The much-anticipated World Snooker Championships were played hotly, and with Yan Bingtao stopping in the quarterfinals, this season also meant the end of the season for Chinese snooker players. Recently snooker officially gave the latest world ranking, for Chinese players this ranking is not surprising is the final ranking of this season, Zhao Xintong with the British Championship and Masters championship, ranking to the top of the Chinese snooker players, now ranked 6th in the world.
From the ranking point of view, Zhao Xintong is now a brother of China's snooker, and fans who often pay attention to Zhao Xintong know that Zhao Xintong can be said to have opened for three years with the bonus points of the British Championship and the Masters, even if many competitions are a round trip, today's ranking is still far ahead. It is worth saying that since Zhao Xintong won 2 championships, he has participated in 1 round trip 9 times, and many fans have ridiculed Zhao Xintong as a flash in the pan.
This World Championship Zhao Xintong from the beginning of the main game, the first round of face Clark to play a strong 10-2 point difference, became the first player to advance to the round of 16, unfortunately to advance to the top 8 of the game, 9-13 lost to the old spicy Maguire, watched the live broadcast of the fans know that Zhao Xintong dares to fight, but unfortunately not very stable, before the game full of confidence to the media said, want to become China's first player to win the World Championship championship, helplessly stopped in the round of 16, while the top 16 is also Zhao Xintong's best result of snooker.
Fans who often pay attention to Zhao Xintong are not difficult to find that Zhao Xintong's talent is very good, the accuracy is amazing, the success rate of the long platform is very high, but it is a pity that the performance is unstable, when playing the downwind game, it can be said that God comes to kill God, Buddha comes to kill Buddha, how to fight how to have. When playing against the wind, especially in the long-term game, when encountering some old and spicy players, or players who pay attention to defense and positioning, Zhao Xintong will play very well and be easily upset.
Zhao Xintong's playing style is very ornamental, the speed of the shot is fast, the ball is not inked, many fans like to watch Zhao Xintong play, and there are many fans who think that Zhao Xintong can become Ding Junhui's successor, in the eyes of many snooker celebrities, think that Zhao Xintong should produce results very quickly, but it is a pity that Zhao Xintong, born in 1997, only got the results at the age of 24, why did he get the results so late?
Is it really a waste of talent? Everyone can see that Zhao Xintong needs to improve his defense and position, it can be said that he only needs to improve this short board a little, Zhao Xintong will be very strong in the game, so why doesn't Zhao Xintong improve it? The author believes that in the final analysis, it still has a lot to do with the background of snooker, snooker has not developed in China for a long time, Ding Junhui is the player with the best results, but Ding Junhui's psychological shortcomings have not been overcome.
For Zhao Xintong to overcome the shortcomings, it is really difficult, there are fans such a metaphor, Zhao Xintong is Zhang Jike in the table tennis player, this is a pity did not meet his Xiao Zhan, resulting in Zhao Xintong to the fans to feel that the waste of talent, the author believes that with the rise of age, Zhao Xintong himself epiphany to the true meaning of snooker, may play more rational.
Of course, there are also fans who think that Zhao Xintong is better than Ding Junhui and Yan Bingtao, it can be said that he is a rich second generation, there is no excessive economic pressure, playing may be more of a hobby, but also led to Zhao Xintong's results are not as fast as Ding Junhui Yan Bingtao, and it is not as urgent as Ding Junhui and now Yan Bingtao to earn money.
Some fans think that the departure of Zhao Xintong's beautiful girlfriend is to lose patience with Zhao Xintong and cannot see the hope of winning the championship, and what surprises the fans is that when the girlfriend left, Zhao Xintong magically won 2 championships, and some fans joked that he could win the championship to his girlfriend.
Finally, what I want to say is that Zhao Xintong's future really has more possibilities, although he does not have Yan Bingtao's calm and sophisticated, defense and positioning, but it is really a key moment, the author is more optimistic about Zhao Xintong, I have to admit the fact, how far a player can go to see the effort and sweat, but what kind of height can be reached, really look at the talent, everyone said right?
