On April 11, the snooker World Championship qualification match was in full swing, the fourth seeded player Gould played against hu gil, who was only 77th in the world ranking, the strength gap of this event was huge, but it was unexpectedly broken, NO.20 Guld was killed by the opponent Hu Gil, and finally regrettably withdrew. After the game, the whole game caused great controversy, and although Hugel was able to qualify, his way of playing made many fans unhappy.
Originally, Gould was one of the top two masters in the qualifiers, most fans predicted that he would reach the fourth round before the game, and the opponent was slightly inferior, so many fans expected this to be a one-sided game, but they did not expect Gould to break the big cold, following David Leary's 6-1 defeat of TOP.36 Maflin, another game that surprised the fans appeared.
Looking back at the performance on the field, Gould started hot, three consecutive wins were in the upper hand, and then Gould held the advantage 5-2 to get the match point, at this time most fans thought that the result would no longer have suspense, did not expect the situation on the field to reverse, Hu gil won three consecutive wins to equalize the score, the decider, Hu gil in the case of a bad goal super point mistake failed to let the black ball into the bag, gave Gould the opportunity to turn over, the result of the key moment Gurd dropped the chain, Hu gil spelled the bench to lock the victory.
The whole game took about 5 and a half hours, after the game, the promotion of Hugel caused a huge controversy, because his average playing time reached 32.91 seconds, and its speed even made Selby, known as the "fourth generation of grinding king", difficult to reach, refreshing the fans' understanding of the grinding control tactics, it is reported that Gould's average shooting time is 22 seconds, which makes the comparison of on-field performance more obvious.
The reason why Hurgil's promotion will cause controversy is because Gould has a clear advantage in the early stages, and then Hurgil used grinding tactics to change the direction of the game, from the ninth inning, Hurgil's speed is getting slower and slower, not only Gould has lost patience, but even the commentary watching the game and some fans have not complained less.
