The uninvited @NorthwestWolfKanball has the answer for you. Soccer is the world's No. 1 sport for 6 billion people, and it's unrivaled globally. In addition to the 1.3 billion standard table tennis, 300 million people in China, basketball has been the largest base of group ball sports. What is the reason for this phenomenon and the asymmetry of the development of world soccer?
Chinese soccer also had a population base of 100 millionChinese basketball from the 70s after the restoration of the tournament has won a lot of achievements, 78 years into the first World Championships, 94 years to win the eighth can be said to say that the road is the pinnacle! The results of the Chinese soccer is much worse, the 80s contact after the impact of the World Cup is dropped into the underestimation. So in the sports era, when the whole country was trying to achieve results, the status of soccer has not been as good as that of basketball. However, after the opening of professionalization in 1994, Chinese soccer also ushered in a period of national sports climax. Although the sports school has been restructured, but also for all levels of clubs in a steady stream of blood transfusion, football schools, clubs ladder is the country to take root in 2000, the private football school is more than 2,000, in terms of the output of soccer in Shenyang, a large province of a certain scale of professional football school on the big 70, professional ladder trainees more than 8,000 people. The professional league of the fire will also bring the passion of soccer to the public sports, although the field conditions were not very good, but schools and public stadiums are full, open space to set up bricks, sneakers, etc. to do the door to kick a small field of the scene can be seen everywhere. The self-financed games were also filled with all the fee-based venues. 2000 China's soccer population for the first time reached 100 million people, a scale that is unprecedented for Chinese soccer!
The shift in the strategic goals of soccer pushed Chinese soccer to the precipiceWith the 2004 Asian Cup, the Chinese team finished second, and China's most glorious professional golden age of soccer came to an end. In fact, after 2002, the Chinese soccer world has appeared black fake gambling chaos, 04 years after the decade of dark turbulence will be dragged into the trough of Chinese soccer. The professional league, upgraded to the Chinese Super League, also fell to the freezing point, and the enthusiasm of the people to watch and play soccer also faded. All this misery is just the appearance, the biggest collapse from the FA top management of the current national conditions of the judgment errors, 02 years into the World Cup results also confused decision-makers eyes, the original "to establish a perfect league system and a healthy professional league, so as to further improve the level of China's soccer" strategic goal, direct leapfrog The original strategic goal of "establishing a perfect league system and a healthy professional league to further improve the level of Chinese soccer" has been set as "all the national team's performance is the top priority". This shift in strategic center of gravity abandoned the original grassroots soccer, football schools, ladder teams at all levels fell apart overnight, the foundation of Chinese soccer youth training - physical education schools also fell apart after the restructuring of the ...... without the development of the soccer population base, without the teaching and training of the drive and the influence, Chinese football also appeared talent. influence, Chinese soccer also appeared talent cliff. "The country does not support, my children play soccer still have a future?" This sentence not only poked the pain point of Chinese soccer, but also reflected the dismal scene of the folk soccer movement.
The national status of basketball can not be replaced by soccer
The development of basketball in the country is not only the best results of the three major national teams and decided, but also the education and economic environment under the influence of the superior. "The sports teacher who can play basketball is a good sports teacher" by the influence of this old education thought, the education department in the recruitment of sports teachers, basketball professional accounted for the largest proportion, the largest number of recruits. As a result, talents from other sports majors are unable to enter the education system and develop more abundant sports activities. In particular, the soccer major is the coldest of the cold, even retired professional players can not be recruited. Basketball is also the main ball teaching program in schools, so students have mastered a lot of basketball skills since they were young, and also developed the habit of using basketball as a sport and exercise, while soccer has become a niche program because not many people can play it. According to the latest data, China's basketball coaches licensed number of 700,000 people, while the number of soccer coaches less than 30,000, the contrast between this set of figures is a bit big! This is also the real reason why people are keen on basketball. Of course, there is also the reason for the venue, basketball court is small cost is very low. And soccer field area is expensive, maintenance costs are extremely high. Years of real estate impact of the serious rise in land, "rather than repair a not very useful soccer field would be better to build two commercial buildings, the middle of the two basketball courts can also support." By this real estate squeeze under the serious influence of the idea of the number of soccer fields and then before 2010 are on a downward trend, in recent years by the national real estate supporting facilities construction policies, urban mass fitness venues mandatory provisions of the construction and campus soccer development tasks of the mandatory indicators of the limitations of the soccer field around the world before an increase. However, the vacancy rate is very high did not get the actual use, the reason is the maintenance costs and utilization rate is not high.
No cultivation where the hobby, no contact where the interest! Although from the hot Chinese Super League, soccer to be a lot more than basketball investment crazy, but the impact of these gold dollars can not change the basketball in the national heart of the status. From the basketball, football two associations to develop a strategic development direction to the development of basic mass sports trends, from the national fitness hobby to the number of grassroots coaches of their respective sports, it is not difficult to see that China's soccer in the population base, the number of coaches, the number of venues and other important bases are completely at a disadvantage, and also subject to the serious constraints of physical education. That's why basketball will always be the number one ball game in China.
This question was asked by people who play basketball, and people often have visual biases because of their own factors. For example, if someone in the family is pregnant, you can often see pregnant people on the street, it's not that there are a lot of pregnant people, it's just concern. I play soccer, and often take my son to play soccer, and in the park near my house, there is a large open area where many people play soccer. There are those who practice by themselves, father-son pairs, and a group of foreigners who come regularly on weekends to play soccer. Did you play basketball? Yes. But I basically don't pay attention to it, so from my perspective, there are way more people playing soccer than basketball in that park. But my view is definitely skewed. I'm sure people who don't play sports don't pay much attention to either the number of people who play basketball or the number of people who play soccer.
As for what people are really passionate about doing? I think there are more people playing badminton. Because I do have more people around me playing badminton.
Really want to do a relatively objective judgment, need to look at objective data. Most of what people think of as objective data is actually biased subjective impressions.
In fact, the reason for this is very simple, soccer is kicked with the feet, learning is complex, basketball is played with the hands, learning is simple, after all, are not professional, of course, to learn simple, this is the main reason.
Secondly, fewer soccer fields, more basketball courts, small and medium-sized cities, to find a soccer field is not easy, and find a basketball court everywhere, people are trying to convenient, exercise is the main purpose, of course, close to and convenient to solve the better.
In addition, playing soccer is more dangerous than playing basketball, after all, that is to use the feet to kick the ball, the power of the foot is much greater than the hand, there are no few beginners are not kicked by other people's feet, many beginners tend to be the first time to kick the ball, accidentally kicked the pain and give up playing soccer.
Furthermore, playing soccer is a big field, running up is very tired, generally poor physical strength and slow people, is not to choose to play soccer, poor physical strength, weak people would rather choose basketball, will not choose soccer.
In short, it is the figure of convenience, fear of injury, which makes a lot of people choose to play basketball, as for the enthusiasm for basketball, but also because people like to join in the fun, less people on the soccer field, more people on the basketball court, follow the crowd mentality driven, is another reason for the enthusiasm for basketball.
Basketball in China's development is very good, so the mass base is good, the government invested a lot, schools, units attach great importance to the degree is also high, so basketball in our country is also considered a fashionable thing, which in turn, is generally enthusiastic about basketball has a factor.
I'll answer it, it's very simple, there is no field to play soccer!
I think there are a few reasons why people are more interested in basketball than soccer:
1. Soccer is the world's number one sport because of its competitiveness and spectacle! So his technical requirements for athletes are also relatively high, without training, it is very difficult to play good soccer. Basketball relative to soccer, skills are not so strong, it is easier to get started, the average person to play casually, maybe a month to get started!
2. The soccer field is larger and more demanding! Soccer field field 110 meters, 75 meters wide, an area of 8250 square meters, while the basketball court is 28 meters long, 15 meters wide, an area of 420 square meters, that is to say, the size of a soccer field is equivalent to 20 basketball courts. And soccer needs to plant lawn, maintenance costs are very expensive, while the basketball court requirements are relatively low, concrete, plastic, wooden boards can be. So the requirements of the soccer field is too high leading to his number is relatively small, the people who play football will also be less. And almost every village and every school in the country has a basketball court, so there are a lot of people playing basketball?
3. China has never been a soccer powerhouse, the national team also entered the World Cup once, in recent years because the national football team's performance is too poor. This has led many people to scoff at the sport of soccer.
4. Many schools lack soccer fields and talents, so almost no soccer classes are held in schools, which inadvertently leads to many students can not contact the soccer, and can not experience the fun of soccer!
5. There is also a higher chance of injury in soccer compared to basketball, nowadays many Chinese families are only children, children are growing up in the grandparents, mom and dad's doting, many parents do not want their children to participate in this kind of dangerous sports!
I personally have these points of view:
First, the scoring system: Basketball's scoring system is more likely to attract people, the two sides often score points with each other, easy to mobilize the enthusiasm of the audience, the two sides of the audience fans alternately shouting, so the whole scene is very intense. And soccer a whole hour and a half but rarely scored, and may not even score, making it difficult for the average non-initiated audience to get into it.
Examples of life:Junior high school I participated in the school organization of the soccer game, our class came to watch the whole game is a blank face, the game is not finished on the run. And the basketball game, the audience shouted from the beginning to the end, because basketball is so direct, as long as the ball into the box shouting is finished.
Second, the audience: that why soccer influence is so great, like soccer audience will be so crazy? This is to return to the first point, the charm of soccer lies in the whole process of the game and a long time after the suppression of scoring that kind of thrill, which is incomparable to basketball, but soccer such an audience group is obviously much less than the audience group of basketball.
Example of life: most of my friends around me who like soccer are also very concerned about basketball, while those who like basketball pay very little attention to soccer, and even a lot of girls watch the NBA, have their own favorite stars.
Third, the venue problem: I am in a second-tier city (or a provincial capital) people grow up, we are here in the primary, junior high and high school can not have a soccer field, but there must be a basketball court, I believe that a lot of places, a lot of schools are also like this, then it is clear that such a condition is destined to play basketball people to play more than soccer. Speaking of which, we should think of why China has been that hanging like, without the most basic facilities, you are the king of the ball thrown into our country can not become a climate, because he simply can not contact the soccer, all sports are from the children to catch up with the Japanese in order to the rise of soccer, spent 20 years to create a domestic youth soccer league, in contrast to our 。。。。
Life example: the largest sports training base in our area is the provincial stadium, which all kinds of training are available, but surprisingly there is no soccer you dare to believe.
Fourth, the two balls are not the same environment, Chinese soccer in the world level is almost in a state of regression, while basketball is not only the boss of Asia, but also occasionally and the world's strongest team touch, plus also out of the Yao Ming such a world-class star, that in the eyes of the ordinary children, you will choose which kind of sports?
Fifth, in fact, there are many reasons, what playing basketball helps height ah and so on, but are not the main factors, in fact, the most fundamental reason is the atmosphere, why our country table tennis is the big brother, you are now around to find individuals can be and cut, the level of technology is not necessarily good, but that a lot of people will be exposed to the table tennis and badminton training is now how fierce the competition is fast becoming a pyramid scheme, and the competition is very fierce. The other side of the coin is that it's not a good idea.
I like basketball, to more like soccer, I really look forward to the day we like Japan and South Korea, in the elementary school secondary school soccer stadium can see the children active figure, that China from the world soccer powerhouse and how far it is?
I think basketball is more popular than soccer mainly because of the following reasons:
First, the basketball court area is small, the soccer field area is large, the maintenance cost is high. There are fewer soccer fields in the community, and the soccer fields in schools are generally not open to the public, which leads to people not having a place to go to play soccer.
Secondly, basketball is played with the hands and soccer is played with the feet. Hands have much better dexterity than feet. In comparison, it is easier to play basketball.
Third, the number of people limitations. Basketball does not require a high number of people, one-on-one, two-on-two, three-on-three and so on can play. Soccer has a requirement on the number of people, if the number of people is too small, it will be more tired to play.
Fourth, it is easier to score in basketball, and the players can easily get a sense of achievement, while in soccer, they may not be able to score a goal.
First of all, this is a false proposition.
There are several reasons for this, from the influence of the internet to the strength of the national team and the limitations of the field.
I remember when I was in high school, the basketball court, a set of people in the black, the soccer field is even more dusty Yang light saw countless pairs of legs running. That time the national football World Youth Cup Toulon Cup results are still good, that time Yao Ming in the NBA is also the peak, nowadays men's football and men's basketball are stuck in the mire can not pull themselves out.
The development of the network, the development of grassroots basketball, jitterbugs plus the king of the road to give the average basketball enthusiasts maximum exposure, imagine two people one-on-one kicking the ball against the so big empty goal will have who wants to see. In terms of individual spectatorship, soccer is far superior to basketball.
Furthermore, the most realistic problem is the problem of the site, the basketball court compared to the number of soccer field is much easier to build, easier to maintain. Soccer stadiums, on the other hand, are rarely built because they take up too much space and are detrimental to the GDP. Professional soccer fields are like vegetable fields, so you can imagine that ordinary enthusiasts do not even have a vegetable field. Basketball players can still compete with square dancers for turf, but soccer players don't even have a chance to compete for turf because there is no turf at all.
The problem of soccer is much more than just the problem of soccer itself, it is the epitome of the problem of our society, to play or not to play, is a problem.
Why is playing basketball nowadays a higher degree of enthusiasm for playing soccer, for this problem
If you ask a girl, you think the basketball game looks good or the soccer game, most of the girls may feel basketball it!
The reason may be surprisingly consistent: watching a soccer game, half a day can not see a goal, the feeling is not intense, not lively!
If you ask a boy, you are more willing to play basketball or soccer, I believe that many boys will choose - playing basketball!
Reason: won't run too tired, low entry threshold, venues everywhere, the key is that most of them are also free!
Putting aside the girls' point of view, let's talk about why boys are more interested in basketball than soccer today!
1, the number of people is good
In the case of basketball, as long as there is a basketball rack, one person can practice shooting; two people can be solo; three people can be solo pick up; four people can be 2v2; six people can be 3v3 ...
And soccer? If you want to play a 5-a-side, you have to get at least 10 people together, no rotating teams, and play for 2 hours, exhausted. Of course, Wang and his best friend tried, two people to play an 8-man field, the small penalty area to shoot the kind of, but in the eyes of others, it is the two psychopaths in the ball.
2, environmental constraints
The popularity of basketball courts is much higher than that of soccer fields, it is very simple to find a concrete area in the neighborhood, draw a line, it is a basketball half-court, pestle and mortar of a basketball hoop can be opened whole.
And the soccer field? The real site is not open to the (primary and secondary schools), very few neighborhoods to repair the 5-a-side soccer field, right! And to invest in plastic turf, and to build wire fences, and covers a large area, but also to invest in lighting equipment at night. For developers, it is not cost-effective at all.
3, charges
Good point of the basketball court, generally are packaged time billing, medium sites have packaged time billing and casual time billing, like neighborhoods and universities are basically free to indulge in Hi. So people who want to play basketball, so many kinds of paid and free options, so many people.
And soccer?
Free fields? What was the brother thinking? Apart from going to a university ground, but it's full of students and you get cleared when you're in gym class.
Pay to play, you have to get enough people to talk about it!
A friend of Wang's from Belarus once asked Wang why the soccer stadiums in your country are paid for. Their countries are free public **** fitness sports venues. Lao Wang, patted him on the shoulder and cast an envious glance!
4. Historical reasons
This is a heavy reason, and one that one can't help but want to spray. Once soccer, especially in '02 into the World Cup, the kind of for playing football enthusiastic degree, can be said to be unprecedented, as for there is no later, feel a little difficult. But after the World Cup, the incident of false matches will also be soccer into the trough, with the men's national team results of repeated defeats, repeated defeats, coupled with a series of black history of youth training faults, false matches, pay money on the field, corruption, etc. was raked out, China's soccer "infamy" resonates around the world.
Basketball, with Yao Ming's entry into the NBA, and the increased attention to NBA broadcasts and attention, basketball has become a sport that more parents and schools are more willing to train their children.
5, the threshold of the movement
It is very simple, in elementary school, we lack arm strength, difficult to carry out basketball shooting exercises, as the body grows up, gradually can be found, the threshold of basketball is getting lower and lower, do not want to get hurt when a shooter, as long as quasi, that is, the great God.
And soccer? Once in school, there is no soccer field conditions, two bottles of mineral water is the goal, do not need technical and tactical, as long as the run is not dead, I was a child soccer kid, soccer threshold is really low.
And grow up, physical confrontation afraid of injury, paddling and be scolded by teammates, defense who can not run for a while to gasp, stopping the ball like the national football team, shooting to hit the plane, the requirements of the body and the movement is also increasingly high.
