"I don't know. But I heard from the coach that the boy wearing glasses has plans to play professionally, and I have seen him practicing in the ball room before. His level is quite good. I have never seen him lose."
"Really? I haven't seen the other boy play. Maybe he got lucky because of his luck."
The surrounding spectators were predicting the victory of this game, but the two players turned a deaf ear.
After the game started, the two basically left opportunities for their opponents in every game.
Wang Siheng won the first set. Then in the second set, Ling Zhi seized the chance of a long shot missed by Wang Siheng and won the set.
After that, the scores of the two increased alternately. After Wang Siheng won the first game, Lingzhi followed closely behind.
After an hour, the score reached 4:4.
Through the first 8 games, Ling Zhi had already figured out Wang Siheng's style of play.
If I were to use one word to describe it, it would be "reasonable".
His shot selection was so reasonable that even if he made a mistake and missed an opportunity, the position of the white ball was suitable for him to hit the target ball he originally wanted to hit in the next shot.
He rarely plays on the long bench, and even when he does, he makes sure not to miss out on opportunities.
It stands to reason that Wang Siheng and Ling Zhi have similar playing styles and both belong to the conservative side, but for some reason, Ling Zhi does not feel any sympathy for Wang Siheng.
If Lexus was completely conservative before this competition, after the experience of this competition, he has transformed into a style that focuses on stability and takes initiative as a supplement.
Under the influence of this style, looking back at his past self, he felt that he might have been too conservative and failed to take the initiative to seize many opportunities.
Of course, the change in batting style is also closely related to the improvement of one's own ability.
The previous Lingzhi couldn't control the aggressive hitting style, that's because his accuracy was not online.
After two weeks of training, his half-billiard stroke success rate is already very high. So this change can support him to have more options.
Now that the match point was approaching, Ling Zhi gradually became more nervous. He looked around and saw that the girl with short hair had not appeared yet.
Ling Zhi felt slightly disappointed, but immediately gathered his energy and focused on the competition in front of him.
In the ninth inning, Lexus kicked off.
After the two took turns, Wang Siheng put the white ball lightly against the two adjacent colored balls on the edge of the library, opened one of the colored balls, and placed the white ball in front of the other colored ball, giving Ling Zhi a stroke.
gram.
After it was done, Wang Siheng stood aside and didn't say much.
In the first few games, when he made mistakes, he would joke and say he was too good. Ling Zhi laughed it off and didn't take it seriously.
Now that the game is in full swing, Wang Siheng gradually stopped teasing and became much more serious.
Wang Siheng's idea is not complicated at all. He simply opens his own ball and puts the white ball in a position that makes Ling Zhi uncomfortable.
After making Snooker, Lexus needs to set up the handstand and raise the tail of the club to hit the ball.
In the case of Snooker, generally you will not choose to attack, after all, the handstand is too uncomfortable.
Ling Zhi originally planned to play it safe, but after observing the situation, he still smiled bitterly.
The colorful ball that Wang Siheng just opened has already arrived near the mouth of the bag, and Lingzhi can't prevent it no matter what.
If Wang Siheng scores this goal later and opens the only remaining side ball, then he will no longer have a dead ball, and Lingzhi will be completely passive in this round!
Thinking of this, Ling Zhi's heart moved: He wanted me to defend, but I didn't. He wanted to play rationally, so I wanted to take the initiative!
Thinking of this, Ling Zhi made up his mind, set up the scaffold, raised the tail of the pole, and prepared to attack.
Usually, Ling Zhi would tremble involuntarily when he stood up the armrest. But today was different. He felt that the armrest on his left hand was surprisingly stable.
I saw the four fingers of his left hand standing on the edge of the table, with his thumb raised. The cue stick was moving between the thumb and index finger, aiming at the upper part of the white ball.
The back stops in front and the shot is released!
Since the handstand did not shake at all, the direction in which the club went out was no different from what Lexus expected. After the white ball hit the No. 1 ball in the lower half of the table, the No. 1 ball went into the pocket with a crisp sound.
Then, the white ball library went to the last full-color ball in the upper half of the table, the left top pocket of No. 5 ball.
There was a burst of exclamation from the surrounding guests and they applauded involuntarily. It is impossible for these golf room regulars not to know the difficulty of this shot.
Wang Siheng next to him was stunned for a moment. After being silent for a long time, he finally couldn't help shouting after the shot:
"Come on, how dare you attack this kind of ball? And you even scored! This arm of yours is made of gold! Why does it stand so stable!"
Ling Zhi smiled softly and explained:
"Just good luck."
"Luck? You guys are really..."
How could this be luck! In Wang Siheng's view, being so humble is a complete show off!
The process went smoothly after that. Lingzhi cleared the No. 5 ball and the black eight, won the game, and took the lead for the first time in this game.
Wang Siheng was also helpless. Ling Zhi dared to take the initiative and seize the opportunity, but he couldn't say much.
And this game seemed to be the turning point of the whole game. The rest of the game turned into a situation where Lingzhi took the lead and Wang Siheng chased behind.
In the end, the two sides reached the decisive game.
Although the two sides were evenly matched, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Lexus took the initiative in terms of momentum in the second half of the race.
Although momentum is something invisible and intangible, it is crucial to determining the course of the game.
There has always been a saying in billiards that if one player performs well, the other player will be intimidated by comparison.
Momentum has always belonged to the brave. Hitting the long stage and reversing a single game can bring you full confidence. On the contrary, it will also undermine your opponent's confidence to a certain extent.
At this time, Chen Lizhong and Liu Lili had already finished the game. Judging from the time he stood aside, he might have won by a big score.
There were also many guests gathered around Lexus' table, wanting to see who would win in this game.
In the decisive game, as the two continued to get started, the two sides finally competed for the last black ball.
The entire ball room fell silent, which was an extremely rare situation since the 5-point challenge. Everyone gathered around the ball table, waiting for the result of this tiebreaker.
Wang Siheng seemed more cautious in this situation, constantly using his previous experience to defend, hoping to wait for Lexus to give him an opportunity.
When the two balls were placed in the top and bottom bins by Wang Siheng respectively, Ling Zhi would either divide them on both sides, or hit the white ball up and knock the black ball down.
When Wang Siheng puts the black ball in the side bank, Lexus often chooses to take the initiative to attack and bring some high sticks. In this way, even if the black ball does not go in, the white ball will sink to the bottom bank, which will not leave Wang Siheng with too obvious
Chance.
Unknowingly, the two of them actually defended for 10 minutes. Wang Siheng never took the initiative to attack. What is strange is that Lingzhi's offense did not miss a single ball.
In any game, those who take the initiative to attack will always face risks. If they don't advance, they may miss out on opportunities. This is also easy to understand. After all, there is no such thing as a free trade in the world.
However, at the same time, luck is more willing to favor those who dare to eat crabs. In the last game of Lexus, although Lingzhi used some defense while attacking, the target ball never stopped near the mouth of the bag.
It is undeniable that the goddess of luck is always looking after him.
The spectators on the sidelines were not impatient at all and were extremely engaged in watching. This is normal. If the two people on the court were not fighting for the black eight, if two people were replaced casually, the game would have ended very quickly.
Under the attention of many golfers, Wang Siheng once again defended the black ball to the left side bank of the lower half of the table. However, the position of the white ball was not controlled well, and finally moved to the left side bank of the upper half of the table.
If the white ball can be defended to the top, then Lingzhi will have a very difficult time attacking with this shot.
However, at this moment, although the two balls are still stuck in the pocket, they are more or less in a straight line with the left bottom pocket, leaving room for everyone to look forward to.
When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!
Ling Zhi did not feel impatient, on the contrary, he seemed calmer at the moment.
Although the ball was still very difficult, he did not find it difficult to handle. After thinking for a moment, he no longer aimed the club head at the high club position, but chose the mid-to-low club, planning to hit the black ball and then
The white ball is placed where the black ball is!
Pause in front, move the pole, stop in front, and release the pole with force!
With a crisp sound, the black ball fell into the bag, and the scene was filled with endless cheers and applause!
"Awesome, brother, so accurate!"
"Okay, okay, both offensive and defensive, the game is exciting!"
From time to time, someone patted Ling Zhi on the shoulder and congratulated him.
Although Ling Zhi doesn't know them, he will still thank them one by one for their support.
After a while, the crowd dispersed, and Wang Siheng stepped forward and shook hands with Ling Zhi with a smile.
"Brother, I really can't beat you. Your accuracy is really incredible!"
Ling Zhi smiled back and said:
"You're not bad either. Your defense is almost watertight. The last shot only gave me a chance to score a mid-to-low shot. If you could have defended better, it would have been almost impossible for me to score."
Wang Siheng smiled and shook his head and said:
"Actually, I also know that defense does not bring me the initiative. On the contrary, it is you who constantly take the initiative to try long-term attacks. Although it is difficult to score most of the time, there are more opportunities and there is always one shot that can be scored."
He paused and continued:
"So I have been thinking about changing my playing style recently, and your playing style also gave me a lot of inspiration. Although I lost this game, I have to thank you."
"It was a wonderful game, I enjoyed it very much, and I have to thank you too."
Just as he was talking, Chen Lizhong came over and said directly to Ling Zhi without comforting Wang Siheng:
"Congratulations. I'm looking forward to competing with you tomorrow."
Ling Zhi smiled and responded:
"Yes, I hope you can give me more advice tomorrow."
…
Walking out of the gate of Xingyu Billiards, Ling Zhi was filled with emotion.
A month ago, he was just an ordinary billiards enthusiast in a ball room. However, now, he is extremely close to winning a small game.
Although on the surface, he felt that he was not a match for Coach Xingchen and Chen Lizhong, he did not come here to win the championship, so he was very satisfied to achieve such results.
At this moment, he has unprecedented confidence in his own strength. He is confident that he is very close to the ceiling of his strength among ordinary golfers nearby. And this is enough for him now.
Ling Zhi put away his thoughts and felt a little lonely. After the victory, he felt a little regretful that he could not share it with Zhao Shiyan face to face.
It was not yet 8 o'clock in the evening. Ling Zhi checked his phone. Zhao Shiyan had not left him a message, and he did not know if her lecture was over.
Ling Zhi left a message to Zhao Shiyan and briefly talked about his battle situation. At this time, Chen Feng called him:
"Hey, Lingzi, have you finished the beating? How was the result?"
Naturally, the roommates knew about Ling Zhi's participation in the competition, but they were all busy with their own affairs, and they didn't want to disturb the two of them when they were alone, so they tacitly did not come to support it.
"Haha, it's not bad. I narrowly won the decisive game. What's wrong? Why are you so concerned about my game today?"
"Oh, you won, congratulations! Mainly because Gao Feng and I were a little itchy and didn't want to go to a place so far away from Nanjing Normal University to play golf, so we came to No. 8 Youth to play a few rounds. By the way, I want to ask you how
Are you done? If you have nothing to do, you can stop by and sit down."
It would have been good to sit there in the past. It was still early anyway. Then I would just sit by and watch the two of them fight and take a rest. As for Bai Ming, although he had a bad past with him in "Youth No. 8", now he has
After defeating him in a one-on-one challenge, Ling Zhi would not show any emotion again even if he met him.
Ling Zhi agreed to Chen Feng. After hanging up the phone, he left a message for Zhao Shiyan, informing her of his whereabouts and telling her not to come over. She could come back during the finals tomorrow. Seeing that Zhao Shiyan did not reply for a while, Ling Zhi
He took back his cell phone and walked toward the village in the city.
…
"Youth No. 8".
Today is Sunday, and many people came to play ball. As soon as Ling Zhi entered the door, he immediately recognized the location of the two Feng brothers and walked towards them.
"Hey, Ling Zi is here. It's okay. You can make it to the finals!"
"Go, go, go, Lingzi is already capable of winning the championship, what are you so excited about over there!"
"Of course I'm excited. If Lingzi wins the championship, I can brag about others in the future. I have a champion roommate..."
Ling Zhisheng looked at Chen Feng helplessly, this guy really didn't regard himself as an outsider!
He sat aside and watched the competition between the two Feng brothers.
However, I don’t know if this game between the two Feng brothers can be called a game. From Lingzhi’s current perspective, watching their game cannot be called “appreciation” because the theme of this game is one
Words, do it!
Ling Zhi did not feel bored. On the contrary, after experiencing a high-intensity competition, he felt extremely relaxed when watching the match between the two Feng brothers.
Watching the two Feng brothers throw the white ball into the bag from time to time and exert force to deform it, Ling Zhi didn't feel anything wrong. On the contrary, he felt that this was the real form of entertainment.
After a few shots, it was Chen Feng's turn to hit the ball. I don't know if he was excited or if the club head moved down too much. After the shot, the white ball flew directly to another table.
Ling Zhi was a little helpless, the shot was too shaky! Just as he was about to get up and pick up the ball, and then took the opportunity to tease Chen Feng, he saw two people from another table gathered around and shouted at the three of them.
:
"What are you doing? Do you know how to play ball?"
