The history and development of basketball

The 2019 Men's Basketball World Cup is still in full swing. I believe many people are paying attention to this event, but do you really know basketball? Today talk about the history and development of basketball.

Basketball is one of the most intense collective confrontation projects. The start of its choice is to contend for the ball, that is to say the first referee whistle, to start with confrontation. Football is also a collective confrontation movement, but compared with football, the basketball field is smaller, and the player's body is taller, which causes this collective confrontation to proceed in the smallest space, greatly increasing the fierceness of confrontation.

Like other ball games, the inventor of basketball is difficult to confirm, but the founders of modern basketball are recognized as the first in 1891 by James Naismith of the United States. He used two baskets as his shooting goal. The name of the basketball comes from this. The United States is the hometown of modern basketball. Until now, it is still the country with the strongest basketball strength. There are nearly one million basketball players in the country, and 100,000 of them can reach the national team level in other countries. Although there are many strong basketball teams in the world today, as far as the real top players are concerned, the world does not add up to the United States.

Many super basketball superstars are Americans. For example, Chamberlain ,the superstar who can't be named so far, has won 55 rebounds in a big game and 100 points in another. From 1960 to 1973, he scored 47,859 points in a major competition. If Bailey is the "ball king" of football, then Chamberlain is the well-deserved basketball "ball king." A high-level basketball game has an incalculable charm.

Historically, such a thing has been recorded: In 1956, the US "Harlem" basketball team visited Peru, which was at the time of the Peruvian civil war. However, after the news of the "Harlem" team came out, the two sides of the war were actually Indiscriminately dispatched military leaders to negotiate and agreed to a four-day truce to ensure the performance of the "Harlem" team. Although the capital of Peru is in the midst of war, the atmosphere is extremely tense, but the people watching the performance are still very enthusiastic, completely ignoring the danger. When the "Harlem" team left Lima, the gunshots of the civil war rang in the capital.

I introduced it here today, but the charm of basketball doesn't stop there. Which team and player do you support?
