In the early morning of January 30, Beijing time, the Snooker German Masters ended another semi-final competition. As a result, China's Yan Bingtao defeated Mark Allen 6-4 and successfully met zhao Xintong in the final. Compared with the final result, there is a detail in the game that makes us worthy of praise for Yan Bingtao, that is, in the last game, Yan Bingtao could have won with one shot, but he took the initiative to admit the foul and gave up the offensive power to Allen.
Yan Bingtao fouled
This detail takes place in the tenth inning of the match. Yan Bingtao led 5-4 in the first nine sets, and as long as he won the tenth set, Yan Bingtao would advance to the final 6-4. The game in the tenth inning was fragmented, when Yan Bingtao was behind 18-29, but he had the opportunity to attack. While hitting the black ball dribble, Yan Bingtao accidentally touched the mother ball in advance. This subtle action was not seen by the referee on duty, But Yan Bingtao took the initiative to get up and inform the referee that he had fouled, and Allen accidentally got on the mobile phone.
Yan Bingtao took the initiative to inform the referee
Judging from the situation at that time, the table surface was well distributed spherically, and there was no interference around the black ball. If Yan Bingtao did not tell the referee that he had committed a foul, he had every chance to win with one shot. But Yan Bingtao's choice is to lose rather than violate the rules of fair play. Unfortunately, Allen did not seize the opportunity, and Yan Bingtao finally won the victory as he wished, and met the final with Zhao Xintong, who had previously defeated Wharton. It should be said that Yan Bingtao's move can be described as a win and a winner, highlighting the demeanor of a Young Chinese general.
Zhao Xintong and Yan Bingtao will meet in the final
Snooker is a gentleman's sport, and most of the professional players participating in the competition will follow the rules and compete fairly. However, there are also professional players who, in the case of urgent loss, have the phenomenon of dropping clubs and complaining about interfering with opponents. However, in the event of a foul, it is generally voluntarily admitted. Well-known players such as Ding Junhui, who are familiar to fans, have all experienced this situation. Now Yan Bingtao once again took the initiative to admit fouls in the championship moment of the semi-finals, which also reflects the demeanor of Chinese players and deserves great praise.
