Game Process:

At the start of the first quarter, Yang Hansen started on the court, but his consecutive passes were intercepted as opponents anticipated his intentions, leading Mixing Sound to a 11-2 deficit. Afterwards, Yang Hansen focused more on facilitating teammates and grabbing rebounds, but teammates' shooting efficiency was low, quickly allowing opponents to widen the lead to double digits. Yang Hansen was subsequently substituted, and the Raptors unleashed a 9-3 surge, extending the gap to nearly 20 points. Towards the end of the quarter, Yang Hansen returned to the court, but he only secured one rebound with zero shot attempts and zero points, and the deficit widened again. The first quarter ended with the Raptors leading Mixing Sound 36-16 by 20 points.

Returning in the second quarter, Yang Hansen remained on the court, but facing the opponent's small lineup, Mixing Sound did not employ low-post tactics for him, and the deficit further expanded to 29 points. Midway through the second quarter, Yang Hansen still had no shot attempts, only managing to score 2 points through two put-back attempts several minutes later, but by then the gap had already widened beyond 30 points. Subsequently, Yang Hansen committed a defensive three-second violation and was immediately substituted by the coach. In the latter part of the quarter, Yang Hansen finally got another chance to play and received corresponding tactical arrangements to start scoring, though the Raptors' three-point shooting remained highly efficient. The second quarter ended with Yang Hansen scoring 6 points and 7 rebounds, Mixing Sound trailing the Raptors 47-74 by 27 points.

In the third quarter, tactics centered around Yang Hansen noticeably increased, and he gained more opportunities for interior solo plays. Yang Hansen quickly scored on all four attempts, reaching double figures, forcing opponents to employ double-teaming, while Love found more open spaces; together they contributed points, narrowing the deficit to 19 points. However, Yang Hansen was then substituted, and within just four minutes, Mixing Sound collapsed again, repeatedly allowing opponents to build small surges, widening the gap back to 26 points. Yang Hansen was urgently called back near the end of the quarter; he immediately hit a three-pointer, scored on an alley-oop, and delivered a big block defensively, dominating both offense and defense. Mixing Sound quickly reduced the deficit again to 17 points. The third quarter ended with Mixing Sound trailing the Raptors 87-104.

In the decisive final quarter, Yang Hansen remained on the court; he scored two points at the start, helping Mixing Sound launch an 8-2 opening, his plus-minus rating soaring from -28 in the first half to -1, with the deficit shrinking to only 11 points. Yang Hansen rested due to fatigue, preparing for the final push, while teammates' confidence surged and shooting efficiency improved, narrowing the gap to just 6 points. With 4 minutes remaining, the deficit had widened to 10 points, and Yang Hansen returned. He consecutively grabbed offensive rebounds, and Mixing Sound continuously scored, bringing the deficit to 2 points. Garell's three-pointer stabilized the Raptors, Love missed a crucial three-pointer, the gap widened again to 7 points, and the game essentially lost suspense. Ultimately, Mixing Sound regrettably lost to the Raptors 117-126.
