What is the statistical chance of Shane coming back from such a deficit with alternate break? Slim to none? Yu Lung on the hill
Pretty long odds , I don't think Shane plays well from behind he's a front runner

Did what I'm at work and it's blocked ughhh
Yu Lung ran into the 9 when shooting the 7, tying up the 8 and 9. The match was over, now it's 10-8 with Shane breaking.
Running out, bumped the 9 in front of the 8 and had to kick at it. Opened it up for SVB. 10-8.
WOW!!!!! YU had the 7 8 9 on the table. He made the 7 and ran into the 9 and the 9 locked up against the 8. Yu had to kick at it and he sold out. Shane is down 10-8 and he just broke and has a clear shot on the one.
shane still has breath 10 - 8 and he's breaking
It would be a crime if Yu Lung does not win this. He has been the far superior player this match.
jump double kiss and hooks shane...
Shane scratches on a jump shot. BIH with only 5 balls left wide open on the table.
Yu Lung wins 11-8 in what is a deceiving score, was not that close.
Yu is a great player but he has gotten very very lucky in the match. Alot of rolls went his way. He just had to jump the ball, double kissed it and got safe. Shane had to jump and the cue got kicked in. Yu runs out for the win.
Yep, it's over now.
Back in the day when 14.1 was the only world championship tournaments, there were multiple champions in a year.
Agreed. This was a thrashing. YL Chang was the better player by far. Even Shane's many AZB apologists will struggle to come up with an excuse for this loss. Of course, losing to the hottest player on the planet is no shame.
I'm more inclined to take a positive view of things. Shane was 5th in the WPA China Open and 5th in the WPA World 9-ball Championships. Those are encouraging results that bode well for Shane in the future against these brutally tough WPA fields.
Correct. It all took toll on him trying to comeback against opponent on hill for so many racks and opponent has stolen 3 of his breaks. Tough. at least as of now he has done better than USA soccer team which just qualified for last 16.. And if I am not mistaken Shane quarterfinal result this year is his best so far and an improvement. Next year he just has to do better.
Yu Lung played a better match against Wu earlier than this one. He had some trouble crossing the finish line here.
