Masters Magician vs. Hornets Trump: The one that stuns the Rockets

The 2018 Snooker Masters continues at Alexandra Palace in London, England. In the quarter-finals, Trump eliminated Murphy 6-4. In the last two rounds, Quasi-God made a perfect finish with two consecutive shots. During the game, a six-legged invader made trouble for Murphy twice, so the scene of “Magic vs. Hornets” was added on the court.

In the first round, Trump defeated Chinese player Liang Wenbo 6-4. Murphy also won the captain Carter with the same score. Murphy is one of the three Grand Slam players born in the 1980s. In 2015, he successfully reached the top of the Masters. Although Trump is unanimously optimistic, he has yet to achieve a breakthrough in the Masters. His previous best results were the two top four. This year, as the world’s No. 1 Selby and defending champion O’Sullivan have been eliminated, Trump has become one of the most popular candidates.

Trump scored 57 points in the first game. In the second game, Murphy scored 52 points in one stroke, but Trump reversed it with 60 points in a single stroke, so Trump made a good start 2-0. The tug of war in the third game belongs to Murphy. After the two continued to attack, Trump won the fourth game with 61 points on a single stroke, and Murphy won the fifth game with 54 points on a single stroke. With 91 points in one stroke, Trump continued to lead two games 4-2.

Murphy stepped up his offensive efforts, relying on 95 and 59 points in a single stroke to draw Trump 4-4 in one fell swoop. However, the rest of the time became Trump’s personal show. The quasi-god scored 111 and 113 points in a single stroke. In the end, Trump won 6-4 with a total score of 6-4, breaking into the top 4 of the biggest invitational tournament for the third time in his career. In the semifinals, Trump will accept the challenge of post-90s star Karen Wilson.

“Similar to the first round (with Liang Wenbo), I won very beautifully,” Trump said after the game. At that time, his 5-1 lead was chased to 4-5, and he finally sealed the victory 6-4. “It was very messy at the beginning, and we were very cautious. After five or six rounds, the level came up, and we all played beautiful snooker.”

Looking forward to the next round, Trump said: “Playing Karen (Wilson) will be another difficult contest. His way of playing is more popular. I have reached the semi-finals and lost all, so I hope this time I can Pass. We are all eager to win, so let’s see what happens next.”

During the game, Murphy was suddenly attacked by the Hornets. Panicked Murphy dodged from left to right, and was chased all over the court. After steadying his mind, Murphy swung his club to fight back. The audience was amused by this scene and burst into laughter. In the fourth game, the Hornets made a comeback. This time, Murphy became smarter and gently waved the red cloth in his hand. The Hornets disappeared without a trace in an instant. Throughout the process, Trump sat in his seat and watched the magician vs. Hornets with the audience with great interest.

“Maybe this is the wasp that made Ronnie (O’Sullivan) dizzy yesterday,” Trump quipped.
