On the evening of August 18, the 2023-2024 Master Kong Drink Water China Junior High School Basketball League (hereinafter referred to as Kangchu) held the men's national finals. After four quarters of fierce confrontation, Huipu Experimental Middle School finally defeated Tsinghua High School 82-72 and successfully defended the championship of the China Junior High School Basketball League.

In the national competition of the Nike China High School Basketball League (hereinafter referred to as Nike High School), Huipu Middle School and Tsinghua High School are two traditional strong teams that have met in the national finals many times. This time, the junior high school students of the two teams met in the Kangchu National Finals. The two teams maintained an undefeated record in previous games and often defeated their opponents by more than 30 points.

In the semi-finals, Tsinghua High School narrowly defeated Hailiang Junior High School 94-91, while Huipu Experimental High School defeated Hunan Geological Middle School 99-47. These two "old rivals" from Kangchu to Naigao once again staged a wonderful showdown in the battle for the championship and runner-up of the national finals.

At the beginning of the game, Huipu Experimental Middle School was a little slow to warm up and fell behind at one point. However, after the second group of players came on the court, Huipu Experimental Middle School gradually regained its form and made a 21-12 impact wave in the second quarter, overtaking the score in one fell swoop. Since then, Huipu Experimental Middle School has been leading, and the score difference once reached double digits.

Although Tsinghua High School once narrowed the gap to only 2 points in the last quarter, Huipu Experimental Middle School played steadily in the final moments, maintained the score difference and won the game steadily. Wang Baicheng scored 24 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, Zhang Yangziyue scored 16 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals, Zhang Jiaxu scored 13 points and 11 rebounds, and Yang Zonghan scored 10 points and 3 rebounds.

Last year, Huipu Middle School won the National Championship of the National High School League, and Huipu Experimental Middle School also won the National Junior High School League Championship, which became a legend. Many of the players who won the Junior High School League Championship at that time have been promoted to Huipu Middle School and become the follow-up force of the high school basketball team. However, Huipu Experimental Middle School has a lot of new players. After defeating the old rival this time, Huipu Experimental Middle School successfully completed the defense of the national championship, which no team has been able to do in the past ten years.

In the third and fourth place match that ended earlier, Hailiang Junior High School lost to Hunan Geological Middle School 90-92. However, it is a good result that two junior high school teams from Zhejiang made it to the semi-finals of the national finals at the same time.
