Beijing time on April 23 news, today at 5 p.m., the second round of the Snooker World Championships, Chinese double stars Zhao Xintong and Yan Bingtao will once again appear at the same time. In the match that started at 9:30 last night, Zhao Xintong and Yan Bingtao played at the same time, Zhao Xintong was pulled away by Maguire in the second stage, and the General Bureau was 5-11 behind and was on the verge of being out; Yan Bingtao was in the first stage and the world's 1st Selby to a 4-4 draw.
First of all, let's analyze Zhao Xintong's promotion situation, because he will usher in the third stage of the decisive battle with Maguire and will determine the winner. In the first two stages, Zhao Xintong fell behind 5-11, 13 wins in 25 sets, that is to say, Maguire won 2 more rounds to advance, and Zhao Xintong would be eliminated if he lost 2 more sets. Therefore, there are only two scores left for Zhao Xintong to complete the counterattack in the third stage, playing 8-1 or 8-0, which is very difficult, but there is also a glimmer of hope. You know, in the final of this season's Snooker German Masters, Zhao Xintong once played a 9-0 score to win the championship.
Of course, in order to complete the earth-shattering reversal, Zhao Xintong not only needs to play impeccablely, but also depends on Maguire's state. If Maguire still continues the divine courage of the first two stages, then Zhao Xintong's counterattack is hopeless.
Yan Bingtao and Selby will have a second stage of the match. Again fighting No.1 Selby, Yan Bingtao's physical condition is very worrying, in the first stage of the game, we saw Yan Bingtao coughing non-stop, according to Yan Bingtao's mentor Zhang Dongtao in the commentary of the game, Yan Bingtao is currently infected with a serious cold. The first stage was 4-4 draws, and the two were in the same running line. In the second stage, Yan Bingtao and Selby have equal opportunities.
Judging from the first eight innings, Yan Bingtao was better at the defensive end, and Selby played more single-shot 50+ on the offensive end, because both of them were defensive, and the time spent eight innings in the second stage would certainly not be short, and the first eight innings played for nearly 4 hours. Such a hard battle, for Yan Bingtao, who was in poor physical condition, the test was very great!
