1990, Stephen Chow made a film called Descendants of the Dragon, which tells the story of a kind and upright young countryman who was taken to Hong Kong by his uncle to play billiards. Finally, he defeated jimmy white by virtue of his billiards talent and billiards skills which combined China Kung Fu. It is estimated that Master Xing never imagined that the "cocoon" he forged with the legend in the past would emerge in the future. When Ding Junhui beat Hendry to win the China Open championship, it was reminiscent of this film, and Descendants of the Dragon was the best summary of Xiaohui's spirit and achievements.
A week ago, if someone asked you: Who is Ding Junhui? What would you say? If someone asks you now, who is Ding Junhui? What would you say? This young man who is fighting smallpox like Liu Xiang brought us the same surprise. ...
Ding Junhui, born in 1987, began to practice snooker at the age of 8. 10 years old, invincible in his hometown of Yixing, Jiangsu. 1 18 years old, single shot 1 18. /kloc-at the age of 0/5, he won the gold medals in the Asian Games Snooker Competition and the World Junior Snooker Competition. At the age of 65,438+06, he became a professional player and went to Britain to participate in the World Billiards Professional Tour. Within a year, he rose from the world ranking 128 to the 56th place, beating mark williams, who was ranked first in the world at that time, twice in a row. In 2005, Ding Junhui was less than 18 years old, but he has become the "number one in the world" in Ronnie O'Sullivan's mouth. Ding Junhui, who just turned 18 three days ago, inscribed the first China's name on the world professional billiards ranking champion list, becoming the first professional billiards player in the world to win the championship with a wild card. A movie
Coincidence can be born.
Ding Junhui reinterpreted Descendants of the Dragon with his own story.
Ding Junhui, 1987, a native of Yixing, Jiangsu. His father Ding Wenjun is a small businessman who buys and sells cigarettes. When he is free, he likes to play two sets on the outdoor pool table downstairs. Under the influence of Ding Wenjun, Ding Junhui stepped on a wooden box at the age of eight and played billiards for the first time in his life. Since then, he has been out of control. "At that time, taking children out to play billiards was no different from going out to play mahjong in the eyes of relatives and friends, and they didn't learn well." Ding Wenjun recalled that he was still feeling at first, but seeing Ding Junhui's winning rate on the street billiards table getting higher and higher, Ding Wenjun made an unimaginable decision-let Ding Junhui drop out of school and concentrate on practicing. What can I do if a child under 10 doesn't go to school? "At that time, my father didn't even do business. He set seven tables and opened a billiard room. I wear it to practice every day. It wasn't long before no one in my hometown could hit me. When I was less than11years old, I called 65438 alone. Ding Junhui felt that if he hadn't dropped out of school and gone south, there wouldn't be today. Dante Wenjun's words were more realistic. " Many people ask me why I have such great courage. In fact, I just bet my life and my child's life on a verdict. I think billiards can support our family, that's all. "Four clubs?
Witness the way for teenagers to win the championship.
"I just eat by craft." For Ding Junhui, the craftsman, the update of tools can generally witness the upgrading of technology. Ding Junhui has changed four owners so far, and it seems that this young Ding should grow up. The first shot: from Yixing to Dongguan "The first shot was bought by my father when I was 8 years old. Quite cheap. " It's hard to imagine what it would be like for a child to hold a club higher than himself all day, but I can imagine the surprised expression of Yixing local billiards master when he lost to Ding Junhui. After "working" for more than 10 hours every day, Ding Junhui's first pole soon cracked, so before going south to Dongguan, Ding Junhui got a new pole, which was much more expensive this time. The second shot: from Dongguan to Busan.
When I first arrived in Dongguan, in order to let my son rest as much as possible, my father Ding Wenjun separated a triangular space with a splint in the corner of the ball room. After practicing the ball every day, the father and son curl up in a bunk to sleep. Without outside financial support, all expenses are my father's savings. "A large part of the motivation to win the game at that time was to make money for the family. In a competition in Guangzhou, I won the championship and got a prize of 26 thousand. I proudly said to my father,' My son can make money so that you can take good care of your old age'. " In Ding Wenjun's eyes, it was the most difficult time to go south, but it was also during that time that Ding Junhui became a great player and won the runner-up in the 2002 ISBF World Amateur Championship and the snooker singles champion in the 2002 Busan Asian Games. Ding Junhui rewarded himself with a new club after going to Australia alone to win the 2002 ISBF World Championship Youth Championship. The third shot: the conflict from Busan to Britain
When he wins the World Youth Championship, he is qualified to be a professional player. However, since Ding Junhui was under the age of 16 at that time, he had to wait for "becoming a full member", but he didn't expect that this class was waiting for "SARS". In the three months of 2003, Ding Junhui was basically in an embarrassing situation without a game to play. In order to keep Ding Junhui in shape, Ding Wenjun "forced" him to practice boring for a long time every day, and confiscated his son's favorite game machine. The first conflict broke out between father and son. "At that time, I knew that the child was going to collapse, but it was impossible to practice billiards."
In the second half of 2003, Ding Junhui succeeded in "becoming a full member" as promised, ranking among the top players in the world 128, and went to Britain to play the world billiards professional tour, earning 40,000 pounds a year. "All opponents are ranked higher than themselves, and the number of defeats in one month is almost catching up with previous years. No one can say it, and they are homesick." The situation in Britain is worse than Ding Junhui imagined. His father, who had been taking care of him all the time, was not around, and his language was unreasonable, which made it difficult for him to walk when he first arrived in England. "It doesn't matter how much he loses, let go of the fight, and now dozens of people are left behind by me." As the youngest player in the history of professional billiards league, Ding Junhui has been using his mentality and achievements to conquer his opponents. "Now Peter Abbott (the eighth British player in the world) will invite me to play in his billiards club, and Thai star Wattana also frequents there. At the end of last year, Abbott also suggested that I customize a 200-pound club, but it is really easy to use. " The fourth shot: I am eager to go to Beijing from England.
Now, Ding Junhui has won the China Open with his fourth shot. "Every time you change clubs, your grades can be improved." Although Ding Junhui is eager to beat O 'Sullivan at home to realize his dream of being the world's number one, because the latter's absence has not come true, he will soon return to Britain to continue to participate in the professional tour, and there are many opportunities to beat O 'Sullivan. "Give me three more years, and I will definitely enter the top ten in the world." Ding Junhui's confidence is reasonable. Now many agents in billiards are ready to sign with him, including Steven Hay, the gold medal agent of Endeley, who is known as the "Forever Top Three". Seven point similarity
Predict success in the future
Although Ding Junhui's achievements are not enough to make the world proud, many things from him are enough to prove that Ding Jia had an exciting day for all China people at the end of the year. A state of mind like Li Changgao.
Li Changgao is called "Stone Buddha" because he is as calm as a stone in life and games. In this respect, Ding Junhui and Li Changgao are very similar. What does Ding Junhui like besides billiards? "Or billiards." , he usually answers like this; "Do you have any other hobbies?" "Billiards." "What do you do with your friends?" "Play billiards."
Shooting fast, close to O 'Sullivan.
Ronnie O'Sullivan, who is ranked first in the world now, is famous for his fast hitting, which makes him a "rocket" in snooker. Ding Junhui's shooting rhythm is very similar to O 'Sullivan's. "Fast break is not just imitation, but a combination of superb skills and quick response," said Ding Junhui's golfer. Parents accompany his parents, and they are as famous overseas as Yao Ming and Yao Ming. Judging from the division of labor, Yao Ming only needs to play well, and so does Ding Junhui. Ding Junhui has to take off his coat during the game. His father must be the first to stand up. Facial expression like Handley.
"Forever Top Three" Steven Endeley's expression is as rigorous as his skill, and Ding Junhui's face hasn't changed at all during the game. A father coach is similar to a horse.
Ma arranged for a person to eat, drink and sleep in the whole team, and got a "Ma Jiajun" card. Ding Junhui's father Ding Wenjun also has his own training methods. Liang, another China billiards rookie, is also Ding Wenjun's proud disciple. It is estimated that Ding Jiajun should be established in a few years. Growth locus clone Fu Jiajun
Regardless of the time when he started playing, the father's devotion to his son, or the age when he made achievements, if the name and specific time are omitted, Ding Junhui's resume is almost the same as that of Fu Jiajun, a player ranked 10 in China and Hongkong. Self-confident personality is comparable to Jordan.
Ding Junhui said after defeating Mark Williams: "Among the top players in the world 10, Williams' skill is the most general, so it is inevitable that I will beat him. "This confidence between the lines is very similar to what Michael Jordan said on the court." Come on, see you at the free throw line! " "
From Hell to Heaven, Taste Sweet, Sour and Bitter —— David Beckham's Three-year Growth Course
On October 26th, London time 65438/KLOC-0, many people must still remember the match that England lost to Argentina in the World Cup in France three years ago, because Beckham was sent off for receiving a red card. Afterwards, David Beckham became a sinner in Britain, and the fans even accused him endlessly. But today, three years later, Beckham has become the greatest hero in the hearts of English fans. What makes the Manchester United midfielder "thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi"?
In that game three years ago, England and Argentina drew 2-2 in the first half and started for 2 minutes in the second half.
Genting midfielder Simone collided with Beckham, and Beckham kicked Simone's knee with his leg when he fell to the ground. Simone immediately fell to the ground like a bullet. The Danish referee rudely gave Beckham a red card.
Because Beckham was sent off for a meaningless foul, England had to play 10, and finally lost to the opponent 3-4. After the game, the British media believed that Beckham was the biggest "sinner" who caused the team to lose. At that time, British fans had forgotten Beckham's beautiful free kick and his wonderful pass to Owen. Everyone thinks that his performance towards Argentina is unforgivable.
After returning to England, Beckham's situation was even worse. In addition to the media bombardment, he even received threats and threatening phone calls. At that time, although Beckham was already one of the most famous players in the Premier League, he was only 23 years old after all. Fortunately, Beckham seems to be used to criticizing the media, and even his marriage with spice girl Victoria has been criticized. In addition, although he was born in London, he played for Manchester United, so Beckham seems to have lived in criticism and opposition for a long time.
In the following period of time, Beckham began to become mature. He knows that the only way to help him win applause from the fans is to perform well on the court. The star with the best right foot in the Premier League-if not in the world-knows how to make the best use of his wealth. With his efforts, Manchester United won the Premier League, the FA Cup and the European Champions Cup in succession.
Of course, helping Manchester United win may only make Manchester United fans happy, but Beckham's performance in the English national team is also remarkable. On June 5438+065438+1October 15, 2000, England played a friendly match with Italy. Eriksson, the new England coach, was sitting in the stands. Acting head coach Taylor publicly announced for the first time that Beckham will be the captain of the national team. After the game, Beckham sincerely said: "I am very excited and excited to wear the captain's armband. This is my most unforgettable game. " Although England lost 0-/kloc-0 in this away game, Beckham's performance was remarkable, which laid a solid foundation for Eriksson to entrust Beckham with the heavy responsibility.
In the 2002 World Cup European qualifiers, the English national team, led by David Beckham, made great strides, defeating the old rival German team 5-/kloc-0-0 in Munich. 10 On June 6th, England won the World Cup tickets in Japan and South Korea directly. At that time, England had to beat Greece and Germany lost to Finland at home to ensure the first place in the group. In the third minute of injury time, England was still behind 1-2. At this time, Germany and Finland drew 0-0, and the balance of qualifying seemed to tilt towards Germany, but at this moment, something happened. The Dutch referee gave England a free kick 25 yards from the opposing goal. David Beckham, wearing the captain's armband, bravely stood at the penalty spot. At this time, all the British fans were too nervous to even dare to go out. I saw the ball under Beckham's feet fly directly into the net of the Greek team.
So, in the end, England qualified directly, and the German team could only be relegated to the play-offs. At this time, England became a sea of joy and Beckham became a national hero. At this moment, people forgot the scene of 1998 World Cup. Everyone wants to sing a hymn for Beckham. On June 7, 65438, the British media gave Beckham the warmest praise in a prominent position.
