On the trial day of the 2024 World Snooker Championship Qualifying Tournament, the fate of Chinese snooker is like a suspenseful drama, and the audience has witnessed multiple endings of joy or sorrow. Especially in Lu Haotian's game, he broke through with an extraordinary performance and became one of the few Chinese snooker players who could arrive in Crucible.
The duel between Lu Haotian and Jenson Kendrick is a demonstration of both technical and psychological struggle. At the beginning of the game, Lu Haotian showed his extraordinary billiards skills, cleared the table continuously, and established a score advantage with accurate long-platform offense and stable defensive strategy. In the middle of the game, Kendrick once succeeded in chasing points, but Lu Haotian finally sealed the victory 10-7 with the accurate play of key balls, thus showing his calmness and decisiveness under pressure.
Zhou Yuelong's game was a sad lesson. Despite leading 4-2 in the early days, Zhou's game gradually spiraled out of control, and Jack Jones' counterattack put Zhou Yuelong in a bitter battle. The back-to-back errors frustrated Zhou's confidence, and he eventually suffered a 4-10 defeat in a match that highlighted his lack of handling pressure at crucial moments.
The match between Yuan Sijun and Guoqiang also reflected the challenges faced by Chinese players in high-level international competitions. Although Yuan Sijun had several fierce battles with his opponent, the experienced Maguire showed his superb skills, hitting high scores in a row, and finally ended the match 10-6. Guoqiang, the new pro, showed remarkable resilience against Dominique Dell, but ultimately his attacking choices in the decisive moments led to his defeat.
These competitions are not only a test of technique, but also a serious challenge to mental quality. Every match is a comprehensive test of the overall strength of the players, especially under such a high level of competition and pressure, every small detail can make the difference between victory and defeat.
Although the results of the 2024 World Snooker Championship qualifying tournament are not ideal for most Chinese players, they undoubtedly provide valuable experience and lessons. Chinese snooker athletes need to further strengthen psychological quality training and coping strategies for key games in the future, so as to have better performance in the international arena in the future.
In the 2024 World Snooker Championship Qualifying Tournament, the performance of Chinese snooker players is like a drama full of ups and downs, attracting the attention of snooker lovers around the world. In particular, Lu Haotian's breakthrough not only showed his extraordinary personal skills, but also ignited hope for the future of Chinese snooker.
Lu Haotian showed his calm and precise style of play against Jenson Kendrick. His continuous clearances and handling of key balls are not only technical victories, but also a reflection of psychological quality. This victory is not just a one-point victory, it represents Lu Haotian's maturity and self-confidence on the international stage.
The match between Zhou Yuelong and Yuan Sijun showed some shortcomings of Chinese snooker in international competitions. Although Zhou Yuelong got off to a good start, the lack of control and mental adjustment in the subsequent game led to his defeat. Yuan Sijun showed a gap in technique and strategy against his experienced opponents.
Although the results of these competitions are mixed, they provide an important opportunity for reflection and learning for the future of Chinese snooker. First of all, Chinese snooker needs to pay more attention to the cultivation of psychological quality in addition to basic skills training. The high-pressure environment of the game requires not only excellent ball skills, but also the ability to control the pace of the game and cope with pressure.
From the perspective of the team's future planning, the China Snooker Association and related training institutions may need to introduce more international elements, such as inviting foreign coaches and psychological counselors, to improve the international competitiveness of the players. In addition, more experience in international competitions is also essential, and you can continue to explore and improve by competing with the world's top players.
For individual players, the future direction of development should pay more attention to the two-way development of psychology and technology. For a player like Lu Haotian who has already proven himself on the international stage, the future may be aiming for a higher world ranking and more titles. For the likes of Zhou Yuelong and Yuan Sijun, they need to learn from their failures and find a way back to the top by adjusting their training methods and game strategies.
Although the 2024 Snooker World Championship Qualifying Tournament has brought some setbacks to Chinese snooker, it has also provided valuable experience and inspiration. With the continuous improvement of technical and psychological quality, we have reason to believe that Chinese snooker will show more strong competitiveness in the international arena in the future.
