After the founding of New China, the state attached great importance to the development of sports activities, and basketball has also developed vigorously. 1949 when new China was founded, China formed a college basketball team to participate in international competitions. Since then, the state has taken a series of measures, such as inviting the world-leading Soviet team 1950 to visit the competition in February, and organizing study and discussion, which greatly promoted the popularization and improvement of basketball in China. By the end of 1950s, basketball in China was close to the advanced level in the world. But after ten years of turbulent "cultural revolution"

Under the impact of "fate", the development of basketball in China has stagnated and regressed, widening the gap with the world's top teams. 197 1 year, China began to rectify and train young athletes. 1972 held national pentathlon ball games and gradually established its own league system. After 1973, international exchanges resumed. 1974 China began to participate in world competitions. China men's basketball team and women's basketball team won the Asian Championship with 1975 and 1976 respectively, which established the status of a strong Asian team and went to the world. 1977, China women's basketball team won the World Universiade.

At the end of 1994, China began to reform the basketball game system, trying to change the previous "tournament system" into the home and away game system, and at the beginning of 1995, the home and away games of the quarter-finals were piloted, with great success. So from the end of 1995, the competition system of Chinese basketball league was changed to the inter-annual home and away league, referred to as CBA league. This reform has pushed China basketball into a new development period. At the end of 20001,China women's basketball team also started to follow the example of men's basketball team and hold home and away league matches, referred to as WCBA league. In 2002, the 14th World Women's Basketball Championship, the world's highest level women's basketball competition, was successfully held in Jiangsu Province, China. This is the FIBA's affirmation of the achievements made in the development of women's basketball in China.

As of May, 2003, the best achievements of China basketball in the world series are as follows: the men's basketball team broke into the top eight in the world twice at the 1994 World Championships and the 1996 Olympic Games; China women's basketball team won the runner-up podium twice in 1992 Olympic Games and 994 World Championships.

Basketball is in China

First, the development of basketball in China.

Basketball was introduced to China from 1895 by David Willard Lyon, the first director-general of China Tianjin YMCA sent by American YMCA International. Up to now, it has a history of more than 100 years, and it has become a popular social and cultural form in China, an educational discipline in the field of educational science, and a competitive sports with a key development in the field of competitive sports.

After basketball was introduced into China, it developed and competed according to social changes and basketball skills and tactics.

Activities are divided into three stages and seven periods:

The first stage is 1, 1895- 1949 (where 1895- 19 18 is the first stage,1919).

This is the first period after basketball was introduced to China. Basketball is mainly played in YMCA organizations in limited cities such as Tianjin, Shanghai and Beijing, and among a few students in some middle schools or above. On 19 10, the men's basketball team was listed as the performance item of the first national games of old China, and it was listed as the official competition item on 19 14. The women's basketball team was listed as an official competition on 1930. During this period, basketball has not been popularized among the broad masses of urban and rural people, the scope of promotion is extremely narrow, and there are few competitions. The overall level of competition results at home and abroad is low.

2. 1949- 1995 is the second phase (of which 1949- 1965 is the fourth phase, 1966- 1978 is the fifth phase,/kloc-0.

After 1949, the spread, popularization and development of basketball in China entered a new stage. The people's government actively advocates the fitness policy of "developing sports and strengthening people's physique". Basketball, with its simple, convenient, antagonistic, interesting, fitness and educational functions, has quickly become a favorite sport of the broad masses of the people under the planning and organization of governments at all levels. In the early 1950s, the competent government department set up a basketball management organization to advocate the technical style of "being ruthless, quick, accurate and skillful" and the tactical guiding ideology of "taking ourselves as the main, attacking and quick". Subsequently, through summary and discussion, China Basketball established the training guiding ideology of "being brave, tenacious, proactive, quick, flexible, comprehensive and accurate". In the mid-1950s, Shanghai Institute of Physical Education invited foreign experts to recruit the first batch of basketball specialized graduate classes. By the mid-1960s, China's basketball career, basketball competitive level, social popularization, scientific research and the establishment of basketball concept and theoretical system had initially formed their own characteristics. History has proved that the year after 1949 was 17, the all-round development and improvement of China's basketball career, and it was the first glorious historical stage of China's basketball career.

In the middle and late 1970s, China resumed its legal position in international basketball organizations and stepped onto the international stage. Especially from the mid-1980s to the mid-1990s, the basketball cause in China has been further popularized, developed and improved: the basketball population ranks first in the world; The cultivation of basketball reserve talents forms a new supporting network; The research of basketball theory and application is getting deeper and deeper, and the results are remarkable; The level of basketball competition has made a historic breakthrough, and the national men's and women's teams have ranked first in Asia and reached the advanced level in the world. All kinds of basketball clubs have been established, and the cultural atmosphere, professionalism and commercialization of basketball games are getting stronger and stronger.

3. 1996 is a new period after the beginning of the third stage.

1996, chinese basketball association reformed the traditional competition system for the first time, and held the home and away leagues of Team A, Team B and Team B successively, gradually transforming into professionalism, and then promoting the process of basketball industrialization in an orderly manner. 1997 established a career-oriented basketball management center. 1998 China University Sports Association launched CUBA League. These have undoubtedly brought new vigor and vitality to China's basketball cause, and China's basketball is about to enter a new stage of development.

Second, the task and situation faced by China basketball competition.

1. The process of international basketball professionalization is developing rapidly, and the competitive level is constantly improving. Compared with American and European teams, China's top excellent teams are at an obvious disadvantage, and even South Korea, Japan and other countries in Asia have made remarkable progress, posing various threats to China's excellent teams.

2. At one time, the original network of training basketball reserve team was disrupted, and the reserve team of basketball competitive talents was in short supply. It is very difficult for high-level sports teams to alternate between old and new, and the phenomenon of green and yellow is serious.

3. The selection and training of coaches failed to form a scientific system.

4. Sports performance fluctuates from time to time, showing a downward trend to some extent.

5. With the deepening of China's political and economic system reform, the management system reform of competitive sports and its fields still lags behind.

6. In view of the deep-seated problems in basketball, the research on basketball theory lags behind, failing to form a complete system, and concepts and viewpoints failing to break through the shackles of traditional thinking. Scientific research does not attach importance to the combination with practice and the coordination with practice.

7. Mass basketball matches in most parts of the country still need to be popularized and developed.

In a word, it is the fundamental task of China basketball circle to understand and overcome practical difficulties, cheer up, seek a way out in the reform and climb the peak in the reform.

Third, the strategic countermeasures to develop basketball in China.

1, we should further unify our understanding, emancipate our minds, renew our concepts, comprehensively promote the comprehensive reform in the field of basketball, establish a new order in the reform, show a new look and climb to a new height.

2. Proceed from reality, further clarify the positioning goal of China's basketball competitive sports, and establish the correct policy and guiding ideology of basketball training.

3. Fully implement and deepen the basketball management system, improve laws and regulations, manage the ball according to law, form a new management network, straighten out the relationship between vertical and horizontal management functions, and establish a new basketball management model with China characteristics.

4. Making overall plans and adopting unconventional measures to train a group of coaches, athletes and referees with reasonable structure and high comprehensive quality is the hope of revitalizing China's basketball cause.

5. Grasp the training and growth law of excellent basketball talents, implement the policy of starting from schools and focusing on teenagers, and cultivate and reserve basketball reserve talents in various ways.

6. Actively advocate basketball scientific research, establish China's novel basketball theoretical system and training practice scientific program, and promote the scientific level of training, competition, management and education.

To improve the competitive level of basketball in China, we should pay attention to the above problems and take effective measures to solve them properly.
