Snooker World Championships Ding Junhui lost 9-10 to Lisowski for four consecutive years, and what is even more incredible is that Lisowski is a player who has just defeated cancer...... Lisowski admitted frankly that an important reason why he beat Ding Junhui in the tiebreaker was that there was no pressure, because he almost died of illness, so the snooker game was not a big deal for him, and he would be more open than Ding Junhui.
Lisowski was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma at the age of 16 and had to undergo 16 rounds of chemotherapy to recover. Three years after turning professional, Lisowski confessed the fear he felt after receiving the terrible diagnosis: "It was waiting for you all my life, but something like that happened and you started to fear for your life...... You wouldn't want anyone to be in this situation. I felt very uncomfortable and started thinking about something very negative, I was sure that I was going to die, and honestly, as long as I lived, snooker was dispensable. ”
However, Lisowski believes that the cancer experience is a kind of wealth to some extent, that is, it enhances the psychological quality, except for life and death, everything is a trivial matter, so in the decisive game, he can let go of Ding Junhui, dare to fight fiercely, and even some balls do not consider attacking and defending. "It definitely means that snooker is no longer everything," he explained. When I lose a game, it probably stays in my head for ten minutes and then it just disappears in my mind. I don't sulk for days, or anything like that. ”
Why did Ding Junhui lose again? There are many reasons, the accuracy of the long platform is getting worse and worse, and the other is that the psychology is not good, and there is a lack of ruthlessness. In terms of technique and comprehensiveness, Ding Junhui is far better than Lisowski, but he does not dare to fight the ball, and it is not surprising that he will lose at critical moments. However, from a professional point of view, Ding Junhui was able to save match points in this game, and there were no stupid mistakes, which should be regarded as a normal performance, how can Lisowski have a relaxed mentality and play more perfectly.
