The rolling steel mills and bustling logistics lines of Fangda Jiugang set aside production schedules over the weekend of October 25 to close out the company’s National Day Men’s Basketball Tournament in high spirits, csteelnews.com reported.
Seven Teams Compete in Weekend Matches
Action at the facility got underway on September 28, drawing seven representative teams and more than 80 employees from various units across the enterprise. Organizers structured the competition as a round-robin schedule, tracking cumulative points to determine the final standings while also carving out an individual accolade for the tournament’s top scorer.
To ensure regular plant operations remained uninterrupted, officials scheduled every fixture exclusively on weekends. That scheduling choice allowed staff members to step away from shifts and unwind through sport during their designated rest periods.
Rolling Mill Secures Tenth Title
After nearly a month of hard-fought fixtures, the Rolling Steel Mill representative team rose above the field with steady execution and depth, capturing the championship crown and extending a remarkable run to ten consecutive tournament titles. The Steelmaking Plant finished as tournament runner-up, while the Ironmaking Plant claimed third place.
Individual standout performance also shaped the closing stretch of the competition. Li Xihang, representing the Logistics and Transportation Department, earned the official “Scoring King” designation after leading all players in offensive productivity.
Fierce Competition on the Hardwood
On-court sequences featured crisp passing combinations, perimeter marksmanship, active defensive pressure, and quick-transition scoring breaks. Field goals and aggressive drives drew consistent applause from colleagues watching from the sidelines.
Encounters mixed tactical coordination with physical contests of speed and strength. Observers noted that participants maintained a strong cooperative focus while competing intensely for every possession.
Building Camaraderie Across Factory Units
Beyond the final standings, the tournament functioned as an inter-unit bridge, offering employees a venue to ease workplace pressure and build closer ties outside their immediate departments. Participants adhered strictly to rules and displayed mutual respect for opponents.
Organizers noted that the resilience and competitive drive demonstrated on the basketball court reinforced broader team cohesion that employees carried back into their daily operational duties.
