Chang Bingyu Wins His First Title! Zhao Xintong Goes No. 1 & Cheltenham Underway! 🌏 | S4E4

我觉得很多比赛都是这样。

I think so many tournaments.

我还是觉得他这赛季至少能赢三个冠军，可能四个，甚至五个。

I still think he'll win at least three, maybe four, maybe even five titles this season.

我就是觉得他没那么厉害，他确实很厉害。

I just think he's not as good he's that good.

对。

Yeah.

我是说，就像你说的，在那之前他已经连续赢了七个决赛。

I mean and as you said, he's he's won seven consecutive finals before that.

我们很少看到有人能让他情绪波动，这再次说明了常冰玉能做到这一点是多么了不起。

We don't see anyone get under his skin very much, which again, it shows you what an achievement it is for for Chang Bingyu.

显然，丁俊晖首次登顶世界第一时，有个中国选手站在顶端还挺新鲜的，而且当时中国没有其他像他这样的选手。

Obviously, Ding first topped the rankings, it was a it was quite a novelty to have a Chinese player at the top there, and there was no one else like him coming out of China now.

你觉得我们是不是应该习惯看到中国选手越来越多地占据顶尖位置呢？

You know, do you feel we should get used to seeing Chinese players sort of dominate the top spots more and more?

嗯，我

Well, I

我是说，我们显然看到了塞尔比，当最后一个，还有贾德，确实如此。

mean, we've seen obviously we've seen Selby when when when the last one and and Judd It's true.

贾德，贾德，贾德在上海。

Judd Judd Judd in Shanghai.

所以我们不能说中国选手会完全统治，但我觉得，我不知道一个赛季有多少场比赛，但我是说，会有不少比赛被中国选手赢下，尤其是这三个人。

So we can't say it's gonna be total domination from the Chinese players, but I think I mean, don't know how many tournaments there is in a in a season though, but I mean, there's there's you're gonna be a good few tournaments are gonna be won by Chinese players, especially these three.

吴宜泽可能还需要一些时间，就像我之前说的，去适应世界冠军的身份和期望，但他很快就会重新开始赢球。

Wu Yizuo is gonna maybe gonna take time, as I said before, to get used to the mantle and the expectation of being world champion, but he'll be back winning winning sooner rather than later.

对。

Yeah.

几乎令人惊叹。

Almost amazing.

我们差点忘了吴宜泽在这次谈话中，那个

We almost forgot about Wu Yeezy in this conversation that the the

我知道。

the I know.

中国选手太强了，以至于世界冠军本人都快被忽略了。

The Chinese players are so strong that with the world champion himself is almost, you know, an afterthought now.

他们的天赋真是无穷无尽。

There's just there's just no end to their talent.

对。

Yeah.

而且有意思的是，看看贾德丢掉世界第一后的反应。

And and obviously, interesting to see the the the reaction from Judd losing his world number one.

他有多渴望夺回来，马上夺回来？

How hungry is he to get it back to get you know, to come straight back?

他会不会因此受伤？

Is is he hurt from that?

还是说，他其实不太在意世界排名？

Or is he is he is he not really that bothered about world number ranking?

他就是想赢比赛吗？

Does he just wanna win tournaments?

他给人的印象一直是只想赢比赛，不太在意自己的地位或者历史成就。但是被张炳宇打得那么惨，好吧，说惨可能有点过了，但他确实是被打得挺惨的，那肯定很伤自尊吧，你知道，因为贾德也很喜欢赢球。

He's always sort of given the impression that he just wants to win tournaments, that he doesn't sort of brood about like his status or his legacy that much, but being thrashed, well, I don't thrashed is fair, but he was well beaten by Chang Bingyu, that must That's got to hurt presumably, you know, because he also does love winning, Judd.

没错，没错。

Absolutely, absolutely.

而且丢掉世界第一肯定很难受。

And it has to hurt not being world number one.

要是没感觉，那就不正常了。我是说，他肯定不会高兴。

You wouldn't be human if you I mean, he's not going to be happy about it.

我觉得如果特朗普退一步看的话，他其实是自己成功的受害者，因为排名系统是两年滚动制的。

I think if he takes a step back though, Trump, you know, he kind of is a victim of his own success, isn't he, because of the ranking system and how it works, the two year rolling system.

你得不断赢比赛，而且不是随便什么比赛，你得赢那些大赛，这可不是那么容易的事，对吧？

You've got to keep winning multiple events, but not just any events, you've got to keep winning the big ones, and it's not that easy to do, is it?

所以你看特朗普，他现在的水平还是很高的，还是能打进大赛的关键阶段，但就是刚好奖金排名到期了，然后其他选手拿了奖金，后面竞争就变得激烈了。

So you look at Trump, he's still playing to a great level, he's still in the business end of these big tournaments, but it just so happens that the prize money ranking comes off and then other players pick up money, and it becomes a little competitive later down the lines.

对，有一部分原因是这样。

Yeah, part of it is that.

我觉得没什么好

I don't think there's anything

让特朗普担心的。

for Trump to worry about.

不，这也有点天时地利的意思，对吧？

No, it's partly his right place, right time, isn't it, with these things?

是的。

Yeah.

说到过去和现在的世界第一，罗尼，我觉得我们在播客里已经聊过很多次了，但罗尼又一次批评了自己的表现。

Speaking of world number ones past and present, Ronnie, as always, I feel like we've had this discussion a lot of times on the podcast, but Ronnie once again sort of laid into his own performance.

他，我是说，你知道，他五比三赢了塞尔比，这再次说明，跟我们大多数人相比，他没什么好担心的。

He I mean, you know, he beat Selby five three, which, again, is not the sign of a person that's got that much to worry about compared with most of us.

但即便如此，当

But even then, when

我不知道赛后采访是谁在提问，但我觉得他们得换换问题了。

I don't know who's asking during these interviews we run after, but I mean, they've got to change their questions.

一直引导他说那些，比如这是种病啊，他打得有多差啊，还有他都不知道母球在干嘛之类的。

Just leading him down this path where he's just going on about, you know, it's a disease, he's such a bad player and all this, and he doesn't know what the cue ball's doing.

所以这听起来确实不太舒服，但我们已经

So it's like, I mean, it's not the greatest thing to listen to, to be fair, but we've

听罗尼说很多了。

a lot from Ronnie now.

不过他也说了，他承诺再打十八个月。

Mean, he did also say he's committed to playing for another eighteen months.

他说过一两次，他——你知道的，这挺好的，因为以前有时候他暗示过可能随时会退役。

He said once or twice that he's he's you know, which is nice because there's been times in the past where he's implied that he might be gone sort of any moment.

对。

Mhmm.

我是说，他

I mean, he

显然，他应该说的是，你知道，一边唱歌一边批评自己。

obviously What should be saying, you know, criticizing himself as he's singing.

我是说，我看了他的新Instagram页面，叫The O'Sullivan's，他还在上面唱歌。

I mean, I've seen his new Instagram page called The O'Sullivan's, and he was singing.

天哪。

Oh my god.

那简直太糟糕了。

It was absolutely horrific.

你看，这挺有意思的，对吧？

See, that's funny, isn't it?

那自我意识去哪儿了？

Where's the where's the self awareness then?

你不会看到他在新闻发布会上说，我这周唱歌唱得很糟糕。

You don't you don't you don't see him on the press conference going, my singing's been awful this week.

我就是不够好。

I've just I've not been good enough.

我打算放弃唱歌了。

I'm gonna give up the singing.

我是说，这个话题我们只能聊这么多次，但确实感觉他显然已经承诺参加更多比赛了。

I mean, there's only so many times we can have this conversation, but it does feel as if you know, he's obviously committed to more tournaments.

他打的比赛比以往更多，而且他喜欢打中国的比赛之类的，但找到稳定性肯定很难。

He's playing more tournaments than, you know, and he likes playing the Chinese ones and stuff, but still it must be hard to find the consistency.

我们聊了很多关于他是否还那么想要赢的问题。

We've talked a lot about does he still want it quite as much?

他肯定想再赢一次世界冠军，但他是否真的像其他人那样投入那么多时间呢？

He wants to win another world surely, but does he, is he putting, is he possibly putting on as much time as all these people?

现在有很多原因让罗尼不再是十年前的那个罗尼了。

There's a lot now, there's lot of reasons now where Ronnie wouldn't be the Ronnie of ten years ago.

我们也许不得不接受这一点，但他自己似乎不太能接受。

We maybe do have to accept that, but it seems like he can't quite accept it himself.

是的，关键是要把那一整周连贯起来，对吧？

Yeah, it's stringing that whole week together, isn't it?

这仍然是关键所在。

That's that's still the thing.

对。

Yeah.

我仍然觉得他这个赛季会赢得一个冠军，是的。

I I still got a feeling that he'll win a tournament this season Yeah.

在某个时候。

At some stage.

我觉得他会赢，因为他仍然展现出一些闪光点。

I think he'll win when he's he still shows shows flashes.

我是说，那场对塞尔比的比赛，尽管罗尼对此很不屑，但比赛中确实有很多高分表现，从零比二落后到最后赢下比赛。

I mean, the Selby performance, even though Ronnie was pretty disparaging about it, mean, there was a lot of a lot of quite he was a bit of heavy scoring in that match to win that match from two nil down.

这相当令人印象深刻，对手可是刚赢得中国公开赛的人。

That's quite impressive against the guy who's just won the China Open.

所以是的。

So yeah.

虽然听罗尼的赛后采访可能会有点无聊，但我觉得他在场上确实下了功夫。

Although although although it might be getting, you know, a little bit boring listening to Ronnie, you know, the way he's post match interviews, but, you know, I I still think I think he's putting the work in when he's out.

我觉得他在球台上花了很多时间。

Think he spent a lot of time on the table.

对。

Yeah.

如果他真的在寻找什么并且找到了，那他这个赛季就能赢一个冠军。

And if he and if and if he search for something and he does find it, he'll win a tournament this season.

你觉得……抱歉，我是斯蒂芬。

Do you think Sorry, it could I'm Stephen.

对。

Yeah.

我觉得值得仔细分析一下罗尼到底说了什么，因为家里听的人可能在想他到底在说些什么。

I think it'd be worth just sort of dissecting exactly what Ronnie has been saying, you know, for people at home listening and wondering what is he actually on about this disease.

这正好说明没有人能免于在斯诺克上折腾，有时候这项运动真的会完全占据你的身心。罗尼是史上最佳，这点我们都知道，也都同意。

It just goes to show that no one is immune to tinkering in snooker, and at times the game can completely consume you, and Ron is the goat, we know that, we all agree on that.

但他还是在寻找什么。他说的这种病，是指他多年来通过不同的教练形成了一种打法，他陷入了这种打法，一开始你必须投入进去，必须相信它才能奏效，才能产生影响。

But he's still searching for something, And what he means by this disease is he's adopted a way of playing through various coaching over the years, he's got into this method of playing which you have to invest in at the start, you've got to believe in for it to work and for it to have an effect.

但现在这对他的比赛产生了负面影响，突然间他有点迷失了，找不到出路，完全失去了方向。

But it's having a detrimental effect on his game now, and all of a sudden he's got a little bit lost, and he can't find his way back out, and the light is completely gone.

斯蒂芬，我正想问你，在你的职业生涯中，你觉得什么时候你的比赛状态会让你觉得够了就是够了？

Stephen, I was going to ask you, at what point, where do you get to it with your game in your career where enough is enough?

你是需要不断找人帮你找到那个水平，还是说只是为了保持状态，找到动力？

Do you need to keep seeing people to find that level, or is it just something to keep ticking you over to find that motivation?

这是个有趣的问题。

It's an interesting question.

因为，之后想想，教练能对罗尼说什么呢？

Because, afterwards, imagine what can a coach say to Ronnie at

这其实是个很难说的事，

this It's a hiding

对吧？

thing often, isn't it?

对。

Yeah.

我觉得，嗯，我猜他现在已经不和教练合作了。

I I I think it's well, I mean, I presume he's finished with coaches now.

而且我说过，我的意思是，如果我能打个响指回到我十四五岁的时候，就自然地打球，什么都不想，我肯定会那么做。

And and I've said I've said mean, if I could click my fingers and go back to when I was 15, 14, 15, and just play naturally and not thinking about anything, I'd I'd I would do it.

我觉得罗尼，这就是罗尼的意思。

And I think Ronnie that's that's what Ronnie's saying.

他就是想回到打斯诺克的那种状态，回到他热爱的那种打法，回到他十几岁刚开始打球时的样子。

He wants to just to go back to playing snooker, how he loved to play and and and how he started playing when he was a teenager.

就是俯下身，看到球路，打出去，让球杆自己发挥作用，你知道的。

Just just get down, see the shots, play them, and let the let the cue do the work and let the you know.

但当你像我一样，有过三四个教练，教你三四种不同的方法，那就很难了。

But when you've had, as I had, three or four coaches who sort of teach you three, four different methods, it can be very difficult.

几乎不可能，你知道，因为最后我得了神经紧张症，我，你知道，我都不知道自己在干什么。

Well, find it impossible, you know, because in the end, I ended up got the yips and my my you know, I didn't know what I was doing.

到最后，我在一场比赛里用了四五种不同的出杆动作。

At the end, I was playing four or five different cue actions in one match.

然后就是不停地寻找一点灵感。

And it's just sort of constantly searching for a bit of inspiration.

我觉得，你知道，你时不时会找到的。

And I think that's you know, you'll find it now and then.

有些局你会觉得，哦，这感觉真好。

There'll be frames where it's, oh, this feels good.

然后，是的。

And then Yeah.

就像你说的，有些比赛就是，它会钻进你脑子里，你出不来。

As you said, there'll be matches where it's just, it gets in your head, you can't get out your head.

我是不是这样出杆的？

Am I queuing this way?

还是我的后旋太长了？

Or has my backspin too long?

就是说，斯诺克真的很考验心理素质。

It's this, I mean, it's, yeah, snooker's such a mental game.

对。

Yeah.

当你处于那种心理状态时，知道怎么调整自己肯定很难。

It must be tough to, when you're in that mental state, to know how to sort of reset as well.

史蒂文，这个问题可能有点难回答，但你觉得对他来说，关键是怎么找回那种更自然的打球方式？

I mean, what it's a difficult question, Steven, but if you what do you think is key for him to finding his way back to that more natural way of playing?

有没有办法让他忘掉一切，回到最基础的东西？

Is there a way he can just, you know, forget everything and then just go back to basics?

我觉得你能做的就是多花时间在球台上，不断尝试，努力找回那种感觉。

I think all you can do is just put the hours in the table and just try and try and try and get that feeling back.

我是说，不管他50岁了，他有没有动力去做这些，我觉得，据我所知，他确实在练习台上下了很多功夫。

I mean, whether at 50 years old, he's got the motivation to do that, which I think he I mean, by all reports, he's putting a lot of work on the practice table.

对。

Yeah.

这是令人鼓舞的迹象，表明他确实想要

This is encouraging signs I that he does want

我认为这可能是唯一的出路。

think that's probably the only way out.

就是要不断积累失误，努力找回那种已经深入骨髓的感觉，然后摆脱他所说的那种‘病’。

It's just to just to pile the errors in and just just get try and get something that's that's ingrained in you and and get rid of the disease as he calls it.

我敢肯定，他一定厌倦了每天赛后谈论同样的事情，谈论他的斯诺克和那些。

I'm I'm sure he's he must be bored talking about the same day after matches talking about his snooker and that.

我的意思是，他只想继续前进，我觉得，而且，公平地说，

Mean, it's like it's it's just wants to get on with that, I think, and and and Get to be fair.

偶尔有闪光点。

Flashes of it.

确实有闪光点。

There's flashes of it.

我的意思是，你不可能像击败马克·塞尔比那样击败他，而你自己打得，你知道，像罗尼说的那样糟糕。

I mean, it's you can't beat Mark Selby the way you beat him, and you're playing, you know, as badly as as as as Ronnie said.

但到了下一场比赛，你就被常冰玉轻松击败了。

But then you go the next match, and and and you get pretty comfortably beaten by Chang Bingyu.

是啊，问题就在这儿，对吧？

Well, this is the thing, isn't it?

每次我们讨论罗尼的危机，其实还是在说一个能击败马克·塞尔比的人。

Every time we ever talk about a crisis for for Ronnie, you're still talking about someone that is good enough to beat Mark Selby.

就像我们之前说的，他的那些问题，换成世界上其他任何斯诺克选手，都巴不得有呢。

Like, he's the problems he has, we've said it before, are problems which pretty much any other snooker player in the world would still swap with.

所以其实没什么好担心的。

So there's not a lot to worry about.

只是罗尼身上总有这种肥皂剧的感觉，要是他没赢下每场比赛，他的反应就会特别极端。

It's just there is always this soap opera element with Monty where if he's not winning every match, his response is quite extreme.

他对自己比任何人都苛刻。

He's harsher on himself than anyone ever would be.

我觉得这也是他性格的一部分吧。

And that's part of his personality as well, I suppose.

我想这就是为什么我们经常听到他这么说。

I guess that's why we hear it so much from him.

是的，这对他来说很了不起，在他职业生涯的这个阶段，他仍然在深入钻研那些细节，寻找额外的优势，因为他还想继续竞争。

Yeah, it's a credit to him still now at this stage of his career, the fact that he's still going down those rabbit holes looking for those extra margins because he wants to still compete.

这才是根本。

That's the bottom line.

他想竞争，而且他真的想打好比赛。

He wants to compete and he wants to actually play well.

这也说明，像这样技术要求极高的运动，一旦你在场上开始多想，麻烦就大了。

And it just goes to show that a game that is so technically demanding, the second you start thinking out there, you're in big trouble.

一切都得靠本能反应，靠肌肉记忆。而现在罗尼在思考他技术的不同环节，这反而产生了负面影响。

It has to happen instinctively, it's got to be muscle memory, at the minute Ronnie is thinking about different elements of his technique and that is having a detrimental effect.

这件事真的很有意思。

It's very interesting this thing.

好像很多运动都是这样。

It seems like it's the case with a lot of sports.

如果你在场上想太多，不管是网球还是其他个人项目，你可能会僵住。

If you are there thinking, whether it's tennis or certainly individual sports, you're thinking too much, then you can sort of seize up.

你没法

You can't

思考，对。

think, yeah.

而罗尼的情况是，他是那种——我想我们得说，他是有史以来最伟大的天赋型选手。

And the whole thing with Ronnie is that he's one of the well, I suppose we would say he is the greatest ever natural player.

比如，他的职业生涯中，他从来不会在场上想下一步该怎么做，下一步该怎么做。

Like, his career, he's not been there thinking what to do next, what to do next.

他就像所有运动中的真正传奇一样，直接上场就干。

He's just like all the true greats in any sport, he just goes out there and does it.

这就是他职业生涯百分之九十五的时间里能成功的原因。

And that's what worked for him for ninety five percent of his career.

但事情就是这样。

But there we go.

我们拭目以待吧。

We'll see.

我仍然觉得你预测他今年会赢得某个锦标赛，这很可能是个不错的预测，但我们还得看看。

I still think that your prediction that he'll win some tournament this year is probably a good one, but we'll have to see.

我们之前简单提过吴宜泽，只是因为他没进入第二轮比赛，所以只是简单提了一下。

We've mentioned very briefly, Wu Yeezy, we only mentioned him briefly because he wasn't in the tournament beyond the first round.

他输给了阿尔忒弥斯·齐金斯，这个名字我们提过一两次，但显然是个大冷门。

He lost to Artemis Zissins, whose name has come up once or twice, but obviously a big surprise.

然后齐金斯本应该击败斯蒂芬·马奎尔，结果从4比1领先被逆转，最终4比5输掉了。

And Zizens then should have beaten Stephen Maguire, lost five four from four one up.

所以对他来说，这届比赛还挺有意思的。

So quite an interesting tournament from him.

他是我们之前提过一两次的选手，对吧？

He's a player that we've we've mentioned once or twice before, isn't he?

但可能之前不会想到他能打出这样的表现。

But probably wouldn't have backed him to do this.

不，我也挺喜欢他的。

No, I like him as well.

我对齐津斯有点偏爱，你知道，他是个年轻小伙子。

I've got a bit of a soft spot for Zizins, you know, he's a young lad.

他在场馆里总是独来独往。

He keeps himself to himself when he's hanging around the venue.

他非常专注。

He's very dedicated.

他看起来也很投入。

He looks very involved as well.

他给人的感觉不是那种天赋异禀的球员，但他有一项做得特别好，就是连续得分能力很强。

It doesn't strike you as the most naturally gifted player, but one thing he does do well is he scores heavy.

我们一直在强调现在连续得分的重要性，但这确实是职业斯诺克成功的关键。

Again, we keep banging this drum about heavy scoring nowadays, but it's absolutely the key to success in professional snooker now.

如果你能连续得分，不管对手是谁都没关系，而且他显然击败了世界冠军，这对他的信心是个很大的提升。

If you can score heavy, it doesn't matter who you play, and obviously took down the world champion, that's a big confidence booster for him.

对。

Yeah.

确实，像你说的，击败世界冠军，这分量可不轻。

Mean, obviously beating the world champion, as you say, yeah, massive.

你觉得那场输给马奎尔的比赛，当时你可是大比分领先，4比1，我记得好像还领先59分，结果却失误了？

Do you you think think losing that match to Maguire having been, you know, commanding lead four four one, and then I think it was 59 points up and and missed one?

对于年轻选手来说，这种经历会一直困扰你吗？还是说其实没那么严重？

Is for a young player, is that something that haunts you, or is it more?

你能从中吸取教训吗？

Can you learn from that?

而且，他一开始就处于获胜的位置，这肯定能给他带来信心。

And because surely it takes confidence from the fact that he was in that winning position to start with.

你得亲身经历那种结果和感受，才能真正从中学习，对吧？

You've got to be on the receiving end of those sort of results and experiences to learn from them, haven't you?

你懂的。

You know?

如果他不经历这些，他怎么进步呢？你想想，输掉那场比赛后回到更衣室，整个人都崩溃了，但他会变得更强大，会从中吸取教训，然后重新出发。

How is he ever gonna improve if he doesn't, you know, go back to the dressing room, absolutely distraught, having lost that match, you know, he'll come back stronger and he'll learn from it and go again.

对。

Yep.

对。

Yep.

这比赛挺有意思的，对吧？

Cool game, isn't it?

你能在这儿说，他彻底崩溃了反而是好事。

Where when you can be talking about it and saying, it's good for him that he's absolutely devastated.

但这话确实没错。

But that is true.

我觉得，没有什么比这些失败更能让人成长了，尤其是在……

Nothing builds you up like these defeats, I suppose, in in the

长期来看，你从胜利中学习。

long You learn from winning.

对。

Yeah.

没错。

Exactly.

你总是能从失败中学到东西，虽然这有点遗憾。

You You always you always learn from from losing, unfortunately.

对。

Yeah.

所以我们刚才已经聊到了贾德，他需要赢下那场比赛才能保住第一的位置，现在他掉下来了。

So we've we've sort of already talked about the fact that Judd, who who needed to win that to keep hold of top spot, is now off.

现在第一是赵心童，他领先的差距其实不算大。

Number one, Zhao Xintong is number one now by he's got a substantial well, actually, not much of a gap.

尼尔·罗伯逊还奇怪地排在第二，然后就是吴宜泽、塞尔比、特朗普。

Neil Robertson, weirdly, is still tucked in there in second, and then you've got Wu Yeeza, Selby, Trump.

但感觉赵心童会在这个第一的位置上待一阵子。

But it feels as if Zhao Xintong is gonna occupy that top spot for a while now.

对。

Yeah.

我是说，显然每周都有一些奖金很高的大型赛事。

I mean, there's some obviously big big money tournaments in any one week.

如果这些选手中有谁第一轮就出局，而另一位选手最终夺冠，显然排名就会发生变化。

If one of these guys loses in the first round and another one goes on to win it, obviously, it can it can change.

你还是得保持稳定发挥。

You've still gotta be consistent.

不能躺在功劳簿上。

You can't sort of rest in your laurels.

对。

Yeah.

不过，确实可以看到这五位选手，彼此之间的差距都不大。所以，是的。

But, yeah, you can see five five players there, you know, all all within touch and distance of each So Yeah.

就像我说的，可能只需要一次机会，你知道，贾德在中国公开赛第一轮就出局了，显然对他来说代价很大。

As I say, it could just just takes one you know, Judd losing the first round in the China Open was obviously, you know, expensive for him.

对。

Yeah.

对。

Yeah.

我们之前也说过，你可以赢一个比赛，但如果那不是合适的时间合适的那场比赛，然后下一场比赛第一轮就出局了，那损失就大得多了。

And we've said it before, you can win a tournament, but if it's not the right tournament at the right time, and then you go out the next round, first round of the next tournament, that's much more costly than

对。

yeah.

不过，顶尖选手之间的排名会波动得很厉害。

There's gonna be a lot of yo yoing at at the top, though.

我们可以看到，排名第一和第五之间只差150美元。

We can see that just a $150 separates one and five in the rankings.

对。

Yeah.

你知道，现在大多数比赛，你拿到冠军就能拿到那么多奖金。

You know, most tournaments now, you're picking up that for for the top price.

所以这五个小伙子之间会有一场非常精彩的较量，看谁能把别人挤下去。

So it's gonna be a great, great battle between the five lads see to who's gonna sort of be jostling one another out of way.

对。

Yeah.

感觉我们可能会看到多个世界第一，而且很可能在同一赛季内出现，这很令人兴奋。

It feels as if we could see multiple number ones well, we probably will see multiple number ones in the same season, which is exciting.

我们很久没遇到这种情况了。

We've not had that

确实有一阵子了。

for a bit.

有个很明显的事实是，辛彤和吴宇苏基本上什么比赛都参加。

It's gonna be an intimate fact that, obviously, Xintong and Wu Yusu tend to play in everything.

另外三个人有时候会挑着打。

The other three sometimes pick and choose.

有意思的是，看看他们这赛季还会不会保持这种策略，世界第一对他们来说有多重要，因为有时候马克·塞尔比也会跳过一些比赛。

Interesting to see if they still have that strategy over this season, if if the how much the world number one means to them, but whether because there's been times where Mark Selby skipped tournaments.

罗伯逊过去也跳过一些比赛，贾德也一样。

Robertson has skipped tournaments in the past, so has Judd.

武汉站还有很多值得聊的。

There was plenty more to talk about in Wuhan.

所以我们简单提一下其他几位选手。

So we'll just quickly touch on a couple of other players.

赵心童，显然，输掉了他在武汉的首场比赛，这是自2023年以来的第一次。

Zhao Xintong, obviously, lost his first Wuhan match since 2023.

他之前可是连续赢了两届。

He'd won he'd won back to back ones.

我觉得，能卫冕一次就已经很难了。

It's difficult enough to defend the tournament at all, I suppose.

要连续卫冕两次，那就更难了。

Very difficult to defend it for a second time.

对。

Yeah.

我是说，能打进半决赛，这表现真是太棒了。

I mean, just what what a performance to get to the semifinals.

他连续两年夺冠，然后又一次成功卫冕，这防守真是了不起。

I mean, he won it two years in a and then then I mean, tremendous another tremendous defense Yeah.

对自己的冠军头衔的防守。

Of his of his title.

我是说，显然，这对他来说就是那种让他感觉特别自在的比赛。

I mean, obviously, just it's just one of these tournaments where he just feels feels feels comfortable.

对。

Yeah.

这真的非常非常令人印象深刻。

It's very, very impressive.

显然，威廉姆斯在上一轮错过了一个很简单的蓝球，没能击败他。

Obviously, Williams missed a pretty easy blue to to beat him in the in the round before.

但是，是的，我对贾德·曲东的表现印象非常深刻。

But, yeah, really impressed with Jal Qudong.

有意思的是，你看，他在场上打得确实非常好。

It was interesting to to see, you know, again, just how well he was playing out there.

史蒂文，不说那些显而易见的，比如克鲁斯堡对你来说肯定是，你总是期待第二年回去卫冕的场馆或赛事是哪个？

Steven, without stating the obvious the crucible being the obvious one for for you, was what venue or event did you always look forward to going back the next year to defend?

我很喜欢大师赛的老会议中心，我在那里也有过一段非常辉煌的经历。

I'd love the the old conference center for the masters, which I had a great had a great run there as well.

我记得我前五次都赢了。

I think I won the first five times.

但就是，对。

But I just yeah.

我就是很喜欢。

I I love to

那你卫冕那个冠军应该没什么压力吧。

You didn't have too much trouble defending that title then.

对。

Yeah.

我喜欢，我喜欢那种大型的场馆，你知道的，我似乎就是喜欢那种。

I love I love the I love the sort of the the big the bigger venues, the big the big you know, I seem to like yeah.

克鲁斯堡，还有那些我转职业之前在电视上看过的所有场馆。

The the the crucible, the all the venues I've watched on TV before I turned pro.

所有这些大型赛事，我都迫不及待想去参加。

All these big tournaments, and I couldn't wait to get there and play them.

但是，确实，有些场馆我就是打不好。

But, yeah, you just there was venues where I just I didn't play well.

我也说不清，

I can't you

你知道，就是有那么几个。

know, there was a few.

但你会开始想，这是我的主场。

But start to think, this is my venue.

这是我的赛事。

This is my event.

没人能打败我。

No one's beating me.

对。

Yeah.

还是说就是一场一场地打？

Or was it just like one game at a time?

那肯定是另一场比赛。

It must be another event.

嗯，我是说，九十年代的克鲁斯堡。

Well, yeah, I mean, crucible in the nineties.

对。

Yeah.

我是说，九十年代的时候，我的烟斗和拖鞋就放在桌子底下，那时候真是好时光。

I mean, my pipe and slippers under the table in the '90s, it was like yeah, it was that was great times.

还有你的直升机在外面等着。

And your helicopter waiting outside.

现在我的拖鞋都拿出来了。

My slippers out now.

不过，是的，这真是个奇怪的现象。

But, yes, it's a strange phenomenon.

比如说，约翰·加东，他并不是以连续夺冠著称的，但那一届比赛，两次决赛，然后一次半决赛，真是太不可思议了。

Mean, like, say, John Gadong, he's not been known for he's certainly not a serial winner, but that one tournament, two finals, and then a semifinal is just extraordinary.

还有几个其他名字。

And a couple of other names.

嗯，利亚姆·戴维斯在第一轮击败了丁俊晖。

Well, Liam Davis beat Ding in the first round.

显然，丁俊晖可能状态有所下滑，不在最佳水平了。

Obviously, Ding maybe is fading a little bit from his best form.

然后他击败了加里·威尔逊。

He then beat Gary Wilson.

之后他只是以三比五输给了尼尔·罗伯逊。

He then only lost five-three to Neil Robertson.

所以，利亚姆·戴维斯一直，你知道，他是和另一个利亚姆，利亚姆·普伦一起成长起来的。

So, Liam Davis has always you know, he's come up along with the other Liam, Liam Pullen.

看到这些年轻球员在大赛中崭露头角，真是太好了。

It's it's good to see these young players getting on a a little bit of running in a in a big tournament.

利亚姆·戴维斯是个很有天赋的球员。

Talented player, Liam Davis.

我喜欢他击球的方式。

I like the way he hits the ball.

他显然，你知道，为了保住巡回赛的席位，一直在努力拼搏。

He's obviously dropped, you know, a battle to keep his place on the tour.

对。

Yeah.

但我觉得他很有天赋。

But but think he's I think he's got a lot of talent.

当然，你需要成绩来证明自己。

You obviously need results.

光有天赋是不够的。

Talent alone is not going get you there.

但他在这次比赛中证明了自己有能力击败顶尖选手。

So but he showed this tournament that he's capable of beating the top blames.

所以，是的，我觉得他是个不错的球员。

So, yeah, I think he's a decent player.

几周前他在英格兰公开赛上赢了我，那之后他显然信心大增。

He beat me in the English Open a few weeks ago, he's obviously taken loads of confidence from that.

所以……

So

我就说到这儿吧。

I'll leave it there.

一旦你击败了史蒂文·霍尔沃斯这样的高手，

Once you've got the scalp of Steven Hallworth

那确实是个了不起的胜利。

It's a big scalp.

霍尔沃斯这块大肥肉，真是够闪亮的。

Huge, shiny scalp of Hallworth.

不，其实他人挺好的，利亚姆。

No, he's a nice lad actually, Liam.

他的整体技术非常扎实全面。

Got a really good, solid all round game.

作为年轻选手，他非常成熟稳重。

A young player, he's got a very mature head on his shoulders.

我对利亚姆唯一的担心是，他看起来非常投入，我的意思是，从技术动作上看，击球后的随挥非常明显，我有点担心这会不会在将来限制他的发展，但目前来看，他正走在正确的轨道上，会成为一个真正优秀的选手。

My only fear for Liam is that he looks quite involved, and when I say that, I mean technically everything looks very pronounced behind the shot, and I just wonder if that will hold him back in years to come, but at the minute, he's going on the right trajectory, he's going become a real good player.

又是那个问题，可能想得有点太多了。

That thing again of maybe thinking a little bit too hard about.

对，他看起来就是非常专注于自己正在做的事情，目前这很好，因为很有效，但你知道，当状态不好的时候，这会不会成为他的阻碍？

Yeah, he just looks like he's just quite invested in what he's doing, which at the minute is great because it's working, but you know, when it's not going well, is that gonna hold him back?

我们也不知道。

We don't know.

时间会证明一切。

Time will tell.

我们快速看一下梦幻五人的情况。

We'll quickly check-in on Fantasy five.

嗯，当常冰玉赢的时候，我还挺得意的，但后来一查，其实我们三个人都选了他。

Well, I felt pretty smug when Chang Bingyu won, but then having checked, all three of us in fact have him in the team.

所以没什么变化。

So not much change there.

你们俩也选了赵心童。

You two also have Zhao Xintong.

所以你们俩都有这两个人。

So you've got both of them.

这是一场精彩的决赛，对我们来说很精彩。

It's a good final, a good final for us.

对，对我来说可没那么好。

Yeah, not so much for me.

我选的全是英格兰选手，特朗普和威尔逊。

I've gone English, all English with Trump and Wilson.

我选了庞俊旭，还有常冰玉。

I've got, well, I've obviously got Pang Jungsoo and then Chang Bingyu.

不过，我又看了一眼。

But yeah, just glancing down again.

当然，史蒂文·霍尔沃斯的队伍里肯定有他自己。

Of course, Steven Hallworth's team involves includes Steven Hallworth.

是的。

Yeah.

你知道吗，我在武汉这一周真是喜忧参半。因为我显然选对了决赛选手，赵心童和常冰玉，所以我在那里拿到了积分，但我在资格赛里淘汰了张安达，然后因为自己孩子出生不得不退赛。

You know, it's it's kind of bittersweet my Wuhan week because obviously I picked the perfect final Zhao Xintong and Chang Bingyu, so I picked up points there, but I knocked Zhang Ander out in the qualifiers and then I had to withdraw because of the birth of my own child.

真是难以置信。

Unbelievable stuff.

你让自己丢了分，还让自己损失了真金白银。

You've cost yourself points, you've cost yourself real life money.

太不可思议了。

Unbelievable.

是啊。

Yeah.

我觉得，你只能摊开双手承认，那时候就不该要孩子。

I mean, I suppose you've just got to hold your hands up and say, shouldn't have had the baby then.

这就是时机问题，

It's timing,

对吧？

isn't it?

对，确实如此。

Yeah, it is.

马克·艾伦现在看起来不是最佳选择。

Mark Allen's not looking the best choice at the moment.

是啊，那选人情况怎么样？

No, how's selection looking there?

对，我——

Yeah, I-

其实看到他这样挺遗憾的，因为他已经退出了接下来的一些比赛。

It's a shame actually to see him because he's withdrawn from a few other events coming up.

所以很明显马克那边有点不对劲。

So obviously something's not quite right with Mark.

看着挺可惜的。

It's a shame to see.

确实，是啊。

It is, yeah.

对。

Yeah.

所以我们当然希望他能尽快恢复最佳状态。

So we hope to see him back to his best sooner, of course.

说到即将到来的赛事，UniVet英国公开赛今年又回来了，当然还是在第五频道直播。

Well, speaking of upcoming events, the UniVet British Open is back for another year, live on channel five, of course.

史蒂文，这是不是一种不同的策略？或者我想说，史蒂文，如果你知道自己无法追踪抽签结果，每次都是随机的，那你会怎么应对？

And is it a different approach, Steven, you, or I suppose either, Steven, if you know that you can't track the draw, it's just random every time.

我想你之前总是说你不会看那么远，但有时候球员们这么说其实是在撒谎。

I suppose you've tended to say you didn't look that far ahead anyway, but it's also come up that sometimes players say that and they're lying.

对。

Yeah.

我真的很喜欢你们的赛事。

I really like your event.

我觉得它很特别，你知道吗？

I think it's different, you know?

是的，确实很特别。

Yeah, it's different.

我觉得我们需要不同的赛事，尤其是在英国，这样能保持大家的兴趣。

I think we need different events, certainly in The UK in terms of events, just to sort of keep keep the interest.

不过，是的，我确实很期待英国本赛季的第一场大型赛事。

But but, yeah, I'm looking looking forward to, obviously, the first first tournament of the season in in in The UK, sort of for some big tournament.

就像你说的，第五频道直播，明天就开始转播了。

As you say, live in Channel five, so let's start the broadcasting tomorrow.

对。

Yeah.

这次赛事一开始就有很多有趣的对决。

There's some very interesting stuff early in the event.

肖恩·墨菲对阵布莱恩·埃文斯。

Sean Murphy plays Brianne Evans.

沃克林对阵卢卡·珀塞尔，卢卡一直是个谜，而沃克林最近状态……

Wakelin against Luca Purcell, the enigma, the ongoing enigma of of Luka against a Wakelin who's been, you know, who's had such

克里斯·亨利表现不错，卢卡·布雷塞尔。

good Chris Henry, Luka Bracel.

他和克里斯·亨利一起回来了。

He's back with Chris Henry.

所以我们很期待看看这是否能帮助他重新找回竞争力。

So so we'll be interested to see if if if that does anything to sort of get him back to being competitive again.

因为我们都知道卢卡·布雷塞尔多有天赋。

Because we all know how talented Luca Brasel is.

他的天赋几乎不输给巡回赛上的任何人。

He's got as much talent as almost anyone on the circuit.

当他状态好的时候，看他打球真是让人着迷。

And when he plays well, he's irresistible to watch.

太厉害了。

Huge.

真希望他能重新回到那个状态。

Just love to see him get back to that.

他需要让自己的职业生涯重回正轨。

He needs to get his career back on track.

他现在在做什么？

What is he doing right where he is?

说实话，这简直太离谱了。

I mean, it's just ridiculous, quite frankly.

确实很奇怪。

It's very odd.

而且，看他状态全开的时候，那种兴奋感，就像我们之前说的，真是太棒了。

And the excitement of watching someone like that when he's in full swing really is, as we said before, fantastic.

所以我们希望他能做到。

So let's hope he does.

也许这次比赛他能稍微找回状态。

Maybe this is the tournament where he gets back on track a little bit.

约翰·希金斯第一轮就要上场了。

John Higgins plays in the first round.

那场比赛应该会很精彩。

That would be a good one.

马克·威廉姆斯对阵戴夫·吉尔伯特。

Mark Williams against Dave Gilbert.

你还可以在wst.tv/tickets买到票。

You can still get tickets at wst.tv/tickets.

而且，是的，如果你在英国，可以在第五频道观看直播。

And, yes, if you're in The UK, you can watch it live on five.

全球各地的观看方式详情，请访问wst.tv。

Details of where to watch around the world are available at wst.tv.

我要你们俩都来预测一下这场比赛的胜者。

I'll put you both on the spot for a predicted winner of this one.

我。

Me.

因为我也在签表里，为什么不呢？

Because I'm in the draw, and why not?

完全正确。

Absolutely right.

我觉得你可以相信自己。

I'd say, you can back yourself.

你生孩子了？

You've had a baby?

这没那么难。

That's it isn't as hard as that.

关键是，这种赛事，只要你能赢几场，坚持到后面，对，就是那种感觉。

The thing is, it's one it's one of those events where if you can just win matches and stay hang around till the Yeah.

到了周末，你可能会发现自己正好在对的时间出现在对的地方。

End of the week that that that you that you you could find yourself you've been at the right place at the right time.

有人出局了，你就给自己一个机会去拼一把。

People have gone out and give yourself an opportunity doing something.

这周就是这样的。

It's it's one of those weeks.

嗯，你看看这个比赛。

Well, you look at you look at it.

对吧？

Right?

你有可能赢得这次比赛，而且你可能不会遇到排名前16的选手。

You could win this tournament, and you don't you might not play a top 16 player.

对。

Yeah.

对。

Yeah.

事实就是这样。

That is the reality of it.

你可能会抽到任何人。

You could draw anyone.

所以你只需要进入

So you just gotta be in the

抽签名单。

draw.

没错。

Exactly.

对。

Yeah.

嗯，这很公平。

Well, it's fair enough.

我的意思是，两周后，如果我们做下一期节目，我们就会聊你在切尔滕纳姆夺冠的事。

Mean, in two weeks time, if we are doing the next episode, we're talking about you winning in Cheltenham.

那将会是

It will be a

很棒的，我恐怕。

great I'm afraid.

好吧，我的意思是，你有一个很好的理由不待在家里，基本上。

Well, got I mean, you got a good incentive to stay away from home, basically.

比如，换尿布和晚上睡不好觉。

Like, nappies and cannot sleep as night show.

别的。

Other.

我会去那家酒店登记入住，然后就像……

I'd be checking into that hotel and be like

对。

Yeah.

真的，你从来没有过这样的动力。

You truly, you've never had a motivator like it.

你在比赛中活得越久，除非你在照顾……

The longer you can stay alive in the tournament, unless you're looking after

不过你现在得为你心爱的死去的人赢一把。

your your beloved dead to win now, though.

对。

Yeah.

对不起，亲爱的。

Sorry, darling.

又赢了一场。

Another win.

不客气。

I'm, welcome.

祝你好运。

Good luck.

所以霍尔沃斯在切尔滕纳姆追逐终极奖品，不只是钱或排名积分，而是睡眠。

So Hallworth chasing the ultimate prize in Cheltenham, not just the money or the ranking points, but sleep.

在酒店里睡觉。

Sleep in a hotel.

不过，我给你个建议。

I'll I'll give you a tip, though.

如果你在酒店打电话回家，千万别对你老婆说，哦，我得挂了。

If you're in a hotel and you phone home, don't ever say, oh, I need to go now to to to your wife.

我有点累了，因为那会让她不高兴的。

I'm I'm a bit tired because that will not be going down well.

是的。

Yes.

这可能是真的。

That's probably true.

对。

Yeah.

你接下来大概

You won't be able

十六年都没法说自己累了，根据我的经验。

to claim that you're tired for the next, I would say, sixteen years based on my experience.

有道理。

Fair enough.

我们现在要接一些粉丝提问了。

We're gonna take some fan questions actually now.

而且第一个问题其实也是关于这个话题的。

And this first one is on the same topic, in fact.

不得不说，这个播客的粉丝们反应真快。

They don't hang around, I must say, the fans of this podcast.

这是多萝西发来的。

It's from Dorothy.

她说：史蒂夫，恭喜你有了宝宝。

She says, Congratulations, Steve, on the baby.

还要多久她才能参加女子巡回赛？

How long is it before she makes it on the women's tour?

估计你还没怎么跟她练过吧。

Presumably, you've not done a lot of work with her or not.

录这期节目的时候她还没去过你家呢，所以她的击球技术肯定还不行。

She's not even been to your house yet at the time of recording this, so can't her cue action won't be up to it yet.

对，这周我们在医院做了点技术指导，就是看看她的站位和击球前的准备动作，不过她还差得远呢。

Yeah, we've done a bit of technical work in the hospital this week, just looking at, you know, the approach and the pre shot routine, but yeah, she's a long way.

听我说，这周真是疯狂的一周，作为她爸爸，我能做的就是引导她，让她想试什么就试什么。

Listen, you know, it's been the maddest week ever, and all I can do as her dad is guide her and let her try anything she wants.

她要是咬咬牙选了斯诺克，那就随她去吧，让她自己闯，不过还是给她拿个网球拍或者什么的吧，对，高尔夫球杆也行。

With gritted teeth snooker is what she chooses, then every credit to her and let her crack on, but let's get a tennis racket or something that Yeah, golf club.

对，高尔夫球杆。

Yeah, golf club,

是的。

yeah.

网球才是正道。

Tennis is the one.

那行当钱多。

There's a lot of money in that.

不过压力也大得很。

Although, enormous pressure as well.

这个问题我们之前也聊过几次了，就是，还会有人能统治斯诺克吗？

Well, we've had this a couple of times, versions of this question, but will anyone ever dominate snooker?

詹姆斯又问了一遍。

Again, asked James.

看起来一个选手赢下四分之三赛事的日子已经过去了，我们说的部分原因是你这样的人，亨德利。

It seems like the days of one player winning three quarters of the events is done, and we're talking partly about people like you, Hendry.

这是好事吗？

And is this a good thing?

我觉得部分原因是，我们之前聊过，现在的比赛比以前多太多了。

I think partly, we've covered this before, there are far more tournaments than there used to be.

对。

Yeah.

对。

Yeah.

想要统治一个赛季，不管你是多好的选手，就是做不到像以前那样了。

The idea of Of dominating a season, you have whatever however good a player you are, you still it just can't be done in the same way.

对。

Yeah.

我不觉得，我是说，我觉得，我想说，我认为赵心童，如果他保持饥饿感，不断进步，他已经很了不起了，但就是还能变得更好。

I I don't I I don't I mean, I I say I think, to say, I think Xintong, if he if he stays hungry and and and and he keeps staying improving, he's already unbelievable, but but sort of just just gets better.

我觉得他有机会实现某种统治，比如一个赛季赢三四个冠军。

I think he's got a chance at some some sort of domination, maybe winning three, four tournaments a season.

但话说回来，他们一年要打多少站比赛？十四、十五、十六站？

But say there's what what do they play in fourteen, fifteen, 16 events?

所以没人能赢下其中四分之三的比赛。

So no one's gonna win three quarter of those.

我觉得，我们之前也聊过几次这个话题。

I think I mean, and we've touched on that a few times.

我认为未来中国选手肯定有机会形成统治局面。

I think there's there's a there's a definitely a chance in the future of Chinese domination.

这一点毫无疑问。

There's no no doubt about that.

但我说的是几年以后的事。

But I'm talking a few years up the road.

对。

Yeah.

我要反问詹姆斯的问题是，这得看情况吧？

My counter question to James would be how long is a piece of string?

因为现在这个时候，你怎么可能回答得了这个问题呢？

Because how can you answer that question at this moment in time?

目前看来好像没人能统治赛场，但谁知道呢，也许三五年后，有人会突然冒出来，然后开始赢下所有比赛？

It looks unlikely that anyone's going to dominate, but you know, who's to say that in, you know, three or four or five years' time that someone comes through the pack and, you know, starts starts winning everything?

你知道，就现在来说，我觉得不太可能，但也不是没可能。

You know, right now, I don't think so, but it could happen.

这稍微有点涉及到社交方面了。

This is slightly more about the sort of almost the social side of it.

杰克，核弹级选手在中国比赛间隙都做些什么？

Jackass, what does nuclear players do in China between matches?

你们是整天躺在床上，还是去感受当地文化？

Do you just sit in bed all day or go and soak up the culture?

我们知道，亨德利，你肯定很喜欢在中国，你参与得挺深的。

We we know that, Hendry, well, you'd love being in China, you've you've sort of quite heavily involved.

我想你之前说过，这因人而异。

I suppose you said before, it varies.

有些球员真的很喜欢那里，他们在那儿很自在，也很享受那种氛围。

Some players really like it there, and they're comfortable there, and they embrace the atmosphere.

而其他人，大概有些球员不怎么出酒店，就待在房间里之类的。

And other people Presumably, there are players that don't really venture out of the hotel and just kind of stay in the rooms and stuff.

其实关键在于，你通常只在一个城市待大约一周，一周到十天，而且你是去工作的。

Well, the thing is that you're only in one city, really, for about a week, a week to ten days, and you're there to work.

你不是去当游客的。

You're not there to be a tourist.

你知道，不管你在中国的哪个城市，比赛场地里的球台就是那张球台，你就是在酒店、练习台和赛场之间来回跑，去打比赛。

Know, you're there it doesn't matter that when you're in China, the table is a table in the arena, and you go between your hotel to the practice table to the venue to play a match.

你可能会出去吃个饭什么的。

You go out for dinner or whatever.

我觉得在比赛期间，很多球员不会去做游客的事情，也不会去感受什么文化。

Don't think during the I don't think during the tournament, many of the players are are doing touristy stuff and and and taking the culture.

因为他们去那里是为了赢得比赛。

Because they're there to win the tournament.

他们去那里，你知道的，是为了工作。

They're they're they're to you know, they're there to work.

那是他们的工作。

It's their job.

他们不是去度假的。

They're not there for a holiday.

实际上，你手上空闲的时间并没有你想象的那么多，因为你得花不少时间练习，然后下午还得想象一下比赛。

There's not actually as much time hanging around on your hands as you would think, presumably, because you're you're gonna be practicing a fair bit, and then you've got to imagine in the afternoon.

所以并不是说你有大把的时间要打发，我想确实是这样。

So it's not as if you're actually you're not there with days on end to fill, I suppose, really.

而且

And

实际上，说到现在的具体情况，我不知道你那时候怎么样，斯蒂芬，但我们每天被安排两次三十分钟的上桌训练。

actually, to go into sort of the nitty gritty of it nowadays, I don't know what it was like, Stephen, when you was out there, but we were assigned like two thirty minute sessions a day on the table.

你可以预约自己的训练时间，然后得等至少两个小时才能进行下一次训练。

You're allowed to book your session, then you've got to wait at least two hours for your next session.

所以基本上，你不比赛的时候，整天就是围着训练时间转。

So basically, your whole day when you're not actually competing is basically just arranged around your practice time.

我打完球，然后出去吃点东西，再回来继续训练，感觉整个人都泡在斯诺克里了。

I'm playing then, then I pop out for some food to get back, go from practice then, and it kind of is all about snooker.

就像斯蒂芬说的，到了那边，一切都是以工作为重。

Like Stephen says, it's all about work when you're out there.

对。

Yeah.

这大概跟球员们的日常安排没什么两样。

It's it's probably no different to, you know, the the routines of players.

在那边和这周在切尔滕纳姆也没什么区别。

No different out there to to hear Cheltenham this week.

他们一直忙着，日程基本都差不多。

They've been busy with the same pretty much the same routine.

显然在上海，那是个更繁华的城市之类的。

It's obviously in Shanghai, you're a bit of a more glamorous city or whatever it is.

而且可能餐馆的选择也更多。

And there's maybe more choice to to to for restaurants or whatever.

更有趣，也许食物更让人兴奋。

More excitement, maybe it's more exciting food.

我不太清楚。

I don't I don't know.

但我觉得，我确实知道食物更让人兴奋。

But I'm well, I I do know it is more exciting food.

这是我的看法。

That's my opinion.

所以，哦，

So Oh,

对。

yeah.

你已经多次表达过我的观点了。

You've given my opinion many times.

是的。

Yeah.

对。

Yeah.

但确实是这样。

But but it's but it is.

确实是的。

It's yeah.

无论你在世界哪个角落都一样。

It doesn't matter where you are in the world.

对斯诺克选手来说，基本上就是日复一日的相同流程。

It's just basically for a snooker player, it's the same routine day in, day out.

是的。

Yeah.
