求一篇介绍篮球的英文文章(最好有个对应的幻灯片就更好了,上课用)
对不起楼主只能给你文章,幻灯片没有。basketball. the world's greatest sport ever. but of course, it hasn't been around since the world began. no, somebody had to h**e invented it. and that somebody would be james na**mith. born in almonte, ontario, canada, th** canadian gym teacher and physician would soon be the founder of basketball. it all started in december of 1891. na**mith was teaching in springfield, massachusetts and was asked by luther h. gulick, the headmaster of the school for chr**tian works to make a new sport. the main idea of the sport was mainly to be played inside when it was too cold to go outside. the new sport also had to keep athletes in their top conditions between the baseball and football season. na**mith began to work. the first game-ball was a soccer ball. the first baskets were peach baskets that na**mith cleverly thought of hanging on the wall. from there, the legacy of basketball began. originally, there was 9 men to each team, but the objective was still the same; to pass the ball to other players on your team and put the ball in the opposing team's net, or basket back then. from there, basketball caught on like a wildfire. during 1885 highschools and colleges began to adopt the game, and by 1898, the first pro league was founded. after the first game played, na**mith drafted 13 rules and regulations, but many more were yet to come. the hoops we know today were invented in 1906. they were steel, with a net hanging from it's rim. 20210311
