Congratulations to the new king of Snooker Yingjinsai on his ascension to the throne, and Zhao Xintong became the second three major champions after Ding Junhui

For some time, Snooker had three things to look at for me: First, can the Rockets win the championship again? Second, can Xiaote have a breakthrough in the three major competitions? Third, will there be a new face for the ranking champion?

The Rockets' legendary career began with winning the British Championship in 1993. The only time he reached the final of the British Championship and finished runner-up was against Selby in 2016. This time the Rockets went 16 to 8 I thought he couldn't hold back, but I could feel his desire to win, and Sankam lost the sixth inning to let the Rockets breathe. This is also the key to the inability of many players to compete with O'Sullivan: the fiery feel is often short-lived, you collapse in a long-term game, and the Rockets have enough experience in the chaos with a wealth of ball-playing experience.

Brother Lu played an unprecedented good state for the rocket, completely failing to live up to the good luck of fainting into the key blue ball and the rocket white ball falling bag, and the decider was even more imposing and directly killed, so that the rocket's 46th birthday could not be spent on the field.

I don't know if Brother Lu will think at some moment that he won the Rockets revenge for the world championship final, and the championship will be stable? Anyway, the young people of this British Championship are like playing chicken blood, one is stronger than the other and has not yet made false hair. The hanging brother immediately encountered luca, who was even more anti-heavenly, and he dedicated a career phenomenon to a game. Nicknamed "Belgian Bullet", Luca saw the state of divine bravery against Brother Lu, and could not help but think of the lyrics in "Partisan Song": We are all sharpshooters, and every bullet destroys an enemy.

The semi-finals on the other side were equally intense, with Zhao Xintong beating Hawkins 6-1 with a crazy performance, the whole game took only 100 minutes, and he played a 100-70+ shot, and the sharp attack dominated the game.

It is worth mentioning that all four of them have reached the semi-finals of the British Championship for the first time. Moreover, this is the first time in eighteen years that post-80s players have collectively missed the quarterfinals of the British Championship, as if to make way for newcomers. This is also the first time in the history of the three major competitions that a post-95 player has won the final.

The results are great, and the nickname can not be less. Just after Zhao Xintong broke into the final four, the official name of the master of fortune telling, Rob Walker, gave him a nickname: Cyclone, which translates to "Little Whirlwind" or "Whirlwind Boy". His brilliantly offensive style is fluid, and indeed deeply liked by "White Whirlwind" White, calling him one of the best players and saying that his style of playing is very similar to his younger self.

XiaoSki, who also plays the same style, also expressed his appreciation for the small whirlwind: "Zhao Xintong is my favorite player to watch, he is attacking every shot, not playing any anglo-global. We're going to play the way we play, and analysts are going to say which balls we should play and which balls we shouldn't play, but we're not going to listen to that. ”

But relying on accuracy can't go very far, and the Rockets expressed a pertinent suggestion: "He (Zhao Xintong) may need to strengthen his defense." He needs to do that because when the game gets choppy, he always looks like the one who performs worse. Eventually you'll have to see the real chapter at the table. ”

Zhao Xintong's defensive mistake in the second set of the final allowed Luca to clear the stage with a single stroke of 133. In the back, Zhao Xintong's defensive success rate was as high as 86%, and the luck was not on Luca's side, the opponent almost did not miss the ball when he made mistakes, and the powder ball that fell into the bag in the 12th round was even more unlucky to the extreme. In the final, the two people have similar styles, no entanglement, and the atmosphere is relaxed, just like the usual practice game, Zhao Xintong is particularly relaxed, the state and luck are online, worthy of the title of British Championship champion.

Before Yan Bingtao won the Championship in the Masters, becoming the first person after 00, when the post-90s players had no harvest in the three major competitions, now Zhao Xintong won 10-5, becoming the first post-90s champion in the history of the three major competitions, receiving a championship prize of 200,000 pounds, and upgrading his world ranking to the top 16, snatching the last ticket of the Masters from Zhou Yuelong (who would have thought that Zhou Yuelong's Masters would be so yellow?). ), ranking worry-free within two years, you can also participate in a series of welfare competitions.

It is very happy to see new faces in the final of the ranking tournament, snooker the sport needs such fresh blood to renew, and even happier is that there are Chinese players in the final, Yan Bingtao, born in 2000 at the beginning of this year, won the cup at the Masters, and Zhao Xintong, who was born in 1997 at the end of this year, won the Championship at the British Championship, becoming the fourth ranking champion in the Chinese mainland after Ding Junhui, Liang Wenbo and Yan Bingtao. Chinese youngsters are showing extraordinary competitive strength, and I hope that every Chinese friend who loves snooker can show the style of a big country fan – give them tolerance and encouragement, rather than insults and denigration. Every footprint of theirs is inseparable from everyone's support, and their future is very worth looking forward to!
