After losing three consecutive games, the foreigner was a little confused.

"My touch today is really bad. I lost three consecutive games and was almost beaten."

The foreigners are a little unbeliever. They were evenly matched with him yesterday, so why can’t they beat him today!

So the foreigners played several games with Chen Qiang, but in the end they failed in each game.

Before I knew it, the foreigner had lost ten consecutive games!

The foreigner was a little depressed. He still couldn't figure out why he lost so badly today.

"Tom, you have lost several games in a row. You are not his opponent. Come down quickly!" A short foreigner next to him spoke.

The foreigner looked back at the person who was talking and said with anger: "It's just that I'm not in the state today. Yesterday, we were still evenly matched."

"Okay, since you are not in a state, don't stick to it. Let me play two games with this gentleman from the East!" The short foreigner who spoke came over.

Chen Qiang's opponent became this short foreigner.

The short foreigner has good skills and a sharp style of playing. He is the kind of player who is fierce in offensive style.

But he made many mistakes, and the frequent mistakes in the end also ruined him a game.

In the blink of an eye, the short foreigner also lost five consecutive times.

"This oriental man is a master of billiards, and I am not his opponent." After realizing this, the short foreigner gave up the idea of ​​continuing to compete with Chen Qiang, put down the club, and lost.

There are many people in this bar, but there is no place to entertain on the boat. Apart from reading books and going to the casino, they just come to the bar to drink. At this time, someone saw that Chen Qiang defeated the two of them one after another, and they could no longer hold back and immediately stepped forward to compete with Chen Qiang.

In this way, Chen Qiang was not idle and defeated five Americans who played very well in billiards one after another.

...

A Chinese man who played well in billiards appeared on the boat, and the news spread like wildfire.

Americans are quite fond of sports. There are many Americans who can play billiards, and many think they play billiards well.

So when Chen Qiang appeared in the bar again, he welcomed several new challengers.

The strengths of these challengers are also uneven. Some are really powerful. It takes a lot of effort for Chen Qiang to win; some are more frivolous, and fighting with Chen Qiang is a way to give him a head.

After all, billiards are a sport that tests skills. In this sport that tests skills, the concepts and techniques that transcend the times have played a huge role.

Billiards in the future have been commercialized, and billiards have also brought huge benefits to practitioners. There are many people who specialize in billiards. From the center of gravity of clubs to the posture of hitting the ball, there are people who have studied them. In order to study the methods of gripping, some people even specialize in learning the desolation of the desolation of the wrists and arms, and then analyze the pros and cons of various gripping methods from the desolation structure of the wrists and arms.

This kind of exquisite research that was extremely exquisite was completely impossible in the eyes of people in the 1930s. But it was also because of the combination of various exquisite research that gradually formed the billiards technical system of later generations.

In fact, Chen Qiang does not have amazing talent in billiards, and his training time is not long enough, but with advanced technology and philosophy, he is enough to deal with these billiards players on the ship.

Of course, Chen Qiang is not able to win every game. He will occasionally lose several games. After all, his opponents are also strong, and occasionally encounter some luck. Seize an opportunity to clear from beginning to end.

But most of the time, Chen Qiang wins. He wins 15 points in a game, and after a day, Chen Qiang can also win hundreds of points.

Those Americans who lost to Chen Qiang did not resent Chen Qiang for this, and many of them even became good friends with Chen Qiang. Billiards are originally a gentleman sport. In a formal billiards game, it is difficult for the audience to hear other sounds besides the sound of the impact between the balls. There is no roar after victory, no roar after frustration, and even coughing is forbidden by the rules.

It is precisely because of this that everyone who plays billiards will maintain an elegant and decent attitude as much as possible. Even if some Americans discriminate against Chen Qiang as a Chinese, they will still face Chen Qiang with a smile on the billiards field.

In a few days, Chen Qiang became a well-known figure on the ship. Americans all know that there was a young Chinese man who played billiards well, and some even came to see Chen Qiang play.

...

During lunch, Chen Qiang arrived at the second-class restaurant.

"Hey, Chen, come here to sit down!" An American waved at Chen Qiang.

Chen Qiang walked over and an American immediately gave up a seat for Chen Qiang.

"Today's grilled fish is very good. You can try it, and there are steamed broccoli. It's so exciting to have broccoli on this sea." The American who gave up his seat to Chen Qiang and asked, "Do you have to play one game after lunch? I lost to you three games yesterday, so you want to give me a chance to avenge me!"

"I'm happy to accompany you." Chen Qiang replied with a smile. This American has a very average billiards level, but he just thinks he is very good. Since the other party is willing to help Chen Qiang score points, Chen Qiang will definitely not refuse.

Opposite, another American said, "Henry, I think you have to lose to Chen today. Chen is so good at playing billiards. Even if he can't score, he will stop the home goal in a position that makes you unable to score."

The Americans next to them have been fighting with Chen Qiang. At this time, they began to express their opinions and chatted very lively.

Not far away, Nanbu Tadaehime looked at the scene in surprise.

"I have only been on the boat for a few days. Why has Chen Qiang met so many Americans? Judging from the way he talks to Americans, he seems to be very proficient in English!"

Nanbu Zhongping was a little envious of Chen Qiang. As a world-class athlete, Nanbu Zhongping also hoped to integrate into the circle of European and Americans, not because Nanbu Zhongping admired the foreign countries, but because European and American track and field athletes often represent better technology and more systematic training. Nanbu Zhongping hoped to communicate with European and American athletes to learn their strengths.

Unfortunately, language is the biggest obstacle.

Nanbu Tadai's English level is not high, and the Japanese have never attached much importance to English education.

Even in the future, the Japanese's English level is criticized by other Asian countries. The Japanese are serious and meticulous and paying attention to details is world-famous, but this characteristic becomes an obstacle when learning foreign languages. Many Japanese people learn English, which is more like studying English, constantly judging details, and insisting on turning themselves into a grammar expert, but the result is that they can't get out of the way.

Moreover, the pronunciation of Japanese people in English always makes foreigners confused. For example, salad (salad), the pronunciation of Japanese people is "Salad", google (Google), the pronunciation of Japanese people is "Gugulu"; taxi (taxi), the pronunciation of Japanese people is "He cries". If this pronunciation is made by Americans, I really can't understand it.

...

An Qingyi came to the first-class restaurant. He ordered the meal, picked up the knife and fork, and tried hard to look gentlemanly.

Kiyoichi Kishi studied in the United States, so English is not a problem for him. Although he still has a Japanese accent and does not pronounce it smoothly like a real American, Americans can understand it.

Today, the first-class guests seemed to be deliberately consuming lunch, so there were not many empty seats in the first-class restaurant, and many passengers probably had to share a table for dinner. Fortunately, Western food is served by one person, and everyone who ordered whatever dishes would be served, and the table would not affect it.

A foreign man wearing glasses walked to the opposite side of An Qingyi and asked, "Can I sit down?"

"Of course." An Qingyi answered.

If it were Japanese, I would rather stand and wait for the empty seat than bother others. Americans obviously don’t have this kind of consideration. When they saw that there was an empty seat here, they asked if there was no one, so they sat down.

There were not many people who could sit in the first class cabin. After a few days of sailing, An Qingyi also understood other passengers in the first class cabin. He knew that the man wearing glasses was a rich banker.

The banker finished ordering the meal, then looked at Kishi Qingyi and asked, "Sir, are you going to the United States to participate in the Olympics?"

"Yes, I'm the team leader." Kishi Qingichi replied proudly.

"I've seen one of you athletes, a very young man, who played great billiards. Almost no one on the boat was his opponent. Last night, I competed with him for a game, and unfortunately lost to him!" said the banker.

"Thank you for your praise." An Qing looked at her smile.

"You have to ask when you go back, who went to play billiards last night. It was able to win the praise of Americans, which was also considered to be a sensation for Japan's overseas!" An Qingyi said in his heart.

At this time, the banker continued, "I remember that young man named Chen Qiang. I really didn't expect that among you Chinese, there were billiards that were so good."

"Chen Qiang!" The smile on An Qing's face disappeared in an instant.

After a long time of trouble, this banker kept praising Chen Qiang!

There is also the saying "You Chinese", which has caused An Qingyi to suffer a great blow!

"Sir, I'm very sorry, I'm not Chinese, I'm Japanese." Kishi Kiyoichi immediately defended.

The banker immediately showed an awkward expression, and he responded: "Oh, I made a mistake. I thought you were Chinese too! Sorry, you are all yellow people, I really can't distinguish between Chinese and Japanese. You Japanese look too much like Chinese."

The banker's last words hit An Qingyi in his heart.

What does Japanese look too much like Chinese?

Doesn’t this American know that this kind of description usually describes the son and the father?

For example, “Your son looks so much like you!”

No one will say, “You look too much like your son.”

...

Chen Qiang's life is very comfortable. He plays billiards during the day to abuse those Americans, and at night he enters the space and continues to train sprinting and long jumping events.

Since training in space can act on the body, Chen Qiang's body did not become weaker, but became stronger and stronger.

Liu Changchun is different. Without training for seven or eight days, his condition has already begun to decline. Chen Qiang can even see that Liu Changchun, who lacks training, seems to have gained some fat.

This is not good news for athletes who are about to participate in the Olympics. However, there is no sports facilities and no space for athletes to train, so all Liu Changchun can do is do gymnastics on the deck to exercise in this way.

After several days of sailing, the ship arrived in Hawaii.

When Chen Qiang saw the long-lost land, of course he had to get off the boat and tour it. What's more, Hawaii was originally a resort, and Chen Qiang in his previous life had never been to Hawaii. Now that he has the opportunity, Chen Qiang of course cannot miss it.

The ship stayed in Hawaii for a day, then continued to set off for the mainland of the United States.

...

After more than twenty days of bumpy surfing in the Pacific Ocean, Chen Qiang and his group finally arrived in Los Angeles. At the dock in Los Angeles, the leader of the Chinese delegation, Shen Siliang, several US Olympic Committee members and hundreds of overseas Chinese, had been waiting for a long time.

Shen Siliang is one of the founders of the China Sports Association and the honorary director-general of the Association. He has a background in the American church. During the War of Resistance Against Japan, he served as the president of St. John's University. He served as a member of the Standing Committee of the "City Advisory Council" and chairman of the "Shanghai Special Sports Association" in the Wang Puppet Government. After winning the War of Resistance Against Japan, he was sentenced to one year in prison for traitors. After being released from prison, he went to the United States to be a pastor.

Since this is the first time China sends people to participate in the Olympics, local overseas Chinese attach great importance to it and specially find a car to welcome the Chinese Olympic delegation. There are even two American policemen escorting the car on motorcycles, and behind the car is a convoy that stretches for hundreds of meters, which is vast and very grand. It can be seen that the Chinese community is still very powerful in Los Angeles.

The convoy arrived in Chinatown and immediately welcomed countless overseas Chinese, with the sound of firecrackers and gongs and drums ringing.

The car finally arrived at a big hotel, which was the temporary residence of Chen Qiang and others. In the evening, the overseas Chinese group also held a welcoming ceremony for Chen Qiang and Liu Changchun at this hotel.

...

The next morning, Chen Qiang came to the restaurant for dinner, and in front of the restaurant, he picked up two free newspapers provided by the restaurant.

"The quality of American newspapers is much better than that of Chinese newspapers. They are not only printed on both sides, but also printed photos."

Chen Qiang looked at a somewhat blurry photo on the front page of the newspaper and quickly began to browse the title.

After turning a page, Chen Qiang saw photos of himself and Liu Changchun appearing in the newspaper. The photos were very unclear. Only two people were waving at the camera, but their appearance was not very clear.
