The first is the national cultural customs, for example, most children in the United States can play basketball, while most children in China can only run and table tennis, and only those with super abilities can dig it out. The talent and atmosphere of basketball determine the development of this sport in a country.
Hobbies should be cultivated from adulthood. In the United States, the honor of entering the school basketball team is greater than the first place in the class exam. In China, if you win the first place in the basketball game, you will still be rejected by the teacher. Therefore, children missed the opportunity to "make friends" with basketball in the golden age. Atmosphere is also one of the most important conditions. There will be a set of sports facilities such as basketball courts anywhere in the United States, whether it is a first-tier city or a slum. In China, some first-tier cities don't even have a complete basketball court, and indoor basketball court is a luxury.
Yao Ming, chairman of chinese basketball association, took office to change the basketball pattern in China. However, it is difficult for the China men's basketball team to rise because China people are carried away by interests and people are unwilling to change, and China basketball team is unwilling to change.
