When night fell, an underground billiards club in City B.

Audience A: "Hey, this big brother, who is competing with whom tonight?"

Audience B pointed his hand in a certain direction: "Look over there, do you see? It's the one who is sitting, and tonight he is going to challenge the master of punishment." ”

Audience A: "Hey, why is it so familiar? It's not ...... That two-time World Professional Championship champion Qin Yuan......? He shouldn't be in a place like this with his standards?"

Spectator B pursed his lips and replied, "What kind of ball king? Now it's just a reservoir dog!"

Audience A was stunned when he heard this: "What do you say, big brother, do you have any inside information, share it with me?"

Audience B smirked and said, "Hehe, there's no inside story, most people who often follow international snooker competitions know it." After Qin Yuan won the last professional world championship, he didn't know who he had offended, but he hired a group of thugs to cripple Qin Yuan's right hand, and I heard that the injury was quite serious. Since the fight, Qin Yuan has lost one game at a time, one game at a time, and after his professional ranking fell directly from the top five to the hundredth, he can only abuse amateur players now. ”

Audience A took a light breath: "Hey, who did it? Qin Yuan is so miserable to do such a ruthless hand! I used to be his fan." ”

Audience Member B: "Hmph, who knows? Although there is a rumor that it was done by the god of high cold, I don't believe that my idol would do such a thing." It must be that Qin Yuan himself offended people and didn't know it, he deserved to be beaten, and it also involved my idol to take the blame. ”

Qin Yuan, who was closing his eyes and preparing for the next game, listened to the discussion of the surrounding audience and smiled helplessly.

"Sure enough, in competitive competitions, dishes are the original sin. No one cares if you're in bad shape, if an old injury has recurred, even if someone breaks your right hand, as long as you lose the game, it's your fault. But so what, one day, I will give back a resounding slap in the face to those who framed me and laughed at me!" Qin Yuan swore secretly in his heart.

Ding ding ding, the bell that heralds the start of the game has sounded.

Moderator: "Good evening, everyone, the competition is about to start, first of all, let us thank the sponsor of this competition, Mr. Zhai, who is also the owner of our club, for the 20,000 yuan prize money he provided for this competition! The first to enter the arena is the champion who has successfully defended the ring for three months - Xingfeng! Everyone is welcome!"

As soon as the host's voice fell, Xing Feng walked into the arena with the cheers and shouts of chasing light and everyone, "I am the winner tonight!" Xing Feng said categorically.

Host: "It seems that tonight's criminal players are full of confidence, so let's look forward to your performance! Next is tonight's challenger - Qin Yuan, the 20-year-old who became a professional billiards player, became a top 5 professional player in the world in 5 years, and won two consecutive World Professional Championship championships!

Qin Yuan slowly got up, straightened his clothes, and walked into the playing field with his own exclusive cue on his back.

Host: "Contestant Qin Yuan, don't you want to say something?"

"No need, let's start playing. Qin Yuan shook his head.

Tonight's game is a best-of-seven format. In the snooker game, each red ball is 1 point for a total of 15, 2 points for the yellow ball, 3 points for the green ball, 4 points for the coffee ball, 5 points for the blue ball, 6 points for the pink ball, and 7 points for the black ball. The shot must follow the order of "one red and one color", and after the red ball is played, the colored ball will be hit from the low score and hit until the table is cleared.

In the first game, Qin Yuan kicked off first, Qin Yuan lay on the table, his right hand was forced, and the ball exploded with a "pop", and the red balls spread out in all directions, and one of the red balls rolled into the middle pocket, at this time, the red balls on the table were scattered, and the white balls were not far from the black balls.

Qin Yuan looked at the situation on the table, thought for a while, and aimed at the black ball with the white ball, although it was easier to hit the pink ball into the bag, but in order to end the game as soon as possible, Qin Yuan had to choose to hit the black ball with the highest score.

He slowly pulled the lever, aimed at the bottom of the white ball, and then snapped out, the white ball hit the black ball directly, sending it into the bottom bag! At the same time, the white ball also stopped firmly at the position where the black ball was just now, and then Qin Yuan concocted a red ball in the same way, he still aimed the white ball at the black ball, only in this way can he gradually increase the score.

The black ball went in again! Qin Yuan exhaled lightly, thinking that it was not a bad start.

As the red balls on the table disappeared one by one, the score slowly widened. At this moment, Qin Yuan was hitting the 10th red ball, only to see him send his right hand forward, and the red ball slowly rolled into the ball bag.

It's a pity that this time the white ball's position was not well controlled, and there was a red ball blocking between the white ball and the black ball, so Qin Yuan had no choice but to go near and far to hit the pink ball near the middle bag.

Qin Yuan leaned down again, aimed at the right side of the pink ball, slowly pulled the lever, and gently hit the white ball out, the white ball touched the pink ball, and the pink ball slowly rolled towards the middle pocket on the left, but the powder ball rolled slower and slower, and the slower and slower it rolled......

Looking at the pink ball that seemed to be about to stop, Qin Yuan lifted his heart and said secretly: "It's a disaster, the strength is not enough!"

Under the attention of everyone, the pink ball stopped quietly at the mouth of the bag for a few seconds, and these few seconds seemed to Qin Yuan to be centuries later, just when everyone thought that this ball would not go in, the pink ball tilted forward and fell into the ball bag!

"Bang bang bang!" suddenly the audience burst into applause.

"Huh......" Qin Yuan exhaled deeply, fortunately the ball went in.

Although there were some twists and turns in the process, in the end he still managed to keep his opening game and take a 1-0 lead.

Then the second game began, this time by the penal wind, even in the face of 1:0 down the situation, he still calmly carried out every shot, with the red ball, the color ball into the pocket, the ball on the table became less and less.

Xingfeng didn't leave Qin Yuan any chance, and scored all the goals perfectly, 1:1 draw.

In the next four games, both sides held their own serve and tied it 3-3. The situation seems to be deadlocked, and neither side can help the other. Then the upcoming 7th game became the key to this game.

"Come on!"

"Qin Yuan, come on, Qin Yuan, come on!"

The shouts and cheers of the audience resounded throughout the arena, but after a long game, Qin Yuan's right hand, which had not fully recovered, was trembling slightly, and his fingers were slowly stiffening. After realizing this, Qin Yuan's pressure became more and more intense, and the scene of successive fiascos in the past appeared in his mind, "No! this is my only chance, I must win this game and get the prize money so that I can continue to heal my right hand." If you can't even pass this hurdle, what can you talk about returning to the professional circle and making a comeback?"

Qin Yuan's mind swept through a lot of thoughts, on the surface, he was still so calm and calm, but the position of the ball had changed, it was no longer so smooth, so handy, and every shot became so difficult.

At this moment, Qin Yuan made a mistake and actually hit the white ball into the bag, so that Xing Feng scored 4 points for nothing, not to mention, he also got a free kick opportunity.

"Hehe, thank you!" Xing Feng said to Qin Yuan with a smile.

Xingfeng really didn't disappoint everyone, he seized the opportunity of this free kick, easily hit the remaining ball on the table into the bag, and won 3:4!

"Torture wind, torture wind!" the audience cheered.

"Cut, what a garbage pro, I can't even beat an amateur, it's a waste of my time!"

"Tsk, what kind of bad ball skills, what about returning the ball king?

"Qin Yuan loses money! Qin Yuan loses money!"

The noisy environment and the cursing of the audience could no longer affect Qin Yuan, at the moment when the game ended, he seemed to have entered a state of emptiness, he stared blankly at the table, at that moment Qin Yuan had many thoughts in his heart, but there seemed to be nothing. He silently asked himself: "Still can't it work?Is my billiards career really coming to an end?" Qin Yuan looked at his right hand that was still trembling, as if his whole body had lost his strength, and moved back to his seat step by step, he slowly but carefully wiped the cue, and carefully put the cue that had been with him for many years into the cue box.

Qin Yuan picked up the club on his back and walked out of the club with heavy steps amid the ugly curses and mocking eyes of the others.

Outside the club, the lights are bright and the traffic is busy.

Qin Yuan looked around at the bustling surroundings, everyone was busy, but he was very confused, he didn't know where to go, where his road was ahead, and now he could still take the road of a professional billiards player? But he didn't know anything but playing billiards, so how could he make a living?

"Qin Yuan!"

Just as Qin Yuan was pondering, he heard a soft call not far ahead, and when he raised his eyes, there was a man in a hoodie standing under the street lamp in front of him, and the hat covered the man's entire face tightly, making it impossible to see his true face.

"Are you?" Qin Yuan asked, approaching the man.

"It's me, Gao Han. The mysterious man pulled the brim back slightly, revealing half of his handsome face.

"Why are you here? You are not afraid of being recognized by the fans when you dress like this?" Seeing his friend and rival who he hadn't seen for a long time, Qin Yuan had the idea of ridiculing.

Gao Han pretended not to hear Qin Yuan's ridicule, and said to himself: "Why don't you contact us when something is so big?" I just watched your game, and your right hand hasn't fully recovered, right?" After speaking, he secretly glanced at Qin Yuan's right hand. "You shouldn't come out to play before your hand is healed, it's not good for your right hand to recover, what you need most now is to recuperate. ”

Qin Yuan hooked his lips and smiled: "So what? What does that have to do with you?"

Gao Han was stunned for a moment, and seemed to be a little flustered: "We just care about you, or do you also think that I found someone to break your right hand?"

"Of course I know it's not you. Qin Yuan paused, "If you just came to care about me as an old opponent today, I am grateful, but if you are here to persuade me to give up, then please leave." ”

The confusion just now disappeared in an instant, and Qin Yuan's mind had never been so clear, "My own body knows by itself, it is true that it is not completely good now, but I believe that as long as I continue to train, I can return to the previous level." If one month is not enough, it will be two months, and if two months is not enough, then half a year. Someday, I'll be back on that stage. After speaking, Qin Yuan showed a confident smile as he had when he had won the victory in the past, and turned around to leave.

Gao Han grabbed Qin Yuan's left hand, "I believe in you, but your right hand hurt a nerve." I consulted with the doctor and it was almost impossible to get back to the way I was before. After a pause, "Your left hand is not as flexible as your right hand, but it is still intact." There are many people in the world who play snooker with their left hand, and it is not without them that they have won the championship, so you might as well try to practice your left hand. I will wait for you at the Huaguo Open in the second half of the year!" As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Han let go of his hand and grabbed Qin Yuan, and left without looking back.

Gao Han's words illuminated Qin Yuan like a bright light, he raised his left hand and looked at it in a daze, as if he knew it for the first time. "Poof, I never thought there was such a way, sure enough, people with high IQs are different from others. Qin Yuan shook his head with a smile and left here with brisk steps.

The training of the left hand was far more difficult than Qin Yuan imagined, and the posture and habits of hitting the ball had to be changed. The power of the shot, the angle, and the movement of the white ball require a lot of practice.

Qin Yuan is not born left-handed, and he puts in a lot more effort than those left-handed snooker players. But all the sweat was not in vain, using the left hand to practice hitting the ball for only five months, which is already on par with the right hand that has recovered 70 percent, although there is still a big gap from his heyday, but only five months of special training can achieve such results, so that Qin Yuan is full of confidence in his next Huaguo Open.

There was only one day left before the official start of the Open Tournament, and Qin Yuan carefully maintained the cue and solemnly put it into the cue box.

"Huaguo Open, I'm coming!" Qin Yuan, who had prepared everything, gradually fell into a deep sleep.

"Bell bell bell ......"
