Under the influence of Ding Junhui, the best promoter of snooker, the Chinese snooker movement has developed very rapidly in recent years. In the major snooker competitions, there will be many Chinese players participating. Moreover, over the years, China's snooker has also emerged several very powerful players, including Yan Bingtao, the first champion of the three major competitions after 00, and Zhao Xintong, the first champion of the post-90s three major competitions. Including Ding Junhui, these players are still relatively popular in the world snooker industry. However, one Chinese player does not seem to enjoy such treatment. On the contrary, he was also spat on by his opponents one after another. What makes him even more depressed is that in the last two games, both opponents have complained ruthlessly about him, which makes him very depressed.
This Chinese snooker player is Lu Ning, in fact, Lu Ning's strength is quite OK, once entered the final four of the British Championship. However, this player does not seem to be very popular with opponents. In the current snooker Champions League, he was directly spat on by two major opponents, which made him very depressed.
The first opponent to express strong resentment towards him was Joe Perry. In the duel with him, Ronin finally won by a large score of 3:2. But this victory made the opponent very unconvinced. When he harvested the club after the game, Joe Perry also angrily rebuked him to his face, and the two sides eventually turned into ignoring each other. It turned out that in the game, Lu Ning did not know what kind of purpose it was for, and there were many violations of the rules in the game. When Joe Perry hit the ball, Ronin did not return to his seat, but chose to stand on the side of the stage that the opponent could see. This happened in both the second and fourth innings.
Obviously, this violates the relevant rules of snooker. Therefore, Joe Perry repeatedly expressed his dissatisfaction with Ronin and protested to the referee. However, Lu Ning did not seem to think that there was anything wrong with this. After being reversed by his opponent in the fourth set, he also directly knocked down the mother ball on the table, and also lost the club to vent his dissatisfaction.
The second to complain about Ronin was former world champion Graeme Dort, who was significantly stronger than Ronin, who also beat Ronin 3-1 in the second group title race. However, after the game, although Dort won, his mood did not seem to be very happy. He spat directly at Lu Ning after the game and also said that he did not want to meet him again in the game, which was terrible. Could it be that Lu Ning's strength is too strong, strong enough to make the opponent afraid, obviously not, because this game Lu Ning lost. So why?
Dort said: "I don't know if he (Rouning) did it on purpose, but his speed is really too slow, it's really torturous. If you play at his pace, you'll be more miserable than running. He hits the ball slowly in a very simple situation a lot of the time, and you feel like the passage of time is slowing down, it's really painful. I really can't stand a game with such a slow pace. While winning the game made me very happy, if I were to run into him again, I would definitely break down. Such a player, I really don't want to touch it, is too scary. ”
Judging from Dort's post-match complaints, it turned out that it was because of Lu Ning's style of play, which has been grinding. Truth be told, this style is really uncomfortable, so much so that Dot has made a sigh like never wanting to run into Ronin again. Dort also compared Ronin to Selby, the world's most famous grinder. Dort said Runin was harder to deal with than Selby. "If you haven't experienced that kind of pain, you'll never know how hard it would be to play against him. I think he's harder to deal with than Selby, and playing with Selby is painful, but not so painful. At least his interval between shots won't be that long."
Indeed, the game is too slow to play is really not too good, not to say that the opponent is uncomfortable, that is, the fans watching the ball may fall asleep. It's no wonder why another Chinese player, Zhao Xintong, is so popular because he plays beautifully.
