I want to buy a BK Beast myself!" "Lucky Star" Xing Ying, wielding the #StrongestBreakCueUnder1000Yuan, secured an early spot in the #BasketballCueKing Top 8!

On October 28th, the "Shi Yue Dao Tian · Jingdian Cup" Basketball Cue King 100-Point Billiards Challenge continued to rage at the Wanshanghui Billiards Club in Beijing's Dongjin International Center! Following his successful advancement to the Top 12, "Lucky Star" Xing Ying secured a Top 8 spot early with a score of 100-87. The key to his victory, besides his own competitive level, is also largely attributed to the Little Monster BK Beast break cue.

At this tournament, every player is equipped with the #StrongestBreakCueUnder1000Yuan​ BK Beast, which also witnessed Xing Ying's two consecutive highlight victories. After the match, Xing Ying admitted: "I haven't specifically practiced breaking, but what surprised me was that even without using too much force, its impact was already huge."

After trying it out and estimating the price based on its appearance, looks, and feel, he thought for a moment: "With this kind of rubber grip, I'd say it's under 2000 yuan." When he learned that the BK Beast is known as the "strongest break cue under 1000 yuan," Xing Ying was visibly stunned: "Then if the organizers didn't give me one, I would buy one myself. It's really easy to use."

He also boldly guessed its sales volume: "About 20,000 units a year, maybe 50,000 if I'm being bold... it can't be 80,000, right? 200,000 then?" He laughed when he heard the actual figure: "Over a million? Well, it seems good things can't fool people." Finally, when asked to describe the cue in one word, Xing Ying said very sincerely: "The BK Beast is a good cue that enthusiasts and ordinary folks can afford."

Talking about the match, Xing Ying said bluntly: "I've already played at 100% capacity. I've never participated in a formal billiards competition before, so when the arena setup and lights came on, I felt especially nervous." This remark creates an interesting contrast with Xing Ying's rich competitive resume.

Xing Ying, nicknamed "Veteran," is a former sergeant of a certain unit of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. He enlisted in 2007 and retired in 2011. During his service, he was repeatedly awarded "Outstanding Soldier" and represented his unit in the Beijing Military Region's "Comrade-in-Arms Cup" basketball tournament, winning second place. After retiring, he obtained multiple certifications, including the Chinese Basketball Association Level E Coach Certificate and the Beijing Basketball Association Level C Coach Certificate, leading his teams to championships in the World Chinese Basketball Tournament and the National Small Town Basketball Tournament.

Having seen countless big occasions, this time he temporarily bid farewell to the familiar basketball court, stepped onto the billiards stage, and welcomed a new crossover challenge.

From his first match against "Old Naughty Boy" Wang Jing, it was easy to see that Xing Ying has a certain understanding of billiards. Regarding this, Xing Ying admitted: "When I was young, playing basketball left me covered in injuries. People who do competitive sports always want to win, so in recent years, I looked for a sport that doesn't involve intense physical exertion."

When discussing the differences between basketball and billiards, Xing Ying stated: "When playing basketball, the more people watch, the more excited I get; the more spectators, the more passionate I am, and the court allows for shouting. But billiards is a gentleman's sport that requires settling down and calming your mind. The competitive states for the two sports are completely different." Switching from the noisy basketball court to the focused and quiet pool table, this completely different atmosphere is a brand-new test for Xing Ying.

Looking ahead to this tournament, when asked which of the 16 participants he favored to win the championship, Xing Ying boldly predicted: "'Dark Horse' Yang Song."

"The participants this time are all relatively high-traffic basketball players and influencers. If we set aside these halos, I just want to sit at the pool table and see exactly how big the gap is between me and everyone else." In Xing Ying's eyes, the traffic halo is just an added label; above the table, strength is the only hard truth. He didn't treat this crossover duel as a mere performance, but rather, with a down-to-earth attitude and his basketball foundation, genuinely wanted to measure the distance between himself and the other players.

Currently, although Xing Ying has firmly secured a spot in the Top 8, what awaits him next is an even crueler test. Whether he can fight to the end alongside the Little Monster BK Beast break cue, let's wait and see!
