In the second round of the second stage of the Elite Tour Qualifiers, "Swing Brother" Yang Biao was in excellent shape, defeating Yang Hang 13-3 to lock in the qualification for the main tournament.
"The performance these days is ok. In the first stage, I met Yu Haitao and Yang Fan continuously, and the signing was also excellent. Today (17th) the opponent's state is really not very good. I enjoy the Elite Tour and enjoy the arena because I feel like I'm in a regular tournament. With the table (the designated table for the Chinese World Championships created by the star card), I am very accustomed to playing, especially flat, the ball is particularly stable, the side library is also very good, as long as the play is accurate, I can always score, and there will be no problem of catching the ball. Yang Biao said after the game.
Yang Biao was born in Jiamusi, Heilongjiang Province, where many Chinese billiards first-line players have emerged. "At that time, there was only one table in the village, playing with my partners, and I had no formal training. Before the age of 18, my game in Jiamusi was basically a champion, but at that time, the prize money was only three or five hundred, and I felt that it was not interesting, so I stopped playing. ”
Indeed, the Chinese billiards industry at that time was a world apart from today. The young people who are helpless to give up their billiards dreams are not only Yang Biao. Fortunately, with the unremitting efforts of billiards people in all aspects such as Xingpai, the Chinese billiards industry has come out of the trough little by little and come to a brighter front.
At about the same time, after seven or eight years of putting down the club, Yang Biao left his hometown to develop in Shanxi. After playing again, Yang Biao's out-of-the-bar posture began to become different: "I feel that I must use my body to drive when I go out, and after shaking it, I feel that the club can be straight and the force can be penetrated." My habit was formed at that time, and I wanted to correct it but it didn't work so well, so I kept it. That's where the nickname "Swing Brother" comes from.
Yang Biao and Shi Xin are close friends for more than 20 years, "Before I met Teacher Shi Xin, I was a 'wild road'. After so many years of hearing about him, I was influenced and began to understand basic training. ”
At the end of 2016, Yang Biao began to participate in the national Chinese billiards tournament and fully devoted himself to the billiards cause. "I think the billiards market is developing very well, and there have been earth-shaking changes in recent years, and as golfers earn money, parents will be willing to let their children learn to play." However, Yang Biao has not yet embarked on the road of teaching, and he modestly said that he is "not qualified enough to teach football, afraid of misleading people's children."
This year, Yang Biao used the east wind of new media to continuously output wonderful short videos to push billiards to a wider group. "Now is the age of the internet, and the network spreads the fastest. I hope that capable billiards people can also do snippets, because their snouts can be more professional and can really affect billiards lovers. ”
In 2021, Yang Biao will be on the elite tour for the second time. "The Elite Tour is an important race this year, and I hope to play well and improve the results (compared to last year)." Whether on or off the field, whether playing a game or doing other things to promote billiards, "Swing Brother" is the swing of billiards, non-stop.
