Huzhen Town in Jinyun County, Lishui City, called Huzhen for short, covers a total area of 228 square kilometers and has a population of 120,000.
Huzhen is regarded as a "rising star" in the basketball circle of Zhejiang province. However, the No.7 home court, which is familiar to almost all the basketball players opened branches in this town. It is quite astonishing for the No.7 home court, an unmanned intelligent basketball hall, operating 24 hours a day, covers all parts of the country but mainly distributed in large and medium-sized cities.
What will soon appear in Huzhen are not only a chain of high-end commercial stadiums, but also a sports center. The sports center will have a professional stadium that can accommodate 3,000 audiences. Lu ting, president of Huzhen basketball association said that with this venue, Huzhen would introduce more high-end basketball matches, "We will even invite CBA preseason matches to play here in the future."
The scale of the matches set a record year after year. The number of people watching the match averages 4,000. The stadium was always full. There were also two large LED screens outside the stadium to broadcast the match, watched by 3,000 to 4,000 people.
Due to the schedule, there are usually three matches in one night. It is common for matches to last until midnight. The latest match was finished at 3: 40 a.m. So "the sun at 4 in Huzhen" has also become a famous saying.
The success of Huzhen basketball is attributed to ten years of cultivation of basketball.
The No.2 Experimental Primary School in Jinyun County in the town became a famous basketball school in 2010. The principal Shen Jinhui showed the scene in the classroom to the reporter, "We put a basketball under each student's seat and everyone can play basketball."
The annual one-month school basketball festival is also a major event in the town. Each class of grades 3 to 6 has to send a team of nearly 25 students to take part in the round-robin matches of the same grade. Parents also join the event. They find players in the Huzhen Basketball League to coach their children.
