At 5:30 pm on September 2, the first round of the 3rd Hubei Hemei Rural Basketball Competition (Village BA) group stage started in Dingao Village, Yueshihong Village and Dingzu Village, Tingzu Town, Echeng District, Ezhou City. The main venue of the competition, Dingao Village multi-functional court, is the most popular, and enthusiastic villagers and basketball enthusiasts make the inside and outside of the court unobstructed.
Among them are both 80-year-old ladies and young people coming with a one-year-old baby. Many interviewees said that watching the game at home has a good atmosphere and a strong sense of scene, which enriches everyone’s spare time. I wish every team will achieve good results.
“Funny! You have to watch every game!” Liu Fengying, an 83-year-old villager in Dingao Village, rushed to the stadium to take up a seat at 5 pm that day, accompanied by his daughter. Even though he is over 80 years old, the old man looks energetic and cheerful and talkative. She told reporters that in recent years, the village’s cultural and sports facilities have been built better and better, and are very popular among the elderly. Although I don’t understand basketball, I like the lively atmosphere of the stadium and often come to the stadium to watch young people play basketball. “My secret to longevity is to keep a good mood. Seeing young people so energetic on the field, I feel like I’m back to my youth,” she said with a smile.
As night fell, more and more villagers and basketball enthusiasts came to watch the game, and soon filled the infield audience. Many people were guarding in front of the large screen outside the field, watching the game while enjoying the cool air, and were also very excited. “I’m late today, so I must come early tomorrow.” A young “dad” holding a 1-year-old baby told reporters that he lives in Tingzu Town and usually loves basketball. He made a special trip from the town to watch the game that day. “I used to watch live TV, and I couldn’t feel the atmosphere of the fans on the spot. Today I was experiencing a large-scale professional event at my doorstep, and I felt one word – ‘satisfactory’.” “His excitement was beyond words.
