Snooker's latest provisional rankings, Mark Allen has successfully reached the top. The world ranking is ranked No. 1 in the world ahead of Rockets, O'Sullivan and Trump. How did he do it? What progress did he make? Let's talk about it today.
In these two seasons, Mark Allen's results are the best outside of Xiaote and Rockets. Allen has changed a lot in recent years, not only has he lost weight successfully, but his style has also changed a lot. I don't attack blindly, I have learned to observe my opponent and know how to use it. Leaning more towards Mark Selby's style of play. Calm and calm to win. Deeply rooted in the essence of snooker. This more reasonable style of play also gave him a taste of the sweetness of victory, so he never got tired of it.
But these are not enough to play results, the style of play is one thing, and the technique is one thing. But the main thing is the success of mindset management.
Allen used to be known for his notoriously violent temper. But in the past two years, no matter how many games the score has fallen behind, you can hardly see Allen who is angry, and even his expression has not changed.
Hendry once commented that the expressions and body language during the game will reveal your heart. It's like a boxing match, with a few tentative punches, then a fatal punch that knocks the opponent down, and then the fight is over.
Like Ding Junhui, Lisowski, Ali Carter Maguire, these players don't lack skills, they just can't control their emotions. This is also the fundamental reason why Ding Junhui is frequently reversed. Emotional stability can help you increase your winning chips in the tournament!
Alan deeply understood the meaning and did a good job. I think that's the main reason why he's improving. So it's not hard to understand that the world ranking has come to No. 1 in the world!
