Chapter 377: China Open
As a Laureus Award-winning athlete for the second year in a row, Sun's fame reached its peak on these two days, and many are expecting him to continue to excel in track and field. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
But what everyone didn't expect was that there was news that Sun Shine was going to enter snooker, which was an explosive news.
Although Sun Shine has participated in more projects, but the ball project has never been involved, to say that track and field and short track speed skating and alpine skiing are similar, these events are all competitions for speed, snooker is completely different, this is a skill class, can Sun Shine continue his glory?
Of course, there are some people who think that Sun Shiner is completely joking, and it must be fake news.
However, there are still some people who have seen Sun Shine fight snooker and think that Sun Shine can indeed fight snooker, and his skills are not very bad.
Subsequently, the China Open broke the news that Sun Shiner was about to participate, and even the list was ready.
At this time, everyone believed that Sun Shiner was really going to participate in the snooker competition.
For this matter, everyone doesn't know whether it's good or bad, some people think that Sun Shine is too arrogant, but some people think that Sun Shine may like snooker? It's not too much of a loss to be able to fulfill my dream.
Sun Shiner doesn't have the heart to think about these now, his current snooker skills are still good, but there are still some problems in some techniques and tactics, so Billy, as a coach, is giving him a little guidance.
The China Open is the only event that Sun Shiner can participate in in the first half of the year, and only has points, and the remaining World Championships, Sun Shiner is not eligible to participate.
At present, the China Open has attracted a lot of players from all over the world, including some famous players, such as Robertson, Higgins, O'Sullivan, etc., of course, China's Ding Junhui also participated in this event.
Because it is a tournament held in China, there are still many Chinese faces in the wild card game, in addition to Sun Shiner, many players from Hong Kong and Taiwan also come to play the wild card game.
Sun Shiner didn't have enough points, so he could only start from the wild card game.
There are also masters in the wild card game, although there are not many, but there are also them, such as Higginson, who is about to play against Sun Shine.
Higginson and Higgins are only one word apart, and there is a big gap between the strength of the two, Higginson's best result is to win the runner-up at the 2007 Welsh Open, although it is only a runner-up, but the gold content of this runner-up is not low, at least much more powerful than Sun Shine, a snooker white.
"Higginson, this person's strength is actually not very good, as long as you play normally, it is not a big problem to defeat him." Billy said confidently.
For a name that has never been heard before, Sun Shinen is naturally not afraid of Higginson.
Higginson was also very happy when he heard that his opponent was Sun Shine, who had not been in great shape in the past two years, otherwise he would not have fallen to the point of being in the wild card game.
However, Higginson has always been eager to stand on the podium again, and in a tournament that many of the high-profile players at the China Open do not take seriously, Higginson feels that there is still hope.
The strength of the people in the wild card game is not very strong, not to mention, Higginson's current opponent is still a snooker novice, although Sun Shine is very famous, but Sun Shine has never been brilliant in the snooker game.
I heard that Sun Shine won the game in the snooker charity show some time ago, not to mention that this is a charity exhibition match, as far as Sun Shine's opponents are concerned, they are all second- and third-tier players, and the strength is definitely not good, besides, it is a team competition, and there are masters like Ding Junhui in charge, it is not surprising that Sun Shiner can win the game, maybe it is that game that makes Sun Shine full of confidence, so he will come to participate in the professional competition of snooker.
Although I don't know where Sun Shine's professional qualifications came from, in the face of such a novice, Higginson is still very confident, and sweeping is not a problem.
The Wild Card Tournament is a best-of-nine game, with whoever wins five games first wins.
Before the game started, Higginson began to think about whether to put some water and let Sun Shine win the next game, after all, the opponent is also a world-renowned athlete, and it doesn't seem good to have a shaved head.
Sun Shine's popularity is very high in China, and for Sun Shine's first battle of snooker, many viewers paid for tickets and came to watch.
The tournament started at half past two in the afternoon, with four games at once, divided into four tables, with Sun Shina at table two, and four wild card games at half past seven in the evening.
The eight wildcard players will be officially faced off against various masters in tomorrow's main event.
It is very difficult to watch Sun Shine's game live, because there are too few international competitions held in China, and Sun Shine basically does not participate in domestic competitions, there is no competition, and Sun Shine's participation is meaningless.
So this kind of scene is extremely rare.
Sun Shiner and Higginson shook hands, this is the pre-game rule, friendship first, competition second.
The right to tee off is obtained by guessing the coin, Sun Shine's luck is not very good, he didn't guess right, Higginson guessed it, so the first game was kicked off by Higginson.
Then the two sides kicked off in turns, with Sun Shiner kicking off in the even-numbered game and Higginson kicking off in the odd-numbered situation.
There was a sofa next to him, and Sun Shine sat on the sofa very smoothly, in fact, Sun Shine felt uncomfortable because the clothes he wore were very formal.
Snooker competitions have a dress code, requiring a shirt, vest, trousers, a bow tie around the neck, and leather shoes on the feet, which is really uncomfortable for a person who is used to wearing sportswear and sneakers.
So Sun Shine likes to touch the bow tie around his neck when he has nothing to do, this thing is the most uncomfortable, as if his neck is strangled, and I don't know how those snooker players can stand it.
Higginson glanced at Sun Shine, who was sitting next to him, and hit the white ball hard, the white ball crossed the colored ball, touched the red ball, and then bounced back, although it did not stick to the table, but it was difficult to hit the white ball.
This level should be about the same, Higginson secretly thought that the other party was just a novice, and such a situation should be very difficult for Sun Shine.
Sure enough, Higginson saw Sun Shine fiddling with the bow tie in front of him uneasily, and the other party must have been very nervous.
In fact, Sun Shine was just a little uncomfortable.
Higginson went down and sat down, it was Sun Shine's turn to play, and the audience erupted in warm applause, and the other tables were not as popular as Sun Shine. (To be continued.) )
