Basketball is a global sport, which originated in the United States and is very popular all over the world. Basketball is usually played by two teams, each with five players. The goal of the game is to throw the basketball into the opponent's basket and get more points.

The basketball game is divided into four twelve-minute intervals, with a two-minute break between each interval and a fifteen-minute break after halftime. During the game, players can take the ball to find shooting opportunities or pass the ball to achieve the same goal. You can score two or three points when you throw into the basket and one or two points when you make a free throw.

In basketball games, players need to have various skills, including shooting, passing, defense, marking, jumping and so on. Basketball needs teamwork spirit, because fighting alone will not bring victory.
