经过九月和十月的高强度训练以及选拔,清澜高中海龙篮球校队在10月27日迎来了他们的第一次比赛,也是与老对手UISZC的第三次比赛。刚开局,两队手感都不佳,迟迟没有拿到各自的首分,不过清澜山篮球校队的朱羿以一记精彩的上篮取得了第一分。之后,靠着优秀的转换进攻以及防守习惯,我方将分差一步步扩大,最终成功拿下了比赛的胜利!
After continuous tiresome tryouts and training throughout September and October, the Tsinglan High School Seadragon Basketball Team had their first game of the season on October 27.
This school year, the team has evolved a lot. New squads join the the team, and new tactics are used. Consequently, this game's result has reflected the team's real strength test of the chemistry formed among the players in the past two months. Seadragons played against is the VISZC (Utahloy International School Zengcheng), an old friend. Last year, our Seadragon Basketball team had already played against USIZ twice, with a win and loss record each.
The game started with a whistle blow and the ball tossing into the air. In the first few minutes, both teams stillneeded to score a ball; UISZC was trying to get familiar with their new surroundings, and Tsinglan was trying to get into the rhythm.
Finally, Julian broke the deadlock and finally scored the first point with an impressive layup.
After that, everyone started getting into the flow: dribble, pass, and repeat. As a result, our team won the opponent many points.

In the third quarter, the Seadragons team decreased the pressure on the defense by stopping the full-court defense and transitioning to offense mode. Tsinglan implemented a tactic called the Breaking 2-3 with Runner, in which they pass the ball to the runner in the corner to shoot the three-point. Surprisingly, this tactic helped Seadragons gain many three-point throws, igniting the audience's energy.
After the game, the Seadragons team won by 60 to 10. As a result,this game not only tested the teamwork and strength of the players but also helped them gain confidence for future games. This is only the beginning: many more games are still waiting for the team!
