Talk » were rebuilding to win now,

Ronnie OSullivan has told Judd Trump he must win the Betfred World Championship in the next three years or he may never get his hands on the trophy.Five-time champion OSullivan landed his first Crucible title at the age of 25 in 2001, at the ninth time of trying, before making it a regular habit.He considers 26-year-old Trump well equipped to mount a serious challenge for snookers premier silverware over the next 17 days in Sheffield. But OSullivan suspects the pressure will only increase if Trump, who was runner-up to John Higgins in 2011, misses out this year.Asked if Trump has what it takes, OSullivan said: Absolutely. Hes 26 and hes at the prime age now to push on, but if hes going to make it happen hes got to make it happen in the next two or three years. Trump won the China Open en route to the Crucible last year Once you go into your thirties and havent won the world title, and then theres a new batch of young players coming through from China, from here, there and everywhere, you can start to think that maybe I might not.The pressure gets more and more and sometimes its not about the best player who wins this tournament, its the guy who can hold himself together and play solid snooker.Its not always about playing brilliant match after brilliant match, its about steadying the ship sometimes and biding your time and pouncing. Stuart Bingham edged out Trump in last years semi-final While OSullivan begins against David Gilbert on Sunday, Bristol-born Trump must wait until Wednesday to tackle Liang Wenbo, the Chinese player who beat him at the UK Championship in December.World No 5 Trump won the China Open at the start of April, just as he did before his run to his first Crucible final. He was a semi-finalist at the Crucible last year, losing to eventual champion Stuart Bingham, and his desire to take the title is immense. Liang Wenbo first up for Trump this year Ive got enough experience now, he said. Theres no reason anymore why I shouldnt be winning here. Im not too young, Its not come too early now, so theres no more excuses. Ive had my five or 10 years of growing up.Ronnie won it when he was 25, which is quite old for someone that good, so if I win it this year or next year Im still not far behind him and hes the greatest player ever.Im still young but Ive got a lot of experience that people my age shouldnt really have so I need to use that now.Also See:PhotosBet ￡5 Get ￡20 freeGet Sky SportsKemba Walker Hornets Jersey .

Marvin Williams JerseyHeat president Pat Riley says he believes that Chris Bosh has played his final game for Miami, with the All-Star forwards latest health setback apparently convincing the team that a return from multiple bouts of blood clots is no longer feasible.Riley told reporters Monday that Boshs Heat career is probably over and that the team is not actively working toward his return.There is not a next step for us, Riley said. Its pretty definitive for us in our position.As to whether Boshs NBA career is over, Riley told reporters, Thats up to him.The Heat said Friday that Bosh would not be allowed to participate in their preseason training camp after failing a physical. The Heat declined to explain why Bosh failed the physical and cited a clause in the collective bargaining agreement that prohibits the team from releasing certain medical information.Speaking in a videotaped segment published online Friday, Bosh called the failed physical a down moment right now while pledging that everything would work out.Just because the journey has ups and downs doesnt mean I will stop sharing with you guys, Bosh said. So I will just continue to share despite whats going on.Bosh, 32, faced the first of two bouts with blood clots in February 2015. One that was believed to have formed in one of his legs traveled to a lung and caused problems so severe that he needed to be hospitalized for several days. He recovered and was averaging 19.1 points per game last season when the second bout with clots began in February -- though the ones discovered then did not cause health issues anywhere near as serious as what he dealt with in 2015.Everybody knows how much CB means to me and his family, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said Monday. I love CB dearly. It was tough to watch CB and his family go through this the last couple years. Your heart just goes out to him.In statements released in recent days, Bosh said he is ready to play and was written off by the team when the second bout with clots began. Riley strongly denied that assessment, saying the team worked to clear Bosh.We headed down the road very excited to a point where we thought it would work, Riley said. And then the physical couldnt clear him to the next step.The Heat were flying to the Bahamas on Monday forr Tuesdays start of training camp.dddddddddddd Riley said Bosh will not be on that trip.Bosh is Miamis highest-paid player, set to earn $75.8 million over the next three seasons. His money is guaranteed, though the Heat can get salary-cap relief in February 2017 from the bulk of that amount if Bosh doesnt return to the court.In February, an independent doctor agreed on by the team and Bosh would examine him. If the doctor agrees, Bosh would be declared disabled and become a free agent and his salary would be removed from the Heats books.If Bosh were to sign with another team and played 10 games, the Heat would be responsible for his salary again.Riley said financial considerations arent playing a role in the Heats decision-making.We never, ever thought about that, Riley said. If we didnt care about Chris, we would have played him in the playoffs.With Bosh out of the mix, that means 11 of the 19 players who got minutes for the Heat last season are no longer with the team. Of the starters from Miamis last game -- Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals in Toronto -- only Goran Dragic and Justise Winslow remain, with Dwyane Wade, Luol Deng and Joe Johnson all signing elsewhere this summer.Were rebuilding, Riley said. But were rebuilding to win now, and thats always been our attitude.Wade said on Monday of Bosh, This news about basketball is unfortunate, and it was not nothing that he wanted to hear Im sure, and nothing I wanted to hear for him and no one that loves Chris or is around him. Its another bump in the road in life that, from a basketball standpoint, Chris Bosh will figure out what he wants to do in life.But as his friend, Im happy for him that his quality of life, his everyday, is good and thats not a concern.After seven seasons with the Raptors, Bosh signed with the Heat before the 2010-11 season. He, Wade and?LeBron James formed the Heats Big Three that went on to make four NBA Finals and win two titles.Bosh, an 11-time All-Star, has averaged 19.1 points and 7.4 rebounds in his career.Information from ESPN senior writer Brian Windhorst and The Associated Press contributed to this report.
