Although Ling Zhi was not affected by Bai Ming's frivolous attitude, his words reminded Ling Zhi.
It turns out that in the eyes of others, I am now in a state of being neither high nor low?
I'm not good at scientific research, and I don't even think about playing professionally. I do two things at the same time, and I can't do both well. Is this what Bai Ming means?
No, no, no! He was still thinking too much. Bai Ming didn't know how well he was doing in scientific research. From his point of view, he probably just lost the game and felt unbalanced.
But for me, his words have a different meaning.
Although it is right to work hard, it is better to have a specific goal. What you plan to do after graduation should be carefully considered.
After making up his mind, Ling Zhi picked up the rod box at hand and walked towards Zhao Shiyan's table.
…
The match between Zhao Shiyan and Liu Lili was in full swing, with the score temporarily reaching 4:4.
The guests nearby were delighted. They felt that it was a worthwhile trip to be able to feast their eyes on the two billiards heroines today.
The two girls have similar playing styles, both are very aggressive and have little defense.
If the first eight games only looked at the game and not the players, the spectators might not even realize that the players were two girls.
Zhao Shiyan also felt very satisfied today. She was used to playing against Ling Zhi, so when Ling Zhi defended her, she always felt very uncomfortable. Wouldn't it be nice to have a simple fight where you die or I die?
She also often made jokes to Ling Zhi, asking him not to worry so much when playing, and Ling Zhi always agreed verbally with a smile.
But when playing, there will always be times when there is no opportunity. Whenever this happens, Ling Zhi will still subconsciously defend. At this time, because there are no good offensive opportunities, Zhao Shiyan can't say anything.
But today, there is basically no chance for the two of them to fight. Basically, if you don't score, you miss the opportunity for me. If I don't score, then you can score as you please, no need to be polite.
"This attack is so sharp. Hey, brother, do you think you can beat them?"
"I can't beat them. I can't beat them both even if I lend my two hands."
"Hey, girl, where did you learn to play?"
"Well, I just taught myself, taught myself, haha..."
Zhao Shiyan dealt with the guests around him, but he was worried about Ling Zhi in his heart and didn't know how he was doing during the game. It would be nice if he was here.
The noise around her seemed to show no sign of dying down. Zhao Shiyan sighed slightly and was about to deal with the few guests around when a sharp shout sounded in her ears:
"Shut up, everyone!"
The surrounding noise stopped and the scene was audible.
The person who shouted was Liu Lili. She was seen silently holding the ball on the tripod, without raising her head to pay attention to the surprised eyes of the guests around her.
Zhao Shiyan was startled by her shout, but soon calmed down, feeling a little unbelievable in his heart.
In the first eight games, there was no verbal communication between the two, but it can be seen from Liu Lili's playing style that this girl, who dresses somewhat boyishly, also has a straightforward personality.
Zhao Shiyan originally thought he had met a cold-hearted girl who had no temper, but he didn't expect that her first voice tonight would completely change his impression of her.
Ling Zhi finished the game and came to the table. He happened to hear the shout and was a little surprised. But he thought this was good. At least the people around him would not disturb them anymore due to Liu Lili's momentum.
Uncle Li came nearby at the right time, smiled and explained to the guests around him:
"We are competing now. Please try to stay quiet and not disturb the players."
Someone was trying to smooth things over, so everyone became more at ease and no one spoke loudly. Besides, Uncle Li was well-known among nearby golfers, so everyone would give him some respect.
In the ninth inning, Zhao Shiyan kicked off the ball.
Ling Zhi stood aside and watched, because the last time he watched the game between Brother Xu and Liu Lili was relatively short, this time, he also had a rare opportunity to carefully observe Liu Lili's strokes.
This girl releases the lever with her left hand, and the pause after releasing the lever is relatively long, which seems to be a rare way of controlling the length of the lever.
There are two common methods of force control in billiards, one is rod speed control, and the other is rod length control.
The club speed control is like Uncle Li's, using the force of the club head to accelerate the white ball the moment before it hits the white ball. The characteristic is that it pauses in the back and in front, that is, it pauses very close to the white ball during the last stroke of the stroke.
The force controlled by the length of the tie rod is just the opposite, it stops at the back, and the force is mainly controlled by the length of the tie rod.
Rod speed control is relatively easy, and it is also the method most people are accustomed to using, including Ling Zhi and Zhao Shiyan.
The length control of the tie rod is more suitable for walking and is suitable for people with delicate control.
Ling Zhi saw that the girl in front of him had such a special way of exerting force, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart.
What is the length of the left hand lever? The players he has seen who can control the length of the lever are all right-handed players. And left-handed players are basically known for their accuracy and rarely use the length of the lever to control force. I don’t know if this girl is just out of habit.
Or there is another teacher.
After watching Liu Lili hit a few shots, Ling Zhi's strange feeling became even worse.
There is no problem with her release posture and movement, and her movement is pretty good, but her scoring rate is a bit lacking. It always feels like she is a little unfamiliar with judging the separation angle, as if she doesn't play Chinese billiards often.
Now the two of them had hit the last black eight. Liu Lili was about to hit the black eight long platform, but when she was about to lie down, she caught a glimpse of a figure outside the crowd from the corner of her eye. She hesitated and made a defensive shot.
The black eight came to the upper half of the table, and the white ball sank to the bottom.
Zhao Shiyan was a little surprised, but he didn't ask any questions. He stepped forward without thinking too much. After moving the stick, he directly attacked the top pocket on the left side.
Unfortunately, Black Eight failed to score, but left a chance for Liu Lili.
Liu Lili glanced at Zhao Shiyan silently, then stepped forward to advance Black Eight and won the game, bringing the score to 5:4.
"This game was lost on defense. But looking at Liu Lili's defensive skills, she can obviously do well. Why did she use an offensive style of play before? If she had defended a few more shots, Shi Yan probably wouldn't have won 4 games."
"Uh, don't think like that, you should cheer for Shi Yan."
Ling Zhi felt a little sorry in her heart and turned to look at Zhao Shiyan. Zhao Shiyan had noticed him a long time ago and smiled awkwardly at him. Maybe losing this game made her feel a little nervous.
Ling Zhi didn't care about the eyes of the people around him. He imitated the way Zhao Shiyan cheered for him before, clenched his fists in front of him and raised his forearms, smiled slightly, and cheered for her!
Zhao Shiyan smiled back at him, then picked up the tripod and set the ball for Liu Lili.
In the tenth game, Liu Lili teed off.
When the ball reached the middle of the game, Liu Lili made a rare obstacle shot for Zhao Shiyan. Zhao Shiyan frowned, and then thought that his opponent had already got the match point, so it was normal to be cautious at this time, so he got down and tried to clear the ball.
Unfortunately, the white ball bounced past the target ball and could not be solved.
Zhao Shiyan stood aside with some regret, waiting for Liu Lili to take the free kick. But she did not take the free kick, and lay down to prepare to hit it directly.
"You can hit a free ball on this shot, forgot?"
Ling Zhi turned around and looked in the direction of the sound. Xu Qing had arrived at the table at some point. It was said that her opponent today was the boy with glasses, Wang Siheng, and she didn't know who would win or lose.
"She didn't commit a foul, she was a little thin."
Liu Lili explained simply.
No foul? There were so many people present, so I guess they didn’t notice the thin edge. Ling Zhi also felt that the target ball didn’t seem to move. But since they said there was no foul, as outsiders, we can’t make irresponsible remarks.
Although Liu Lili did not hit a free ball in this shot, she was not affected. She then relied on accuracy to collect the remaining full-color balls. Finally, she scored black eight and won the game with a total score of 6:4.
The moment the black goal was scored, there was warm applause from the sidelines.
"Oh! It's awesome, it's so accurate."
"Both of them played very well and the game was exciting!"
"I wonder if I can find a chance to learn a few tricks from them."
"Then you go and strike up a conversation..."
Coach Xingchen and Xu Qingwei stepped forward and said something to Liu Lili. Although Zhao Shiyan felt a little regretful, today's game was still very enjoyable overall, so he turned around and signed the game list first without being stunned.
.
At this time, Liu Lili walked through the crowd and walked towards Zhao Shiyan. She smiled faintly, stretched out her hand and said to her:
"You played well!"
Zhao Shiyan was a little surprised. This was the first thing Liu Lili said to her in the whole scene. She immediately came back to her senses, held Liu Lili's hand, and smiled back at her:
"You too! You can fight much better than me."
Liu Lili didn't exchange much greetings with Zhao Shiyan, put away the smile on her face, picked up the game list, and turned to leave.
"Hey, did you see that girl laughing just now?"
"Yes, yes, she looks pretty when she smiles, she is an iceberg beauty!"
The crowd was discussing the two girls and the game just now. After all, where there are beauties, there are endless topics to talk about.
But these have nothing to do with the two parties involved.
Ling Zhi walked to Zhao Shiyan and comforted her:
"It's a bit regretful, the last two games. But you have played very well."
Zhao Shiyan responded with a smile:
"Oh, you don't have to worry. I don't feel lost, but I am very happy. I finally met a girl who is my equal. Oh, by the way, she left in a hurry just now, and I forgot to ask her for her contact information."
"That's right. Let's ask the organizer or Coach Xingchen later to see if they know."
The two picked up their respective pole boxes and walked towards Coach Xingchen.
After learning the two people’s intentions, coach Xingchen smiled and said:
"Oh, she! Isn't it easy to get to know her?"
Coach Xingchen paused and continued:
"I don't have her contact information, but as far as I know, she usually doesn't come here to play ball. In this way, I will take you to a place later, and you will naturally know her."
