The Chinese snooker competition is a major event that everyone pays attention to. At the competition site in Liaoning Province, the atmosphere was as festive as the Spring Festival, with the audience unable to sit still, all staring at the table, hoping for good results from our players. However, the performance in this match left us with mixed feelings, both joy and disappointment. This time, our Chinese team played a total of four matches, resulting in 2 wins and 2 losses. We wiped out the Scottish team's players, which was really exciting! But what was surprising was that both Ding Junhui and Barry Hawkins were eliminated. Speaking of Ding Junhui, everyone is very familiar with him. He is a legendary figure in our hearts. Everyone hopes he can win first place every time he competes. This time he played against Luca Brecel, and he has always been undefeated in previous encounters, but this time it was quite funny. Ding Junhui started off in poor form, somewhat passive, feeling a bit off. But fortunately, he quickly adjusted, and after a few rounds, he was really impressive, once leading 3-1. The audience began to cheer, thinking "this is stable!" But later, the situation became unfavorable. Brecel is not to be underestimated; he gradually regained his form and erased Ding Junhui's advantage bit by bit. In the end, Ding Junhui lost 3-4, which was really heartbreaking. This match not only marked his farewell to the event but also his missed opportunity for the championship dream, which is truly regrettable. Next up was Xiao…

Ding Junhui's defeat at the hands of Brecel was like a bucket of cold water on a winter day, making me shiver involuntarily. Back in college, I was a die-hard fan of Ding Junhui, skipping classes to watch his matches with an enthusiasm that still seems incredible to me now. At that time, Ding Junhui was synonymous with Chinese snooker. If anyone dared to say anything bad about him, I would definitely get into an argument. But now, as time passes and heroes grow old, this feeling is somewhat akin to watching cherished old photos turn yellow, leaving a mixed taste in my heart. This loss at the Scottish Open was indeed unexpected. Brecel had hardly ever won against Ding Junhui before, but this time he staged an astonishing comeback. Leading 3:1, the situation turned around, and the taste must have been bitterer than a cup of bitter coffee. Even more surprising was Ding Junhui's reaction after the match. Two Weibo posts directly targeted the organizers, with intense language and even swear words. This is unlike his usual style. You see, Ding Junhui always gives the impression of being calm and reserved. This time, his outburst must have been caused by something. The reports say that Ding Junhui believes there was a problem with the table, which affected his performance. As an outsider, I know nothing about the professional knowledge of snooker tables. But imagine if a painter used a rough canvas or a chef used a blunt knife like a saw, could their work be good? The same principle…

In the quarter-finals of the Snooker Masters, Ding Junhui was reversed by Trump with a score of 6-3 after leading 3-1. Ding Junhui has not won against Trump in nearly 10 years, and his mistakes were as fierce as a tiger, causing Trump to exclaim unbelievably. Apart from the rack error, Ding Junhui did not make any other mistakes, but he was helpless because the opponent's play was too outrageous and unreasonable. Any player would lose in such a situation. For example, Ding Junhui's defensive shot at the bottom, where he placed a high-difficulty top pocket ball that most players would not attempt, but it went straight into the pocket, leaving no room for argument. Trump played exceptionally well. In the post-match interview, Trump also exclaimed unbelievably, saying that he calmed down when trailing 1-3 and maintained a belief that was close to his peak in such a level of competition. Why is Ding Junhui's mentality so unstable? He cannot concentrate for long periods, why can't he concentrate for long periods? Poor physical fitness always makes him sleepy, why doesn't he exercise and train regularly? No one manages him, and he cannot be self-disciplined. Snooker is essentially a sport, but many Chinese players treat it as a game, thinking that they can dominate the world with just their skills. Alan lost weight through hard training, becoming both offensive and defensive, improving his results quickly and steadily, and the World Championship title will surely come. Ding Junhui relies on his past achievements and is confident to the point of arrogance, lacking…
