What is the origin of basketball?

Basketball was invented by American james naismith in 189 1 year. At that time, he taught at the YMCA International Training School in Springfield, Massachusetts. Because the local area is rich in peaches, the children here like to play the game of throwing the ball into the peach basket very much. This inspired him to learn the characteristics of ball games such as football and hockey and create basketball games. From 65438 to 0896, basketball was introduced to China, and in 2002, Yao Ming was selected as the No.1 in NBA, which opened a new basketball craze in China. The main international basketball organization is the International Basketball Federation (International Amateur Basketball Federation), founded in 1932 and headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland. The highest level basketball game in the world today is the NBA game. The highest league representing China is the China Professional Basketball League (CBA). Extended data:

Basketball rules: 1, 3-second rule: when a team is in possession of the ball, the players of the same team should not stay in the opponent's restricted area for more than 3 seconds. If a foul ball is thrown during the game or after possession, as long as the player on the same side stays in the opponent's restricted area for more than 3 seconds, the referee will immediately whistle for 3 seconds. 2. Five-second rule: When the player with the ball is closely guarded and fails to pass, throw, roll or dribble within five seconds, a foul will also be declared. The ball was fouled in the past five seconds, and now the opposing team is throwing a foul ball nearby. 3. Eight-second rule: A team must push the ball to the frontcourt within eight seconds of controlling the ball in the backcourt, otherwise it will be sentenced to an eight-second violation and the opponent will throw a foul ball. 4.24-second rule: After a team controls the ball on the court, it must make a shot within 24 seconds, otherwise it will be sentenced to a 24-second violation. In the past, if the ball was thrown out of bounds within 24 seconds, 24 seconds would be recalculated. Now, after throwing an out-of-bounds ball from the sideline, 24 seconds will not be recalculated, but it must be shot within the remaining 24 seconds, otherwise it will still be judged as a 24-second violation and the opponent will throw an out-of-bounds ball.
