Before the start of the game, both teams were in a relatively difficult phase. Although the BAIC men's basketball team has a slightly better record, it has suffered three consecutive defeats recently, and the main players Zhai Xiaochuan and Fan Ziming have been punished additionally, and their morale has been affected to a certain extent. The Beijing Enterprises men's basketball team has entered the devil's schedule and has encountered strong teams one after another. If this game can't beat BAIC, then Beijing Enterprises will face the "eleven champions" Guangdong team, and then two away games, respectively against Tianjin and Liaoning, the future is uncertain.

Meng Zikai of the Beijing Control men's basketball team performed eye-catchingly, scoring 8 points in the first quarter and scoring 13 points in the first half, becoming a wonder soldier in the hands of Min Lulei.
Entering the second half, the situation on the field changed abruptly. The Beijing Enterprises men's basketball team once again committed the ** disease of weakness and easy distraction in the third quarter, and was continuously chased by the BAIC men's basketball team.

Then the BAIC men's basketball team seized the opportunity to overtake the score. Lile, a small foreign aid who performed well in the first half of Beijing Control, was strictly guarded by the BAIC men's basketball team, and he played relatively alone, and his hand felt reduced. If it weren't for Zhang Fan's ultra-long 3-point shot at the end of the quarter, Beijing Control would have fallen behind even more. In this quarter, they were recovered by the BAIC team by 10 points in a single quarter, and entered the decisive quarter with 70-72.
The two teams played a closer game in the deciding quarter, and the difference between the two teams was still 2 points at the end of the two minutes remaining.

And Beijing Control ushered in Fang Shuo's whistle "fairy ball" after a difficult equalizer and overtook by 2 points, dragging the game into overtime.
In the last 5 minutes, Fang Shuo once again played a leading role. He hit a super long shot, and once rushed to the sidelines to save the ball, which has been "hanging a breath" for the BAIC men's basketball team, and also laid the foundation for the emergence of miracles and turnarounds. When BAIC was 103-106 behind, it was Fang Shuo who hit a super long three points and equalized the score again. In the last 4 seconds, BAIC handed the ball to Keane, a new foreign aid, in the offense, and he lived up to expectations this time, hitting the bullseye accurately with a long-range shot from outside the three-point line.
