The 2021 Snooker Champions League is in full swing, and while invitational points are not counted in the rankings, the short-term schedule offers a rare chance for low-ranking players to earn prize money.
The Champions League is a round-robin match between the players in each group, and the top four players in the group will enter the final tiebreaker stage to compete for the only winner's group title, but in the group showdown that has just ended, there has been an unacceptable bad incident.
In the early hours of the morning, the second group of the Champions League also reached the winner group stage, and China's young player Lu Ning played well in the round robin to advance to the semi-final of the winner group against veteran Joe Perry, which was the most ordinary duel that caused great controversy after the game.
In the first three sets of the two sides, Ronin temporarily took a 2-1 lead to reach the match point, in the fourth set Ronin began to turn to defense after the scoring was interrupted, after the bat Joe Perry came to the stage but Ronin did not return to his seat but stood in the line of sight of the opponent, Joe Perry directly got up to express dissatisfaction and asked Ronin to return to his position.
After a brief gesture from the referee, Ronin eventually returned to his seat, but what was unexpected was that Ronin immediately hit the ground with his club and made a loud noise, and Joe Perry, who was preparing to hit the ball, was also affected.
However, in this round, Joe Perry finally reversed the game into the decider by turning over the bag with high difficulty, and thought that what had just happened was completely over, but Ronin made another inappropriate move after being reversed by Joe Perry.
At the end of the fourth set, Joe Perry got up and went to the bathroom, at which time Ronin also stood up, not knowing whether he was dissatisfied with Joe Perry or himself, Ronin directly used the club to fly the white ball on the table, and left indifferently, which can be described as a stunned many fans.
Although the decider Ronin eventually won the match, Ronin did not shake hands with Joe Perry after the end, and when Joe Perry came forward to ask why he had made an inappropriate move in the game, he left the game without turning his head, without any gentlemanly demeanor.
Reaching the final of the winners' group, Ronin met world champion Graeme Dort and eventually lost 1:3 to win the group title, but in the semifinals, Ronin's many inappropriate actions caused strong controversy in the media and fans.
Although Lu Ning is a domestic snooker player, the eyes of the domestic fans are bright this time, and Lu Ning's repeated impolite behavior in the duel with Joe Perry does violate the ethics of professional competition, and does not show the professionalism of a Chinese young player.
Although Lu Ning is a new generation of young players, but also into the professional arena for many years, it is impossible not to know the rules of the game, but also after the referee repeatedly reminded him still made inappropriate moves, as many fans said that Lu Ning won the game this time and lost people.
Lu Ning's misconduct was hotly discussed after the game, and I am afraid that he will also be severely punished by the World Taiwan Federation, so far Lu Ning has not responded to this matter, and I have to say that Lu Ning's operation is really incomprehensible.
