When night fell, Yin Guo teamed up with Lin Lin and Liu Xiran to win the 9-ball team, the strongest Chinese women's sport.
This is also the fifth gold medal. So far, the gold medal list has firmly ranked first.
The moment the three of them won the championship, they were so excited that they couldn't contain themselves.
Not only for myself, but also because of this gold medal, it relieved part of the pressure for the men's team snooker.
When everyone was having dinner backstage, Yin Guo took advantage of the short meal time to sit beside Lin Yiyang and feed him a few mouthfuls. Lin Yiyang smiled, took the fork away, and said in a low voice, "It's not all useless, you can eat it."
She touched the back of his hand and said nothing.
Because all the matches were over, many of the team members began to surf the Internet for news.
Look at the competition news of other sports, cheer up, look at your own sports, and be proud. Although the Asian Games is no longer a much-watched event, it is an important competition for athletes.
Everyone saw the negative comments on the Internet, and they didn't communicate with each other, and there was no language exchange at all, fearing that it would reach the ears of the three snooker players who hadn't played yet.
But they are all on fire.
Since the beginning of abandoning the game, there have been bad remarks—
"I've only been playing for more than a year, so how can I have an old injury? Are you talking nonsense, afraid of losing?"
"I think so too. Retiring sounds much better than losing."
"He played in the United States last year, and he didn't look down on the Chinese game at all. Who knows why he came back?"
"He has a lot of endorsements in the United States, and he has long been a commercial player. He came back because the Chinese market is huge, he is famous, and he earns more from endorsements."
"Athletes have lost their original intentions and only think about making money."
…
Lin Yiyang lowered his head, put the lunch box on his lap, and took two bites.
He is too tall to eat with his head down.
"Help me move a chair." He rarely showed weakness and asked her for help.
Yin Guo pulled the chair over for him and helped him put the lunch box on it.
Lin Yiyang ate very fast all the time, and after a while, after eating, seeing Yin Guo was in a daze, thinking that she was just worried about herself, and stroked her hair: "Aren't you happy that you took one gold and one silver?"
Yin Guo deliberately changed the subject: "Where do you want to go after the game? I invite you to go."
He smiled and didn't answer.
The two looked at each other.
"Let's talk after the game," he said finally.
Handing the lunch box and fork to Yin Guo, he picked up the water glass and took two sips of water to moisten his throat.
Tonight's billiards hall will usher in the last game, which is the last billiards game of this Asian Games, and it is the most watched snooker men's team event.
Next to the arena, there are three chairs and small tea tables on both sides, which are used to put water glasses.
As soon as Lin Yiyang entered the field, he and the Indian captain went to the referee to check the order of appearance.
A total of 12 rounds - 9 rounds of singles, 3 rounds of doubles.
In singles, everyone has to play 3 rounds and face three opponents respectively.
In doubles, everyone has to play 2 games.
A person has to play 5 rounds.
First round of singles.
Lin Yiyang was the first to play, and he knew that this should be his best game tonight, and he had to make a quick decision. So in one go, it took only 12 minutes to score the first point.
Jiang Yang ran into the strongest captain of the opponent and lost the round.
Meng Xiaodong had just won the gold medal, and the opponent happened to be the same opponent he met in the semi-finals. With experience in dealing with it, he naturally got twice the result with half the effort and scored the second point.
The score at the end of this round was 2:1, and the Chinese team took the lead temporarily.
Doubles in the second round.
Lin Yiyang and Jiang Yang partnered, a pair of injured and sick patients, so naturally they couldn't bargain, and it was no surprise that they lost.
The score returned to 2:2, a draw.
"Bite tightly," Jiang Yang returned to his seat, and concluded calmly, "It's a waste of time."
"The most useless combination has been used up, it doesn't matter," Meng Xiaodong said, "it will only be better in the future."
Although Jiang Yang thought so too, he was obviously hit by "the most wasteful" and glanced at Meng Xiaodong. It's really rare for this kid to catch the opportunity to ridicule, and he made good use of it.
Second round of singles.
Jiang Yang played and won by 1 point.
Lin Yiyang fought fiercely to the middle, obviously struggling and lost.
Meng Xiaodong was in poor form and lost.
With a score of 3:4, the Chinese team was at a disadvantage.
Lin Yiyang knew that after two quick fights, he was about to retire from the main stage... He devoted almost all his energy to the two rounds of singles.
In the second round of the doubles match, Jiang Yang and Meng Xiaodong partnered.
Ten minutes before playing, Meng Xiaodong left his seat and walked to the rest area of the Chinese team to temporarily relieve his mood. He knew that the next two double matches would all depend on himself...
Meng Xiaodong saw Lin Lin. After watching for a while, I turned back again.
Second round of doubles.
Meng Xiaodong partnered with Jiang Yang, Meng Xiaodong regained his form, led Jiang Yang to fight steadily, and assisted Meng Xiaodong in attacking again and again.
In the end, the double match took 37 minutes and finally allowed the Chinese team to win by 1 point.
The score continues to be stalemate - 4:4
Jiang Yang suddenly looked at Lin Yiyang: "How many months will it take for you to finish playing today?" The next open match will definitely be a failure.
Lin Yiyang glanced at Jiang Yang, but said nothing.
Jiang Yang said to Meng Xiaodong again: "Hurry up, take advantage of the setback and miss the game, and push his points to the end."
Meng Xiaodong also looked at Jiang Yang, not wanting to say anything.
…
The third round of singles.
Meng Xiaodong lashed out at the opponent as soon as he entered the court, and won with 118 points in a single stroke in the most exciting round of the night.
The score became 5:4.
And Jiang Yang also played the toughest style of play, and won the longest round tonight. It took 51 minutes.
The last round of solo...
Lin Yiyang sat on the bench for the entire game and got the worst score of the night... 0 points.
In fact, it was God's favor. Lin Yiyang was the strongest opponent in the end, and he had no chance to win in his current state.
It might as well sit on the bench and recharge your batteries.
"The competitive spirit is good," Lin Yiyang commented, "Knowing that I was the one in the final doubles, this round didn't let me touch the pole."
"Of course you can't fake the match," Jiang Yang said smoothly, "He is in good condition, and you are lucky."
This he admits.
Lin Yiyang always knew that he was lucky, especially in the past two years, maybe he really deserved his name, first suppressed and then raised.
All single-player matches ended with a score of 6:5.
It can be said that it was the most embarrassing night for the three of them in their lives. After so much effort, they only led by 1 point.
A win in the last game is considered a win, and a loss is a draw.
There is still a playoff...
Meng Xiaodong seemed to calmly pick up the glass and drink water.
"It's empty," Jiang Yang reminded, and he gave Meng Xiaodong some of his own water.
Meng Xiaodong looked at the water in his glass, feeling overwhelmed with cleanliness, struggled for more than ten seconds before putting down the glass.
With a complicated look on his face, Jiang Yang watched as Meng Xiaodong took the cue first and walked to the table. Lin Yiyang wore a vest throughout the match. After all, for the Snooker Association, the dress code is extremely high.
It doesn't matter if you take off your vest and play 10 goals in the afternoon, but you should dress neatly to play snooker tonight.
Holding the club in his left hand, Lin Yiyang walked up to Meng Xiaodong.
"This game must be won," Meng Xiaodong said, "You and Jiang Yang can't afford an extra match."
Lin Yiyang didn't speak, but he understood.
It is a miracle that the two injuries have survived until now, and an extra game is tantamount to losing.
The kick-off right belongs to China.
Lin Yiyang and Meng Xiaodong passed by each other and gave Meng Xiaodong the batting position.
The main attack depends on Meng Xiaodong. He needs to find the right opportunity to play snooker for the opponent and let the opponent score points.
Of course, this requires Meng Xiaodong to cooperate, but the two have never played doubles, nor have they fought side by side. They have always been rivals... Lin Yiyang glanced at Meng Xiaodong who was already leaning over to hit the ball. The best opponent is the best partner.
The red balls on the table were scattered and scattered.
Yin Guo, who was on the sidelines of the game, looked up at the live broadcast.
Lin Yiyang is really good at snooker, and when he catches an opportunity, he makes his opponent take 8 consecutive penalties... She thought of what Lin Yiyang said to herself at the beginning of the training camp, even in a bad state, let the opponent lose.
The start was not good, and after Lin Yiyang let his opponent take a penalty, Meng Xiaodong seized this opportunity and took the initiative together with Lin Yiyang. When things are going well, it's smart to win the race the fastest.
Meng Xiaodong was fine, if he had fought by himself, he would have been defeated long ago.
One person, one stroke, he still needs to lead Lin Yiyang's rhythm.
No one could see that Lin Yiyang's shirt inside his vest was soaked through on his chest and back.
Mainly pain.
He took away Meng Xiaodong's most signature move, his brows were always frowning, and there were still 3 red balls left on the table, and he was holding on entirely by perseverance. By the time all the colored balls were left and victory was in sight, it could already be clearly seen from the live broadcast that sweat was dripping down the side of his face and neck...
The finger is empty, and there are three balls.
The penultimate one was Lin Yiyang's ball. Jiang Yang was sitting on a stool holding a glass, Meng Xiaodong was standing on Lin Yiyang's right, and the two held their breaths at the same time.
It's difficult, but it's usually not a problem for him...
Lin Yiyang shot out slowly, staring at his club head hitting the white ball. The white ball hit the pink ball leaning on the bank of the ball, and both balls were slowly rolling towards the bottom pocket.
During the day, he can still judge that this ball is something to play with? Still out of action
Now after hitting the shot, there was no score, until the pink ball fell, and applause sounded around him, he finally stood up straight, holding the club with his hands, and smiled.
In the end, Meng Xiaodong received the black ball.
In the middle of the night, the Chinese team finally sealed the victory in the final round of doubles.
The moment the black ball fell into the bag, applause shook the audience.
This men's team gold medal was hard-won. Compared with the women's team's sweeping posture, this round is simply a healthy Meng Xiaodong, holding a brother with one hand and supporting the audience.
In the state of double injuries, he lasted a full 12 rounds, and finally won the last gold medal in this venue!
It is also the last gold medal of the Chinese billiards team this year!
…
He hasn't had a chance to see the cynicism about the retirement outside the field.
There are only applauding audiences in front of you, applause in your ears, and excited speeches and conclusions from the commentators...
After the high tension, Lin Yiyang's left hand couldn't bear it at all, and so did his leg. He slowly rubbed the sweat off his face, but unexpectedly his hands were full of water... It was like going to the diving team.
He raised his head, leaned on Jiang Yang's shoulder, closed his eyes, and laughed listening to the applause: "Can the two of you accept the award... I really can't walk anymore."
The author has something to say: …

The men's team gold medal in the last Asian Games is also ours.
…
Regarding Lin Yiyang's 9-ball gold medal, everyone thought it was ideal, so they won it suddenly (9 and 8 are interlinked, so I put them together)
The first half wrote these information separately: Lin Yiyang has a Washington ball room, he is a coach, plays every day, teaches others to play, and once coached a regional champion (given him ysl white short sleeves), and made it public for the first time in Yinguo In the competition, his male students reached the quarter-finals, which is his achievement as a coach. In his ball room, regional champions often come to provoke him, and if there is nothing wrong, he will make the regional champions kneel down. Playing against Yin Guo for the first time, it also made the regional champion kneel directly.
These are the upper part of his three years in the United States.
He has always been at the peak of 9 goals, has never been lower, and directly killed Yin Guo in practice (Yin Guo is the third in the women's world, silver medal in the US Open last year, and gold medal this year).
All of the above are written in the text.
So there is no returning to the country to return to the peak. He is the coach, and he has brought out very good students, so he doesn't need to find someone to guide him.
I hope 9 balls make it clear.
In snooker, his first champion was the Chinese champion. Last year, he adapted to the game for a year, and his points were always lower than Meng Xiaodong and Jiang Yang. It was written in the article that he was only in the top 16. But this year, he came back to find his status again, and returned to the same status as Meng Xiaodong and Jiang Yang.
How similar is snooker to 9-ball? Snooker players are good at playing 9-ball. 9-ball players can temporarily switch to snooker for the Asian Games and win gold medals. Both programs have examples of players switching to each other. Since he has not left the 9-court, he has been in the state.
Hope Snooker understands that too.
