​We Are the Champions Congratulations to Shewaixin Women's Basketball Team for setting a record and winning the BNU Graduate Women's Basketball League Championship

There is such a kind of heroism in the world. They see the essence of life clearly, fight on despite repeated defeat, and finally become their own heroines.

From the semi-final defeat in 2018 to the dream's coming true at Qiu Ji Duan in 2019, from the first defeat in the group game to the final victory over the two championship teams, the Shewaixin women's basketball team worked hard for 382 days.

Over the year, some team members left, and some old players insisted on. The basketball court witnessed their efforts, and they finally won!

On June 2, 2019, Shewaixin Women's Basketball Team took part in the last competition of this semester, which is also the last competition participated by many graduate students in the team. The difference is that they finally made it to the finals, turning their dream into reality.

At 6 o'clock in the evening, the match began.

Defense always helps win the championship. It's true today. In the first quarter of the competition, facing the single core-headed opponent from Political Department and the No.1 scorer Suo Yimin, the Shewaixin Team arranged two players for attack, which had obvious effect and effectively restricted the attack of the No.1 scorer. However, due to the active defense, our team members consumed a lot of physical energy. At the end of the first quarter of the game, our team won by a score of 1 to 0 with free throws.

In the second quarter, our team members adapted to the rhythm of the finals and were in a better state for the game. The players not only continued the tight defense that choked the opponent in the first quarter, but also achieved a good result of 10:1 under the leadership of Wu Mengyuan (No.20) and Chen Hongjun (No.6), the team head. In particular, Xu Jierong, the 11th member of the team, made frequent layups, performed excellently in cooperation with her teammates and made two shots. When the game was about to end, relying on the teammates' strong defense, she again made a wonderful shot, and then the whistle rang and the game was over. Their outstanding performance makes their opponents defenseless.

At this moment, with rich experience in the game, the political department's team gradually launched counterattacks, trying to reverse the situation of the game, and our players were at a low ebb. At the end of the third quarter, the opponent team got four penalties, and the score ratio was 14:10. Our lead was reduced to only four points.

In the face of such a situation, our team had a stronger desire for victory. SInce there is always someone to win, why not me? If we can't score, defend actively. If we can't get a free throw, try to fight for every rebound. We saw some players sobbing at the corner because of their poor performance. The main player of our team who left after five fouls began to cheer for her teammates and did not have any time to be sad. And we saw that these beautiful girls, who pay special attention to the image in daily life, fought for a rebound without hesitation at this moment. Through their joint efforts, when the referee blew a whistle at the end of the game, the score was set at 16:12. Our team won the championship historically. Xu Jierong won the MVP of the game. Luo Yu was titled Three-point King in the following three-point game. Coach Zhuang Zichen was titled the best coach. It's a grand slam!

Success always belongs to those who wait patiently. Let's remember the names of all the members of Shewaixin Women's Basketball Team (as shown below).

Thank the girls for their efforts to win the game! Tonight, you are the champion and glory belongs to you!
