Snooker is known as a "niche sport", but it is known as one of the hardest sports in the world. Snooker can be said to be a very technical project, with extremely high requirements for endurance, energy, explosiveness, and resistance to pressure.
Snooker players need to have speed control and explosive power on the pole, confrontation is more from the psychological level, long-term game needs endurance and energy. Because it tests not only accuracy, defensive skills, etc., but also tests people's psychological tactics.
Since its origins, snooker has not appeared as many representative figures as other sports, until now the players who can blurt out fans of all ages are Joe Davis (the first snooker champion), "Hurricane" Higgins, "Billiards Emperor" Hendry, "Ball King" Davis, "75 Three Masters" and "Post-80s Representatives" and others.
In the Chinese snooker legion, it is enough to prove how great Ding Junhui is, not to mention that when his family sold the property and went to the United Kingdom alone to participate in the competition, it is said that Ding Junhui can achieve such a huge number of snooker superstars is already very remarkable.
Of course, There is another important reason why Ding Junhui can achieve so many honors before that is the talent of snooker, snooker this sport put aside the skill and age factors, talent also occupies the absolute factor, it can be said that snooker's talent determines the upper and lower limits of a player.
And Ding Junhui's talent is undoubtedly very high, remember that in the past, there was a saying among fans that "a hundred years out of Ding Junhui, a millennium out of an O'Sullivan", which is also the key to Ding Junhui's ability to win 14 ranking championships in a foreign country.
There may be fans who think that hard work is more important than talent, but in snooker sports it is so cruel, there are too many players in snooker history who have worked hard for it to end up winning a ranking championship in their entire careers.
And look at the "75 Three Masters" of them, even if they are now 46 years old, they can still maintain enough aggression in the game to continue to win the championship, and they do not even have to maintain eight hours of training every day, which is the crushing of talent.
We ordinary people may occasionally play a Chinese billiards to achieve clearance, but when we really want to play snooker, most people can't even complete a single shot 30+, but for professional players, even if they pass more than 100, they can't guarantee excellent results.
There may be many fans who will say that a niche sport comes from so much, but objectively speaking, the visual sense of snooker's ornamental and defensive scenes is not worse than that of other sports, which is also an important reason why so many fans in China love it.
