In the final second, the miracle didn't happen.
The full-on physical contest had left Washington High School's players without their offensive touch.
Their last shot was disrupted by Gan Guoyang's enormous hand, resulting in an air ball.
Wu Zhixiong grabbed the ball beneath the basket and threw it into the air as the players from Beiqiao High School hugged each other tightly, celebrating their progress towards the ultimate goal.
In a fierce battle, Gan Guoyang racked up 19 points and 28 rebounds, delivering 11 blocks.
One could say he squeezed every ounce out of his defensive ability, while the players from Washington High School also gave it their all—except for Quentin Stephenson.
However, Stephenson had a significant impact tonight, inflicting rare psychological damage on Gan Guoyang.
If not for Gan Guoyang's unwavering will, the final attack might not have gone in, and the teams would have had to fight it out in overtime.
