Of course, Zhou Ping knew why Edward was a little targeted at himself.

This guy is actually a person who can't control birds (uh, why use it?), and once had thoughts about Luo Mengting.

But Luo Mengting ignored him at all, but because of the relationship with Selena, he didn't say anything.

When Zhou Ping and Luo Mengting came out of the hotel that day, Edward's jealous eyes betrayed his heart.

"Fight occasionally, after all, I can't find an opponent in the United States, and Coach Rubens recommends me to play some professional games, how can I have that spare time?" Zhou Pingfeng said lightly.

"Professional competition is not a casual ......"

Halfway through speaking, Edward suddenly came back to his senses, oh, Shet, this guy is so arrogant!

Although he also feels that he cannot find a suitable opponent in the United States, he will not say it directly and unscrupulously like he does.

Whether this is conceit or arrogance, let's prove it with practice!

Edward raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "So, Mr. Zhou's skills are good? It's still early, why don't we play a few games?"

As he spoke, Edward deliberately raised the valuable Vacheron Constantin on his wrist and looked at the time.

Zhou Ping smiled reservedly, raised his wrist as well, and glanced at it casually: "Well, it's only ten o'clock, which is indeed a bit early, but since you want to play, you always have to add some bets." ”

His pupils shrank, and Edward apparently recognized the more expensive Patek Fili in Zhou Ping's hand.

He seemed to be stimulated, and he didn't think much about it, and immediately said: "Mr. Zhou wants to gamble as much as he wants, and I am naturally happy to accompany him." ”

Zhou Ping glanced at Edward, and said in a wanton manner: "Everyone knows, isn't it okay to gamble?"

"It doesn't matter, don't you Huaxia have a saying: small gambling is fun, just have fun!" Edward said immediately.

"Well, since you say so, then bet a million dollars! you won't be too little, right?" Zhou Ping said with a finger.

What? A small bet of a million dollars! Edward's eyelids jumped.

He subconsciously glanced at Selena beside him, as if with questions.

The latter hesitated, stood on tiptoe and whispered a few words in his ear.

Zhou Ping heard it clearly.

Selena was telling him about Luo Mengting's birthday, when Zhou Ping smashed tens of millions of American knives to hug the beauty, and he didn't hear that he played well.

After listening to Selena's story, Edward was a lot more relaxed.

Since the other party is such a loser, a million US dollars is obviously really a small bet, so there is no other routine.

Moreover, Edward felt that he was in good shape today.

Since this gentleman took the initiative to give himself pocket money, how could he not accept it?

Edward no longer hesitated, and agreed, "Okay! Or the rules just now, how about a tie-break?"

Zhou Ping nodded: "Well, the four rounds are just right, and the money won is just right for supper." ”

Edward paused visibly, then sneered and turned towards the bar.

Zhou Ping was about to follow Edward, but Rubens beside him grabbed him and said in a low voice: "Zhou, I'll go and prepare to bet first, this time it's all up to you." You must win this arrogant guy, try to break 100 in a single stroke, it would be better to be able to hit the full score, and I will treat you to a big meal and a good drink when you win the money. ”

Zhou Ping smiled.

No wonder Rubens deliberately provoked the other party, it turned out that he was waiting here!

However, Rubens is not a bad person, and Zhou Ping certainly doesn't mind that he can make a fortune.

Although he is divorced, he still has a son and a daughter in his hometown who are raised by his ex-wife, and he has to send a lot of money every month for child support.

Following Edward to the bar, after reaching a betting agreement, Zhou Ping walked over to Hank, who was a little lonely and arranged his clubs alone.

"Hey, Mr. Hank, can I borrow your club?"

Hank glanced at Zhou Ping suspiciously.

Zhou Ping smiled, stretched out his finger and pointed at Edward not far away: "I think that guy is a little unpleasant, saying that in the land of America, there is no one who can challenge him." Although I am Chinese, I can't help but bet a million dollars with him, so I want to borrow your club for use. ”

Hank's eyes widened: What! A million dollars? Just because of a moment of anger......

Brother Han felt that Zhou Ping's million-dollar knife must have been smashed into the water.

However, thinking that after Edward won the game just now, he didn't even have the basic etiquette of shaking hands with himself, and he still looked at himself with that kind of eyes, he immediately nodded and handed over his club.

"No problem, you can use it, but I think you'd better not bet so much!"

For this suggestion, the corners of Zhou Ping's mouth curled, and he said very conceitedly: "It's okay, if you have money, you can put the bet on me, winning is not a big problem, you can consider betting on one hundred and forty-seven, the next one hundred dollars, maybe there will be unexpected returns!"

Dropping these words, and ignoring the confused Hank, Zhou Ping came to the sofa next to the table and sat down.

The melodious bell rang again, and the host in the center of the room announced aloud: "Ladies and gentlemen, please be quiet, Mr. Edward, the victor of the last game, will become the new champion." ”

"The following is challenged by Mr. Zhou Ping from Huaxia, the rules remain unchanged, the handicap has been opened, please continue to bet. ”

After seeing everyone's eyes fall on the one-sided handicap on the electronic screen, they all seemed a little hesitant, and after a pause, the host paused and then said: "Our champion Mr. Edward and Mr. Zhou from Huaxia privately raised 1 million US dollars! In addition, Mr. Zhou also bet on himself to break 1 million dollars in a single stroke with more than three strokes, and a full score of 10,000 dollars!"

As soon as the host's voice fell, the audience, who were still a little uninterested, immediately reacted enthusiastically, and they were stimulated by this little-known challenger.

The number of people involved in this round of investment has become more numerous and even crazier.

Although the odds were low, everyone was almost one-sided on Edward.

As the volume of bets continues to grow, so do the odds.

Zhou Ping's odds turned out to be 10 to 1, while Edward became 0.4 to 1.

Seeing this, Rubens gritted his teeth and immediately added another five thousand dollars to Zhou Ping.

In the first game, Zhou Ping kicked off first, which can be called a textbook kick-off, and the three stars directly put the cue ball back behind the coffee ball.

Rubens clenched his fist and subconsciously let go.

Because this scene is so familiar, it is the routine that Zhou Ping used in the morning, and it is obvious that after a morning of practice, Zhou Ping has done it more perfectly.

After Edward looked at it for a long time, his brows tightened, the position of this ball was indeed too tricky.

Because of Zhou Ping's hit just now, three red balls left the red ball pile and were distributed near the mouth of the two bottom bags on the left and right, which was very conducive to attacking.

There's no problem with the ball, but it's a bit difficult to defend after the release.

In desperation, Edward could only gamble on his luck and put the white ball near the hole in the bottom pocket on the right side as much as possible.

Because only there are already two red balls in that position, the only one that can leak is the one near the bottom pocket on the left side.

Of course, Edward's original intention was naturally to hide the cue ball as much as possible, so that Zhou Ping had no offensive route.

But unfortunately, in the end, there was still a few ball positions, and Zhou Ping had a thin ball with a large reverse corner that could attack that single red ball.

However, to everyone's surprise, Zhou Ping did not choose to attack, but continued to hit the red ball pile, and once again steadily put the cue ball back behind the four-point ball.

Through the close-up of the high-definition camera on the big screen, everyone realized that the white ball had returned to its original position!

Rubens, who was still a little worried, finally came to his senses.

Zhou Ping is obviously going to grind Edward with a terrifying defense!

Although Edward's style of play itself tends to be steady, after all, he is a young man, and he must not reach the realm of Peter Alberton, the king of the mill.

Another defender in the same position, Edward's eyes were gloomy to the extreme, and he suddenly realized that he had underestimated this Chinese man named Zhou Ping too much.

However, Edward was not a believer, and it was almost the same line, and he managed to put the cue ball back near the pocket on the right side again.

With his previous experience, Edward adjusted his power and hitting point slightly, and the cue ball successfully hit the target ball, and the position he stopped after eating the library was much better.

At least at this angle, it is impossible for Zhou Ping to thin the red ball in the bottom pocket on the left side.

Zhou Ping didn't think about it, and hit a red ball that was exposed near the red ball pile again.

Syllable!

Another star eats the bottom bank and successfully puts the cue ball back in almost the same position......

When Zhou Ping put the cue ball back behind the coffee ball for the fifth time, the audience burst into warm applause.

The audience has also watched many professional masters play, but such a classic defensive battle is really addictive to appear in this kind of underground ball game.

You know, snooker itself means obstacle ball.

Now Zhou Ping's five strokes can be said to be an almost perfect interpretation of the essence of snooker, if it is in a professional game, such a scene is going to go down in history.

At this moment, Edward's forehead, as an opponent, was already covered with beads of sweat the size of beans, and the opponent's accurate calculation and control of strength were too exaggerated.

Edward never thought that there was such a terrifying snooker defense ability in this world.

The key is that he has realized that Zhou Ping is simply intentional.

Suddenly, he saw Zhou Ping's gaze fall on a familiar figure not far away.

Mike...... How did this guy get here?

Suddenly, Edward seemed to realize that the other party was clearly deliberate.

Of course, he knew Mike, and he knew Selena's relationship with Mike.

However, he was able to easily snatch Selena back from Mike's hands, and as a temporary girlfriend on vacation, he was actually quite proud.

Isn't this guy named Zhou Ping ready to avenge his good friend?

Bastard, snooker isn't just about defense!

Edward took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and got back to his feet.

It's the same route, but after four previous attempts, Edward is already very familiar with it.

He is confident that he can control the dot and power to the best of his ability, sticking to the red ball at the bottom of the right pocket.

A crisp shot sounded, and the cue ball traveled exactly as Edward had intended, almost perfectly touching the red ball.

The referee signaled that it was not really sticked, and Zhou Ping actually chose the red ball with a large angle on the left side of the pocket this time.

Finally can't help but attack?

A sneer tugged at the corner of Edward's mouth.

Most of the people around the arena were people who had placed heavy bets on Edward.

Although Zhou Ping's terrifying defensive ability is greatly appreciated, for them, it is the most important thing to be able to win the bet in the end.

They are also expecting Zhou Ping to make a mistake.

However, I am afraid that in addition to Zhou Ping himself, only the experienced Rubens knows what he wants to do.

Or defense!

This time, the white ball was thin and the red ball was a strong acceleration after eating the library, and the two stars attached to the blue ball returned to the back of the coffee ball again.

Quiet!

The audience suddenly fell silent, and only the sound of heavy breathing remained.

Whoa......

I don't know who took the lead, but the audience once again erupted in warm applause, as if the ceiling was going to be torn off.

Mike, who rushed to hear the news, happened to see this scene after being brought in by Rubens, who was instructed by Zhou Ping, and his eyes widened suddenly.

As a good friend of Zhou Ping, Mike clearly remembers that when he was in college, he occasionally went to play American billiards on weekends, and he could only play with rookies like himself at most.

I never thought that he would play snooker so well!

However, it doesn't make sense at all!

Even if he deliberately hides his strength in order to save his face, it is impossible not to practice all the time, and he can still maintain such a terrifying technique?

However, seeing Edward as if he had swallowed rat droppings, he couldn't help but feel secretly happy in his heart.

Just when Mike was making up for all kinds of brain supplements, Edward, who had been deeply shocked by Zhou Ping's metamorphosis technique, fell into an almost difficult long test.

Because after the red ball hit by Zhou Ping just now ate the library, it actually stopped near the mouth of the bag.

Edward didn't dare to put the white ball in its original position now, so he could only stick the red ball pile as much as possible, blocking all possible routes for goals.

Even so, with Zhou Ping's terrifying calculation power, it is still possible to risk scoring a goal by flipping through the bag.

Then, whether he continues to choose offense or defense, he will be at ease.

In addition, the bet of one million dollars is not a small amount for an ordinary rich second generation like Edward, and the pressure is also not small.

Coupled with the appearance of Mike, he felt that Zhou Ping was determined to win.

Considering all the circumstances, Edward only felt that his heart was beating faster and it was a little difficult to breathe, especially the hand holding the club, which was trembling slightly......

Now, he can only pray that Zhou Ping makes a mistake.

Edward's luck was good, the cue ball was really close to the red ball pile on the right, and if he wanted to attack, he had to rely on hitting the red ball after eating the library.

It's a pity that this time Zhou Ping still chose to defend.

And what makes people fall through the glasses is that they still hit the red ball under the pink ball, and then eat two stars and put it behind the coffee ball again.

Whoa......

The moment the applause rang out again, Edward's heart was broken. 8)
