I've been watching a Filipino wild-card team play on B.com, I think it's called "Not Much".
It's funny, I was watching it as a joke, but it's very moving.
First of all, they really played the game, there were rules, not just a bunch of nonsense.
Then, the conditions are really poor, poor, sometimes it is a basketball hoop on the land, the ground is crooked, so the "home court advantage" that is a real advantage, not a joke. The people, sometimes flip-flops, sometimes barefoot.
Barefoot jump shot you dare to believe?
Finally, they play for profit. By betting on the game, which is definitely illegal in our area, and legal on theirs. So it's still a small industry, it's possible to make a living off of playing ball.
Watching this gave me a big shock.
Then I saw the Village BA and I thought this is the same thing.
We're still in a much better position than they are, and we don't need to gamble to support ourselves, and there's a bigger audience, and it goes viral on the internet.
It's the right path.
Because that's how basketball is supposed to be.
Why is e-sports so popular now, ah, because the threshold is low, everyone has a computer, a cell phone, at any time you can have a hand.
How high is the sense of participation?
I'm sure there are a lot of people who love basketball, but there are a lot fewer of them who can play basketball on a regular basis.
Time issues, physical issues, court issues, personnel issues.
There are too many factors.
So ah, have to take one step at a time, do not have the conditions to play, can we watch the game together ah.
Watch the game first. lol I haven't touched it in years, but I haven't missed MSI and S. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to make it to the next game.
Take your time, don't rush.
I believe that the atmosphere is up and it's much more important than getting any ranking or gold medal. I don't remember the basketball atmosphere being this good just in the last couple years, I remember it being great when I was a kid. I still remember when I was a kid, I played half-court extra hard because there was only one court, and once I lost, I had to wait for more than an hour before I could play, and there were people playing on the court from morning to night. In the past two years, it's just that the tools of communication have become more popular, and everyone can take videos and post them online.
Even if the basketball atmosphere is better, it won't help Chinese basketball. Because Chinese basketball players are basically through the youth training clubs from childhood training, and youth training clubs to pick people mostly through the introduction of acquaintances, or sports celebrities descendants. For example, we are familiar with Guo Allen, Zhang Zhenlin, like President Yao's father is also a basketball player. Yi Jianlian parents are also professional athletes.
So in China to play on the professional game, relationship and background accounted for a large proportion, only a very small portion of the three white people can play on the professional game, three white people to play on the professional game is really the strength is very outstanding, otherwise it is really difficult to be found.
Compared to the United States, Europe and other basketball powerhouses, there are a lot of people from the slums, they can play in the professional league lies entirely in the United States, Europe's mature basketball system, so that you as long as you have the strength to play on the ball, relationship and background is not very significant, some times instead of a liability. For example, LeBron, Wade, Garnett, Butler, Iverson, etc., are all broken families, grew up in the ghetto to play. And when these guys are put to us, they are basically a wild court bully who can't play in the pros.
As well as these two years CBA because of the epidemic continued to lose money plus that a bit of a problem with the rules and restrictions, the player salary is not high and not free, a lot of college celebrities would rather go to the wild court, are not going to go to play professionally, after all, when the netroots than as a professional player to earn more money, and the fame is still high.
Villages and towns themselves are lonely and have a lot of free time, in addition to the square dance lack of popular programs. And basketball may just fill the gap. For the village basketball I personally believe that let it free to develop on the good, do not bother too much, this weak foundation once the commercial breath into the flavor. Like Guizhou where the fire after a lot of netroots players went over, just two days ago to brush and netroots players and where the players erupted into conflict.
Recently the ongoing game, the crowd is also very large:
