Watching a game is really not something you should do if you have a favorite player, as it can be quite nerve-wracking. Honestly, when Ding Junhui played against Old Ma in the previous round and I watched him make an over-score shot in the last game, I was more nervous than he was, but fortunately, he won.
This time against Xiao Te, I didn't predict the beginning or the end.
Who would have thought that a 1-3 score could turn into 4-3, causing both joy and sorrow for different people!
After the intermission, Xiao Te's state was indeed different; he must have used the 15 minutes to quickly find his touch.
Immediately after returning, Trump was very fierce, directly winning with a single stroke, leaving no chance for Ding Junhui.
There's nothing we can do; Xiao Te is just accurate, with a stronger ability to seize the opportunity to play than Ding Junhui.
In the sixth round, it was really awkward. Xiao Te was still accurately on the long table, but unfortunately, there were no more chances after six points.
The two entered the defensive phase, where Ding Junhui, with the help of luck, made a very good defense. Xiao Te had a good idea, preparing to hook and stick.
A miraculous scene unfolded: the red ball seemed about to enter the middle pocket but stopped at the mouth of the bag.
If this shot had gone in, it would have been Xiao Te's turning point, but unfortunately, he gave Ding Junhui a pocket ball. Although the ball formation was still good, Ding Junhui found it difficult to play because the black ball occupied the point, moving to the position of the yellow ball.
At 35 points, an accident occurred: Ding Junhui made a mistake with his rack, giving Xiao Te the opportunity to play. After reaching 59 points, the red ball was not called in place, and the two returned to the defensive phase!
This time, Xiao Te defended against Ding Junhui, gained penalty points, and took the initiative with his accuracy, ultimately winning the game.
It's a pity that this round was reversed by Xiao Te, bringing the score to 3-3.
This shot was a turning point in the game. Originally, Ding Junhui's chances of winning were slim, and with such a mistake, it became dangerous!
With the score at this point, I'm still very worried about Ding Junhui. After all, Xiao Te is indeed very accurate, and if he wants to win, he must take the initiative and finish in one shot, which is quite stressful.
In the seventh round, Xiao Te chased two rounds in a row, with a very hot hand. The opportunity to start this round wasn't actually good, but Xiao Te still hit the red ball into the right middle pocket.
Seeing this round, fans became even more worried; some couldn't bear to watch anymore and chose to go to sleep.
Choosing to go to sleep was a wise decision. Those waiting for a comeback felt heartbroken because Xiao Te won another round with a single shot, not only being accurate but also having a strong ability to score in a single stroke.
If Zhang Anda had this performance, he could easily eliminate Brother Kong.
By this point in the game, Xiao Te was already leading 4-3.
It's really a miraculous reversal; you never know what the outcome will be until the very last moment.
In the eighth round, Xiao Te went on the long table again, feeling like it had become a set script, always starting from the long table.
This round followed the script where the attack did not continue; the cue ball sank to the bottom, making it difficult to attack, so they reluctantly entered the defensive phase again.
Originally, this was a good opportunity for Ding Junhui, but he didn't seize it and even gave Xiao Te a chance. There was nothing he could do, and he lost another round.
After watching these few rounds, honestly, my heart feels cold.
Currently, Xiao Te has already taken the match point with a 5-3 lead, and it seems that Ding Junhui is in great danger. It's not just about a comeback; it's estimated that it will be difficult for him to win another round!
Indeed, Ding Junhui didn't perform that well, while Xiao Te's accuracy is very strong. If he wants to have an outstanding performance, Ding Junhui still needs to work hard.
Finally, do you think Ding Junhui can win another round?
