The World Snooker Championship qualification tournament has been played for three rounds, and after the fourth round, 32 players will play the main match, and then, on April 20, the top 16 seeds in the world will appear one after another.
In this year's World Championships, what everyone is most looking forward to may be that Ding Junhui can win the championship and complete the Grand Slam! Seeing that the competition is approaching, the atmosphere has become more and more tense, but netizens found that Ding Junhui did not train "hard" as he imagined, but participated in racing activities and dreamily linked with Aston Martin Aramco F1 cars.
Seeing that it was a racing car and a beautiful woman, many people began to scold Ding Junhui for "not doing his job", "It's strange if he can win the championship", "If you don't train, are you ready to lie down" and so on.
In fact, the person who said these words has not been a day or two, Ding Junhui often posted some interesting things related to billiards on the short video platform, and also played the "pole method" with Internet celebrities, and also conducted live billiards broadcasts with Chinese eight-ball champion Yang Fan, comedian Liu Neng, etc., and also participated in variety shows and so on.
Many people have criticized Ding Junhui for "no wonder he can't win the championship, he doesn't do his job all day long, and he can't win the championship in this life."
Ding Junhui made a special response to this, he said: "You say that I post videos every day, go on variety shows, etc., and I don't do my job, but no matter whether I post videos or do variety shows, my content is related to billiards, and I am promoting the sport of billiards." Now that there is such a good platform, I think it's good to be able to do something for the promotion of billiards. ”
"And the career of snooker is too long, I have been playing for 20 years, I believe I can play for another 10 years, and you also believe that I can play for 10 years, so these twenty or thirty years of career, such a long time, do you say I don't do anything except play billiards, except for training games?"
Ding Junhui is right, whether he is filming video clips or live broadcasts, he is using billiards as the theme, spreading billiards in a comedy and humorous way, so that everyone feels that playing billiards is very interesting. And Ding Junhui doesn't participate in many variety shows, he may be able to count them on one hand, and they are all related to billiards.
Snooker is very boring, the time is too long, players also have their own lives and hobbies, it is not necessary to practice every day, take time to sit and sit for other things, it is also a kind of relaxation.
Ding Junhui's promotion of billiards can be said to be unprecedented. Although he did not win the World Championships, the World Snooker Federation still included Ding Junhui in the Snooker "Hall of Fame" for Ding Junhui's contribution to snooker!
Even O'Sullivan once said, "Ding Junhui is the godfather of Chinese snooker!"
Selby also said, "Ding Junhui has made snooker players make more money!"
Wa Fei even said that Ding Junhui is his idol!
Although there is no World Championship champion, Ding Junhui's form has picked up this season, and he has two runners-up in a single season. Looking forward to the World Championships going further!
