In the second stage, the Chinese warriors won the 9th game, but then, the "old driver" scored 74 points in a single stroke and won 3 games in a row, leading 7-5 into the halftime break. After returning from the break, Zhang Anda seized the opportunity to return a wave of three consecutive whips, and the big score was 8-7, of which in the 15th game, the Chinese titan turned the last red ball to set the tide and successfully completed the single-game reversal.

In the whole game, Zhang Anda only played four single-stroke 50+, not breaking 100, which is slightly inferior to Selby, who also only had four single-stroke 50+, all of which were defeated by the "old driver", which was considered the worst game of his career, and even broke out the "closed pole retirement".
