English billiards is widely considered to be the most difficult billiards game in the world.
Although some people may argue that the pocket size of Russian billiards is only 1.1 balls wide, making it the most difficult billiards game to score. However, Russian billiards can be hit with any ball on the table as the cue ball, which greatly
Reduced the difficulty of clearing the platform.
So overall, English billiards is still more difficult.
As one of the representative figures in the field of British billiards, Ronnie O'Sullivan is definitely a figure that everyone in the billiards world knows and knows about in the past few decades.
He is known as a once-in-a-millennium British billiards genius. He has reached the top of the British Billiards World Championships seven times and countless other ranking and invitational championships.
His excellent skills and fast playing style, coupled with his bohemian personality, earned him the nickname "Rocket".
Although he has retired for many years, the legend he left behind is still praised by every generation of professional British billiards players.
Compared with him, Neil Robertson was slightly inferior, but he was still a very popular figure at that time and once reached the first place in the world rankings.
Although his condition continued to decline as he grew older, his career total of 100-breaks in a single stroke is still among the best, making countless new professional players daunted.
When this game was going on, both of them were at the peak of their careers, and no matter who was the winner, Ling Zhi was deeply impressed by this game, and he had some thoughts today, so he found it and reviewed it.
The English billiard table is larger than the Chinese eight-ball table, but the balls are smaller than the Chinese eight-ball table.
Based on these factors, the difficulty of scoring a goal in English half billiards (that is, the white ball and the target ball are on the same side of the line connecting the middle pockets) is not necessarily easier than that in the Chinese long table.
In addition to the white balls, there are 15 red balls (1 point each) and 6 colored balls (yellow 2, green 3, coffee 4, blue 5, pink 6 and black 7) in addition to the white balls.
The rules of the game are that after scoring a red ball, you need to hit a colored ball. After scoring the colored ball, place it back to a fixed point on the table, and then hit the red ball.
If the colored ball fails to score, the opponent also needs to start playing from the red ball.
When the last set of red balls and colored balls are scored, players need to clear the table from the low-scoring colored balls to the high-scoring balls, and finally score the black ball.
The point distribution of colored balls is like a T-shape. The yellow ball and the green ball are placed on the left and right sides of the T-shaped horizontal line. The coffee is placed in the middle of the horizontal line, while the blue ball, pink ball and black ball are placed along the horizontal line.
The T-shaped pole is placed from top to bottom, with sufficient distance between the balls.
The total number of points obtained from each time a player starts to take off the stage is called the single shot score of this shot. According to this rule, it can be easily calculated that if the player starts from the beginning, continues in the middle, and clears until the end
A black ball, then the highest single score is 147 points.
In the last century, there were only 7 single strokes that broke 100 points in a season in English billiards. In recent decades, on average, there have been more than 10 strokes with 147 points in each season, proving that English billiards is the most powerful game.
Talents emerge from generation to generation, and each generation becomes stronger than the last.
This game was a 6-win game in 11 games. From the beginning, "Rocket" was in very good condition, scoring consecutive high scores, and the score quickly reached 2:0.
In the third game, Robertson took the lead and quickly led 64:0, but made a mistake when hitting the red ball in the bag.
When "Rocket" starts, there are only 5 red balls left on the table. Even if every subsequent red ball is connected to a black ball, it can only get a maximum of 67 points. Therefore, if "Rocket" wants to reverse this game, it must connect more high points.
Points are worth the colored ball, otherwise the opponent will still have a high probability of winning the game.
"Rocket" was not timid because his opponent was ahead. He cleared 4 easier red balls in a smooth manner, then hit a pink ball and 3 black balls in the middle. The score came to 64:31.
At this time, the last red ball is close to the left top pocket in the top pocket, and "Rocket" controls the white ball to a position further to the left than the red ball, and the angle into the right top pocket is relatively small.
At this time, some spectators will definitely shake their heads, thinking that it is basically impossible for this ball to attack the top pocket on the right side, because even if it attacks, it is difficult to call the high-scoring colorful ball in the lower half of the table from such a small angle.
If it were other professional players, they might choose to defend at this time, such as stopping the white ball in the upper half of the table and hitting the red ball to the lower half of the table. If the intensity of the red ball is controlled well, there may be a chance to use other colored balls to form obstacles.
Just guard one shot steadily, and you can slowly make a move later. Lexus thought the same way when he first saw it.
However, a few seconds later, "Rocket" decisively attacked the right pocket and scored, and the white ball called the pink ball in the lower half of the table. Thunderous applause erupted from the scene.
It is difficult to attack the side bank ball, let alone use force and move. Incredible! This shot can only be described as incredible! If you can listen to the English commentary, at that moment, the host will keep repeating
"unbelievable", all the spectators at the scene were ignited by this shot.
There was no suspense after that, the "Rocket" scored the pink ball and called the yellow ball, and then it was clear all the way.
Although there was a shot error in the middle, "Rocket" failed to clear the stage, but he still relied on his accuracy to find opportunities in the defensive battle, cleared the pink and black, and achieved a single-shot reversal of 64:65!
Classic! Although this set is not perfect, it is enough to be included in the British billiards textbook. Seeing this set again, Ling Zhi still felt overwhelmed and couldn't help himself. Robertson lost a good opportunity to regain the game, "Rocket" 3
:0 lead, this set may become the turning point of the whole game.
Ling Zhi was still unfinished and couldn't help but take out his mobile phone, clicked on Zhao Shiyan's WeChat, and sent:
"I see you play billiards very well. I wonder if you have ever watched an English billiards match. I just watched a game between the Rockets and Robertson. I don't know if you have heard of these two, but they are very good.
Two players. Their third game..."
Ling Zhi excitedly shared his thoughts with this new golfer. After sending it, he realized that he had typed so many words on his own, and it was not certain whether people would be interested in reading it. He immediately felt a little embarrassed.
However, it didn’t take long for Zhao Shiyan to reply:
"Ah! Which game? Although I can't play English billiards, I also like to watch English billiards games. Of course I know the two of them. There seems to be no English billiards games recently. Are you watching the video?
"
Only then did Ling Zhi come back to his senses. He didn't even explain clearly which game it was, which was embarrassing. But it can also be heard that the girl usually pays a little attention to English billiards, otherwise she wouldn't be so clear about it during the offseason recently.
"Sorry! Sorry! I was a little excited and didn't explain it clearly to you. This is..."
Then I forwarded the link smoothly.
Within a few minutes, Zhao Shiyan sent Ling Zhi an exclamation emoji back.
"It's so hard! It's worthy of being a thousand-year-old 'rocket' who dares to play and fight hard. I've heard of this game, but never seen it. It's really unbelievable. Most people can't play such a game. Only he can."
"Yeah, yeah, it's a pity that he retired. It's really a bit lonely without him in today's English billiards arena."
"Yeah, I feel the same way. Such high-quality games are hard to come by, and one game is less than one."
"Watching the video made my hands itchy. Are you free tomorrow or Friday? Can I ask you to play ball again?"
"Well... let's see. If I have time, I'll call you and we'll play together again. After all, you are my lucky star. I hit the first shot in your hand to clear the table, haha."
Ling Zhi was a bit dumbfounded. This had become his own dark history.
"no problem."
After watching a game and having another match, Ling Zhi was in a good mood. He was about to watch the rest of the game when he saw Zhao Shiyan replying a message to him:
"But seniors, if you don't do scientific research at night, but watch videos, you are fishing [squints and smiles]"
Ling Zhi suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He was accidentally exposed. He sighed in his heart and replied seriously:
"Well, I'm used to doing my own thing at night. Occasionally I go play ball, and occasionally read paper books in the dormitory. I'm really not a serious graduate student. If you criticize me, I'll accept it [with shame]"
Zhao Shiyan replied:
"Oh, senior, I look so scared of you. You can actually find some excuse and say that you watched the video for a while during your free time while doing scientific research. How can you be so serious and say that you are not serious, haha."
Ling Zhi suddenly had the urge to cover his face.
"Well, I'm not good at lying to others."
"Forget it, I won't tease you anymore. Everyone has their own habits. I think it's good for you, senior. Reading and playing ball are both good ways to relax. You don't have to worry about other people's opinions!"
Seeing Zhao Shiyan say this, Ling Zhi felt warm in his heart.
"Yeah, thank you for saying that, I'm very happy."
"Yes, yes, do you have the urge to die for your confidant? Hahaha..."
Ling Zhi suddenly felt that he was going to be played to death by this girl. No, he couldn't be so passive anymore. While thinking, he was about to ask the girl what she was doing just now. But he didn't expect that the girl beat him to it:
"By the way, senior, didn't you just say that you like reading? Have you read any interesting books recently?"
"Oh, I can't say it's interesting. I just finished reading "The Secret" by Keigo Higashino. It's a science fiction book. I don't know if you've heard of it. It's about..."
"Oh, I've read some of Dongda's books. I like them all in the suspense genre. But I haven't read the one you mentioned. I've read his "White Night Journey" and "Suspect x"
"Devotion"..."
"Yeah, well, it seems we are in the same hobby. [Shake hands] Because I first watched "Phantom Night" which was very similar to "White Night Journey". The final ending made me uncomfortable, so I didn't dare to watch "White Night Journey"
》.”
"Hahaha, senior, you are so serious. But we are all the same. Our persistence in happy ending can never be defeated [Come on]"
"That's right,..."
Unconsciously, Ling Zhi and Zhao Shiyan had been chatting about books until almost 10 o'clock, and then they realized that they had been chatting for too long. It seemed that Chen Feng had sent the data to him just now, but he had forgotten it in the blink of an eye. He had to stop and start.
Help Chen Feng sift through the data? But Lingzhi vaguely felt that he didn't want to stop.
"Oh, yes, I also like "New Participants" very much. The storyboard description of each chapter is particularly excellent. In the end, multiple threads are integrated into one. Dongda's ability to create suspense is really strong."
"Indeed, I also like this book very much, and the details of each chapter are very well described. Although the characters appearing in some chapters later turned out to have nothing to do with the case, Kaga's handling method still makes people feel full of warmth, rather than being casual and perfunctory.
People who have nothing to do with the case.”
"That's right, you know it very well, senior..."
Ling Zhi smiled helplessly in his heart. Although he was completely led by the girl, he didn't hate this feeling. He had given up struggling and screwed his data.
