as the other guy said, Donovan never went in one direction for long enough for Max to have to slide. He did kinda do it towards the end and Max slid his feet once before completely turning his hips to run with him. Like the burst step is for recovery cause while flipping the hips takes time so you have to catch up.

Maybe if Max were a smaller defender with smaller and faster steps he would have slid more before flipping his hips with a following big step to recover.
