In fact, the gambling industry generated by foreign sports has never been cut off.
Although some people don't buy it, before every game, they will habitually look at the winning odds of each player offered by the betting company. They will use this to understand the professional's assessment of the player's comprehensive strength and recent status.
.
Ling Zhi has never bought a ball and will not do so, but he occasionally pays attention to this information.
But Ling Zhi actually knew very well that the old man was not talking about official gambling, but the phenomenon of private gambling in the ball room.
Ling Zhi once witnessed all kinds of chaos in the ball room. For example, the number of people in the ball room increased instead of decreasing every night, and he didn't know who was coming, or a group of people were playing cards around the table but no one was there.
Doing business, and gambling is one of them.
A young man who had fought against him made an appointment with a tall and lanky man. The tall and lanky man proposed to win 4 out of 7 games to set a good prize. The young man was obviously not as strong as the tall and lanky man. He suffered repeated defeats and finally found an excuse to sneak away in the middle of a match.
gone.
Coincidentally, Lexus had the WeChat accounts of both of them at that time, and got different opinions from them.
The young man said that the tall and thin man agreed to bet even though he was very strong, because he was sure that he could not beat him, so he was cheating.
The tall and lanky man felt that he had won so many dribbles in vain and had no reward, so he mocked the young man for saying that he was a wolf with nothing.
Ling Zhi looked down upon QQ. Neither of them were good birds, so Ling Zhi never paid attention to them again.
"You are right. Having technology and having the capital to show off is not enough. He wants to use his technology to make some money for himself."
"So he often looked for some good players in the ball room, observed them, and used these people's confidence in his skills to challenge him. Some people would refuse, but some would agree, and he made a lot of money because of this.
.Lao Xu told me that he already knew about Lu Mao’s virtues before he met you.”
The old man lowered his head, as if recalling these things did not make him very happy. Ling Zhi gradually remembered the scene when he first met Lu Mao:
"Come on, man, let's play a game. Let's not do too much the first time. How about a bottle of mineral water?"
Although Lingzhi understood what he meant, and a bottle of mineral water only cost a few bucks, he instinctively rejected this approach, so he said that he would pay the table fee himself this time, which was regarded as inviting Lu Mao to play. From now on, even if he plays ball
When Fang saw Lu Mao, he never played ball with him again.
The old man continued:
"I've told him a few times, but he didn't seem to take it to heart because I don't come here often, so I've inadvertently encouraged his behavior. His mentality is actually not suitable for gambling, because he simply doesn't
He was not prepared to lose, so I said that his consciousness is far lower than yours."
Ling Zhi suddenly realized that he once thought that the old man was just talking for a moment, but even so, he smiled slightly, shook his head and said:
"Thank you for your compliment. If you and brother hadn't come to the rescue today, we wouldn't know what we would have done."
The old man smiled and shook his head and said:
"He can't beat you, no matter how many games he plays."
This was undoubtedly a scene talk. Ling Zhi was about to say a few more words of modesty, but suddenly he noticed Zhao Shiyan gently tugging at the corner of his clothes. Ling Zhi immediately realized that she seemed to be very impatient with this place, so he immediately said:
"Um, Uncle Li, brother, let's stop here. We can make an appointment another day, okay."
The old man nodded slightly, as if he hesitated to speak, but then he continued:
"You can come anytime if you want to play in the future. I guarantee he won't harass you again. If you don't want to come, you can go to a new ball room near Nanjing Normal University, which is a little further away. You can tell me your name, Li Guohua, okay.
I’ll give you a discount.”
Ling Zhi was a little surprised. He knew that the old man was definitely not simple, but he didn't expect him to have such a background. Although he would not be afraid of green hair, nor would he mind coming here to play alone again, Zhao Shiyan was probably disgusted with this place, so he also
Without being pretentious, he said:
"Thank you very much, Uncle Li, and big brother. Let's go first."
The old man nodded lightly to the two of them, and Xu Dongyang also smiled and waved.
Ling Zhi packed up his clubs, walked to the counter to pay the bill, and did not forget to pick up his book, and walked out of the golf room door with Zhao Shiyan.
Ling Zhi didn't realize it until he reached the street and realized that the girl had not let go of his clothes.
Ling Zhi smiled at her and said:
"Thank you, thank you for standing in front of me just now. Did you know that you were so handsome when you beat that kid just now?"
Zhao Shiyan regained his smile:
"Hehe, the same goes for senior. Also, is your left hand okay?"
After saying that, he let go of Ling Zhi's clothes, grabbed the rod box from Ling Zhi's hand with his left hand, picked up his left hand with his right hand, and looked at it carefully.
Ling Zhi felt the warmth of his hands through the gloves, without taking his hands away, and comforted:
"Don't worry, it's okay. I have wronged you today and you have suffered a lot with me."
Zhao Shiyan didn't find any burns, so he let go of Ling Zhi's left hand, but did not return the pole case to Ling Zhi. He shook his head like a rattle and responded:
"No, it's none of your business. I'm just unhappy with that smoker."
Smoker? Oh, it turns out that in Shi Yan's mind, this is the image of Lu Mao. But it is true that the guy had a cigarette in his mouth the whole time, and he lived up to his name as a smoker. He also took the opportunity to snatch the rod box from Zhao Shiyan's hand, while
said:
"But I should have thought of it a long time ago. You and he have known each other for a long time. After all, he called your name as soon as he came in."
Zhao Shiyan wanted to help Ling Zhi carry the rod box for a while, but she didn't have time to avoid it. But she couldn't care about it anymore and quickly explained:
"Ah? No, I'm not familiar with him. Before I met you, I did come here to practice alone. At that time, he came to talk to me. I felt that he didn't play well at all. I didn't want to talk to you.
To reiterate, I only reluctantly told him his name. In the end, he wanted to add WeChat, but I didn’t agree and left directly.”
Ling Zhi was a little dumbfounded, and he didn't misunderstand anything. It's just that he finally knew the whole story, but he still had a question in his mind.
"Well, although I can probably guess it, I still want to ask you. Didn't you want to fight him at first? Although I did the same, but later you changed your mind and asked him 2vs2. You were
What do you think?...Hey, the rod box is so heavy, I can just carry it, it doesn’t matter.”
Zhao Shiyan's sneak attack was dodged by Ling Zhi, but she did not insist anymore and explained:
"Oh, I didn't think much about it at the time. I just felt that he threw your book aside and was angry. I thought, let's work together to dampen his anger."
Ling Zhi felt warm in his heart and held the book in his hand a little tighter.
"Thank you, thank you for trying to help me vent my anger. But I had similar thoughts at the time, because he was sitting next to me, and I was not happy playing under his gaze. So if you don't challenge him, I will most likely
Will challenge him, or find a reason to send him away."
"Hahahaha! Yes, senior, we thought of going together."
The girl's hearty laughter echoed in the street, and she was completely different from the cold-faced girl in the ball room just now.
Ling Zhi looked at the girl next to him, with her hands behind her back, jumping and jumping as she walked, and her short skirt pants turned up and down as she jumped, revealing more of her legs that were particularly dazzling against the black stockings.
.
Ling Zhi couldn't help but his eyes were a little dull. He hoped that time could stop at this moment, and he hoped that she could laugh out loud without any scruples forever like now.
Zhao Shiyan couldn't help but jump in front of Ling Zhi, turned around and looked at Ling Zhi, and said while walking backwards:
"Hehe! But senior, you should have planned it a long time ago. I mean you arranged for me to fight behind that smoker."
Lexus recalled his considerations at the time.
In fact, 2vs2 games appear relatively rarely internationally.
For British billiards, it has only appeared in the Asian Games and World Cup.
Some countries have very few outstanding players, so it is inevitable that there will be a combination of one strong and one weak. However, such combinations, without exception, failed to achieve any good results in the competition that year.
Ling Zhi has watched some videos of the past Asian Games and World Cups, so he is very aware of this situation.
Looking at the girl with big sparkling eyes in front of him, he returned to his thoughts and said with a smile:
"That's right. Although I did it intentionally, more importantly, I wanted to control the situation on the field before he hit it and stop the white ball in a safe position. At least I wouldn't give him a good chance."
"Of course, I'm not doing this because I don't believe you. If you play behind his female partner, you may be able to seize the good opportunity left by his female partner and collect a few more balls. Maybe we will also have a chance to end the game early.
.You won’t blame me, after all, under so much pressure at the time, I made you the striker.”
The short-haired girl shook her rattle again.
"No, no, no, how could I blame you, senior? Facts have proved that the senior's arrangement is very effective. Besides, the old man named Li, you call him Uncle Li, right? Uncle Li said that the smoker is not as enlightened as we are.
Although I don’t know how he saw it, but when I remembered that the smoker wanted to let his female partner play another shot in the middle, I knew that he didn’t take the result of the game seriously. But I know, you
Both of us are very serious about this competition, maybe this is what Uncle Li is talking about."
"Well, it makes sense, but I think there is another possibility. Uncle Li may not have seen the first half of the game. He said this just to give Lu Mao a warning and let him reflect on his recent behavior."
"Oh, indeed. But what about betting on Q? I didn't expect that there are so many dark sides in the ball room that I don't know about. Senior, have you ever seen anyone betting on Q?"
Ling Zhi was shocked. He had just mentioned gambling in front of Uncle Li, which might have misunderstood the girl. He quickly explained:
"Well, I have indeed seen it, but I have never gambled myself, and I will not touch it. I once had two people's WeChat messages. They had a falling out because of betting on Q, and then one of them asked the other person's question through me.
I said I didn’t know their whereabouts, but I also learned about the process of their bet from the two of them..."
Ling Zhi told Zhao Shiyan what he knew. In fact, he himself had no prejudice against other people's winnings and losses. You and I were willing to accept the bet and lose, but he could never accept that someone was playing tricks in the process.
Thoughts. So when people ask him to set the lottery, he always firmly refuses, even if the lottery only consists of a bottle of mineral water.
Zhao Shiyan was silent for a while, then said with a cheerful smile:
"Yeah, senior, you know so many things, but you can still stick to your own way. I admire you, I admire you."
Seeing the short-haired girl arching her hands in front of her, Ling Zhi burst into laughter and tears. She unconsciously called herself a heroine, and she didn't know who influenced her.
"That's right, senior, you know, I was very nervous at that time, but you were so calm, I felt particularly safe..."
Zhao Shiyan kept reviewing the game, and Ling Zhi also echoed it from time to time. Although the two did not discuss it, they unknowingly arrived at the gate of Linhai University.
Ling Zhi suddenly realized that the time to say goodbye was coming, but the short-haired girl didn't seem to realize it.
"Also, Uncle Li is also very good. He can score two goals in a row under such circumstances. Not only is his technique excellent, but his psychological quality is also very strong. Senior, do you know who Uncle Li is? How come he has
Such good technology?”
Ling Zhi heard the girl ask him and replied awkwardly:
"Well, actually I don't know. I just met him a few times before. I heard from my elder brother that Uncle Li seems to have played in competitions, but I didn't ask further about his specific identity."
"Oh, it looks like this. Ah! It's here so soon."
The short-haired girl looked at the gate of Linhai University belatedly, as if she hadn't talked enough yet. But there was enough chatting about the game, and it was not a pleasant experience. Ling Zhi smiled and shook his head, talking to the short-haired girl
Farewell:
"Well, although we won the game today, it was not a good experience. I'm sorry. I originally wanted to play ball happily, but it ended up like this. If we have time some other time, why don't we go to the place that Uncle Li mentioned?
Want to see the ball room? Although Nanjing Normal University is not nearby, you can get there within 20 minutes by riding a bicycle. You can go back and have a rest early."
The short-haired girl didn't know whether she didn't hear it or something, she lowered her head and said nothing, and had no intention of entering the school. Ling Zhi felt a little strange, hesitated, and said softly:
"Um, Shi Yan?"
Although the short-haired girl obviously didn't like Lu Mao calling her name in the ball room, she had called her by her name before, so it probably wouldn't cost her her life! Ling Zhi prayed in his heart.
The short-haired girl seemed to have made up her mind. She raised her head and hesitated to speak, but finally said slowly:
"Well...Senior, can you accompany me in for a walk?"
Before Ling Zhi could react, she immediately said:
"I want to apologize to my senior. In fact, I had my own selfish motives when I added my senior's WeChat account and asked him to play ball."
