Ding Junhui's club height

Ding Junhui, a young hero: prodigy England takes the true classics twice a year to amaze the world.

In 2005, the international billiards circle undoubtedly belonged to Ding Junhui. In this western aristocratic ball game dominated by the British for a long time, 18-year-old China boy humiliated the famous British players twice. Ding Junhui has not only become a popular star in China sports, but also a dazzling pearl in the international billiards world.

Yixing is a prodigy.

1 April 19871Ding Junhui was born in Yixing, Jiangsu. This is a self-employed family whose parents specialize in non-staple food business.

When I was a child, Ding Junhui showed great talent in the game. At the age of 4, he fell in love with the popular "Contra" in China, and was able to go through customs, which was called a surprise by his neighbors. Even more surprising is yet to come.

In the summer vacation when Ding Junhui was in the third grade, there were two more billiard tables in front of his neighbor's house, one of which became a pastime tool for adults after dinner. The other turned into a children's playground. Soon, Shi Ding and his son became the owners of two billiards tables. One day, a passerby master and Ding Junhui's father Ding Wenjun started a war. This person is a professional golfer in Yixing Youth Activity Center, the best golf room in Yixing, and a top player in Yixing. In the middle of the game, Ding Wenjun's situation began to be unfavorable. He decided to go to the toilet to stabilize his mood. At this time, some onlookers encouraged Ding Junhui to "join the army for his father", but Ding Junhui took the joke as a fact. In the face of the thorny endgame, Ding Junhui showed his age-related composure. He first sent a difficult ball into the bottom hole smartly, and then cleared all the balls on the table in one breath, which made the spectators and opponents stunned.

Ding Wenjun, who turned defeat into victory, was pleasantly surprised. He realized that his son was a rare billiards genius. From then on, Ding Wenjun consciously cultivated Ding Junhui's interest in billiards and made him practice for two hours every day. After a summer vacation, Ding Junhui's skills soared and he became the undisputed billiards king near his home. Soon, Ding Junhui singled out the "Four Kings" of Yixing Youth Activity Center and went home with a great victory, which shocked the whole city of Yixing at that time. The reputation of "billiards prodigy" was thus opened. That year, Ding Junhui was only 8 years old.

Two years later, Ding Junhui has become a minor celebrity in Jiangsu billiards. At that time, he could hit 1 18 with one shot. On one occasion, he took part in a competition held in Nanjing Olympic Stadium. At that time, Ding Junhui, who was in the fourth grade of primary school, was short of 1.4 meters, and he often needed to use extra poles to deal with his opponents in the competition. However, the final winner was the little guy, who also got a bonus of 1000 yuan. This is Ding Junhui's first official champion since he set foot in billiards.

Ding Wenjun, a businessman, has a pair of keen eyes. He found that billiards would be the best development direction of his son's life. After weighing his wife and children repeatedly, he made an amazing move-his family moved to Dongguan, Guangdong.

1At the end of 998, Ding Wenjun's family came to Dongguan from Yixing to settle down. Ding Wenjun's purpose is to provide the best atmosphere for his son to play, because Dongguan was the city with the strongest billiards atmosphere in China at that time.

When they first arrived in a strange place in Dongguan, Ding's life was very poor. They crowded into a worker's dormitory with a poor environment, and every meal was a simple meal of two yuan. Ding Junhui didn't like Cantonese food at first, so his mother made him some hometown dishes to supplement his nutrition. In order to let his son rest as much as possible, his father Ding Wenjun is still in the corner of the ball room, separating a small space with a splint. After practicing every day, father and son curl up in it and sleep. In Ding Wenjun's eyes, those days were the hardest. The whole family has no financial support, and all expenses are old money.

Playing ball was just Ding Junhui's hobby. The hard living environment virtually increased his motivation to learn the ball, making money for his parents and making them live a good life, which became a major goal of his playing. Ding Junhui is very competitive. Soon after, he won the championship in a competition in Guangzhou and won a prize of more than 20,000 yuan. He proudly said to his parents, "My son can also make money, so you can take good care of your old age!" "

Two years later, Ding Junhui was admitted to Dongguan No.2 Middle School with high marks. At that time, he had already made a name for himself in Dongguan, and Ding Jia was once again faced with a major choice. This time, Ding Junhui chose to give up his studies. Since then, he has trained for 8 hours every day and enjoyed the wonderful billiards world. It was during that time that Ding Junhui became a great player and gradually became one of the top players in China.

The year 2002 is an important step in Ding Junhui's billiards career. This year 15 years old, training 147 points (full marks). This year, he rewrote many records of China billiards in one breath: First, he won the first Asian Championship for China; Soon won the World Junior Billiards Snooker Championship, the first world-class competition champion in China; At Busan Asian Games, Ding Junhui won the gold medal again, rewriting the history that China didn't win the gold medal in billiards at the Asian Games. In the subsequent World Championships, Ding Junhui ranked third, equalling veteran Guo Hua 1997' s best result in the World Championships. At the end of this year, Ding Junhui was awarded the "China Billiards Special Contribution Award" by China Billiards Association.

A new star, Ran Ran, rises in the billiards starry sky.

Ambitious Ding Junhui began to brew a new plan-to study art in Britain. This idea has naturally been recognized by parents. In the second half of 2003, Ding Junhui, who had just changed his career, set foot on the road to play in Britain. At that time, his world ranking was 128.

Ding Junhui stayed in England for half a year. There, he only trains and plays games every day, and his life is very monotonous. But for Ding Junhui, it seems like a duck to water, because he can enjoy the superb skills of the world's top masters at close range.

At the beginning of 2004, Ding Junhui became the first China player and the youngest player in the Wembley Billiards Masters by virtue of the wild card sent by the World Taiwan Federation. Ding Junhui was surrounded by the British media as soon as he appeared at the Wembley Masters in this capacity. BBC TV, The Sun and The Times, these famous media are all paying attention to this China teenager. Ding Junhui did not "live up to" the attention of these media. He unexpectedly defeated Perry, who ranked 16 in the world, 6-3, and gained praise from the media with his strength. A British journalist said: It seems that China people can not only play table tennis and badminton well, but also play billiards, which the British are best at.

At that time, international billiards world champion O 'Sullivan was on the sidelines. This arrogant guy doesn't usually watch other people's games on the spot. What attracted him was Ding Junhui from the East. On that day, before leaving the stadium, O 'Sullivan left a message to a familiar reporter: "Ding is a strong scorer, and my intuition tells me that he can become a world champion."

A year later, O 'Sullivan had a more comprehensive understanding of Ding Junhui.

In February this year, Ding Junhui went to the Wembley Masters again. It seems that fate intends to make such an arrangement. He actually met his idol O 'Sullivan on the battlefield.

At that time, Ding Junhui's world ranking had risen to 57th. Not long ago, he beat "day trader" White at the British Open and broke into the 16 semi-finals. But from the outside world, his confrontation with O 'Sullivan is tantamount to an egg hitting a stone. After all, O 'Sullivan is the number 1 in billiards today. He struck out five minutes and cleared the table in the first inning. In the second game, Ding Junhui relaxed and began to attack his idol. Ding Junhui seized the negligence of his opponent and equalized the big score. In the third game, Ding Junhui succeeded again and overtook him with 2:/kloc-0. O 'Sullivan really felt the pressure brought by the oriental teenagers, did not dare to relax, and finally successfully advanced.

This defeat did not disappoint Ding Junhui. After all, his opponent is O 'Sullivan, who is the hottest player at present. After all, he has achieved the highest achievement of mainland players on the world stage: the quarterfinals of the Masters Cup. This is enough for China billiards to remember a lot.

Surprised the world twice.

For the ambitious Ding Junhui, this is only the first step. In the past nine months, this boy of 18 years old has created a greater miracle. He won international competitions twice and became the most dazzling star in international billiards.

On the evening of April 3rd, Ding Junhui, who just celebrated 18 birthday, became the focus of the international billiards circle. He became the first player in history to win the international open championship as a wild card player. And won the championship at the age of 18. Before that, O 'Sullivan was the only one. After several days of fierce fighting, Ai Bodun, Fu Jiajun, Da Hedi and other famous players, and even Handelli, the seven-time champion known as the "billiards emperor", all became Ding Junhui's "ghost under the pole" without exception. What is shocking is that in the final battle of the third place in the championship, Ding Junhui actually presented two duck eggs to the tycoon. Gary, Ding Junhui's agent, witnessed this scene and sighed: "It's incredible, this boy is amazing!"

The most magical scene appeared at the end of 2005. Ding Junhui swept the British team in the early morning of 0/9 Beijing time, and became the first non-British and Irish British champion. It is worth mentioning that his defeated teams are considerable, including White, Perry, Hunter and the famous Davis.

British championships have a long history and are world-famous. Her position in snooker is second only to the world championship. Ding Junhui won this pearl, which means that he has reached a new height-one of the top players in the world. Davis admitted: "Ding's performance was excellent. He is better than me. " The British "Sun" believes that Ding Junhui announced the birth of this new dynasty of gentleman movement by ending the revival momentum of evergreen Davis.

Of course, the British Championship is by no means the end of Ding Junhui's billiards career. This young man with a soft face and a strong heart has set his sights on the world champion in a few months. He took part in this competition twice, and both failed in the qualifying round.

For Ding Junhui, the future of billiards can't be smooth sailing, but everyone in China will wish him this: bring more surprises to everyone.
