The 2023 ** Croatia British Championship brought an embarrassing night of sadness, with two 1 4 finals ending first, and the two champions of China's ** Croatia, Zhou Yuelong and Zhang Anda, suffered a counterattack in the seemingly leading situation, sending a painful blow to Chinese fans.
First of all, what is heartbreaking is the confrontation between Zhou Yuelong and O'Sullivan. Zhou Yuelong has not won in his previous five meetings, and this time, he almost completed an incredible breakthrough.
In the first half of the game, Zhou Yuelong fell into a slump, and O'Sullivan showed extraordinary skills, leading three consecutive games to put Zhou Yuelong in a passive position.
Although after the break, Zhou Yuelong launched a strong counterattack, overtaking the total game score to 5-4, and was only one step away from victory. However, at the critical moment of the decisive game, O'Sullivan successfully counterattacked with a difficult attack and a high score of 122 points in a single stroke, which made Zhou Yuelong regretfully stop.
In the other 1 4 finals, the duel between Zhang Anda and Wafei was also exciting.
Zhang Anda had an impressive performance in the early rounds, but in this match, he was unable to hold on to his advantage in the face of a strong counterattack from qualifier Wafai.
Zhang Anda's sharp firepower was eye-catching at first, however, Wafei did not show weakness, and equalized the score through a one-shot break and exquisite skills. Although Zhang Anda took the lead again after the break, in the end, his conservative tactics at the critical moment were cleverly used by Wafei, who successfully counterattacked in three consecutive games and won 4-6.
This double counterattack not only made Chinese fans sigh, but also showed people the cruelty of professional **ke.
Even in the case of a clear advantage, it is difficult for players to avoid facing huge competitive pressure and the inability of their opponents.
The British Championships, as one of the three major tournaments of professional gambling, presented fierce competition and thrilling moments.
The six players of China's top gram performed well in the top 32 of the main competition, especially the outstanding performances of Zhou Yuelong, Zhang Anda and Ding Junhui, winning glory for the country.
Although the two champions suffered a counterattack in the 1 4 finals, it was also part of their career growth. This game is undoubtedly a milestone in the development of China's first gram, bringing more expectations and confidence to the fans, and I believe that they will still create more brilliant achievements on the first gram stage in the future.
Although the sad night brings heavy pain to the fans, it is also necessary to give more support and encouragement to the Chinese first-class players.
Their strength and performance have set a glorious chapter for the rise of China's best grams, and these two young players will still be an important hope for China's best grams in the future.
We look forward to welcoming more victories in future competitions and winning more honors for China's leading cause.
