On the afternoon of June 4th, the preliminary round of the 2025 "Integrity Cup" men's basketball tournament organized by the China Steel Luonai Union and Youth League Committee kicked off in a warm atmosphere, with the sounds of "bang bang" and "pass ball!" intertwined on the court as the basketball hit the ground. Six representative teams from functional departments, marketing centers, Luonai Institute and other units and work areas of the company gathered on the court, using basketball as a medium to deeply integrate the culture of integrity and sportsmanship, demonstrating the unity of "value creation and striving for excellence" in their hard work.

At the opening ceremony, Xiong Jian, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of Sinosteel Luonai, delivered a speech. He hoped that everyone would not only show friendship and unity on the court, but also demonstrate the spirit of hard work and determination, and transform the fighting spirit shown in basketball games into the driving force to overcome difficulties. In various fronts such as production, marketing, and scientific research, he hoped that everyone would contribute to the development of the enterprise with practical work and responsibility.

Subsequently, the referee representative and the athlete representative took the stage to speak, promising to strictly abide by the rules of the competition, uphold integrity, compete fairly, and showcase the good image of the Luonai people. As the Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, Shi Lihuan, kicked off the game, the first day of the competition officially began.

The first showdown will take place between the shareholder functional representative team and the marketing and procurement representative team. On the field, the team members passed the ball with tacit understanding, ran accurately, stole fast breaks, and alternated between attacking and defending the position, with the score rising alternately in fierce competition. Both players have always maintained a civilized competitive attitude, even in intense physical confrontations, they can still greet each other, demonstrating the sportsmanship of "friendship first, competition second".

The referee team focuses on officiating, strictly following the rules at every whistle to ensure a fair game. The enthusiasm of the audience on the sidelines was high, with cheers of encouragement echoing one after another, creating a lively and orderly atmosphere. The other matches were equally exciting and diverse, with some using delicate techniques to make brilliant attacks multiple times, while others demonstrated team cohesion through tenacious defense and quick counterattacks. Every rebounding and tactical execution reflects the players' serious attitude towards the game.

The "Integrity Cup" basketball game this time is a vivid practice of the company's integrity culture construction. It not only provides a platform for employees to showcase their talents, but also uses sports events as a carrier to guide employees to transform their fighting spirit on the court into practical actions in their work. They bravely shoulder heavy responsibilities and strive for excellence in their respective positions, injecting new vitality into the high-quality development of the company.
