James naismith works as a physical education teacher at the YMCA Training School in Springfield, Massachusetts, USA. Inspired by the local children's favorite peach throwing game (that is, the game of throwing peaches into peach baskets according to certain rules), he nailed two peach baskets at both ends of the stands upstairs in the school gymnasium, and used football as a game tool to throw peaches into the peach baskets.
At first, there were no restrictions on the number of people and related rules, but after the test was divided into two teams on average, the teaching teacher threw the football from the sidelines to the court, and the two teams grabbed the ball and tried to throw it into the other team's peach basket.
With the popularity of the game, more and more people like this game, so james naismith changed the peach basket into a hoop and hung it on the Internet. Later, I cut the net and made the basket look like today.
And the rule 18 was made in 1892 to make the sport more interesting. With the passage of time, the rules and corresponding clauses were gradually improved, and it was clear that the number of people in each team was 5, and the service mode was changed to middle circle jump ball. The positions of striker, center and defender gradually appeared, and the center line, middle circle and free throw line were also drawn on the court.
