Anyone understands the math behind it?
There are 45 unseen cards after the flop (52 minus your four hole cards, minus another three flop cards).
There are 9 cards maximum that can pair the board, assuming the flop does not have two or more cards of the same rank (three remaining unseen cards each of the three different ranks of flop cards is three times three). However, there may be less board pairing cards depending on how many of your hole cards match the flop cards.
