With 2.2 seconds before the end, Yulon led 74 Leading by 3 points to 71, the head coach gave the order and the last wave of tactics was Banba’s air slam dunk attack. However, Wu, Ke and others were worried that the score might not be “passed” (meaning that the game score meets the betting conditions), so Ke Banba was instructed to signal the head coach to call a timeout and ask Wu Jiying to attack. His teammates passed the ball to Wu to shoot a three-pointer, and Wu just scored. The final score was 77 to 71, and Wu won 381,950 yuan.
