Shane- "I pretty much got slapped in the finals"
- Thread starter randallt6
- Start date
in the first rack SVB missed an easy 6 and found himself watching a masterclass from chang. Shanes next shot came at 7-0. Shane tried to pull back at 10-4 but after seeing chang miss a straight 3, he himself missed a ordinary 6. Chang ran out the next 2 racks. After the match he admitted that there was nothing he could've done the guy played lights out.
The match that I'm sure most people on here would've loved to see was the semis between mika and shane. Shane obviously winning that (11-10) but it was a great game to watch. It had a bit of everything. Controversy where mika was first given a warning for throwing his chalk to the chair and then his second warning which resulted in a BIH for throwing his cue on to the table after the missed shot. It also had some very good safety play and both players ran 5 packs. Truely quality stuff!

How is it possible to miss in game one and your next shot be when it's 7-0
They are playing alternate break, aren't they?
Yeah it's pretty hard to imagine if it was alternate break. But I think it was winner break because it was mentioned that mika and Shane both ran 5 packs in their match.
Thanks lately they the international events were all alternate breaks I thought, guess I was wrong,Thanks.
I truly believe this has EVERYTHING to do with SVB's upbringing...he's from the mid-west...and in all my life and travels, the people from the mid-west seem to be some of the best around! I'm not saying there aren't "good people" from all-over, it's just my opinion that the mid-west seems to have a breed all their own...and that it seems to be more prevalent! :smile:
it was winners break. chang ran 6 racks on shane and couldve been 7 but for a mental blunder while positioning for a 5. It was amazing to see what this guy can do. Kinda scary to think that he wasnt selected for the chinese tapei team for the world team championships.
They are probably sending their second teir to get them some experience playing in world class events and beating everyone else in the world.
Chang Jung Lin, Fu Che Wei, and Ko Pin Yi are all champions in their own right, just as good and probably more famous than Chang Yu Lung. Calling them second tier would be like calling Bustamante, Orcullo, and Biado second tier.
Ahh, Yu Lung won it? I thought it would have actually been Jung Lin, that dude wins tons of major events and is the #1 player.
They REALLY have to get Wu back playing, WTF is it with Ko, Chang, Yang, Kuo and tons of other Chinese and Taiwan players playing their whole career pretty much all through and we get 1 year of Wu followed by 5 years of some goofy ban on competition or military service... I want to see that guy in the mix, what a waste of one of the worlds best.
