Let me talk about my opponent from the side. 147 Don't say that a single shot can measure a player's strength. Don't always say snooker is an obstacle. After all, snooker judges whether a game wins or loses by who scores more points. The stronger the single-shot scoring ability, the greater the probability of winning. On this basis, both offensive and defensive are better. Defense is also to create a better chance for opponents to make mistakes. Some people don't want to attack.
Hendry's main rivals include White, Docherty, Abbott, Bond and 75-year-old Sanjay!
The main rivals of the Rockets are Endeley, Higgins, Ma Shu, Selby, Robertson, Rump, Murphy, Ding Junhui, Bingham, etc. Except Ding Junhui, they are all world champions, and some of them are world champions for many times. The most important point is that the career of the Rockets coincides with the peak period of all the above players in a large area!
Here's a digression. I recommend that friends who like snooker pay attention to the official WeChat account of break 146. The key data of various players in it are very informative and conscientious!
The following is a picture of how many times all the players have broken since modern snooker! The screenshot lists the top 22 players!
It is not difficult to see that, not to mention the 75-year-old Big Three, White, Doherty, Abbott and Bond can't be seen in the top ten positions in the historical list! Among them, Abbott is only 15 in history, and Laobai is not in the top 20!
On the other hand, the main opponents of the rocket career, the other two of the "75 Three Heroes" will not be mentioned. Even players like Allen, Fu Jiajun and Bingham are better at breaking 100 goals than they are.
It's not disrespect for predecessors. In many things, you have to respect an objective fact that the competitive environment in different times is too different. Davis, an old ball king, has won 100 three games, including six world championships, with less than a third of the rockets' breaks in his career. Do you think his offensive ability can win so many championships in the last ten years?
In particular, many fans of Hendry always mention white. In fact, he is not really a top player at all. The reason is that his three champions are pitifully few. Don't always talk about the sixth place in the World Championships. If he is really a top player, will he lose 10 in a row when he is ahead of the emperor in the final? Will you throw a simple ball to serve the emperor when the deciding game is super simple and can be killed with one shot? Don't say that he is gorgeous, but his achievements are not gorgeous, that is to say, he is full of gestures. O 'Sullivan plays well and achieves that kind of achievement at the same time, which is the real kung fu! However, blx Xiaobai is a frequent visitor to the world runner-up, which shows what others are like!
Needless to say, Third Sister, if Selby, Robertson, Rupert and even Bingham are allowed to play the two White Finals mentioned above, you will definitely accept the competition!
In the case that the opponent's strength in the rocket career is far better than that of the emperor, the rocket still won the ranking match, three more games, more masters of the British Championship, more than 100 147, and won the championship several times! Except for one less than the emperor, all the other major achievements in the World Championships have surpassed the emperor, and the style of play is more ornamental, with the largest number of snooker fans! I don't see any reason to put Mr. Fire behind, except for the die-hard fans of Hendry!
Finally, we should clarify the following two facts.
It is always said that there were few competitions in the emperor's era, which is true, but Mr. Huo was a retired professional player and took part in the competition selectively. At present, Mr. Huo is the one who has less participation in their career!
At the peak of the emperor's accuracy, there are few amazing mistakes. Actually, it has a lot to do with the pressure of his opponent. The opponent is not of the same level, so I can relax my attack. Even if I make a mistake, you can't finish it. In the same way, this is why Mr. Huo can destroy everything by playing Tachynia and Wilson in the final, but it is difficult to play Higgins Selby. The pressure from your opponent is not the same level, which will directly affect your mentality and feelings!
The awesome thing about the rocket lies in its wave after wave of welcome. Maybe he didn't rule snooker for a while, but he ruled his whole career. The unprecedented attack power and stability of his career have left others behind, making other old and new players feel over and over again when this guy will retire. The elders are feeling, and they are also feeling after 90 s and 00 s. The legend of snooker generation is doomed.
Unless the Rockets dominate for five consecutive seasons, there will always be controversy.
In fact, the history of rocket achievements is basically certain. If you win the sixth world championship this time, it is equivalent to reaching a new record of six Grand Slams plus 37 ranking titles, which is an unprecedented achievement.
But the biggest problem for the Rockets is that they didn't completely dominate snooker even for a season. For Emperor fans, unless the Rockets also achieve five consecutive championships, five consecutive masters and three consecutive championships, and two single-season Grand Slams, the Rockets will be useless.
This issue has been debated for decades. Rockets are like Kobe Bryant. Because of its unique personal charm and work scope, it has been vigorously promoted around the world. However, in the years when the emperor was short, the rocket did not arrive. Therefore, if you only look at the championship ball, you will undoubtedly surpass the emperor. After winning the world championship for 20 years, the world championship record will only be one short, and other records will basically surpass the emperor.
Barry hearn, head of the World Taiwan Federation, once said, "There are three kinds of billiards players in the world, one is Ronnie O'Sullivan, the other is Steven Haendly, and the other is other players."
O 'Sullivan and Haendly are definitely the two greatest players in the history of snooker.
So, who is better than the two? Personally, I think O 'Sullivan is better than Haendly.
O 'Sullivan and Haendly are two styles of players. Emperor Haendly is a typical textbook player, while Rocket O 'Sullivan is a talented player. As far as talent is concerned, no one in the world can match Ronnie
O 'Sullivan is called "rocket" because of his fast ball speed and smooth ball style. It took him only 5 minutes 14 seconds to clear the table in the world championship. This speed is incredible! Teacher Pang Weiguo once said that even if a professional player chooses any colored ball to hit the ball, it is difficult to clear the table in five and a half minutes. The speed of the "rocket" is evident!
O 'Sullivan scored once when he was 10. The percentage of 1000+ is unprecedented, and it is estimated that there will be no one in the future. 147 is also the best. Moreover, in the fastest ranking 147 recognized by the World Federation of Taiwan, the top five are under the name of "Rocket", and the top 10 is eight times that of O 'Sullivan.
Haendly was the first man in history when he retired on 20 12, but now O 'Sullivan has won the world championship again, and there are already 20 champions in the three competitions. Except that the World Championships are still behind Hendry, others have surpassed Hendry in an all-round way. Haendly retired on 20 12, and his performance has already been fixed. However, O 'Sullivan is still at the peak of snooker in the world, and there are still opportunities to further expand his advantages in the future. History first is indisputable!
O 'Sullivan and Haendly played 56 times directly, and the record of the Rockets against the Emperor was 30 wins, 5 draws, 2 1 negative. O 'Sullivan has obvious advantages, and the difference between them is only six years. This age difference can be ignored in billiards, a sport that does not require strenuous exercise, not to mention bullying the emperor in the later stage or bullying him in the early stage. In fact, Haendly was only 43 when he retired. He is not old for a snooker player. Look at O 'Sullivan, who is 45 years old now and can win the World Championship. Do you need to say more about which is higher or lower?
Compared with Haendly, who cultivated orthodoxy, O 'Sullivan has a more distinct personality. When he was young, he was addicted to alcohol, drugs and rock music (is this a common problem for many rebellious geniuses? ) He is also very headstrong in the competition. He deliberately gave up full marks in the competition and scored a single shot 146. He even said that he was not a professional snooker player, and his attitude towards the profession was quite casual. He has given up many games, but genius is genius. O 'Sullivan is a talented player that has never been seen in the world, and he can become the greatest player in the history of world snooker with such a casual attitude.
Haendly is the emperor, but the emperor has become a thing of the past, and now O 'Sullivan is the first in the history of snooker in the world!
Haendly and O 'Sullivan are six years apart. Who is better?
Haendly was born in 1969, a scot, and was called the billiards emperor. 198 1 year played snooker, and in 83 16-year-old youth won the national championship. 16 years and 3 months, becoming the youngest player ever to change careers. A * * * won 36 ranking championships, including 5 British championships and 7 world championships. He suddenly announced his retirement on 12 Youth Day. With the rise of billiards fever in China, people who play billiards and watch games are deeply impressed by the emperor's textbook-like hitting snooker balls. The title of emperor in billiards can be called for nothing from time to time.
Born in 1975, O 'Sullivan is an Englishman, known as the Tsar and the Rocket. It is recognized as the most talented snooker player. 15 years old, world youth championship champion, 147 full score. O 'Sullivan, 17 years old, champion of the British Championship, won the sixth World Championship trophy today. He won 73 championships in his career, with a perfect score of 15 times 147, and was the only snooker player who broke 1000+ in one stroke. He has the best technique, fast, accurate and steady hitting, and free and easy personality. He is a once-in-a-century master.
O 'Sullivan said that Haendly is more eager to win than ordinary people, and he will not stop. He is definitely the greatest player of our time.
Haendly said that O 'Sullivan is the most talented snooker player I have ever seen, and his hitting and moving are perfect. What he has is actually not a skill, but witchcraft, a magical power that makes ordinary people fall behind.
The first man in rocket history
O 'Sullivan won the world championship again, and there will be controversy as the first person in history.
Whether the evaluation is the first person in history depends on many factors:
1, its contribution to billiards is slightly better than that of Haendly.
Haendly's strength and personal charm make more people understand and contact billiards and make billiards more popular all over the world. On the one hand, this contribution is due to the players' personal ability, on the other hand, it is a hero created by the times. In that era when billiards was not very popular, Haendly's greatness was an achievement.
2. The psychological attributes of players are better than those of Haendly.
Haendly strives for every goal and takes every game seriously, which makes him look harder to beat.
However, O 'Sullivan's personality determines that he can play whatever he wants when he is in a good mood, and play a little casually when he is in a bad mood, even deliberately not scoring goals, which ruined the situation of 147. This is actually not a very good phenomenon. But it is O 'Sullivan's personality that makes many people like him more.
O 'Sullivan said after the game: "It was the atmosphere of a small audience that helped him win the championship." This sentence also confirms O 'Sullivan's own admission that it is easier to be disturbed by the outside world, affecting his own level, and it is easier to play his own level in the case of ice, which should not be one of the best in history.
As a competitive game, Haendly is more focused and undoubtedly has fewer loopholes. At least, he will not be easily lost by his own emotions and the intentional interference of his opponents. It's hard for anyone to beat Haendly as long as they play their normal level.
It seems that O 'Sullivan plays football better.
O 'Sullivan's style of play is very attractive, and his skills are even more difficult to meet. His gift of playing with both hands makes him even more unique.
4. The number of wins is equal to the winning rate.
O 'Sullivan won the championship, but the winning percentage was not as good as that of Haendly.
The fans have the same love for each other, one is the billiards emperor, and the other is the genius who will never leave the world. Be sought after by fans of different times.
On the whole, the battle for the first place in history between the two men will not disappear with O 'Sullivan's victory, and I believe the battle for the first place in history will continue to exist.
Ugly people do more mischief. All the achievements prove that the rocket dumped the emperor for several blocks. Why does the emperor have to walk all the way before he can be crushed? According to this logic, the emperor and the rocket can't even cross Jeter. They won six championships in a single season and broke 100 in a single season 103. Does this mean that they are not as good as Jeter and Rob?
