Basketball was invented by James Naismith in 1891. At that time, he taught at the International Training School of the YMCA in Springfield, Massachusetts.
Because peaches are abundant in the area, children here also like to play the game of throwing balls into the peach basket.
This inspired him to create basketball games by taking advantage of the characteristics of other ball games such as football and hockey.
At first, basketball games were relatively simple, and there were no restrictions on the size of the venue and the number of people participating in the games.
The players are divided into two equal teams, standing at both ends of the court.
After the referee throws the ball to the center of the court, the players of both sides rush into the court immediately to grab the ball and try to throw it into the opponent's basket.
Because the peach basket has a bottom, it will stay in the basket after the ball is hit.People have to climb a special ladder to get the ball out of the basket.

篮球运动是1891年由美国人詹姆斯·奈史密斯发明的。当时，他在马萨诸塞州斯普林菲尔德基督教青年会国际训练学校任教。由于当地盛产桃子，这里的儿童又非常喜欢做用球投入桃子筐的游戏。
这使他从中得到启发，并博采足球、曲棍球等其他球类项目的特点，创编了篮球游戏。
最初篮球游戏比较简单，场地大小和参加游戏的人数没有限制。比赛队员分成人数相等的两队，分别站在球场的两端，在裁判员向球场中央抛球后，双方队员立即冲进场内抢球，并力争将球投进对方的篮筐。
因为桃筐是有底的，球投中以后就留在篮子里，人必须登上专设的梯子才能将球从篮筐里取出。
