For the world of snooker, the rise of China's power is very noteworthy. From the strong victory of Ding Junhui, Fu Jiajun and Liang Wenbo to the rise of Yan Bingtao and Zhao Xintong, the Chinese Legion finally ushered in a new breakthrough. The emergence of this moment is inseparable from the efforts of Ding Junhui, a Chinese brother, for many years. Compared with the former Ding Junhui, today's young Chinese snooker players are undoubtedly happy, because they do not have to carry too much pressure. At the beginning, Ding Junhui needed to support his family, and if he did not have good results, he might have a problem supporting himself. When Ding Junhui shined on the stage, he not only actively strived for good results, but also let more Chinese players enter the professional arena.
Ding Junhui used to fight alone in Britain very sadly
Ding Junhui was the only one Chinese in the training ground of the British professional club, and he faced many inconveniences at that time. Whether it is language, habits or life, Ding Junhui faces great pressure every day. When Ding Junhui recalled that time, loneliness and hardship became the key words at that time. Although Ding Junhui has been praised by many snooker players for his talent, the cruelty of the professional arena is not as dazzling as they appear in the arena. If you can't feed yourself in the pro arena, then you have to think about doing something else. It's not alarmist, it's just a reality in a sports arena. Every professional player is eager to win a game, but when you look at the history of snooker, there aren't many who can really win the championship.
Ding Junhui let young players step into the professional arena
Without the presence of Ding Junhui, there would never have been so many young Chinese players in the world of snooker entering the professional arena. Before Ding Junhui appeared, many players had to go to the UK to become professionals to receive professional training, and now, you only need to train in China to have the opportunity to step into the professional snooker arena. In Ding Junhui's time, China could not even find a real snooker standard table, and today, we even have our own snooker billiard clubs and professional training clubs. Our young players and amateurs can even play on the professional snooker table, and all this change is due to Ding Junhui. Because of Ding Junhui's victory in 2005, China's snooker has achieved unprecedented development, he has allowed more and more young players to step into the arena, and changed the image of snooker in people's minds.
The rise of young people is Ding Junhui's greatest comfort
Since Ding Junhui's first championship, he has been the most stressed professional player because too many people hope that he can win the game. In the final of the 2016 World Championships, the number of people watching Selby and Ding Junhui match exceeded 130 million, which is the first time in the history of world snooker, and the only one so far. However, when Yan Bingtao and Zhao Xintong began to rise, Ding Junhui's pressure was finally alleviated. Last year, Yan Bingtao won the Masters, Zhao Xintong won the British Championship, and two of the three major competitions were taken away by Chinese. However, the appearance of this moment is also the result of Ding Junhui's great efforts. If it were not for his efforts, China's snooker would not have developed so rapidly, and there would not have been so many young players stepping into the professional arena of world snooker. In order to help Chinese players better adapt to the game and environment, Ding Junhui even founded snooker Academy and did not hesitate to pass on his past experience. This process, only the parties know how hard it is. However, from the current point of view, everything is worth it, after all, Zhao Xintong and Yan Bingtao have risen, and there are still more young generals on the way to rise. And their rise is also Ding Junhui's greatest comfort.
