As if overnight, the "Village BA" caught fire.

This spontaneous basketball competition among the people has already shown a "starting prairie trend".

At present, Foshan, Ningbo, Fuzhou, Baotou, Jiujiang, Nanjing and other places have launched this competition, and more places are eager to try it.

  According to The Paper, in some places such as Guizhou, people from every mile and eight townships will flock to the village whenever the “Village BA” starts.

A rural basketball game in Taijiang County, Guizhou Province was praised by the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Zhao Lijian.

The consecutive games of "Village BA" can often be played from morning to late night, and individual games can be fought until dawn.

It's almost like a Chinese carnival.

The true meaning of basketball is to return to the street, to return to the original moment, to burn in the folk, just like Xintianyou was originally floating on the vast rivers and mountains, attracting people to indulge.

At the same time, "village BA" also produces an "ensemble effect" with the revitalization of rural culture, which is also the internal reason why "village BA" resonates widely.

  Whether it is basketball or football, building a solid mass foundation is the core proposition.

Only when the mass base is good can the level of competitive sports rise.

I believe that the popular scenes of "Village BA" have also allowed more people to see the power of basketball in China.

  Today's "national basketball fever" is also a continuation of past experience.

In the 1990s, we can also often see the popularity of "grassroots basketball".

If it is said that the Chinese men's basketball team, which created countless high-profile moments, gave birth to the popularity of folk basketball, then the popularity of the "Village BA" today is the most candid "support" for the Chinese men's basketball team in distress. collective cry.

  I don't usually play basketball, but there are several basketball courts next to the Olympic stadium where I often play.

I can feel that, here, basketball is hotter than football.

People of all ages, men, women, and children can shoot basketball here, which is something you can't see on a football field.

It is worth mentioning that Frisbee sports is also sought after by many young people because of its low threshold and social attributes.

  As far as my experience is concerned, the people who are still active in the folk football field in the city where they are located are mainly a group of "uncles", and very few young people play with us, let alone female kickers and spectators.

In the "Village BA" event, we saw its huge potential to attract all people to participate in the village and city.

According to this development momentum, "Village BA" is likely to lead the new fashion of basketball and become an important existing model of basketball power outside the league.

  On the surface, the form of mass fitness activities in one place is very scattered, and the professionalism of the game is quite insufficient, but it has greatly contributed to the stimulation of basketball interest, the promotion of basketball culture, and the discovery of basketball seedlings.

Just as Samba "Ronaldo" appeared on the streets of Brazil, the next Yi Jianlian and Zhou Qi can also appear on our streets.

  Over time, "Village BA" may complement professional leagues on more levels.

This in itself is an essential part of enriching and improving the national fitness system and building a strong sports country.
