The “good recipe” for young people’s physical fitness
From the first year of competing with his teammates in the first year, to the championship at the beginning of the second year, and then to the crowning of the elite group in the third year, Xu Xuankai from Nanyang Model Middle School witnessed the growth of MAGIC3 in the past three years. In his opinion, after three years of hard work, MAGIC3 has not only increased its promotion efforts, but is also working hard to build a stage for a wider range of young people to compete. “Now when the summer vacation is approaching every year, the students in the class who love to play basketball will start discussing MAGIC3, and invite each other to form a team.” At the same time, in Xu Xuankai’s view, MAGIC3 has become a Shanghai high school student basketball enthusiasts can’t get around. topic.
Just like Xu Xuankai said, compared with the previous MAGIC3, this year’s MAGIC3 has newly established an elite group on the basis of the popular group, and also created an additional competition in the Yangtze River Delta region, allowing more young people to join the MAGIC3 event.
During the regional competition, the Xuhui sub-compartment alone attracted 800 young basketball enthusiasts to participate. In addition to teammates, the audience on the sidelines also showed up parents. “My daughter has loved playing basketball since she was a child. This time she signed up for the competition spontaneously. As a parent, I came to her cheering group.” Parent Mr. Hu believes that the health of the child is the most important, and a good body can be better. Study life.
At the same time, even in the sub-division stage of the 16 districts, the organizers introduced CBA reporters and basketball celebrity anchors for live broadcasts. Through the configuration of two anchors in each game, player interviews, game commentary, and interactive lottery will be conducted in the official live broadcast room of the Shanghai MAGIC3 video number. “Through the live broadcast, I can feel the passion of high school basketball enthusiasts for basketball and the desire for the game. Through interviews, I can feel their inner excitement and tension. MAGIC3 has become an unforgettable experience of their youth growth.” As the official of this year’s MAGIC3 Anchor and Tencent CBA reporter Li Yubo said with emotion.
In addition to local enthusiasts in Shanghai, there are also enthusiasts who failed to catch up with the Yangtze River Delta Regional Competition and came to Shanghai to participate in the competition. Xu Hao of the team “U17” and the other two members Zhang Kun and Xu Pengxiang are both students of Suzhou Zhenwu Middle School. “I heard that nearly 20,000 people participated in MAGIC3 this year, and the establishment of the Yangtze River Delta competition area in the Suzhou basketball circle is also a very shocking news.” U17, who originally planned to sign up for the surrounding Yangtze River Delta competition area, failed to grab the Yangtze River Delta because it was one step late. The number of places in the competition area. In desperation, everyone decided to go to the Shanghai Division to register for the competition.
From Suzhou Station to Shanghai South Station by high-speed rail, you have to change to a bus. Even if it takes more than two hours on the road, it still cannot stop the enthusiasm of the Suzhou teenagers. In the end, they also overcame all obstacles and successfully won the men’s popular group championship. The moment they were the upper body of the gold jacket representing the champion, the Suzhou teenagers were still in a dream, “This is really a dreamlike journey.”
Through various “small means”, MAGIC3 allows young people to take the initiative to set foot on the basketball court and write youth with hard work. Such a wonderful sporting event is much more effective than any parent’s preaching, and it is a rare dose of a “good recipe” for strengthening the physical fitness of young people.
