The core of playing in Malone's era is to control the ball and finish forehand. He is like an assassin with a dagger, constantly cruising to find and create opportunities, trying to kill him with one blow. If you miss a blow, you often have to pay a heavy price for broken bones and tendons.
The core of Fan Zhendong's style of play is backhand+full attack. He wore heavy armor and held two heavy infantry hammers to win by thick.
