In the United States, college basketball or social (including NBA) basketball is a kind of communication combining local culture, similar to CBA in China, but college basketball in China is very different from college basketball in the United States. Many times, whether in Chinese mainland or Taiwan Province Province, college basketball is just a game that "educational authorities" have to deal with. It (referring to college basketball in China and Taiwan Province Province) has many places. In fact, it is for the competition, and the purpose is also written as "high-sounding". However, so far, maybe I'm just ignorant, so I really don't see any special cultural significance.
Take the first-class basketball match in Taiwan Province Province as an example. In many games, you can't see the so-called "hard work of young people" at all. What I saw was more than three-fifths. To see the enthusiasm of young people, such as college basketball games in the United States, you need to go to college games in the second or third year. But you will find that you may not see any cultural atmosphere except the results of the ball games of the second and third grade college students in Taiwan Province Province. It (referring to college basketball in Taiwan Province Province) is basically a kind of competition, which is completely different from the college competition in the United States, including cheerleading, school home, alumni association, local cultural activities and so on. However, I don't know if China is like this!
