At the beginning, the competition was extremely intense. The players of both sides quickly entered the state, dribbling, passing, shooting... All the athletes were engrossed in the game, enjoying the charm of sports. The audience shouted enthusiastically: Shewaixin, defend", "Shewaixin, come on!" Whenever there was a pause or break, the players off the court would take the initiative to pass water and tissue to the contestants, pat their shoulders and say "well done"! When the game continued after the suspension, we would form a circle and shout: "Shewaixin, come on". In such a way, we encouraged and cared for each other, each doing her duty well. That is what a team should look like.

At the end of the game, all the members of Shewaixin Team lined up to thank the coach, the referee, the opponent and the audience, which shows their gratitude to the coach and the referee as well as their respect for the opponents.

After that, the coaches and players of Shewaixin Women's Basketball Team gathered to sum up the game. They discussed the problems found during the game and expressed their ideas. In such a way, they've not only learned from the experience, but also improved their friendship, laying a foundation for better teamwork in the future.

Looking back on the basketball game, the Shewaixin Women's Basketball Team won one game and lost two in three games, experiencing not only the joy of victory but also the regret of being defeated by the opponents after going all out. In the process of preparing for the match, with the care of SSDPP's teachers, the guidance of the coaches and the help of classmates, the Shewaixin team went all out with strong confidence and got firm determination to win honors. Although it was a pity that they failed to qualify, the team members improved their team cohesion and basketball skills at the event, and more importantly, felt the passion and joy of sports and experienced success and failure as well. I hope that the team will continue to learn from experience and enhance its strength. I look forward to good results in the coming year!
