The Snooker World Championships are currently in full swing. China's snooker is a new and old brother, and the top 2 champions Zhao Xintong and Ding Junhui have been out. Zhao Xintong lost to Maguire 9-13 in the 16-8 match, after 3 stages of the game. Ding Junhui, on the other hand, was 8-10 karen Wilson in the first round of the first round, making the first round of the World Championships for two consecutive years. Since then, the Chinese snooker legion has only left Yan Bingtao, the only seedling. However, because Yan Bingtao's opponent of 16 into 8 is the big favorite to win the championship: "big grinding king" Selby. Therefore, fans are worried that Yan Bingtao will stop here.
However, it turns out that the name of Selby's nemesis is not in vain, and Yan Bingtao, whose style is similar to Selby's, is obviously better at grinding. In the first stage of the game, Yan Bingtao and Selby played relatively fast, and the game was more enjoyable, and finally drew 4-4. After the second stage of the match, Yan Bingtao entered the third stage with a 9-7 lead. When the third stage of the competition began, the "grinding control" was officially launched.
In this "grinding control" war, Yan Bingtao can be said to be blue out of blue and better than blue, and once Selby, known as the "grinding king", was anxious. When the game came to the 22nd inning, the "Grinding Control War" ushered in the peak moment. In the end, after 80 minutes and 24 seconds, Yan Bingtao "grinded Selby to death". This is really the back wave of the Yangtze River pushing the front wave, and the back wave line up the front wave on the beach. Since then, snooker's new "Grind King" has been officially born. In the end, Yan Bingtao defeated the winning favorite Selby 13-10 and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals of the World Championships, becoming the new favorite to win the championship.
After the game, fans and the media also commented on the game. Some fans joked: "There are talents in the Jiangshan generation, and the generation is more than the generation grinding." However, Yan Bingtao's statement was still affirmed by the People's Daily.
The People's Daily praised Yan Bingtao for his outstanding performance and his patience and steadiness in winning the victory. Indeed, since snooker is a competitive game, it is necessary to judge the hero by victory or defeat. Whether the game is grinding or not, it is the winner who is the king and the loser. Yan Bingtao can advance to the top 8 of the World Championships as the only seedling of China's snooker, and he is the hero of China's snooker.
Looking back at The new and old brothers of China Snooker, Zhao Xintong and Ding Junhui, weren't they "removed" from the list of winners precisely because they were not patient and steady enough? If Zhao Xintong can be more patient and Ding Junhui's mentality is more stable, he should not be out early.
