The Snooker Champions League has started. It is a great joy for Xiaotong and the fans who have not played for many days. Because in the Champions League for the first time in the new season, among the top 16 players in the world, the world's number one Rockets , Trump , Selby , Mark Williams and other famous generals are all listed. Only Higgins , Neil Robertson and McGill are indifferent. As for the Chinese Legion, Ding Junhui and young player Fan Zhengyi did not register for the competition, Yan Bingtao withdrew from the competition, and his position was replaced by Ben Hancoen. The 23-man army was led by Zhao Xintong, who won two competition championships last season, and launched a challenge for the championship. impact.
The Champions League competition system is complex. The event adopts a short-game system. A total of 128 players participate in the competition. The champion is determined in three stages. In the first stage, 128 people are divided into 32 groups. Each group will conduct a round-robin match. The first place in the group will advance to the second stage; In the second stage, 32 people were divided into 8 groups, and the first place in each group advanced; in the third stage, 8 people were divided into two groups, and the winner of the two groups was ultimately determined.
This Champions League started at 19:00 on June 28th, Beijing time. As of the early morning of the next day, when I woke up, the results of the two groups 13th and 24th were not as expected by Xiaotong. The result was that the 13th group, Nian Fang The 20-year-old youngster Allen Hill, with his stable performance, won a thrilling victory by a small score and advanced to the second round. In the 24th group, the veteran Milkins , who won the Gibraltar Open championship last season, was very successful. Rejuvenate, play steadily, lead by the same small points, and advance as expected. The results of the two groups are as follows:
In the 13th group, young player Allen Hill won 1 and drew 2, scoring 5 points. If he wins more small points, he will also score 5. David Grace successfully advanced to first place in the group. The two sides played to a 2-level draw. As for the 1 win between the two, Aaron Hill defeated Stedman 3:0 and started well. He hit a single stroke of 100 and won in three straight games, while David Grace defeated Stedman 3:1. In terms of minor points, Aaron Hill led by one game, ranked first in the group, and successfully advanced to the same group. Ben-Hancowan scored 3 points in all 3 games with 2 draws, while Stedman only scored 1 point in 1 draw and 2 losses. The two of them were out of the round and should be practicing.
In the 13th group, young player Allen Hill was promoted without Xiaotong's expectation. However, what really attracted Xiaotong's attention and recorded in his small book was that Hill had a lot of problems in the battle with the masters and famous players. The conventional record is that in the promotion round of the European Masters last season, he defeated the famous Chinese player Zhao Xintong, who later won the British Championship and the German Masters championship, with a score of 5:4. This shows that he has solid basic skills and a technique that is at the bottom of the box. Still have a hand.
Looking forward, in the second round of the European Masters in the same 2020 season, Alan Hill defeated Rockets O'Sullivan , who was not very interested in young players, with the same score. He was an upset for a while and became famous in one battle. Because being able to win against the Rockets is no less than pulling out a tooth from a tiger's mouth, Xiaotong will pay more attention to him in the future.
Group 24, veteran Milkins defeated British player Lin Shanfeng 3:0, won 3:1 against Alan Taylor, and drew 2:2 with Andy Hicks, with 2 wins and 1 draw and 7 points. First in the group, he successfully advanced to the top 32. Among the players in the same group, Lin Shanfeng scored 3 points with 1 win and 2 losses, and missed the top 32. Alan Taylor lost all three games and lost by 1:3, while Yadi Hicks scored 7 points with 2 wins and 1 draw. He defeated Allen Taylor and Lin Shanfeng with the same score of 3:1 respectively. However, in terms of minor points, he lost one more game than Milkins and unfortunately stopped in the top 32.
Two teams in the first round of the Champions League. As a result, one old and one young, namely Milkins and Allen Hill, successfully advanced. It is gratifying. As for the second day of the game, at 19:00 on June 29th, Beijing time, the famous Chinese player Zhao Xintong will The 4th group made a brilliant debut. The opponents were , Michael Holt, , Adam Duffy, and Hamad Miah. Can Xintong top the group and advance to the top 32 as expected? The three games are particularly interesting. Paying attention, especially to Hughes, whether he really got the truth from the Rockets is also one of the highlights of the game. In this case, I believe everyone is impatient to take a look. The game is coming soon, and Xiaotong will be with you all.
