hole in one

At this time, although there are still two red balls on the table, even if they all score black balls, the total is only 35 points. Counting Wang Nan's 22 points, that is to say, he can score 57 points at most , and Burrows has already scored 72 points. Generally speaking, when the game reaches this level, it is over.

Of course, the lagging party can also be relentless, but doing this kind of thing well is called perseverance, but in most cases, it is just messing around.Snooker is known as a gentleman's sport. No matter what your heart is, you have to make a show on the field. Even if you are as weird as Burrows, on this occasion, you only wear a green vest, not a real green hat.

Wang Nan didn't admit that he was [-] points behind. This behavior is really a bit like playing tricks.But Wang Nan knew that he couldn't admit it. He had already played sixteen rounds, and there were still nine rounds to go.Before that, his longest match record was the first round of the World Championships, but that was only eighteen rounds, and he didn't have the slightest experience in games with more than twenty rounds.

Of course, he didn't think he couldn't play, or didn't have confidence, but he knew that the longer the number of rounds was delayed, the more unfavorable it would be for him.

Before the game, perhaps to relieve him of stress, Zhou Yuan, who has always been serious, said to him: "Nanzi, your opponent this time is very interesting, maybe you will find that you are fighting a layman when you play. At that time, don't be soft-hearted, and must win in one fell swoop! Don't let the Bondi tragedy happen!"

This Bondi tragedy spread quickly in the snooker world. As snooker No.1, Bondi has always created tragedies for others.He has played anything like ten to zero. When he is in his state, it is like a river of blood and wailing.

And this tragedy occurred in the final of the World Championships six years ago. The two sides of that game were Bondy and Burrows.

Before that game, Burrows' name was not as famous as it is now. Although he has been playing well all the time and his ranking is relatively high, but because of his unflattering state of attacking evil and his immature The style of play—at that time, his weird style, just no style.

In short, Burrows at that time was a figure ignored by the snooker world.But in that year, he reached the finals in one fell swoop, with a sharp style of play, and even the top five players in the world such as Carroll and Oman.He was in the limelight for a while, shaking the entire snooker world, saying that he was a late bloomer, and that he was the most new type of talent that surpassed Bundy and kept pace with him.

And that game was also hotly fired.Because he and Bundy were both born in Manchester, it is said to be a Manchester derby.When the two were about to meet, everyone thought it would be a turbulent and peerless battle.

... Well, the fact is indeed the case, but it is somewhat different from everyone's imagination.

In the first round of the game, Burrows shot a 147!That was the first time 147 appeared in a snooker final. The audience watching the game was so excited that they almost had a heart attack. In front of the TV, I don't know how many people were screaming.

Burrows was only 22 years old at the time, and his appearance was a little immature. Wearing a black shirt, he was really handsome and powerful.But after that 147, maybe because he was too excited, he twitched for the first time in front of millions of British viewers-he had twitches in the past, but the TV broadcast in the early years was not as developed as it is now, no For heavyweight figures, the TV station will not waste channels casually.Therefore, although his twitches are well-known in the circle, ordinary audiences really don't know about them.

At that time, some viewers in front of the TV were worried about this, because they saw him committing smoking and continued the game, and even called the TV station to protest. Rose's mouth is crooked, it seems to be a kind of professional, it was like this when he first debuted, after examination, there is no problem with his body."

Although the commentator said so, everyone still didn't believe it, because Burrows' performance was so different from just now.In the first game, he was sharp and unparalleled, but now, he was like a novice who hadn't started yet.

"It must be sick!"

"Too inhumane!"

"The organizers of the World Championships are bastards!"

"Burrows, you are a hero!"

……

Not only did the audience who didn't know the truth think that Burrows was enduring great pain for the game, but even Bundy was a little disturbed by his state, and he failed to seize the opportunity, allowing Burrows to win two rounds as a novice , It wasn't until the fourth game that he realized it, and then he played a thirteen to three in one breath!

This is the final of the World Championships. This is a game with 35 extremely long rounds, so this game is not one day, but three days!

The first day, two stages, sixteen innings;

The second day, eight innings;

On the third day, eleven innings.

Of course, after the number thirteen to three appeared, everyone felt that the game would end the next day.And the truth was exactly as they thought at the beginning. On the second day, Bundy won four rounds in one go. At this time, it was already [-] to [-]!

Bundy has already won the match point, just one more game, and he will win, and his fans have begun to celebrate in advance.But at this point, Burrows was smoking again...or he wasn't smoking.In the rest of the game, he did not allow Bundy to win another game.

With his mouth crooked and his eyes squinting like that, he played game after game, and even gave Bundy a score of fifteen to zero!Then in the fifth game of No.30, he won the championship.

Shocking reversal!

Carol has always been good at reversals, but he has never been so reversed. Everyone was shocked by this situation.It is also because this incident happened too far away, and at that time in China, not many people cared about snooker, otherwise they would definitely give such a comment: "I guessed the result, but failed to guess the process."

Afterwards, some people commented that if Bundy hadn't been led by Burrows to lose the two games at the beginning, he would not have been reversed.But there is no if, that is, in that game, Burrows made his name, and since then, he has gone further and further on this road, but everyone has learned from Bundy's lesson, and he has never made a foul when he draws. show mercy.

It's just the Bondi tragedy, but these four words have left a deep impression on everyone's minds.And its meaning, like many words in the world, has slowly become different over time. At first it meant being reversed, but now it is Burrows' draw.

Before the game, many people told Wang Nan that Burrows might draw, but Wang Nan never had the habit of betting on the opponent's mistakes in a game.Yes, Burrows smokes like a novice.But what if he doesn't smoke?

Therefore, he must try his best to fight for every opportunity, fifteen points, it is very difficult to reverse, but how will you know if you don't try, especially when the opportunity is so good!

With a snap, Wang Nan hit the cue ball, and the cue ball popped out. After rubbing against the red ball, it began to roll forward along the bank. That posture was actually running along the mouth of the top pocket, and there was a tendency to dive headfirst into it.

Zhang Jerry blinked his eyes: "Could it be that Burrows stopped smoking today and infected Nanzi?"

As he thought about it, there was an exclamation from his side. He fixed his eyes and saw that the cue ball stopped at the mouth of the bag, and there was another green ball in front of it.

what happened?Why did he undergo such a big change as soon as he lost his mind?

"This is snooker! A determined snooker!" Shen Feng became excited, "Let's take another look at this ball!"

The camera replays, the white ball touches the red ball and starts to roll forward, when it rolls to the top, touches the green ball, then rolls forward with the green ball, finally, the cue ball comes to the mouth of the pocket first , and the green ball came right away, and it felt like it touched the cue ball at the mouth of the pocket. Although it failed to form a sticky ball, it formed a snooker tightly, and it was a snooker with almost no room for display. Snooker!

"Exquisite! Exquisite! Just when we thought the game was about to end, when we thought that Burrows was going to gain an absolute advantage, when we thought... that it might be irretrievable, Wang Nan stood up, With my own skills, say no to Burrows and this world championship!"

If it wasn't for the wrong time, Zhang Xitian really wanted to say something to Shen Feng: "You must have watched too much news broadcast."

No matter what Shen Feng said, Burrows was indeed in a difficult situation right now. With his legs apart and his chin resting on his left hand, he had been standing in front of the table for 3 minutes.During these 3 minutes, he hasn't changed in any way. If it weren't for the blink of his thick eyelashes from time to time, he would almost be mistaken for petrification.

Then, in the 4th minute, he finally moved. He walked over, climbed on the table, carefully aimed, and slowly launched a shot. The cue ball smoothly rolled around the green ball and rolled towards the opposite side. Then, When it hit the shore, it stopped there.

Use less power!

The referee came over to reposition the ball, he placed a position, Burrows waved to him, and then nodded with the cue, the referee glanced at him, saw him nod, and then let go.

"Sure enough, these 3 minutes were not wasted." Shen Feng sighed, "He remembers the position of the ball better than the referee. Well, because the ball just now was not solved, now it is eleven points."

Burrows still dragged his chin in thought, his posture and position did not change at all, but this time, he only spent 2 minutes.He bent down again and hit the cue ball according to the previous route. This time, it was stronger and the rebounding power was also very good. However, he brushed past the red ball—the red ball remained motionless.

"Seven points! Seven points! Only seven points!"

The audience in front of the TV was also shocked, can a miracle be staged?

The referee placed the ball for the second time. With previous experience, he made no mistakes this time. Burrows stared at the ball without moving, and after half a minute of staring at it, he took action.The audience at the scene held their breath. If he still can't solve it this time, then the gap with Wang Nan will only be three points!

Three points, one snooker can save it!

Li Liang clenched his fist secretly, can't solve it, can't solve it, can't solve it!

Although this is the last time he watched Wang Nan's game, he also hopes that Wang Nan can go further.

"Can't solve, can't solve, if you can solve such a ball..."

Fang Wenzhuo was muttering to himself in front of the TV, and just when he was trying to find another powerful reference, Burrows shot, the same route, the same roll, but this time it was more accurate. To the red ball, a round of applause!

Even if there are all Wang Nan's supporters at the scene, they still have to praise such a solution.Burrows ticked the corner of his mouth, and just when everyone thought he was going to smoke, he returned to normal, and everyone knew that his tick was a smile.

"Although the ball was solved, it also gave Nanzi a chance, but Nanzi may not be able to hit this red ball."

This is indeed the case. Wang Nan looked left and right, bent down, and hit a shot. The cue ball rolled forward, hung the red ball for a while, then hit the shore and bounced, and ran along the shore again. Everyone cheered. Big mouth, this ball, this ball...

"Fuck! Isn't this ball the same as before!" Someone patted his thigh in front of the TV.

It is indeed the same, except that last time it was hidden behind the green ball, but this time, it was hidden behind the yellow ball.

Even more enthusiastic applause, that snooker, it might be a bit of luck to be able to do it once, to do it twice...Of course, there is still luck, but the element of luck is too little.This is technique, this is strategy, and this is courage—if you don’t do well in this kind of snooker, you will be punished. If the cue ball falls into the pocket, all the efforts you have made just now will be in vain.

Burrows also widened his eyes. After the cue ball stopped for a long time, he glanced at Wang Nan, who smiled at him.He was startled for a moment, then his eyes began to blink rapidly, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"coming!"

"here we go!"

"It's not a smile! It's not!"

Shen Feng, Zhang Xitian, Zhang Jerry and others came together in high spirits, the spotlights of the reporters flickered, and Shen Feng shouted repeatedly in the microphone: "This is not a disease, this is not a disease, this is Burrows' professional habit! "

Burrows blinked and twitched his mouth, standing there like a child, after a while he looked at Wang Nan: "You can't do this."

Wang Nan looked at him innocently.

"It's not right for you to do this."

Burrows spoke slowly, Wang Nan blinked and said in English, "Sorry, I don't understand English."

The corners of Burrows' mouth twitched even more: "You, you..."

Wang Nan looked at the referee, and the referee said, "Mr. Burrows, please pay attention to your table."

Burrows gave him an aggrieved look, and then began to stare at the table with his mouth covered. This time, he watched for a full five minutes.When he bent down, Shen Feng said: "This ball is difficult, but for Burrows, it may not be particularly difficult."

"Because he just hit a ball that is almost exactly the same. Of course, the position of the red ball is a little different, but the key to the difficulty of this ball is how the cue ball circles out of the yellow ball."

When they said this, the cue ball came out, and then went straight to the opposite pocket, and finally dropped the pocket amidst everyone's surprise!

……

silence!There was a moment of silence in the stadium, and the audience in front of the TV couldn't believe it for a moment. After a while, some of them gloated and laughed out loud.The scene, however, has maintained a strange silence.Everyone, look at me and I look at you. I don't know whether to applaud or just keep silent.

Even Wang Nan was shocked by this result. He looked at Burrows in disbelief, and Burrows was also looking at him with angry and wronged eyes, which made Wang Nan feel a little guilty. He touched his nose and looked at him Laughed a bit.Burrows curled his lips. The reason why he curled his lips this time is because he only moved one corner of his mouth just now, but this time, it became two!

"Three points!"

Finally, there was the first person to applaud, and led by him, there was a lot of applause. Although Burrows was still in the lead, at this moment, it seemed that Wang Nan had already left Burrows by two blocks.The referee put the cue ball in place again, looking at his expression while swaying, Burrows nodded his head straight, and then walked over as soon as the referee left.

Pa, the cue ball circled the yellow ball like a whirlwind, hit the bank and headed straight for the red ball, then crashed into it neatly, and the red ball rolled forward. The mouth of the bag is gone.

"No way..."

Some people exclaimed like this, and Wang Nan's eyes widened. Although he felt a little unbelievable, things were indeed developing in the direction that everyone thought was impossible. The red ball just kept moving forward, gurgling, and fell into the bag!

"This ball can be scored, really... Hey, look at the white ball! White ball!" Shen Feng was about to say something to comfort everyone, when he found that the white ball was also moving towards the hole. It moved slowly, then firmly, and finally, just like that It fell down with a plop.

There was an uproar.

In just half a minute, everyone experienced the whole process from joy to surprise, and from surprise to joy. A group of people didn't know what to do except clap their hands.Just like someone said on the forum: "Really, when that cue ball also fell into it, my heart was full of unbearable, I always felt that Burrows like this is so pitiful, it's fine if he is sick, and so is luck." not good."

"He's not sick."

"It's not because he's sick, why does he smoke?"

This rhetorical question has won the approval of everyone. No matter how the media describes it, or what the medicine says, ordinary viewers have a simple materialistic view. This kind of twitching that has affected the nerves of the face is definitely sick. , so no one paid attention to it. In those tall buildings, one person made a somewhat lonely comment: "Sometimes, smoking, that is a kind of inherent loneliness."

Since he is born lonely, it is not easy to find resonance. Liu Tian watched his post being quickly covered up, and then sighed in frustration, but then he laughed.Soon, Wang Nan's reputation is getting bigger and bigger, and it's almost enough to help him.

At this time, the referee had already put the cue ball back to its original position, and Burrows bent down again. This time, he finally managed to get the ball, but it was useless. Wang Nan seized this opportunity , cleared all the balls on the table, and finally won the round with a one-point advantage, and entered the third stage with a score of [-] to [-] and two rounds behind.

Some people sighed with regret at the scene, because the third stage of the competition will be held tomorrow, and now Burrows is obviously very affected. If he just rests for two hours and continues, Wang Nan must take advantage of it, but this is the decision of the organizers Yes, they can only hope that this influence of Burrows will continue until tomorrow.

Perhaps it was because their mental power was too strong. When the competition started on the second day, Burrows did not see the bravery of the first two stages at all. The novice's mistakes were made to the fullest. Wang Nan learned from Bondi's lesson and did not dare to be soft-hearted, and won in one fell swoop. In four rounds, he successfully overtook. At this time, he already had eleven rounds, and with one more round, he would get the match point.

In the No.20 game, Wang Nan teeed off. He used a conservative shot. Although Burrows is not in shape now, the more he is like this, the more stable he is. He ran to the top with two cue balls and succeeded. Hiding behind the yellow ball, it didn't form a snooker, but it was also blocked by half of the ball.

Burrows stepped forward, and then shook his head. His eyelids stopped twitching today, but the corners of his mouth were still curled up.Last night, the one who broke his mouth described him like this: "I finally know why Bundy lost back then. I was scared!"

Although he is handsome, the twitching of the corners of his mouth really ruins his image. If Wang Nan hadn't been prepared, he might be affected too.He watched Burrows bend down, but he didn't feel much, and at this moment, Burrows made a shot.

The cue ball circled around the yellow ball and hit a red ball below which was opened by Wang Nan. The red ball ran to the bottom bank on the right. When the cue ball hit the bottom bank, the red ball also fell into the bag!

"Beautiful!" Even Shen Feng couldn't help but give such a compliment, the audience applauded, this goal was scored really beautifully.And after scoring this goal, Burrows seemed to be back in shape, he directly scored a black ball, and when he hit the red ball, he also exploded the pile of balls. took it down.

"Is Burrows going to counterattack?"

"Could it be that Wang Nan's tragedy is going to be staged?"

"Damn it, if you want to smoke, don't smoke to the end!"

... Everyone who knew Burrows' situation became worried. Wang Nan's face in the camera was sinking like water, but his eyes became brighter and brighter.

In the second round of No.20, Burrows started the game. Before the game started, he glanced at Wang Nan, and then he lay down, swung his forearm, and the cue ball drew an arc, hitting a red ball on the right, such a violent impact , Only the red ball that was hit jumped out, the other balls remained motionless, and the cue ball stuck to the pile of red balls.

Stick the ball!
