Crazy O'Sullivan: Playing with sneakers and a cigarette at the press conference

Sports + Special Reporter Rainman Report

2017 Snooker England Open first round contest, O'Sullivan beat Chinese player Zhang Anda 4-1. What is more interesting than the result is that O'Sullivan played in sneakers because of an ankle injury. . British media disclosed that O'Sullivan, who was warned by the tournament organizing committee, also showed his toughness and threatened to withdraw from the game. In fact, if you count the crazy actions and extraordinary things O'Sullivan made in those years, it is not surprising to wear sneakers to play games.

has been recorded in history with the chic style, and his unruly personality different from ordinary people. Take this "shoe incident" as an example. O'Sullivan did not back down and beg for mercy, but threatened to retire, "I may quit. The competition, because the organizing committee does not agree with me wearing sneakers."

O'Sullivan does have the courage to quit. In the 2006 British Championships, he fell behind Hendry 1 to 4 and got up and shook hands with Hendry. After leaving, he was fined 20,800 pounds and 900 points were deducted. Regarding the impulsive retirement of the year, O'Sullivan said: "I regretted it. I told myself what I did, but impulsive emotion controlled everything."

snooker is a gentleman's sport, but O'Sullivan doesn't care about it. . In the first round of the 2015 World Championships, he took off his shoes and put on socks on the grounds of painful toes, and finally finished the game with the shoes of the tournament director. The most funny thing is that in the first round of the 2013 Chengdu National Championships, O'Sullivan took off his shoes on the spot and shook hands with the referee and opponent after the game.

In O'Sullivan's "Crazy Collection", taking off his shoes is not worth a big book. Looking at the 2008 China game losing to Fu Jiajun, his behavior at the press conference is absolutely jaw-dropping. In addition to the constant swearing, the microphone was clamped between his legs, and he made obscene moves while making unscrupulous sexual jokes. The World Taiwan Federation issued a fine of 700 points and a fine of 3750 pounds.

​​Chinese fans are also fresh in the memory of the 2012 China Game O’Sullivan’s loss to Maguire in the quarter-finals. He walked into the press conference with a cigarette in his mouth and swallowed the clouds in public. When asked if he was in the UK In the same way, O’Sullivan’s answer is: “In China, you can do whatever you want.”

feels that O’Sullivan seems to be unable to make it to China. In fact, it is not the case. At the 1996 World Championships, he was dissatisfied with the tournament officials’ disrespect for his coach and slammed. To the tournament officials, he paid 20,000 pounds and two years of probation for this, and also donated 10,000 pounds to charity.

Not to mention tournament officials, even if snooker players will try their best to pursue the full score of 147, O'Sullivan still ignored it. In the 2016 Wales game, he thought that the prize of 10,000 pounds was too small and deliberately lost 147. This move was crazy enough Hearn, the head of the Taiwan Federation of Trade Unions, attacked: "This is not a crime, but you should be ashamed."

O'Sullivan is an unborn genius and one of the best "devils" who can play 147 in 5 minutes and 20 seconds. Masterpieces of masterpieces can also concoct negative events such as "shoe-off door", "smoking door" and "crude door". But no matter how crazy his actions outside the game are, and how long the "bad deeds list" is, it will not affect him as a phenomenal super idol. In most people's eyes, what does it matter if he is capable, even if he is self-willed?
