At present, the Snooker Turkish Masters is in full swing. In a focus battle, China's snooker brother Ding Junhui finally won four consecutive sets in a backward unfavorable situation and won a hard-won victory. And one of his actions during the game stunned his opponent, world Number 5 Karen Wilson. I have to say that such a Ding Junhui is really rare.
In the past two seasons, as a brother of China's snooker, Ding Junhui's performance is really very poor. Not only is it difficult to find a crown, the world ranking has fallen out of the top 16, and even staged a round of travel in various competitions. In addition, Ding Junhui also has an embarrassing thing, that is, for more than 470 days, he faced the top 16 players in the world ranking and did not win a single victory. This is really unreasonable for Ding Junhui, who once ranked first in the world. It is precisely because of this performance that Ding Junhui has been labeled as unmotivated. Many fans believe that he is currently living a very wealthy life, and has basically given up on his career and has no pursuit.
So, is this really the case? In this matchup with Karen Wilson, Ding Junhui's rare behavior on the field gave the fans a good answer. Before the game, due to Ding Junhui's poor performance in the past two seasons, not many people were optimistic about his game with Karen Wilson. After all, the opponent is strong and currently ranks 5th in the world. However, Ding Junhui proved his determination to return to the top with his actions.
In the first set, Ding Junhui took the lead in the form, taking the next set at 68:1. But in the next three sets, Ding Junhui had no feeling, and Karen Wilson seized the opportunity to directly win three consecutive sets, leading 3:1. Seeing this, I believe that not many people will be optimistic about Ding Junhui's turnover, after all, the opponent is a first-class master.
However, Ding Junhui did not give up. Entering the second half, Ding Junhui regained his touch, first in the fifth set, he scored a single 73 points and pulled back a set. Then, in the sixth and seventh innings, he scored consecutive single-shot breakers, 105 and 100 points respectively, and reversed the big score to 4:3 and get the match point. In the eighth set, it entered a bitter battle, but Ding Junhui finally laughed to the end and did not let the victory fly away. In the end, Ding Junhui eliminated his opponent with a large score of 5:3 and entered the round of 16.
This game, for Ding Junhui in the past two seasons, should be of great significance. Perhaps, this will also become an important node in his career. And one of his moves in the eighth set made people see his heart: he wanted to win, he wanted to prove himself again, he wasn't unmotivated.
The game went to the eighth inning, which may be more stressful, and Ding Junhui actually made a mistake in this game that can be called super. At that time, he originally wanted to be a snooker, but it turned out to be light, and he didn't even touch the ball. To be honest, such a mistake really shouldn't have been. And Ding Junhui was also depressed by his own mistake, only to see him angry, directly hit the ball up, and almost hit the ball off the field.
This scene made the opponent Karen Wilson stunned, after all, Ding Junhui has always given people a relatively gentle feeling when playing. It can be seen how Ding Junhui's heart wants to win. This kind of behavior is completely different from the feeling given to the fans for most of these two seasons, and everyone has seen it as if he is a desireless Ding Junhui. But what we see today is a Ding Junhui who is full of desire for victory and full of fighting spirit. Of course, this kind of behavior on the court is not a very good behavior, but for the current Ding Junhui, it is a welcome change. Previously, Ding Junhui had expressed his determination to break through the darkness in his New Year's resolutions. Now it seems that Ding Junhui is indeed proving himself with actions. Two consecutive big reversals, this is not only a victory in the game, but also a psychological victory for Ding Junhui.
