Point guard Liu Wei made the last shot of the game to deny Wang Zhizhi's 41-point effort for Shanghai Sharks' 101-100 thrilling win over Bayi Rockets in a CBA match.

Liu, who shot just 3-out-of-16 in the field before the winning basket, took 4.6 seconds for the break-through layup, leaving four seconds to the away team when Zhang Zhongguang's 3-point attempt wide off.
