    With a good score of 45:35, School of Materials Science and Engineering defeated School of Medicine and won the 5th place in 2018 “Sanhao Cup” Graduate Basketball Game on June 9th.

    The 5/6th final was held in the Shaoyifu Gym on Yuquan Campus. School of Medicine was the first opponent we encounter back in the group game and also the last. Medical school hit the arena by winning 6 points in a row in the first few minutes. MSE improved the defensive intensity, made multiple transition-attacks lead by Sword God (Yu Jian), and recovered the score. In the first half, the two sides competed fiercely, making the score quite close. In the second half, MSE managed to fight back with an amazing streak of 9 three-pointers. The outstanding performance of MSE brought Medical school to chaos. With a wide gap of score, the match went into garbage time. Eventually, MSE won the game by 10 points.

    Graduate student basketball team of MSE intensified their training to twice a week since April, one month before the game started. With all the group matches winning, they entered the top 16 as the group’s first. The team won by a very narrow margin for overlooking the opponent in the 1/8 finals. Unfortunately, they lost the game versus College of Civil Engineering and Architecture by only 4 points.

    The bench players were always supportive whenever the team was in good or bad state. The team would summarize every game they played and reflect on themselves. The night after being eliminated by CCEA, Sword God blamed himself for the ineffective strategies. Squid Bro (You Zengyu) comforted him and said “Everyone did their best and MSE has always been playing as a team!” which indicates the unity of the team.

    Congratulations to School of Materials Science and Engineering and wish we get a better score next year!
