On 29 April 2022, the World Snooker Championship continued its semi-final battle, and in the first stage of the game that has already ended, Mark Williams surprised the fans with the overwhelming first three rounds, and the first leg was completely out of shape, and it was 1-7 behind Judd Trump. For the fans who love Uncle Ma, this is obviously unacceptable, on the one hand, they are still immersed in the joy of Uncle Ma beating Yan Bingtao, on the other hand, they are worried about whether Uncle Ma will be out of the game. In fact, on the whole, losing must have a cause and effect, and we can only accept the result, but the uncertainty of competitive sports is one of the most important reasons for attracting us.
After the first leg, Uncle Ma apologized to the fans for the first time on his personal social platform, and Uncle Ma said: "I am very sorry for that performance, it was very difficult for me, I am sorry, if we continue there, it will be easy to have a 17-1 score." Attentive fans can easily find that in addition to the meaning of apology, there is also a layer of "complaining" meaning, because when entering the game break, Uncle Ma has been repeatedly testing the table, and there may be some problems with the table of this game. Soon some fans on the Internet asked Uncle Ma whether it was a question of table mud or equipment, and Uncle Ma playfully replied: "You can't say that you will cause trouble." ”
In fact, no matter what the reason, even if there is a real problem with the equipment, it is fair to both sides, uncle Ma does not have to rush to apologize, because the game is not over, there is still hope for the impact of the final, let us review the two classic cases of the world championship semi-finals that fell behind 6 sets and successfully overturned.
The first was the semi-final of the 2003 World Championships, where Ken Dahdi was 5-11, 7-13, 9-15 in the match against Paul Hunter, but in the end Dahdi played a wave of 8-1, 17-16 on aggregate to reverse the masters' reversal paul Hunter. The second game was last year's World Championship semi-final, When Sean Murphy was 2-6 in the first leg against Karen Wilson and then 4-10 in the second leg, but then the situation was abrupt, and Murphy counter-beat Wilson 13-2, 17-12 on aggregate.
These two games are the classic cases of the world championship semi-finals behind 6 sets of turnover, for Uncle Ma, the first stage of falling behind 6 sets is not an absolute "death penalty", take this world championship, Trump's own 1/4 final, first of all, he lost 5 consecutive sets, and then played the opponent 8 innings, the big opening is too normal, but the state fluctuations of Trump are also relatively large, in the World Championships it is difficult to have players maintain a stable level at each stage, as long as Uncle Ma adjusts his mentality, do not care too much about off-field factors, Adjust it as soon as possible, then the result of the game is completely variable.
