吴宜泽斯诺克世锦赛夺冠背后：家人的牺牲成就其冠军之路 - BBC News 中文
斯诺克界迎来新一位超级新星 -- -- 又一位来自中国的世界冠军。 一年前，赵心童捧起奖杯，为他的国家创下了历史。本周一，吴宜泽在谢菲尔德克鲁斯堡剧院举行的一场决赛中，以18比17击败了尚恩·墨菲（Shaun Murphy）。 对这位22岁年轻人而言，这是格外令人动容的时刻。16岁的时候，他与父亲从家乡兰州移居英国，尽管担心母亲的健康，他仍然努力追求自己的梦想。 "我妈妈的身体状况一直不太好，"他说， "在我们住在谢菲尔德的那段时间，她经常住院。她永远是我的精神支柱。" "现在她的情况好多了。这是她第二次来英国探望我。我想未来我会经常带她来，让她待在我身边。" "她为我牺牲了一切。当时她对我说：'不要回家，我可以应付所有的事情。'那是我在英国打球的第二年。" "当时我的排名很低，所以那是一个关键的时期，我必须取得好的成绩，才能保住职业资格。她对我来说就是一切。" 吴宜泽在记者会上透过翻译分享，为了努力开创职业斯诺克的生涯，当年他与父亲在"钢铁之城"谢菲尔德一间没有窗户的小公寓里，睡在同一张床。 然而，在这项以正式着装与规矩严明著称的运动中，他充满进攻性的风格与个性，使他脱颖而出。 七届世界冠军朗尼·奥沙利文（Ronnie O'Sullivan）以及曾于2005年夺冠的墨菲，都在本赛季早些时候预测他将会成为未来的世界冠军。 世界职业台球与斯诺克协会主席杰森·弗格森（Jason Ferguson）表示，吴宜泽及其他新星具备改变这项运动的能力，甚至能带来"潮流的转变"。 他对BBC体育表示："这个年轻人非常出色。我认识吴宜泽多年，也认识他的父亲多年，见证了他们一路走来的挣扎和艰苦奋斗。" "你无法想像这对那个家庭来说意味着什么，当他们真正站在赛场上，手捧奖杯的时候。那真是一个非凡的时刻。我们正在见证潮流的转变，而这种转变是必然会发生的。" "吴宜泽如今正踏入成为伟大球员的时代，未来他有能力不断赢下去。" 吴宜泽被视为新一代球员的代表之一，正逐步塑造这项运动的未来。 在谢菲尔德为国际体育记者协会提供报导的赵梅（May Zhao，音译）表示："这不仅会被视为又一场体育的胜利，而是更宏大世代叙事的一部分，延续赵心童的突破。" "这标志着中国斯诺克在最高水平赛事进入了一个新时代。" "中国的反应将极为热烈。在比赛高峰时段，观看人数可能超过1亿人。" 12个月前，赵心童的夺冠被视为是中国斯诺克的里程碑时刻。 吴宜泽紧随其后，似乎意味着这个亚洲国家的球员正迎来黄金时期，也可能为整个运动揭开新的篇章。 去年11月，吴宜泽在南京斯诺克国际锦标赛夺冠，成为其职业生涯的重要突破，并将世界排名提升至当时个人最高的第13位。 为斯诺克世锦赛工作的中国斯诺克记者乔·刘（Joe Liu）表示："在那次夺冠之后，他获得甘肃省副省长接见，而这次的规模将远超那次。" "兰州是甘肃省省会，并非一个拥有深厚体育传统或突出成就的城市，因此这对他的家乡而言意义重大。" "在我与他接触的过程中，无论是在各项赛事上，我都能感受到他的自信。他非常有自信，而且我认为他知道自己未来还能走得更远。" 吴宜泽赢得世界冠军后，排名跃升至世界第四，这进一步强化外界的看法：未来数年，中国球员可能在这项运动中占据主导地位，并带来一种全新的斯诺克风格。 六届世界冠军史蒂夫·戴维斯（Steve Davis）在BBC电视转播决赛时表示："这项运动正在改变，击球的选择正在改变，像吴宜泽这样的球员正以更具进攻性的方式，改写斯诺克的面貌。" "新一代球员必须效仿这种风格。单靠保守打法是无法取胜的。" 七届世界冠军亨德利（Stephen Hendry）则补充说："他实在太出色了。他打球方式很规范，该进攻就进攻。" "显然他正处于职业生涯的一个阶段，他尚未经历太多挫败，也不会过份顾虑失误的后果。他就是放手去打，而且乐在其中。" 在2024至25赛季，中国球员在职业巡回赛中三度获胜。今个赛季，在23项赛事中，这个数字上升至七冠，尽管这些冠军主要由三名球员所得 -- -- 赵心童、肖国栋与吴宜泽。 而且，这些并不是唯一呈现上升趋势的数字。 晋级世界锦标赛电视转播阶段的中国球员人数，亦由2025年的破纪录10人，上升至今年的11人。 在去年赛事开赛前，世界排名前16名中仅有四位中国球员 -- -- 丁俊晖、张安达、肖国栋与斯佳辉。 而今年则增至五人，赵心童与吴宜泽加入其中，张安达则跌出榜单。此外，下一季将有10名中国球员位列世界前32。 12个月前，世界排名前五位的球员全部来自英国，但现在的情况已经不同了。 尽管约翰·希金斯（John Higgins）本季在谢菲尔德打入四强，并闯入大师赛决赛，但"92黄金一代"成员最近一次赢得斯诺克（Triple Crown）冠军，仍要追溯至2024年1月，当时朗尼·奥沙利文在亚历山德拉宫（Alexandra Palace）夺冠。 弗格森表示："球员能在最佳状态下发挥的时间是有限的。" "如今有更多具实力的选手在追赶他们，也有更多球员具备夺冠能力。我们已看到年轻一代出重大的变化。现在有多名球员能够击败'92黄金一代'，并一路走到最后后。" 乔·刘亦呼应上述观点，并补充说："他几乎比那些球员年轻30岁，因此我们确实正在见证一个时代的更替。" "许多球员已预测，未来约10年间，赵心童将处于主导地位；但如果吴宜泽在未来两三年持续进步，他完全有能力与赵一起上去。" 不过，值得注意的是，英格兰球员马克·塞尔比（Mark Selby）与凯伦·威尔逊（Kyren Wilson）合共拥有五座世界冠军头衔，在本赛季亦已获得五项赛事冠军，包括另外两项三大赛 -- -- 英国锦标赛与大师赛。.
