Tuhia he haere tonu mo tenei waahanga - I tiimata a King i te tau 2012 <unk> 13 ma te kore e tohu mo nga huihuinga tuatahi e wha o te raarangi. Ko te mea i tae atu ia ko te Shanghai Masters, i reira i whiua ai e ia a Zhao Xintong 5 <unk> 3 i te rauna kaari me te tino manakohia a Ding Junhui 5 <unk> 4 i te rauna tuatahi, i muri i te 0 <unk> 3. I hinga ia 3 ki te 5 ki a Shaun Murphy i te rauna e whai ake nei. I kite a King i a Mark Williams 6<unk>3 i te rauna tuatahi o te 2012 UK Championship, i mua i te tuku i te 3<unk>0 ki a Luca Brecel 17-tau-tawhito ki te ngaro 4<unk>6. I tae atu hoki ia ki te rauna tuarua o te Tiamana Masters ma te horoi i a Stephen Maguire 5 <unk> 0, engari ka ngaro ia i roto i te anga whakatau ki a Matthew Stevens. Kaore i taea e King te tohu mo te Ao Tuwhera me te ngaro i te rauna tuatahi o te Welsh Open me te China Open
He aha? I tutaki ia ki a Mark Allen i te rauna whakatuwheratanga o te Whakataetae Snooker o te Ao a ka puta he ohorere nui ma te whawhai mai i te 6<unk>8 ki raro ki te whakaputa i tana snooker pai rawa atu i te mutunga o te tukinga i te wikitoria 10<unk>8. I eke ia ki te 6<unk>2 i te waahanga tuatahi o tana whakataetae rauna tuarua ki a Ding Junhui, i mua i te hinga 7<unk>9 i muri i te waahanga e whai ake nei ka ngaro te 9<unk>13. I mutu a King i te wa o te tau i te tau 29 o te ao.
