Who's Neil Smith? Why is the Basketball Hall of Fame named after him?

Basketball in naismith was invented by naismith of the United States in 189 1 year. Naismith was teaching at the YMCA International Training School in Springfield, Massachusetts, USA. Basketball is an indoor group game designed by Professor luther gulick, director of the Department of Physical Education in this school, in order to implement the winter physical education class syllabus. He likes to throw the ball into the peach basket of the local children outdoors. Every family has a peach basket. He created a basketball game. Naismith nailed two baskets of peaches to the stands more than 3 meters above the ground at both ends of the indoor sports room as baskets, used football as a game ball, and replaced the baffle with barbed wire. He also learned the characteristics of football, rugby, hockey and other ball games. The first 13 rule of basketball match has been worked out. This is the origin of the name basketball, and it is also the situation in the initial stage of basketball. At that time, people called this game "naismith Ball" or "Basketball". Later, Jan naismith was known as "the father of modern basketball". At first, the basketball game was relatively simple, and there were no restrictions on the size of the venue and the number of participants. The students in physical education class are divided into two equal teams, standing at the two ends of the court. After the referee threw the ball into the center of the court, the players from both sides rushed into the court to grab the ball and tried to throw it into the basket of the other side. At first, the peach basket had a bottom. After the ball was hit, it was in the basket. People have to climb a special ladder to get the ball out of the basket, and then the referee throws the ball into the middle of the court again and starts the game again. Finally, whoever throws more balls into the basket will be the winner. With the continuous improvement of venue facilities, the bottom of the basket was cancelled. The fence made of wooden boards is used instead of barbed wire, and the center line, middle circle and free throw line are added to the venue. The game started with a jump ball in the middle. At the same time, the players on the field are usually changed to 9 people per team, with positions such as defender, defender, center, striker and staying behind. In addition, naismith has formulated the imperfect competition rule of clause 13, which stipulates that it is not allowed to run with the ball. Hit people, etc. This greatly improves the interest of basketball games. 1October 20th, 1892 65438+ Springfield YMCA International Training School held the first large-scale basketball match. Therefore, the history of basketball games is even longer than that of the modern Olympic Games. But it was not until 1932 that the International Amateur Basketball Federation was established. The men's basketball team was recognized as an official Olympic event by the International Olympic Committee, while the women's basketball team did not enter the "elegant hall" of the Olympic Games until 1976. 1892, basketball was introduced to Mexico for the first time, and it quickly developed all over Mexico. In this way, Mexico became the first country outside the United States to develop basketball. In addition, the sport was first introduced to France and Britain, and then to France. Countries such as Australia and Lebanon have been developed, popularized and developed all over the world. American Bao Puli introduced basketball to China on 1896, which was first carried out in youth clubs in Tianjin and Beijing. 19 10 Basketball was listed as a performance item for the first time in the first national sports meeting in old China. Basketball was listed as an official competition in China in 19 13. After james naismith invented basketball, he was known as "the father of modern basketball". He was born in 186 1 and died in 1939 at the age of 78. Naismith was originally a famous Scottish family. He officially became an American citizen at the age of 64. It was not until 1936 that Berlin hosted the Olympic Games that he got the respect he deserved. 75-year-old naismith arrived in Berlin with the American basketball team, but the American basketball team was only responsible for naismith's air ticket from the United States to Berlin, not his hotel and entrance fee in Berlin. The United States Olympic Committee ignored this. The father of basketball was in a very bad mood. William Jones, the first secretary-general of the International Amateur Basketball Federation, respected and admired him very much. He not only settled his hotel expenses, but also invited him to kick off the first basketball match of the Olympic Games. Before kick-off, Jones introduced the inventor of basketball to all the athletes and spectators, and he was warmly welcomed by everyone. After all the competitions, Jones arranged for naismith to preside over the award ceremony. He was awarded a special Olympic medal in recognition of his achievements in inventing basketball. When a little German girl presented him with China Chinese rose, naismith was ecstatic and threw his hat into the sky. After naismith's death, the International Amateur Basketball Federation decided to name the World Cup after him at the first C.O. meeting held during the establishment of the first men's basketball championship 1950.
