BasketballBasketball is still a young game. It's a hundred years old. In the year of 1891, a certain college (某一大学) was having some trouble with its boy students. The weather was bad. They had to stay indoors. As they could not take part in their usual outdoor sports, they were unhappy, and some of them even went into fights from time to time.
Finally, some of the teachers at the college asked Dr Naismith to invent a game so that the students might have something to play at. It was not easy to invent such a game because it had to be played indoors, and the court (场地) was not very large.
Dr Naismith thought for a few days and invented a kind of ball game. It was a fast, exciting game with much moving and passing of the ball. It was played between two teams. In order to make a score (为了得分), the ball had to be thrown into a basket ten feet above the floor. At each of the court there was such a basket. At first, Dr Naismith had planned (计划) to have the ball thrown into a box. As he could not find boxes of the right size, he had to use fruit baskets.
Dr Naismith put two fruit baskets on the walls of both sides. There were nine players on each side. The players tried to throw the ball into the baskets. There were no holes in the bottom (底部) of the basket. When a ball went into the basket, it stayed there. The game had to stop. A player had to climb up to get the ball out. Later, net (网状) baskets were used. Their bottoms were cut out of the baskets.
At first, many people could play. Now only ten team members play the game. There are five players on each side. Basketball today is played in many countries.
