Ling Zhi and Xu Dongyang walked over and looked at the table. They found a ball placed in the center of the table and a white ball near the mouth of the bottom bag on the left. There was a young man holding a pole and lifting the bag toward the right.
Aiming. Lexus suddenly realized that this was a 5-point challenge.
In British billiards, the center point of the table is the blue ball point, and the blue ball is 5 points, so it is often called the 5-point point.
In Chinese billiards, although the ball does not have a score, the common name of the 5-point point is still retained, which refers to the position of the center point of the table.
Whether in English billiards or Chinese billiards, the white ball is placed near any bottom pocket, and the ball hitting the 5-point point enters the pocket directly opposite, which is called a 5-point point challenge.
Is the 5-point challenge difficult? It is indeed a straight ball. You only need to aim at the target ball to score it. However, in fact it is not simple.
Because most amateur players will have more or less problems with their shots, it is difficult to achieve the integration of man and club without long-term training.
Therefore, the 5-point challenge is generally the best way for professional players to train the stability of their shots. Among amateur players, whether the success rate of 5-point goals is high enough is also used to judge whether they are amateur masters.
.
"Hey, brother, what is this person challenging? Is there any reward?"
Xu Dongyang smiled and found a person next to him and asked.
"You don't know? Look there?"
The man pointed to the counter. Ling Zhi and Xu Dongyang went over to take a look and saw a sign erected in front of the counter that read:
"Opening event:"
"Score 5 points 5 times in a row and get a free one-month membership."
"Score 5 points 10 times in a row and get a three-month membership."
"Score 5 points 20 times in a row, get a 1-year membership, plus a premium golf club."
The prizes are very generous. In a store like this, the hourly table fee is double that of "No. 8 Youth". If you don't have a membership, you really can't afford it, and they also give away clubs.
Although Lingzhi already has clubs, there are not too many clubs. Besides, Zhao Shiyan doesn't have them yet.
But does a person who can score 20 consecutive shots really exist in this golf room? Although Lingzhi is very confident in his shot, and he is in good condition today, he probably can score many shots in a row. But scoring consecutive goals
For 20 shots... Ling Zhi shook his head secretly and laughed at his own fantasy.
Suddenly, Ling Zhi was tapped on the shoulder. Ling Zhi turned his head and saw no one, and then words came from the other side:
"Good evening, Lexus. What are you looking at?"
Ling Zhi turned his head again and said angrily to Zhao Shiyan:
"Why are you still playing this game? Is your group meeting over? We are watching the opening event."
After saying that, he got out of the way. Zhao Shiyan looked at the activities on the sign and said:
"Well, as soon as we finished driving, I rushed over with your pole in hand. You didn't have to wait too long, hehe."
"No, no, my eldest brother and I just played for a while. Hey, I saw someone here challenging for 5 points, so I came over to join in the fun."
"Well, then let's go take a look."
As he spoke, he wanted to pull Ling Zhi's arm again. But then he seemed to realize something, turned around and said to Xu Dongyang next to him:
"I'm sorry, Brother Xu, I didn't say hello to you last time. My name is Zhao Shiyan, and I am Ling Zhi's friend. I thanked you last time."
Lao Xu was also a cheerful person, smiling and waving his hands:
"It's okay, don't worry, I just happened to see it. Come on, don't stand here, let's go take a look together."
"Um."
After saying that, he took Ling Zhi's arm and stood outside the crowd.
Only then did Ling Zhi have time to carefully observe the girl around him.
Perhaps because she just finished the group meeting, the short-haired girl looked like an ordinary sports girl today. White short-sleeves, black sports trousers and white sneakers were completely different from the feminine style she had on Friday.
Although the short-haired girl is also a beauty and looks good in anything she wears, Ling Zhi still feels that this simple style of dress is more suitable for her temperament.
At this time, she was standing on tiptoes, trying to see clearly what was going on inside. Ling Zhi thought about it, patted her on the shoulder, smiled and joked:
"If you want to see it more clearly, why don't you go in and show your skills later?"
The girl with short hair rarely hesitated, put her index finger on her chin, and did not readily agree.
Ling Zhi looked at her, remembering the confession he made when he walked on campus last time, and he understood in his heart. He casually took the rod box she held in her left hand and said naturally:
"Don't worry, I'll be with you."
Without waiting for her to agree, Zhao Shiyan turned around and walked towards his English billiard table. Zhao Shiyan stared at Ling Zhi's back with wide eyes, then raised the corner of his mouth and followed quickly.
Ling Zhi arrived at his table, opened the club box, took out the clubs, assembled them, and handed them to Zhao Shiyan, but Zhao Shiyan didn't take them.
"Well, I'll just use the club you're holding."
"Oh, why are you so coy? It doesn't look like you at all."
As he spoke, he grabbed her arm and handed the club into her hand. In order to prevent her from betraying her stubbornness again, Ling Zhi quickly added:
"You can use mine. I'm going to change my clubs today. Did you just see? I scored 20 high-quality clubs in a row."
"boast!"
Zhao Shiyan immediately looked at him with disdain. Lingzhi smiled, then went to the black ball point, set up a straight ball and started practicing. Zhao Shiyan didn't insist anymore, silently accepted Lingzhi's kindness, and started practicing near the middle pocket.
After a while, the two returned to the outside of the crowd. At this time, the batsman was replaced by a middle-aged man, wearing a black shirt and a watch on his left hand, who was concentrating on hitting the five-point mark. As the white ball popped up,
The target ball fell steadily into the bag, and some of the people nearby applauded, while others patted the table to express their appreciation.
"Okay, Coach Xingchen, you are in good condition today. You scored three shots in a row."
Said the service girl who was helping him pick up the ball.
The middle-aged man named Xingchen scratched the few hairs he had left in embarrassment and said with a smile:
"It's okay, it's okay."
As he spoke, he took the white ball back to the bottom bag and pushed it a little toward the center point.
"Oh, coach, you are so good, why do you still want to steal the opportunity?"
The young lady rolled her eyes at him, but did not correct him. After all, the white ball was still very close to the mouth of the bag, so a small push would not reduce the difficulty at all.
Coach Xingchen scratched off a few more hairs, smiled, and without saying a word, he lay down and continued to hit the ball. With a crisp sound, the target ball fell steadily into the bag, causing the crowd around to get excited.
"Okay, bro, it's accurate!"
"Hey, how about you teach me a few moves later? I see you are quite stable in your strokes."
"I have less hair but more knowledge. Do you know?"
"Go, go, say something sarcastic."
Coach Xingchen scolded the crowd around him, but the smile on his face betrayed his pride. He placed the white ball again and prepared to hit the fifth ball. However, this time, the target ball shook a few times at the mouth of the bag.
Unable to break in successfully, there was a burst of lamentation from the surrounding crowd.
"Oh, it's a pity that even you can only score 4 shots in a row. I guess we are even more miserable."
"I'd better go to my table and play slowly."
"The weather is so humid that you can hear the friction of the rod. It would be better to say that I can score 4."
Coach Xingchen smiled, shook his head, and stood aside.
"Sure enough, it's still not okay to just come over and play without practicing."
The young lady next to me consoled me:
"Okay, coach, don't be miserable. Okay, who's next?"
"I come."
"I, I, I, I will try."
Zhao Shiyan and Ling Zhi wanted to give it a try, but there were too many people in front of them and they had no chance to squeeze through, so they could only wait patiently at the back.
"Hey, man, are you playing basketball or murdering? The ball flew so high."
"Brother, do you know how to hold the pole? You haven't even touched the ball."
"Sister, that's good, it touched the bag's mouth."
Ling Zhi smiled and watched the waves of people showing off their embarrassment, and didn't care. Entertainment was the main focus in the ball room. Although everyone's skills were not very good, they were happy.
Seeing the crowd in front of him gradually thinning out, Xu Dongyang couldn't help but step forward to try a few shots. Ling Zhi and Zhao Shiyan both stood behind the elder brother to avoid disturbing him.
Brother Xu's ball was still good and his shot was pretty solid, but he only scored two goals in a row and couldn't continue. Ling Zhi and Zhao Shiyan still applauded generously, because everyone who has actually played this kind of ball knows that
It's hard to get even one in.
Taking advantage of the fact that there were few people around, Zhao Shiyan quickly stepped forward and placed the white ball, and the young lady helped her place the target ball at the center.
Zhao Shiyan still took the same stance as before, moving the club calmly and unhurriedly.
Since Lexus clubs have always been kept in the club box, they are less affected by the weather and do not get too much moisture, so the golf clubs are quite smooth and there is not much friction sound.
Then, with a steady stroke, the white ball stopped at the center point and the target ball fell into the bag.
"Okay, sister, you have some skills."
"Did you come alone? Do you want to practice together for a while?"
Zhao Shiyan smiled and shook his head, picked up the white ball and put it back to its original position.
In the past, when Ling Zhi was playing one-on-one with Zhao Shiyan, he would mostly subconsciously observe the game.
This time it was a 5-point challenge, and Ling Zhi had more opportunities to observe the girl's stroke and hand frame.
He noticed that the short-haired girl's hand was not holding the fingertips against the countertop like ordinary people, but the fingertips were against the countertop, as if she was tightly grasping something.
"Sure enough, Shi Yan is talented in all aspects. Only Brother Hui has this kind of scaffold shape."
While thinking, Zhao Shiyan had scored 4 goals in a row, and people gradually gathered around him. He didn't know whether they wanted to watch the ball or people.
As the fifth ball was scored, long-awaited cheers erupted from the surrounding area, resounding throughout the entire ball room.
"Oh, girl, you have solid basic skills. Where did you learn to play ball?"
"Can you add me on WeChat? Girl, let's have a date together if we have nothing to do in the future."
Zhao Shiyan was busy arranging the white ball, not even bothering to smile politely. Ling Zhi looked at the crowd around him and frowned, but didn't say much. However, he once again deeply felt that Shi Yan and her actions
A girl, a girl who is good at billiards, how popular she is in the billiards room, and the pressure she carries.
After a while, almost the entire ball room was gathered here. Within Zhao Shiyan's sight, behind the crowd, people jumped up and down from time to time, wanting to see the scene inside. Ling Zhi raised his right hand and swung it down.
He tried to silence those people twice, but no one listened to him.
Zhao Shiyan sent out the shot in the noisy atmosphere around him. The target ball was far away this time and could not be successfully pocketed.
"What are you dancing over there for?"
Ling Zhi couldn't help but get angry. Although the people in front of Zhao Shiyan were watching quietly and making no movement, people's vision was more or less peripheral. Although they couldn't see clearly, those who were jumping around were more or less aware of it.
There is some impact on the shot.
"It's none of your business. Who are you? Her boyfriend? Mind your own business."
Ling Zhi was furious and was about to go over to argue. Zhao Shiyan silently held him back and said calmly to the guys in the distance:
