In the early morning of April 29, Beijing time, the second semi-final of the Snooker World Championship began, Higgins and O'Sullivan staged a strong dialogue, both are legends, and they are also one of the 75 three masters, but the style between the two is different, and the way of playing is also different.
In the first three sets, the rhythm of the game was completely controlled by Higgins, the wizard Higgins was like a magic spell, making the opponent O'Sullivan make mistakes, the game was completely cut, it was all chaotic, no doubt, Higgins was better at handling this situation, 76-53, 69-46, 87-32, Higgins won three consecutive sets, the dream opened.
At this time, Higgins has a smile on his face, he is very satisfied with the current rhythm and way of playing, O'Sullivan is extremely uncomfortable, after all, O'Sullivan is known as a "rocket", fast-paced games belong to O'Sullivan, unfortunately, the rhythm of the first three sets belongs to Higgins.
However, in the fourth set, O'Sullivan finally played a smooth attack, winning by 70 points in a single shot, and finally won the first set of the semi-final.
O'Sullivan's smooth attack and wonderful goals at key points caused continuous applause from the audience, at which point Higgins's face in the seat also changed: from a smile to a serious one.
As a decades-old professional snooker opponent, Higgins understands that O'Sullivan has fully opened up, and if he continues to let him play like this, the 3-set advantage he has built up will soon be wiped out.
Sure enough, O'Sullivan completely let go of his hands and feet, winning 99-1 in the fifth set, and hitting another 50+ and a single 54 points, continuing to ignite the enthusiasm of the audience.
