Alright so here’s what happened. Was chilling with some buddies last night talking about that big Zhejiang team game. Someone pops the question: “What was the score at the end of the 3rd quarter?” None of us knew! Dang. So I figured, gotta look it up myself.
First thing I did? Grabbed my phone right there. Poked around on a couple of big name apps first. You know the ones everyone uses for scores. Scrolled and scrolled. Found the final score easy enough, 64-70 for Zhejiang. Good win, good win. But that 3rd quarter number? Nowhere! Just the final breakdown. Annoying, right?
Felt kinda stubborn. Thought it had to be somewhere obvious. Tried a different site, another popular one with lots of game info. Same story! Basic quarter scores listed for other games sometimes, but this one? Nada. Zilch. Just the halftime score and the final. Started feeling like it was hidden on purpose.
Then I remembered something. Local sources! Sometimes they have deeper cuts. Started digging into places tied closer to the teams involved. Started searching using the actual team names, adding in “3rd quarter” every time. Felt like waving a flashlight in a dark basement.
Bingo! Hit on a page that wasn’t one of the giant big-name outlets. They actually broke down the whole game flow. Halftime? Yeah, 36-30 the other guys leading. And then… there it was! They straight up said the 3rd quarter ended with Zhejiang ahead 46-51! Finally! Found it tucked inside a detailed play-by-play section.
Made a little note of it right in my phone right then. Learned my lesson too. For those super specific points in a close game, like the end of a quarter score? Don’t just rely on the top few spots. Gotta dig a little deeper, sometimes into where the local fans hang out info. Felt kinda accomplished just finding that little detail everyone else missed. Next time someone asks me about a 3rd quarter score? Yeah, I’ll know how to hunt it down.
