After the game moved into the final innings of the first stage of the game, Stevens finally played his own hot form. In the ninth inning, Lisovsky scored a serious error after scoring the first red ball to score 25 points, and then Stevens singled out a strong performance of 108 points to win the game 108:25 and trail Lissovsky 3-6. Judging from the performance of the two players in this game, Lissovsky's form is clearly more dominant. Judging from the combined performance of the two players in recent times, Lisovsky is also the dominant side. So the appearance of this score almost also shows the current objective gap between the two people. However, the gap between the three sets of matches is not much for a strong player, so it is not easy for Lisovsky to win the game quickly. If Stevens plays a strong performance in the second stage of the game, Lisovsky may not be able to block Stevens' promotion. So from the current situation, Lisovsky may not be able to guarantee a certain promotion, after all, Stevens is not an ordinary player. So if Lisovsky wants to secure promotion, he must defend his advantage.
