Looking at the room full of people in an instant, Qin Yuan sighed, the people who came were quite even, and everyone who should have come came - Song Yiyang, Gu Hui, coaches, assistant coaches, customers......

Everyone has a different look on their face and a different mind, but what is certain is that everyone's interest in this gamble is undoubtedly the same.

Customer Ding used his elbow to pestle his friend who was standing beside him and asked, "Eh, I know this Yan Hao, who is the little guy who is competing with him, why haven't I seen him before?"

"Oh, you haven't been here for a long time, have you? That kid's name is Qin Yuan, and he hasn't been here for long. I think about it, it's been about half a month!" his friend returned.

"Hey, why did Lao Song take in a child, is his ball skills really good?"

My friend couldn't help laughing: "Poof, it's not good, Lao Song can't beat him!"

Customer Ding was shocked: "What's the matter? I'm just on a business trip for a while, how can I make it seem like I've missed the whole world." ”

So his friend described the match between Qin Yuan and Song Yiyang in detail.

At the same time, Gu Hui crossed the crowd, strode towards Qin Yuan, and said with fake concern: "Xiao Qin, why did you gamble for no reason?"

Seeing Gu Hui, the initiator, appear, Qin Yuan was angry, but he didn't have a good attack in front of everyone, so he could only say coldly: "It's nothing, it's just a discussion." ”

"Yes, yes, we just learn from each other, billiards is not a one-person sport, everyone plays together and makes progress together. Yan Hao saw Gu Hui appear, and hurriedly said earnestly: "Boss Gu, you came here today, you happened to meet the two of us in a competition, you have to stay and take a look before you say anything!"

Yan Hao thought to himself that I didn't want you to know whose ball skills were better, but I didn't expect God to help me, Gu Hui actually sent it to the door by himself, how could Yan Hao let him go at this time.

didn't know that these words were in Gu Hui's arms, and Gu Hui also followed Yan Hao's words with a lot of face: "Of course, it's my honor to watch the superb skills of the two. ”

Qin Yuan didn't want to waste time on the nonsense of these two people, so he said to Yan Hao: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and prepare." With that, he stepped aside and began to wipe the club seriously.

Just as Qin Yuan and Yan Hao were each preparing, Cai You looked at the room full of audiences, and a good idea flashed through his mind.

"Ahem, everyone be quiet, be quiet!" Cai You cleared his throat and said loudly: "Since it's gambling, you can't do without a referee, don't you say?"

Without waiting for others to respond, Cai You continued: "It just so happens that the boss is here today, for the sake of fairness, why don't you just ask the boss to be the referee, what do you think?"

Yan Hao said with great confidence: "Of course there is no problem! Whoever becomes the referee will have the same ending." ”

Qin Yuan nodded calmly: "Yes." ”

"What do you think of the boss?" Cai You looked at Song Yiyang.

"I'm just here to join in the fun, why did it hit me?" Song Yiyang touched his nose and said helplessly: "But since you two think so highly of me, of course I'm very happy." ”

Song Yiyang paced out of the crowd, and after a few steps, he came to Qin Yuan and the others, and asked, "Have you all discussed the bet?"

Cai You, who was on the side, was afraid that the two would regret it, so he hurriedly replied before they could speak: "It's already been said, Qin Yuan's bet is this special table, of course, this box is also included, and Brother Hao's bet is the club in the showcase." ”

"Tsk, you guys are betting a lot!" Song Yiyang was surprised, thinking that it was just fun to add a small color, but he didn't expect to play so big.

"Well, boss, I'm sorry I bet on the table without your consent. Qin Yuan apologized to Song Yiyang in a whisper.

Song Yiyang smiled and shook his head, "This is what you won from me with your ability, since it already belongs to you, it is your freedom to do whatever you want." Then he said in a voice that no one else could hear in Qin Yuan's ear: "Besides, with what I know about you, you won't do things that you are not sure of." ”

The two exchanged a tacit look.

"Have you decided, are you sure you won't regret it?" Song Yiyang confirmed to Qin Yuan and Yan Hao again.

The two nodded.

"Then have you decided on a few rounds and a few wins?"

Qin Yuan and Yan Hao glanced at each other, and Qin Yuan said indifferently: "You can decide." ”

Yan Hao thought to himself that the longer the time dragged on, the greater the variables, and with more rounds, he really didn't have much certainty of winning, so it was best to take him down in one game while Qin Yuan was still unclear about his path.

Yan Hao, who thought of it like this, said: "Everyone's time is precious, don't waste time, let's decide the outcome in one game!"

Qin Yuan and Yan Hao are comparing English snooker billiards this time, so let's briefly introduce it here.

Snooker, also known as English billiards, bag billiards. Snooker is transliterated from the English "snooker", which means obstacle.

Snooker billiards can not only hit the ball into the pocket to score, but also consciously hit the obstacle ball that makes the opponent unable to show his skills, so that the opponent is blocked and punished. Therefore, snooker billiards is highly competitive and interesting, and it is one of the mainstream billiards projects that are popular in the world today.

The table used in this sport is about 3569 mm long and 1778 mm wide, with a hole in the center of each of the four corners of the table and two long sides, and the balls used are divided into 1 white ball, 15 red balls and 6 colored balls (yellow, green, brown, blue, pink and black) for a total of 22 balls.

The process from tee shot to when all the balls are bagged is called an innings. If one team fails to score a full shot or plays an infraction, the batting right is given to the other team. A game can be decided by playing one, three, five, and seven rounds. The outcome of each game is determined by the number of points scored by both sides, and the winner with the highest score is the winner. There are two ways to score: one is to score by scoring a goal, and the other is to score through a mistake by the opponent. 1 point is awarded for each red ball, 2 points for a yellow ball, 3 points for a green ball, 4 points for a brown ball, 5 points for a blue ball, 6 points for a pink ball, and 7 points for a black ball. Therefore, both sides will do their best to pocket more black balls in an attempt to score more points.

The semi-circular area on the table is the tee area, with the diameter of the colored ball yellow-brown-green. The tee-off side may place the white ball anywhere in the tee-off area, and after each stroke, the white ball must be played from wherever it stops. The player must hit a red ball before they can choose a favourable colour ball. Once the ball has been scored, it needs to be removed and swung back to its own anchor point. Then, the red ball is played, and then the red ball is scored, and so on, after all the red balls are in the bag, the color balls must be played in the order from the low score ball to the high score, which is the yellow ball, the green ball, the brown ball, the blue ball, the pink ball and the black ball. At this time, the colored balls scored do not need to be taken out again until all the colored balls are in the pocket, and only white balls are left on the table, and the game is over.

The rules of snooker are very cumbersome and complicated, so I won't go into more detail here.

After getting a definite answer, Song Yiyang made a starting gesture and said, "Okay, according to the rules, let's fight for the ball first." ”

The decision on tee off is made in different billiards games, and the method is also different.

In American billiards, two players hit their respective cues from the left and right sides of the tee area at the same time to the top bank, and then return to the vicinity of the first bank, regardless of whether the main ball touches the first bank or not, and finally, the main ball is close to the first bank and gets the right to tee.

In English snooker, the referee tosses a coin to decide who kicks off first.

In American billiards, special attention is paid to tee shots. Because the side with tee off usually has a huge advantage. On the contrary, in snooker, the side with the right to kick off will suffer a little.

Song Yiyang quickly threw the coin upwards, and when the coin fell, he firmly grasped it in the palm of his right hand, and looked at the two: "Words or flowers?"

Yan Hao preemptively said: "I'll choose the word." ”

Qin Yuan paused: "Flowers." ”

Under everyone's expectation, Song Yiyang slowly opened his right hand, only to see that the face up was-

"Word!" Song Yiyang announced, looking at Yan Hao as he spoke, "Do you decide to kick off yourself or let the other party kick off?"

"I'll do it myself!" Yan Hao glanced at Qin Yuan proudly, as if to say that then I will suffer a little bit and let you be better.

The corners of Qin Yuan's mouth twitched slightly, and he shook his head helplessly.

After hearing that Yan Hao chose to kick off in person, Xiao Qian, who was onlookers, couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and secretly asked Sun Qing: "Coach, isn't the side that doesn't kick off in the snooker game more at a loss? Why didn't Yan Hao let Qin Yuan kick off but opened it himself?"

Sun Qing was also puzzled, but still replied: "What you said is indeed right, the kick-off side in the snooker game will generally suffer a little, but it is not absolute." However, I guess Yan Hao wants to take the initiative in his own hands, and doesn't want to give Qin Yuan a chance, it seems that he is determined to win this game. ”

"Hehe, does he still want to clear the stage with one shot?" Xiao Qian mocked.

Of course, Yan Hao didn't have a whimsical shot to clear all shots, after all, if he had that kind of ability, he wouldn't have cowered in this club, I'm afraid he would have become a professional player a long time ago. He just wanted to try to open the score and establish an advantage, so he chose to strike first.

Assistant teacher Xiao Wang asked worriedly, "Uncle Sun, who do you think will win?"

After thinking for a while, Sun Qingcai replied: "Yan Hao's level is known to everyone, not much top, but he is still ranked top in our club." I wasn't there in the game between Qin Yuan and the boss, so I didn't know him very well, but since the boss and Gu Hui both took such a fancy to him, they naturally had his advantages, and I couldn't tell which of them would win. ”

Sun Qing paused for a moment, and then said: "Now that there are so many people watching, the noisy environment has a great impact on the people of the game, and it depends on which of them has better on-the-spot performance and psychological quality." However, I guess Yan Hao's chances of winning are greater, after all, he has also participated in many official competitions and has more experience, while Qin Yuan has not been in contact with billiards for a long time, and he has not participated in any competitions, so he will definitely be nervous in the face of such an environment, and once he is nervous, he is easy to make mistakes. ”

After listening to Sun Qing's answer, Xiao Wang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "Is what you said true?" I hope that the Buddha will bless Brother Hao to win, so that Boss Gu can know that Brother Hao is the better one." ”

Xiao Qian sneered: "Hehe, your brother Hao shouldn't capsize in the gutter today!"

"You!"

Seeing that the two of them began to quarrel again, Sun Qing had a headache, and hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, stop arguing! Look, Yan Hao is ready to kick off." ”
