Basketball originated in Massachusetts, USA, and was created by James Naismith on December 21, 1891. It is a core event of the Olympic Games and is a hand-centered physical confrontation sport.

In 1895, American Bob Gailey introduced basketball to China. In 1896, the Tianjin YMCA held my country's first basketball game performance. Later, it was carried out in youth associations in cities such as Tianjin and Beijing.

The 5th Far Eastern Games was successfully held in Shanghai in May 1921. The Chinese team's opponents were the Philippines and Japan, and they defeated the Philippines and Japan 30-27 and 32-28 respectively to win the competition. victory. This is the first time that Chinese basketball has won an international basketball championship.

But few people know that the rise of Chinese basketball is closely related to a man named Dong Shouyi. Dong Shouyi was the first person in my country to study basketball abroad. He came to the United States to study as early as 1925 and was personally taught by the father of basketball, Nai Smith. He returned to China two years later and led the team to participate in many international competitions. He is truly the father of Chinese basketball.

Currently, the entire Chinese basketball is facing huge challenges. The situation of the national team is grim, and the gap between it and the world's advanced level is widening; the club's operations are difficult, and its survival and hematopoietic capabilities are insufficient; the talent training system is not smooth and there is a lack of young reserve forces; the construction of basketball culture is not taken seriously and the work is not advanced enough.

In addition, Chinese basketball still has practical problems such as low training level, unsystematic referee management, difficulty in survival of the women's line and serious shrinkage. Problems are intertwined and intertwined, requiring a "big basketball view" development thinking; work is intricate, and short-term goals and medium- and long-term plans are coordinated and promoted, so that Chinese basketball can enter a virtuous circle.

Where is the breakthrough? The league is a good starting point. The important foundation for the development of basketball lies in building a mechanism for pooling resources and emerging talents, and the league can play such a role.

Facing the market, making the "cake" bigger, and turning losses into profits, each club will be more willing to maintain the healthy development of the league, and the image and brand value of Chinese basketball will be highlighted. On the other hand, high-quality resources attract high-quality talents and running a good league will not only accumulate reserve forces for basketball, but also create space for sports industry professionals to enter the basketball field and display their skills.

The reform will ultimately allow more people to feel a sense of gain. Returning to the process of solving problems will inevitably lead to struggles with various difficulties. It is not advisable to cling to one's limitations without making progress, nor is it feasible to simply and crudely start over. To promote the continued development of Chinese basketball, we need to adhere to the idea of ????connecting the past and the future. We hope that people of insight from all walks of life will increase their political awareness and take action.
