on basketball games The score is volatile, and a single offensive or defensive passage can change the score quickly. Even if the data model supports the direction of small points, factors such as the feel of the players on the field, the referee's scale, and unexpected adjustments to tactics can still cause the total score to exceed the threshold. It is recommended to use this analysis as a reference for rational decision-making.
