In the early morning of April 21, Beijing time, China's brother Ding Junhui lost 8-10 to Brother Wilson in the first round of the World Championships, and after losing to Bingham 9-10 last year, he once again encountered a round trip to Crucible. Looking back at this game, Ding Junhui mainly lost in three key mistakes.
Ding Junhui regretted being out
The first mistake came in the ninth inning. At that time, Ding Junhui led 5-3, and if he won the ninth set, he would enter the second stage with a 6-3 score. In the ninth inning, Brother Lu took the lead, but made a mistake after scoring more than 40 points. Ding Junhui then hit a 34-point offensive interruption. In the defensive stalemate, Ding Junhui had bad luck after scoring a difficult red ball, did not call a coffee ball, and could only use the green ball to make snooker.
After Brother Lu solved the red ball in the end, Ding Junhui took the initiative, and there can be a variety of defensive plans at this time. But he hesitated, and the first big mistake of the game occurred: he chose to play the red ball lightly, and tried to block the red ball with the pink ball, but there was a big leak. He smiled and won the ninth set 75-35 to make the score 4-5. Ding Junhui could have led 6-3, but eventually became a 5-4 lead, which has laid the groundwork for the loss of the game.
Ding Junhui was no match for Brother Lu
The second misstep came in the seventeenth inning. At that time, the two sides were tied 8-8, and whoever could win the game would be the first to get the match point. After the kick-off, Wilson made a mistake after a single shot of 65 points, and the opportunity was left to Ding Junhui. After Xiao Ding scored 54 points, he made a major mistake, hitting the powder ball and not scoring, causing an offensive interruption, and Ding Junhui lost a chance to win. After that, Ding Junhui's powder ball did not score, the mother ball fell into the bag, and Brother Lu scored the powder ball to win the 17th set, with a 9-8 match point, forcing Ding Junhui into a desperate situation.
Ding Junhui made too many simple mistakes
The third key misstep came in the eighteenth inning, the final inning of the match. At that time, Ding Junhui did not enter the long platform to leave a chance, and Brother Lu scored 62 points with a single shot after getting started. At the critical time, Ding Junhui made a fatal mistake after scoring 22 points twice, and gave a big gift to Brother Lu: the pink ball did not score, and he also called the red ball. In the case of the opponent's super points, Ding Junhui wisely chose to directly concede defeat and pushed Brother Lu to the round of 16 with 8-10 eyes.
