Zhuji Basketball Arena: New Provincial Landmark Opens Soon

“Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

A basketball game is underway. Dribble, shoot, and go in… agile figure scored repeatedly. He is Zhou Chaolong, deputy director of the Zhuji Development Committee Major Project Service Center, and is also the initiator of this game. “This game is a comprehensive assessment of the basketball center through actual combat.” Zhou Chaolong said that the basketball center will be officially operated at the end of June, and this year’s Xishi “Village BA” finals plan will be held here.

Zhuji Basketball Center has a total investment of 1 billion yuan, and the main venue has 18,000 seats. It is the largest single-piece scale in the province and the top ten in the country in overall scale.

“When it comes to fans’ needs, many people hope that Zhuji can have a top-level basketball venue, which not only can play here, but also can see more domestic and international events at their doorstep to polish the business card of the basketball city.” At this time, Zhou Tian, ​​director of the Zhuji Development Committee Major Project Service Center, who had just arrived at the scene, introduced.

Zhuji is the first batch of national basketball cities in Zhejiang Province and the only national basketball city in Zhejiang Province. It was once the home city of the former Zhejiang Wanma Basketball Team and Zhejiang Guangsha Basketball Team. It is also the only county-level city in CBA history to host the full CBA season and All-Star Weekend at the same time. It maintains the Shanghai World Guinis record with 2,251 basketball courts.

The people have hopes for it, and the government has done something. After more than three years of construction, this basketball center that can host international and domestic comprehensive and individual events such as the FIBA ​​and NBA China Tournament has been successfully completed. Among them, it is inseparable from the basketball nutrients delivered by Zhuji’s “village BA”.

“Illuminate the basket at the village head with professional lights.” This is the core positioning of Zhuji Basketball Center. At present, the venue construction has entered the final sprint stage. The team of Zhuji Development Committee’s major project service center team worked day and night to polish the details in order to give everyone who comes here a good experience.

The players on the field were sweating profusely, while the players off the field were carefully checking the equipment, equipment and audience seats everywhere. Some players suggested that venues need to dissipate the smell better and let fans smell the “basketball smell” rather than the decoration smell. Zhou Chaolong nodded repeatedly and recorded the issue on the record. “This is a question that needs to be followed up in time. I will do another air quality test and stress test before the opening of the museum.”

As he was talking, a player suddenly shouted, “The floor here is empty.” Zhou Chaolong took the basketball to perform a batting test, and it really made a thud. “Everyone who loves basketball usually plays in various places, and their requirements for venues and venues are becoming more and more professional. This is also the reason for asking them to be ‘experience officers’.” Zhou Chaolong recalled a scene he saw at the construction site a week ago: a worker tripped over a tiny bulge next to the site. This detail made him realize that even after professional acceptance, the venue may still have “blind spots” that affect the experience. Inspired by this, he decided to invite young people who love basketball to test the venues in practical ways, so that the players’ perspectives and fans’ needs can collide with each other.

In recent years, basketball has blossomed everywhere in Zhuji, and the introduction of more and more exciting events has cultivated Zhuji people’s enthusiasm for playing and watching football. The popularity of “Village BA” has once again pushed the basketball atmosphere in Zhuji to a climax. This grassroots event has been cultivated for two sessions and has transformed into a phenomenal IP. In the past, tickets for the opening match of Xishi’s “Village BA” and the finals were always hard to get. Many fans who did not get the ticket made a wish, hoping that this year’s “Village BA” finals will be held in a new venue so that more people can watch the wonderful showdown on site.

“Playing the finals here is the dream of almost all ‘village BA’ players, but unfortunately our village missed the finals.” Wang Junlai, a player from Shanting Village, Yaojiang Town, was a little regretful. “However, you can sit in a large venue with 18,000 people to watch the finals and have a carnival with everyone, and I am still looking forward to it.” He suggested that the interior of the basketball center can add Zhuji basketball history and “village BA” elements, “so that the basketball center can not only hold top-level events, but also have Zhuji recognition. Players and fans can feel the unique basketball atmosphere of Zhuji.”

After the basketball center starts operation, it will use the Xishi “Village BA” finals and other stress test competitions to actively connect with major sports events, sports training and entertainment activities. While improving the utilization rate of venues, it will further gather popularity, expand its influence, and build a brand.

“In the future, there were courts in the village and basketball centers in the city. The vitality of the event was transmitted from rural courtyards to urban landmarks, and then spread from cities to rural areas, truly realizing the entire growth of basketball culture. Top events and rural sentiments have never been a single choice question.” said a relevant person in charge of the Zhuji Municipal Party Committee.

As night falls, the lights in the center of the basketball lights up one after another, outlining the atmospheric outline. “It must be faster and faster, and implement the evaluation suggestions given by the ‘experience officers’.” Every member of the Zhuji Development Committee’s major project service center team knew that for Zhuji, this is not only the opening of a venue, but also a new starting point for a century-old basketball dream.
