MCM College: Train Like a Basketball Pro

On 4th September, 2025, Mandarin House of Moon Chun Memorial College, University of Macau hosted a basketball training session to enhance technical and tactical skills in the sport. The event featured Coach Miachael Zhang, who thoughtfully divided participants into two groups based on their skill levels—one for those with prior basketball experience and another for beginners—ensuring a tailored and progressive learning experience.

Throughout the training, Coach Zhang delivered a professional and systematic demonstration of the key techniques involved in the three-step layup, emphasizing critical elements such as optimal backboard contact points for higher scoring efficiency and body coordination. He then provided an in-depth explanation of the two-man screen tactic used in shooting scenarios, covering the logic behind player movement and implementation strategies. Practical drills were incorporated to reinforce participants’ understanding and application of these concepts.

To conclude the event, a lively basketball scrimmage was held, allowing participants to put their newly acquired skills into practice and showcase their competitive spirit and teamwork. The atmosphere was energetic and engaging, with attendees expressing that they had gained valuable insights and experienced noticeable improvements in their basketball abilities.

MCM College hopes to continue promoting holistic student development through such activities, fostering a spirit of athleticism and a healthy lifestyle.
