On May 9, 2022, the Snooker Elders World Championship came to a successful conclusion, and with Jimmy White losing the championship, the past season was a perfect end. However, compared with the "elders", we pay more attention to the "newcomer", in the past season, the mainland post-00s young player Wu Yize won the "Best Newcomer of the Year" award with excellent results, Chinese players have completed the feat of "six in four" in this award, and won the "Best Newcomer of the Year" 4 times in 6 years, Xu Si, Yan Bingtao, Pang Junxu, Wu Yize have won awards. The performance of china's young snooker forces in the professional tour has been recognized.
In August 2019, I had the first time to discharge the "Five Best of China and Youth", thinking that Dong Yan/ Bingtao, Xi Chang / Bingyu, Nan Zhou / Yuelong, Bei Lu / Haotian, Center Tong / Zhao, these five players will be the main force of China's snooker in the next ten years, now nearly 3 years later, Yan Bingtao and Zhao Xintong have proved that they are indeed occupying the main position, Zhou Yuelong although he has not won the championship, but the world ranking is high in the top three of the Chinese legion, and Lu Haotian and Chang Bingyu do not seem to meet expectations. In terms of technology and competition temperament, there has been no great improvement, and the record is also very mediocre, and even repeatedly suffered the danger of relegation.
Now I re-judge from the aspects of record and style, and give the "new five best" of China's snooker, DongYan/Bingtao, Western Zhou/Yuelong, Nan Pang/Junxu, Beifan/Zhengyi, and Zhongxintong/Zhao, and tentatively estimate that they will be the main force of the Chinese Legion in the snooker river and lake in the next ten years.
Dongyan/Bingtao Shandong February 2000
The 22-year-old played a 42-year-old composure, and in the game, like the unsmiling smile in the battle of the Eastern Evil Yellow Medicine Master, his defensive skills comparable to Selby's were the fragments of the Nine Yin True Scriptures hidden on Peach Blossom Island, which shocked the current martial arts. After 00 or even after 90 all the records, Yan Bingtao has created everything, masters champion + Riga champion + World Cup champion, plus 3 runners-up 5 times four finals 144 strokes to break the hundred, the data is proud of "five best".
Western Zhou/Yuelong Sichuan January 1998
This season's Zhou Yuelong, like Ouyang Feng, who was deposed by Wang Chongyang, but this did not affect Zhou Yuelong's status as the "five absolutes", just as it was hidden in the western region waiting to return to the Central Plains Wulin, the efficiency of the two runners-up 2 times four times plus 140 strokes is also very worth looking forward to, especially the 2 strokes 147 full score to lead the "five absolutes", but its psychological level is a large shortcoming, at this time Zhou Yuelong, waiting for an opportunity, stole a champion (false true scripture) completely released (what if it is crazy).
Nan Pang/Junxu Anhui February 2000
Teenager hair cutting COS a lamp master, temperament to pinch dead, like a yang finger that has both offense and defense, in the offensive and defensive level can not see which piece is obviously insufficient, a single season 3 into the top 16 + 5 chop TOP16 of the proud record to make it famous, but Pang Junxu's two seasons of 14 shots of the output efficiency is not very high, the overall ups and downs are larger, but Pang Junxu's ball style is tough, I believe that after time polishing and training, there will be better results in the future.
Beifan/Zhengyi Heilongjiang January 2001
Fan Zhengyi is exactly like the Seven Dukes of Beiqi Hong, wandering the rivers and lakes for many years without arguing about the world, what is the data of breaking a hundred, it is not as refreshing as two pots of good wine with a flower chicken. But the bad is bad in this name, do not compete for the world's first, this season Fan Zhengyi gave up his obsession, blasted out 11 shots in one fell swoop, and killed his idol in the first final, declaring that he was not a joke in old clothes and torn pants. However, due to the fact that Fan Zhengyi has only entered the quarterfinals once before, and even the top 16 has not been recorded, there is a certain degree of accident in winning the championship this time, but Fan Zhengyi's overall basic skills are solid, and a little polishing on the style of the ball can be reborn.
Center Tong/Zhao Shaanxi April 1997
Zhongshen, center child. Zhao Xintong is the first of the "five absolutes", the best talent, any peerless martial arts have seen the tricks, but any flaw in the world must be his own obsession, Zhao Xintong is as fierce as Wang Chongyang is to the country and hate the family, once deeply involved in this, the victory or defeat is doomed. If Zhao Xintong can withdraw from the so-called magnificence and meticulously craft it at the defensive level, then it will definitely be crowned the Huashan Sword in the snooker world.
In addition, this year's best newcomer Wu Yize is expected to replace Pang Junxu or Fan Zhengyi in the "New Five Absolutes" in the near future, which ones are the "five absolutes" of China snooker in your mind, welcome to give answers and reasons in the comment area.
