The final ten minutes of the competition saw Huang Zheng indeed unable to put up any significant resistance. He watched helplessly as the score widened bit by bit, ultimately settling at 47:38, trailing by nine fish.
From an observer's perspective, Huang Zheng's performance wasn't lacking. He made no mistakes; his only fault was losing to Zhang Yang, who was thoughtful in his strategy.
As soon as the bell rang at the end of the final round, Huang Zheng irritably rubbed his face, looking quite defeated as he packed up his gear and left the scene.
On the other side, as soon as the competition ended, Zhang Yang's team of kids rushed up and lifted him high into the air.
"Boss, you're awesome!"
"Yang Bro, you're so cool! Winning that last round was so satisfying!!"
"FTT Station Competition Champion! The boss is the best! By the way, do you have your phone on you? Lend it to me for a second!"
