334. Existence is reasonable
You must know that Rubens gave up a lot of things in order to play.
It was also because of playing that he finally had to leave his homeland to "wander" to the United States!
Why is there such a big gap between these people? Can they still play happily?
After a while, the battered Rubens gradually came to his senses from the shock, and said with a depressed face, "I only knew that there was a Ding in Huaxia who was very powerful, but your appearance completely subverted my cognition. ”
"Since you have no intention of becoming a professional snooker player, I wonder if you are interested in playing underground balls? Not only can you meet a lot of masters! ”
As he spoke, Rubens squeezed his eyes at Zhou Ping, looking angry.
Hey, Zhou Ping felt a little surprised.
In the past reincarnation, Rubens was more obscure about snooker underground gambling, but this time he said it directly.
But to be honest, Zhou Ping thinks that underground gambling should be a bit interesting.
If you have the chance, you can indeed go to see the legendary underground game and see if there is a chance to meet Fat Lee.
That is one of Zhou Ping's favorite snooker players besides Ronnie O'Sullivan.
However, he was banned for life by the World Taiwan Federation because of match-fixing, and he was occasionally seen in some private snooker exhibition matches held in China, but he was extremely athletic and had a sharp ball style.
Thinking of this, Zhou Ping immediately nodded, "Look at the time, there is a chance to play." ”
Hearing this, Rubens seemed very happy, and the depression of losing just now was swept away.
Zhou Ping knows that because he has not been in contact with snooker for a long time, although there is no problem with accuracy and road calculation, he is still inferior in experience compared to those professional players.
For example, if you have an experienced golfer, you will definitely choose to clean the cue ball first to avoid static electricity.
Or with accuracy, when the other red balls with better points are still there, deal with them first, so that the attack will not be interrupted.
Perhaps a similar situation, whether it is for Ronnie O'Sullivan or John Higgins, should be more ideal.
In the following time, Zhou Ping mainly practiced offense and defense and K-ball from various angles.
After all, he had thoughts of cruelly abusing Edward.
Since he wants to hit that guy's confidence, he naturally has to blow up all kinds of tricks on the snooker he is most proud of.
Don't beat the other party to a breakdown, and then doubt how to do in life?
It's best to be able to get him to give up snooker, or every time he hits snooker, there will be a psychological shadow!
As a coach, Rubens can certainly see that although Zhou Ping is very good, there are still some harmless shortcomings compared to his impeccable skills.
Seeing Zhou Ping practicing offense, defense and K-ball so honestly, he felt even more that Zhou Ping didn't go professional, which was really a big loss in the snooker world.
In front of him, he is obviously a genius who can create miracles and put his name in the history of snooker.
Although he didn't want to continue to fight Zhou Ping to win or lose, Rubens couldn't help but feel a little itchy when he saw him playing.
However, this time he finally remembered his own work today, which belongs to the real sense of the sparring partner.
Before Zhou Ping came over, Vic had already paid him 2,000 US dollars in advance.
After a "friendly" match, Rubens sincerely invited Zhou Ping to participate in the underground Sloc ball game in the evening, and it is said that there are some masters from afar.
However, Rubens is already very much looking forward to what kind of shocked expressions will the appearance of Zhou Ping make these so-called masters show?
Rubens warmly invited, and Zhou Ping also wanted to accumulate a little competition experience first to ensure that he could take over Edward more easily, so he readily agreed.
Walking out of the club, I saw that the time was already half past four in the afternoon, so Zhou Ping first called Tang Haitao of Silk Afterglow and set a large cubicle.
Subsequently, he contacted the women's group at home, and by the way, he called Luo Mengting.
Originally, Zhou Ping was still a little worried about whether Luo Mengting would get along with other people, whether there would be any estrangement, and he needed to take some time to integrate into the collective.
But he obviously thinks too much, and women obviously have more common topics than men together, unlike men who turn over and over are the old three.
Several people chatted very happily together, as if they had been best friends for many years, chattering from cosmetics to food, from food to clothing, from clothing to hobbies, from hobbies to dreams......
Zhou Ping, who was sitting next to him as a background board, suddenly felt left out.
In order to punish them, Zhou Ping, who had no amount of alcohol and had the courage to drink, poured their wine under various excuses.
Of course, for Xu Yue, who has the double title of the goddess of wine who is not drunk in a thousand glasses and the queen of assists, of course, I like it very much.
After all, there is a fundamental difference between the passion that can be unleashed after drinking and the passion that can be released in a sober state.
After enjoying a sumptuous meal, Zhou Ping and Xu Yue looked at the few people around them who were already peach-faced, and glanced at each other!
I have confirmed the eyes, they are all people who like waves!
Everyone is very familiar with each other, and naturally there is no problem of a bad sense of substitution!
Later, with the help of Xu Yue, Zhou Ping returned home with a few slightly drunk beauties.
Under the double stimulation of alcohol and vivid pictures, Zhou Ping showed his true demeanor and worked hard towards the goal of supergodhood......
At about eight o'clock in the evening, Zhou Ping, who had just taken a shower and enjoyed the girls' all-round massage, received a call from Rubens.
Today's underground snooker game is less than an hour away, and he wants to ask Zhou Ping if he is coming!
"Wait!"
A well-dressed Zhou Ping hurried out the door, met with Rubens, and led him to a club called Foggy Night.
After entering the club, it was not at all like the chaotic and noisy scene that Zhou Ping imagined, but it was like stepping into a high-end private drinking party.
The people inside gathered in twos and threes, lowered their voices, and exchanged various information with each other.
Of course, with his excellent hearing, Zhou Ping soon found that everyone was more discussing tonight's ball game.
Hehe, what a coincidence!
You actually met them here......
At this time, Selena and Edward, who were originally holding hands and greeting the people around them, also glanced at Zhou Ping.
It's really because Rubens is quite famous in this circle, and when he first appeared, someone took the initiative to come up and say hello.
Therefore, it is unlikely that Zhou Ping, who stayed by his side and was treated respectfully by Rubens, would not want to go unnoticed.
When Edward saw Zhou Ping, his pupils shrank slightly.
Immediately, he nodded a little arrogantly, and said hello reluctantly.
"Mr. Zhou, do you see an acquaintance, do you need to go over and say hello?" asked Rubens with a smile on his face.
After seeing Zhou Ping's strong strength, and knowing that the other party was a friend of Mr. Vic Wharton, he didn't dare to hold it up at all.
"No need, let's take a look first!" waving his hand, Zhou Ping said indifferently.
He didn't expect to meet Edward so early.
However, Rubens seems to have mentioned it before, and there are also foreign masters who will participate, well, it seems that this Edward is the so-called foreign master.
At that moment, a pleasant bell rang.
The people who were talking or walking around the hall stopped at the same time and turned to look at a middle-aged white man in a tuxedo and holding a small bell in the middle of the living room.
It was from his hand that the voice came out.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome! Tonight's showdown is between Mr. Edward, who has just returned from Europe, and our champion, Mr. Hank!"
Immediately, the host briefly introduced the identities of Edward and Hank.
However, apparently in order to stimulate everyone to bet, this introduction is inevitably a bit exaggerated, deliberately putting various titles on the two, but also creating an evenly matched effect.
"Now, then, gentlemen and ladies bet!"
As soon as the host said this, the music began to play.
A few girls in bikinis dressed very sexy and hot danced in the center of the scene.
The people around him seemed to have become commonplace, and they walked to the bar with an indifferent face and began to place bets.
The bookmaker's handicap is clearly in favor of Edward, so the odds are lower at 07, compared to 13 for Hank.
In addition to the winning and losing markets, bets also have a total number of games and a variety of corresponding odds from 60 points to a perfect score.
Especially for the full score, the odds are fifty times higher, and the prize is capped at $1 million.
These people often participate in this kind of activity, and they are very familiar with the rules, and they don't need to ask much at all, and they start to bet profitably.
In many countries around the world, it is forbidden to gamble on snooker.
However, existence is reasonable, and gambling is not at all prohibited, and even many professional snooker players will take the risk of participating in it.
Even if they may be banned by the World Taiwan Federation because of this, it will not stop their pace.
After all, because of the huge rewards of gambling, people can't help but take risks.
At this time, Selena had already helped Edward take off his coat and put on a small vest full of British style.
Edward's handsome face with confidence and pride, coupled with his unkempt hair, is indeed a very attractive man.
If you can win one or two championships, you definitely have a chance to be built into a first-class snooker star and achieve fame and fortune.
So from Selena's point of view, it seems understandable to make such a choice between her old and new boyfriends, after all, life is material, and love alone cannot meet the needs of material enjoyment.
In the seat opposite Edward, tonight's champion Hank also appeared.
This is a man in his thirties, with a bit of a fat figure, and his head has been shaved because of his hat.
His expression appeared calm, even a little cold.
After about a quarter of an hour, the music stopped, and the dancing girls in the center of the room withdrew.
Edward and Hank walked to the center of the table and after the host introduced the referees and briefly repeated the rules, the game began.
In the previous reincarnation, Zhou Ping had also read some of Edward's game materials and had a basic understanding of his skills.
There is no doubt that Edward does have the capital to be proud of.
His style of play is a bit like a combination of Mark Selby the Clown and Robertson the Melbourne Robot.
Although the spectacle is somewhat reduced, this cautious style of play does work well for the game.
Especially against the kind of opponent who is relatively impatient, Edward's style of play can easily bring the opponent into his own rhythm.
Fortunately, Hank belongs to the kind of play that has a strong heart and is extremely calm.
Otherwise, I am afraid that from the first game, this game will completely lose its spectacle for bettors.
Even so, the best-of-seven match only lasted five games, and Edward easily attacked it with a score of 4-1.
Among them, they handed in an answer sheet of 87 and 103 respectively.
Zhou Ping noticed just now that according to the rules here, not only will there be a prize of 100,000 knives for successful attacks, but there will also be a bonus of 10,000 US knives for breaking 100 books in a single stroke.
If you can score a perfect score of 147, you will have 500,000 green knives waiting to be pocketed.
You must know that the highest overall championship prize of the Huaxia Open is only more than 200,000 pounds, and the full score prize of 147 is no more than 50,000 pounds.
It's no wonder that many promising players will eventually choose this kind of underground ball game, a simple and crude lure!
Of course, the reverse can also be understood as this kind of underground ball game in order to attract real masters, so high prize money will be offered.
And according to Rubens, it's not actually the most exaggerated.
Some of the more intimate underground tournaments have tens of millions of dollars in gambling and exaggerated prizes.
However, Rubens also secretly told Zhou Ping that Edward was a rich second generation, so he gave up these bonuses and donated them directly to charity in his name.
In fact, it is to avoid being held accountable by the World Taiwan Federation and cast a shadow on his career.
Therefore, he is only participating in the competition of football skills, and there is no gambling behavior.
Edward glanced at Zhou Ping casually, and came to Selena with a smug face, who cheered, and unscrupulously opened his arms to hug his boyfriend and gave him a hot kiss.
At this moment, Edward became the most eye-catching protagonist in the audience.
Selena, as a female companion, also looked happy and proud.
After a passionate kiss from others, Edward pulled Selena, who was blushing, and walked slowly to Zhou Ping.
But obviously he deliberately wanted to despise Zhou Ping, so he didn't even say hello, and his eyes fell directly on Rubens.
"Mr. Rubens, I've heard of your name for a long time. I don't know if I'll have a chance to talk to you. ”
Rubens raised his eyebrows, subconsciously looked at Zhou Ping, shook his head and said, "Mr. Edward, I am already old, and this era belongs to geniuses like you and Mr. Zhou." ”
Zhou Ping was slightly stunned, and then, he understood what Rubens meant.
This is a deliberate attempt to push himself out and fight Edward.
Although the time came a little early, it can be regarded as a stroke of Zhou Ping's heart.
Although Edward's strength is remarkable, Zhou Ping is still confident that he can win him with the skills he has mastered.
"Oh, does this Mr. Zhou also play snooker? I thought he would only play table tennis or something. Edward looked at Zhou Ping with some arrogance, and his tone was unabashedly bantering.
