186 1 year 1 1.6, an ordinary craftsman in Ontario, Canada, a baby boy was born. Naismith, the young father, was very happy with his son's arrival. He named him James.
Young James is in his twenties. He looks ordinary, his academic performance is average, but he is good at sports. 189 1 year, at the age of 30, like most young people at that time, he came to the United States to seek his American dream.
Because he likes sports, James went to Springfield, Massachusetts (usually called "Massachusetts") to be a PE teacher. Although the winter in Massachusetts is not particularly cold, it is very long. In order to let the students pass the boring spare time, he was ordered to find a group sport that could be played indoors.
He was also a football coach at McGill University in Canada, but he thought American football was full of fun, but it was too barbaric and easy to get hurt. So he absorbed the advantages of football and invented the earliest basketball game from the game in which children in his hometown threw the ball into the peach box.
James naismith plays a decisive role in the development of basketball and the formulation of rules. 13 of the basketball rules he specified at that time, 12 is still in use today.
From 65438 to 0898, he came to the University of Kansas and became the first basketball coach. 65438-0936, naismith attended the opening ceremony of the Berlin Olympic Games and was awarded honorary president of the International Basketball Federation. As the father of basketball, he deserves it. At the same time, basketball has been officially included in the Olympic Games, which has taken a solid step towards the world in the future.
The extremely high playability and competitiveness make basketball popular in the United States in a short time. 1892 introduced to neighboring Mexico and officially went abroad. Later, it was introduced to France, Britain, China (Sun Liren, a famous anti-Japanese general, loves to play basketball, and once led the China men's basketball team to beat Japan and the Philippines as a formal athlete to win the Far East Games), Lebanon, Brazil, Australia and other countries, and it has been popularized and developed all over the world.
ancient times
Time came1June 6th, 946. The familiar NBA (North American Men's Professional Basketball League) was formally established in new york. (The first basketball organization in the world is NBL, which was founded in 1896. However, due to the imperfect rules and institutions, it existed in name only after several seasons of operation. )
During the season of 1949~ 1950, the first real superstar-george mikan appeared in the NBA. Stand at 2. 1 m and become a giant of that era. He led the Minneapolis Lakers to five championships in the next six years.
1956, a big black center was selected by the St. Louis Hawks in the second round, and was randomly traded to the Boston Celtics, officially stepping on this stage. Four years later, 1960, the Lakers moved from Minneapolis to Los Angeles. In the same year, another big man, wilt chamberlain, joined the Philadelphia Warriors, and a bloody battle was about to begin.
Chamberlain scored 43 points and 28 rebounds in his NBA debut, and broke one record after another in the following season, creating one miracle after another. 1962, he scored 100 in the game of new york Knicks, and this record has not been broken until today.
From the Philadelphia Warriors to the Philadelphia 76ers, and then to the Los Angeles Lakers, Chamberlain used his amazing talent to produce amazing data, but he never won the championship, because the winner of this era belongs to his arch-enemy bill russell. The latter won the 1 1 with the help of powerful teammates such as robertjoseph cousy, sam jones and Haval Richek, including eight consecutive championships. In the 1969 season finale, he defeated Chamberlain, who just moved to the Lakers, and announced his retirement after winning the last championship.
Since then, Chamberlain has formed a luxurious lineup with Jerry West and elgin baylor among Lakers teammates, and finally won two championships.
? Open a new era
Here, 1967, a new basketball organization ABA (American Basketball Association) announced the establishment of george mikan as its first president. In the first year, San Diego Rockets, seattle supersonics and other 12 teams joined the team, and famous players such as Julius Erving, rick barry, george gervin and moses malone emerged one after another, forming strong rivals with the NBA. (It was annexed by NBA in 1969 after poor management).
1969 draft, a giant of 2. 18 meters became the No.1 scholar and joined Milwaukee Bucks. At that time, his name was Algindo. Like many young people, Alkindo can produce beautiful statistics in every game, but he can never lead the team to victory. But he was lucky: the next year, the team got the star defender oscar robertson through a deal. The super combination of "Tiangou" and "Big O" dominated the league, and finally swept the Baltimore Bullets 4-0 in the finals and won the first championship in team history.
After the end of the season, Alkindo converted from Catholicism to Islam and changed his name to "Karim Abdel-Jabbar" (hereinafter referred to as Jabbar for convenience).
From 65438 to 0975, Abdel-Gabbar joined the Los Angeles Lakers, which helped the Lakers improve their record quickly, but he never made more achievements in the playoffs. Four years later, the Lakers selected a 2.06-meter-tall point guard with the No.1 pick. His name is Owen Johnson. The NBA has thus entered a new era.
After 9 years, Jabbar once again got a star defender as a teammate. Together, they sent the Lakers to the finals and staged a peak confrontation with the Philadelphia 76 ers led by Dr. J. In the fifth game, Jabbar sprained his ankle badly and had to retire for a truce. In the next two games, Johnson replaced him as the center and led the team to beat the 76ers to win the championship.
While the Lakers shine, the "old enemy" Celtic team is not idle. They also have their own superstar-larry bird. With the help of robert parish and kevin mchale, he became the biggest rival of the Lakers in the future.
As a result, almost the entire 80' s, there was a "yellow-green war" on the stage of NBA finals. The Lakers attacked the Celtics' tenacious and selfless team with gorgeous and flowing "performance time" and offered a wonderful visual feast for the fans. "Magic" Johnson and "Big Bird" Bird won and lost each other, became sincere friends, and were quoted as a much-told story. The NBA league is also known and loved by the world because of their positive and sunny image.
