Ling Zhi also learned about the general strength of the star students from the coach in advance. Most of them had participated in professional competitions. In contrast, he had only won the championship in amateur competitions. It seemed that he was among the star students.
Can't be ranked.
But having said that, 80% of these star students specialize in Chinese billiards, and relatively few play snooker, and playing Chinese and playing snooker are completely different concepts.
So even though Lingzhi has never participated in a professional competition, he is still confident in his own ability.
However, when the identity of Yunfeng Haining Open champion was revealed, Ling Zhi still felt a chill in his heart.
The Haining Open is one of the stops on the Chinese Billiards Tour hosted by the China Taiwan Association. It is a serious professional competition with ranking points.
If he can win the championship at this station, his national ranking of Chinese billiards will definitely not be low.
Ling Zhi didn't know whether he should feel honored that such a person was in the same group as himself.
However, recalling Wang Siheng's little action just now, Ling Zhi understood the reason why Wang Siheng was so distracted. He planned to have a good chat with Wang Siheng after class.
After Yun Feng finished the introduction, he lowered his head again and scrolled through his phone.
Next, the children introduced themselves. They were all over 10 years old, but they were taller and shorter. Among them, the boy accompanied by his parents was called Lu Ning. He was the shortest. Ling Zhi made a slight estimate.
, if he wants to lie down on the middle eight ball table and play ball, he may have to stand on tiptoes.
Among the other 7 children, 3 have joined the Youth Billiards Association and have a certain foundation, while the other 4 children basically have no foundation.
What surprised Ling Zhi was that he had actually seen one of the children.
Yu Bowen, the kid who lost to him 0:5 in last year’s Huacheng Chinese Billiards Citizen Cup.
Since he had only met him once during a competition and was somewhat face-blind to children, Ling Zhi did not recognize him immediately. It was not until he introduced himself that Ling Zhi remembered that he had met him before.
.
No wonder Yu Bowen looked at him so eagerly. It turned out that he had recognized him a long time ago!
Ling Zhi smiled and nodded to Yu Bowen, a simple greeting. Yu Bowen smiled back and said nothing.
After understanding the general situation of the students, Deng Jiahao also began to introduce himself:
"Hello everyone, I am Snooker international referee Deng Jiahao. I will give you the theoretical lessons these two days..."
"Well, I just wanted to ask, as a referee, do you know how to play ball?"
Deng Jiahao was stunned. He looked at the little fat man who interrupted him. If he remembered correctly, the little fat man should be named Lu Jiarui, and he was one of the three children who had joined the Youth Association.
He paused briefly, smiled and asked Lu Jiarui:
"If I say I don't know how, are you still ready to listen?"
The little fat man didn't notice Deng Cao's hypothetical tone at all. He crossed his arms and said angrily:
"I know how to play, but you don't know how to play, so what qualifications do you have to teach me?"
Deng Jiahao was immediately amused:
"You know how to play? Can you tell me how good you are at playing?"
The little fat man stood up excitedly and began to dance and promote his glorious achievements:
"I participated in last year's Huacheng Chinese Billiards Citizen Cup and won a total of 2 games! 2 games! Isn't that great?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter in the room.
Only then did the little fat man realize that there was someone more powerful than him in the room. He blushed and quickly pointed at Ling Zhi and the three of them and began to explain:
"Of course, I'm definitely not as good as these three brothers, but apart from them, I'm definitely the best player in this room!"
As he spoke, the little fat man had unconsciously classified Deng Jiahao into the team that didn't know how to play. He suddenly felt that the eyes falling on him lacked kindness:
"Watch whatever you want. If you don't accept it, challenge me after class!"
At this time, Yu Bowen, who was sitting next to him, shook his head, stood up, and tried his best to push the little fat man down:
"Okay, sit down quickly, don't embarrass Senior Sister Shi!"
The little fat man really got angry:
"Yu Bowen, are you dissatisfied? Go out for a duel later!"
Just when the two people started to stalemate, Deng Jiahao began to come out to smooth things over:
"Okay, if you want to fight one-on-one, there will be plenty of opportunities soon. Since you are not convinced, how about I invite three star students to come up and give you a talk first?"
Deng Jiahao looked at Wang Siheng with a smile.
Wang Siheng immediately waved his hand:
"No, no, no, no, teacher Deng, this is not a joke."
Deng Jiahao looked at Yun Feng again. Yun Feng was still the same, with his head lowered and scrolling through his phone, as if the incident just now had nothing to do with him.
Seeing that Yun Feng had no reaction, Deng Jiahao turned his attention to Ling Zhi again.
Ling Zhi had already helped Deng Jiahao connect the projector and sat back in his seat. He chuckled and said to Deng Jiahao:
"Come on, Commissioner Deng, don't be humble. We all know that anyone who can be an international referee can score no less than 40 points on a single stroke. Isn't this a well-established rule among international colleagues?
"
The little fat man obviously knew the meaning of the term "single shot score", and he couldn't help but be a little surprised:
"What? Can you hit 40 in a single stroke? Well, no, 40 points is nothing special. Senior Sister Shi can hit several hundred points!"
Next to him, Yu Bowen patted him again:
"Okay, stop talking, don't you think it's embarrassing!"
The little fat man finally calmed down. He also knew that he had gone a little too far just now, but he couldn't help but feel ashamed, so he had to take advantage of Shi Yulu's record to gain courage.
But if Shi Yulu can hit over 100, what does it have to do with him?
He also knows that very few children in the Youth Association practice Snooker as soon as they come up. After all, the threshold for getting started with Snooker is still very high.
Naturally, he also played snooker a few times, but he always couldn't score. Over time, he lost interest and began to concentrate on practicing Chinese billiards.
So he knows very well that if he can score more than 40 points on a single stroke on the English table, he is not said to be very powerful, but he can still be regarded as an amateur master.
The little fat man's silence represented his recognition of Deng Jiahao's strength. Of course, Deng Jiahao would not care about Lu Jiarui's doubts about him just now and continued his explanation.
This small room was originally just a mahjong room for the entertainment of guests, but today it was temporarily converted into a classroom.
There are two mahjong tables in the room, and 13 people gathered around the two tables to listen to the class, which seemed a little crowded.
But this is a free open class after all, so no one will complain stupidly about the bad environment. At most, some children will start to lose focus after hearing half of it.
Naturally, Deng Jiahao would not remind the children to listen carefully. This is not a primary school. When you come here, you have to rely on yourself. He first popularized the general rules of Snooker, and then started to explain some cases:
"I just briefly explained the concept of snooker to you. Now let's look at this case. If the white ball should hit the red ball at this time, does the spherical shape on the table count as snooker?"
Lexus looked at the picture on the slide. There were 4 balls in the picture. A red ball was in the middle of the picture. There were two colored balls on the left and right sides of the red ball. The white ball was in the middle of the red ball.
The positions of the 3 balls below.
Deng Jiahao didn't look at the three Lingzhi people, but looked at the children, wanting to hear the answer from them.
Little fat guy Lu Jiarui is still as positive as ever:
"It definitely doesn't constitute a problem. You can see the red ball directly."
A few children echoed Lu Jiarui, but most remained silent.
Deng Jiahao looked at the parent:
"what do you think?"
The parent smiled awkwardly, shook his head and said:
"I'm not sure, sorry."
Deng Jiahao nodded, said nothing more, and switched to the next slide.
On this slide, the white ball is at the position where the mouth of the bag is close to the corner of the bag. Affected by the corner of the bag, the white ball cannot directly hit the red ball next to the same bank where the corner of the bag is.
This situation is relatively rare, but it is not absolutely impossible.
Anyone who has played billiards knows that the corner of the bag has a certain arc. If the white ball happens to stick to the position of this arc, the range that can be seen will be affected.
"Does this golf ball count as snooker?"
"yes!"
Sounds came one after another. Compared with the previous scene, the children were obviously more confident in their judgment of this picture.
Ling Zhi was also very interested in this case. He also thought it was Snooker, but he did not say it out loud, but wanted to wait for Deng to reveal the answer.
Next, Deng Jiahao showed some cases. The children thought that their answers had passed the test, so their participation became higher and higher.
After showing all the cases, Deng Jiahao switched the slide back to the original case and began to explain:
"The first case is obviously Snooker, because at this time the white ball cannot hit the thinnest sides of the left and right sides of the red ball, so even though you can see the entirety of the red ball, it is still considered a Snooker shot."
"You must remember that although snooker means 'obstacle', it does not mean that it is snooker only when it is blocked by other balls. Anyone who cannot hit either left or right side of the target ball
The thinnest side is always considered Snooker." (Note 1)
"The second case is not Snooker. Among the elements of Snooker, other 'balls' must have affected the white ball, making it impossible for the white ball to hit the thinnest sides of the left and right sides of the target ball. And this
Of course it does not include cushion, which is the cushion. Therefore, the cushion prevents the white ball from hitting the target ball and cannot be counted as snooker."
"..."
As Deng Jiahao explained, the little fat man fell silent. He did not expect that the answer was far from what he imagined.
However, although he did not want to admit that he did not understand the rules, Lu Jiarui could still distinguish the importance in his heart, so he listened carefully and silently memorized all the knowledge points explained by Deng Jiahao.
The afternoon passed quickly. After class, today's class came to an end for the time being.
The children accompanied by their parents went home immediately, but most of the children from the Youth Association stayed here, planning to play ball for a while before going home.
"Brother Lingzhi, I heard that we will be divided into groups for the practical classes later on. Can I be in a group with you then?"
After class, Yu Bowen couldn't wait to find Ling Zhi and discuss with him the grouping of practical classes the day after tomorrow.
"Okay, no problem."
Naturally, Ling Zhi would not refuse and agreed to him with a smile.
"Tch, what do you know? Don't you know that the Citizen Cup is just an amateur competition, while the Haining competition is the real professional competition?"
The little fat man pointed at Yun Feng who had not left the room not far away, with a proud look on his face, as if Yun Feng was his biological elder brother.
"So, the winner of the Haining competition is the really powerful one! If you don't go to his group, don't regret it."
After saying that, Lu Jiarui walked straight to Yun Feng, patted Yun Feng's arm familiarly, and said with a smile:
"Brother Yun, can I join you in the practical class the day after tomorrow?"
Yun Feng glanced at him and said lightly:
"Your basic skills are too poor. I can't help you. Find someone else."
Note 1: The three words snooker generally have two meanings: 1. It refers to a billiards sport, such as "Let's go play snooker together", which means "sport". 2. It is
Refers to forming an obstacle ball for the opponent, making it impossible for the opponent to hit the thinnest sides on the left and right sides of any legal target ball, such as "I made a snooker for the opponent", this is the meaning used in the article.
The concept of the word "Snooker" discussed should take the second meaning.
