In the first five games, the taxi driver played tenaciously, twice fell behind and equalized twice. In the fifth game, he finished the lore 65-56 and took the lead for the first time.

In the last three games, the new king only scored 18 points.
In the first round, Si Jiahui, who upset Murphy, made persistent efforts. In the second round, Milkins was rubbed on the ground, 0-1 fell behind and 6-1 came back.
