As snooker lovers, we should be glad that Higgins had no talent for football when he was a child. He once told reporters: "I really played football, but I didn't play it very well." Higgins shrugged, but he was happy.
John higgins: One of the 753 outstanding figures in snooker, why is he called a "wizard" by fans?
From 1980 to 1990, snooker is very popular in Britain, and all kinds of snooker competitions are always broadcast on TV stations. The fair-skinned handsome boy turned his attention to snooker after failing to try football. At the age of eight or nine, Higgins began to pick up clubs and keep company with clubs and tables.
1992, john higgins officially changed his occupation. 1994 won the snooker grand prix, and his peak should be 1998. In the final of the World Championships, Higgins defeated his opponent with 18- 12 and won the championship in Krusburg for the first time, ranking first in the world.
Like Stephen Hendry in 1990s, Higgins dominated the world of snooker at the beginning of 2 1 century. Higgins was the best master of ball control in half a stage, and he also understood the word snooker most thoroughly at that time. Higgins' unique skill on the stage is to attack and defend reasonably and hold the ball stably. Although his peripheral ball may not be a shot like a rocket 147, it can definitely kill the game completely.
Looking at Higgins' unhurried clearance and the precise and delicate small-scale movement of the white ball, the audience applauded constantly and the opponent was helpless. The white ball controlled by Higgins hardly needs to be adjusted, and the next shot does not need to be spelled. All this means stopping somewhere and connecting comfortably. His judgment and control of the snooker line are very accurate. Even O 'Sullivan, who was at his peak at that time, dared not say that he could beat Higgins on the ball. So Higgins ushered in his nickname "Wizard", which is the highest praise for his ball control ability.
O' Sullivan has the most say in Higgins' ability, because Higgins really had too many quarrels with Mr. Fire. Mr Huo once said in public: Higgins is the only person in Taiwan Province who is not sure to win.
Nowadays, many people think that Rump, the number one in the world, is very accurate in hitting the ball, but if you have seen Higgins at his peak, you will think that he is not so good. Rump's hitting accuracy is really high, but the control and fineness of the cue ball are not very good. A lot of balls need to be spelled correctly, which leads to a lot of broken balls, but not many of them get full marks in one shot.
