Chapter 17 The momentum is overwhelming, advance to the final

Since the first round is over and the top 16 comes out, there are exactly 8 tables in the ball room, so the second round can be played at the same time.

So when the Yiqian game is over, the players in the upper and lower half of the game are basically all finished.

At present, the progress of the competition is over half, and after two rounds, the top 8 have all been decided.

The upper half are Zhao Shibin, Chen Chao, Li Xin and Yi Gan.

In the lower half are Zhang Fei, Jiang Bowen, Jiang Jiandong and Ma Chenyang.

Yi Qian played against Li Xin, and Zhang Fei played against Jiang Bowen.

Those who have advanced to this stage are basically well-known masters in counties and cities near Hexi.

But Yi Qian and Zhang Fei's progress and current strength are beyond the imagination of ordinary amateurs.

双方都用了1个小时，就分别以7比2和7比3的比分轻松双双胜出，晋级四强。

The two walked together and came to watch the match between Ma Chenyang and Jiang Jiandong.

Jiang Jiandong can be regarded as an old acquaintance of the two.

I own a high-end furniture store, but I have no bad habits. I just like singing and playing billiards. The style of the game is very elegant and free.

Although the level is not bad, he is usually busy with business and seldom participates in billiards competitions. This time he stumbled and won two players. As soon as he got a feeling, he played against Ma Chenyang, the favorite to win this competition.

While the concentration and stability of professional players opened Jiang Jiandong's eyes, it also brought tremendous pressure.

The ball that is usually easily scored, let alone aiming, even dribbling is a problem.

Yi Qian and Zhang Fei repeatedly shook their heads.

In the end, Jiang Jiandong didn't even perform half of his level, so he was easily defeated by Ma Chenyang.

He also scored the first zero-block score in this competition and was eliminated 0-7 with hatred.

Looking at Yi Gan and Zhang Fei who were watching the battle, Jiang Jiandong was so ashamed that he went out with his head down without even saying hello.

"This is the cruelty of the game!" Zhang Fei couldn't help sighing,

Hearing this, Ma Chenyang couldn't help but recall the past.

Maybe he also came here like this, Yi Qian thought, the formation of every professional player means the elimination of countless fellow travelers.

"The next round of competition will start on time at 6:[-] p.m. Please be there on time, as late arrivals will result in a loss."

Liu Yun continued to announce the schedule.

Yi Gan glanced at his phone, and it was only 5 o'clock, so he asked Zhang Fei to go out for dinner together.

"Eat early, eat well at noon, and eat less in the afternoon." Yi Qian has heard this health-preserving secret since he was a child, and thinks it is quite scientific.

The two simply found a porridge shop, ordered a few light vegetables, paired with some fruits, and drank a bowl of porridge each.

The porridge shop was not far from the ball room, and the two walked back slowly.

Yi Gan was the first to raise concerns, "You will face Ma Chenyang in the next round, are you sure?"

Zhang Fei showed no fear on his face, "Our strength is definitely far behind others, but this is a handicap system. I think there is still a chance for the latter two conditions."

"I'm afraid that they are good at tee shots. You haven't had a chance to use your phone. After all, you haven't practiced tee shots. They must be better than you at professional tee shots."

Yi Qian still felt that Zhang Fei was a little optimistic.

But now, it's too late for surprise practice, so I can only pray that I will be lucky on the spot, and I will drive in, and Ma Chenyang will not be able to drive in.

The two returned to the ball room, drank a cup of tea, and it was time for the game to officially start.

Liu Yun appeared between No. 1 TV station and No. 2 TV station with a microphone, and announced.

"Now the semi-finals of the first "Junjue Billiards Cup" Xiongguan Chinese Eight-Ball Handicap Tournament officially begins."

"TV Station No. 1: Ma Chenyang vs. Zhang Fei, Ma Chenyang's professional file, Zhang Fei's S file, Ma Chenyang gives Zhang Fei the second place."

"V station No. 2: Zhao Shibin vs. Yi Qian, Zhao Shibin's S file, Yi Gan's S file, both sides fight."

This time, Ma Chenyang's match against Zhang Fei paid more attention than Yi Gan's table. The opponent arranged for the No. 1 TV station, and the two live broadcast mobile phones broadcasted the live broadcast at the same time. Almost all the golfers came to watch.

There are only a few spectators on Yigan's side.

And they all looked optimistic about Zhao Shibin's victory and the appearance of fighting Ma Chenyang again.

Yi Gan was not angry, but decided to make a quick decision, and then went to help Zhang Fei.

Just as Yi Gan was about to guess the punch, Zhao Shibin waved his hand, "Xiao Yi, go ahead."

Just as Yi Gan was about to speak, he saw that Zhao Shibin ignored him and had already sat down.

I had no choice but to shut up and tee off honestly.

There was a goal at the kick-off, Zhao Shibin opened his eyes and took a look at the game, and silently began to rub chocolate on the cue.

Yi Qian also had some troubles with the game. The white ball was stuck in the bottom bank, making it difficult to shoot.

The target balls that can be seen are basically far away, and the angles are too large, which is not easy to hit.

Zhao Shibin couldn't wait for Yi Qian to make a mistake, and he was about to go on the court to win the situation.

Unexpectedly, Yi Gan pondered for a moment, his eyes were full of confidence, and he scored a difficult ball on the far table with a super accurate shot!
The chocolate in Zhao Shibin's hand fell to the ground, and his mouth seemed to be unable to close.

The onlookers Wang Guoyun also seemed to be struck by lightning, with stars in his eyes.

"This is so accurate!" Zhao Shibin and Wang Guoyun thought at the same time.

Yi Qian continued to hit the ball with the appearance of a peerless master.

But secretly laughing in his heart.

It turned out that in order to frighten his opponents and win the game quickly, he used a prop [Precise Aiming Adjuster] for this shot. Although it only increased the accuracy by 20%, it also gave Yi Gan enough confidence. The basic skills brought by the ball finally scored it steadily.

Yi Qian's strategy worked immediately, and Zhao Shibin felt that his confidence in winning was greatly shaken by this ball.

When he was watching the match between Wang Dongde and Yi Gan, he just wanted to see how his future opponent Wang Dongde was doing.

I didn't expect to see Wang Dongde lose unexpectedly.

But at the time, he thought it was Wang Dongde's carelessness, and Yi Gan had a good kick-off luck, so he picked up a set victory.

He felt that Yi Gan's real strength was still far from his own, Wang Dongde's, and Zhang Fei's level.

Unexpectedly, judging from this shot, Yi Gan is a bad comer and has something in his hand.

The accuracy of one stroke also brought confidence to Yi Qian. The rest of the balls were not difficult, and Yi Qian easily cleared the table.

Score 1:0
Zhao Shibin also expressed his admiration for the accuracy of this shot, and expressed his appreciation by lightly hitting the table with the club.

The opponent's politeness could not bring him victory, and Yi Gan did not soften his heart at all, and exerted his full strength.

An hour later, Yi Gan shook hands with Zhao Shibin politely.

Zhao Shibin was already in a trance and began to doubt himself.

"Am I really old? I have no power to fight back."

The scoreboard next to the sofa reads "7:0"

The red 7 representing Yi Gan's side seemed to be mocking Zhao Shibin.

Although Yi Gan did not use tee props and could not score a goal in every round, he also hit a 3-stroke tee off to clear the table.

In addition, Zhao Shibin was overwhelmed by Yi Gan's preparations when he came up, and the 3-stroke clearance also brought tremendous pressure to Zhao Shibin.

Yiqian won the remaining 4 rounds with a good idea of ​​clearing the table and good stability, and Zhao Shibin was zero-blocked.

Zhao Shibin was still muttering to himself, Wang Guoyun couldn't stand it anymore, so he came to comfort Zhao Shibin and gave Yi Gan a look.

It seems that he is a bit complaining about Yi Gan, not giving Zhao Shibin face, even if he loses a round symbolically, it will look good in face.

Yi Gan smiled wryly in his heart. Competitive sports are not a game of play. There are only cruel victories or losses.

But these truths, ordinary lovers in a small place like Xiongguan City, who have not experienced the tempering of their minds and confronted with countless failures, how can they understand?

Yi Qian didn't understand these truths when he participated in countless competitions and was abused when he was studying in Qinchuan Province and working in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provinces.

Yi Gan gave Zhao Shibin an apologetic look, and passed by.

He looked at Zhang Fei's progress.

The scoreboard that came into view recorded the score between Zhang Fei and Ma Chenyang, "5:5", Zhang Fei and Ma Chenyang actually tied!
