Mark Allen, who has the reputation of "small steel cannon", likes to play offense and likes fast-paced games, which is well known, so in the case of seeing Mark Allen show a fiery feel in the first set, Donaldson took the initiative to slow down the pace of the game, and some obvious offensive opportunities will also choose to take the initiative to defend.
