He had a perfect posture, perfect control of strength and perfect spacial awareness. Gao Yuan portrayed all of these perfectly.
After five minutes, Gao Yuan won the second round easily.
Gao Yuan was extremely proud when he saw the shocked looks on the onlookers' faces.
Nobody knew that Gao Yuan had been practicing pool since he was in middle school. If basketball was said to be his hobby, then pool was a sport that he was the best at. He had won the champion title in the youth pool games of Qing Cheng when he was in high school year one.
Although he stopped playing after starting year three, it was still easy to beat a non-professional like Lin Ping.
Brother Dog smiled as he stood along with the other gang members.
"Hahaha, Crew Cut, seems like you are going to lose."
The third round began with Lin Ping sweating profusely.
Although Lin Ping was extremely cautious and had tried his best, he still lost after ten minutes.
When Gao Yuan finished his last ball, Lin Ping was only on his fourth ball.
Lin Ping wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and began the fourth round with his hands trembling.
The outcome was… He lost again!
Lin Ping shook and nearly fell and sat on the chair.
How to win?
The Husky Gang had already won three rounds, but the Crew Cut Gang only won one round.
Moreover, with an expert like Gao Yuan, it would be nearly impossible to win three more rounds consecutively.
When Cheng Nuo witnessed the situation, he realized that it was bad.
He did not expect Gao Yuan's pool skills to be so good. It had way exceeded Cheng Nuo's expectations.
Cheng Nuo did not want to lose the competition and allow the "skinny guy" to beat him without any reason.
"Sigh! It seems like I still have to save the world in the end!"
"Brother Crew Cut, so what, are you guys admitting defeat? Or admitting defeat?" Brother Dog sneered as he walked to Lin Ping.
Lin Ping gritted his teeth angrily. "Brother Dog, don't be too arrogant!"
Although Lin Ping seemed very confident with his words, he was not confident at all. He knew that it was impossible to defeat Gao Yuan with his ability.
At this moment, a soft voice was heard beside Lin Ping.
"Big Brother Crew Cut, can I try?"
Cheng Nuo looked at Lin Ping calmly.
"You?"
"Yes, me!"
Lin Ping's eyes lit up when he felt Cheng Nuo's extremely confident aura.
Could it be that… this guy is a god at pool too?
With Gao Yuan as a prior example, Lin Ping thought that Cheng Nuo could be a hidden expert too.
"Sure, your turn!"
Lin Ping was extremely happy and passed his cue stick to Cheng Nuo while smiling.
He patted Cheng Nuo's shoulder. "Brother, we are depending on you!"
"Please send the two representatives up on stage!"
The moustached man said.
When Gao Yuan saw Cheng Nuo enter the stage with the cue stick, he was shocked too.
"Did this guy also hide his skills in this game?" Gao Yuan frowned. Similar to Lin Ping, Gao Yuan thought that Cheng Nuo was someone who had hidden his skills.
When he thought about that, Gao Yuan's expression as he looked at Cheng Nuo became serious.
Apart from Lin Ping and Gao Yuan, the few players around them also looked at Cheng Nuo curiously. They thought that he was an expert at pool too.
"The generations are getting better! When we were his age, pool had just been introduced."
"You're right. I can't believe I can witness a match between two youths today, It's worth it!"
As the public commented, Cheng Nuo walked to the table with the cue stick in his hand. He was extremely confident.
Cheng Nuo looked around slowly and his gaze fell upon Lin Ping.
After about five seconds, Cheng Nuo scratched his head and smiled. "Er… Brother Ping, can you tell me the rules of pool?"
The audience looked at Cheng Nuo in horror.
Lin Ping was stunned for a few seconds.
"Hey, hey, hey, if you don't know how to play pool, why are you pretending to be so confident?! Are you trying to stir things up?!"
Lin Ping covered his forehead and sighed.
"Sigh, forget it, we will try it as the last resort!"
Based on the rules, one could not change the player representative after the match began. Therefore, the Crew Cut Gang had to choose to either admit defeat or ask Cheng Nuo, the unreliable guy, to play for them.
Lin Ping was extremely angry and told Cheng Nuo the rules of the game.
Anyway, he had no hope of winning. Even he himself, as an expert for non-professionals, could not defeat Gao Yuan. If Cheng Nuo, who did not even know the rules of the game, went… Sigh, he just hoped that they would not lose very terribly.
Cheng Nuo really did not know the rules of the game. After all, he had no reason to play it.
After Lin Ping's explanation, Cheng Nuo completely understood the rules. To put it simply, there was a main ball (white) and target balls 1 to 15. Balls 1 to 7 were solid-colored balls, ball 8 was a black ball, and balls 9 to 15 were striped balls.
Both players would choose a type of ball (solid-colored or striped) as their target balls. After potting all the balls, the player who potted the black ball would win. If any player accidentally potted the black ball before finishing the other target balls, the other party would win.
"Alright, I understand the rules. Let's go!" Cheng Nuo waved his hands and looked extremely confident again.
The spectators were speechless…
Gao Yuan grinned from ear to ear. He leaned against the table and sneered.
Initially, Gao Yuan was slightly worried. However, he was extremely calm now.
Since Cheng Nuo was a novice who did not even know about the rules of pool, Gao Yuan, as a "god of pool", would definitely make fun of him..
"I will take revenge for what you did to me this afternoon at the basketball court! Cheng Nuo, just wait!"
…
Under the witness of Uncle Qiang, the fifth match between the Crew Cut Gang and the Husky Gang began.
Gao Yuan, who was already considered a half-professional, versus the novice, Cheng Nuo!
"Lin Hu, do you think we will win?" Hao Shuai asked Lin Hu worriedly.
"What do you think? Let's get ready to be beaten up!" Lin Hu shrugged.
"No way…" Hao Shuai's face immediately turned sulky.
