Tian Jun can't forget that ball game, when he just arrived at the high school in the county seat. The clock came to the last 2 minutes of the game, and in order to win this game, he and his team had to win four points in a row in the final moments of the game to turn the tide of the game.
Tian Jun endured the severe pain caused by the cramps in his legs, stood up, then fell, stood up again, and then fell down again, for Tian Jun, who had no substitutes, he could only choose to persevere. When the whistle blew at the end of the game, Tian Jun's team turned defeat into victory and successfully defeated the opponent with 4 points in a row.
Basketball: A life is also an attitude
I got into basketball when I was in elementary school, and I played with my senior classmates at that time, and to be precise, I only started playing basketball when I was in junior high school. Tian Jun recalled the time when he first came into contact with basketball, and he couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic.
The town's primary and junior high school facilities are generally average, and unlike the rubber courts that are now popular, when Tian Jun first encountered basketball, the facilities were more wooden boards and wooden baskets.
When I was in junior high school, I was the one who played basketball, and the basketball atmosphere was not very good, but the atmosphere was good in high school. In Tian Jun's view, unlike when only a few students participated in ball games in junior high school, every ball game organized by the school in high school was crowded with onlookers and cheers.
Tian Jun, who grew up in Xiangxi Township, Hunan, studied high school in the county seat. At that time, Tian Jun's Yuanling County No. 2 Middle School had four regular basketball courts, and although they were all cement floors, each of them was equipped with a regular basketball hoop.
Tian Jun and his friends are not afraid of the cold winter and heat, and sweat on the court every day. "When I was younger, I enjoyed playing basketball, it was a passion, a joy. "The school organizes basketball competitions every year, and the competition is based on the class, and every player "fights" for the honor of the class.
Different from Tian Jun's childhood basketball dream inspired by his playmates, Zhang Zheng from Shennongjia Forest District, Hubei Province, developed a love for basketball after watching "Slam Dunk".
Zhang Zheng grew up in a small town in the wooded area, where his father worked for the local Internal Revenue Bureau, and he grew up playing with his father's colleagues, and it was those uncles who taught him the basics of basketball. "It's just playing with them that I like this thing (basketball). Zhang Zheng recalled.
Shen Jie also grew up in Songbai Town, Shennongjia Forest District, and he was exposed to basketball in basketball competitions held in elementary school. "At that time, I played with my classmates, and I have been playing since then. As soon as Shen Jie mentioned the time he played basketball before college, he remembered that during the preparation for the third year of high school, whenever he was stressed, he would go to the basketball court to play basketball, sweat, relax and release pressure.
Unlike them, Huang Jiasheng, from Guigang, Guangxi, has lived in a village with a strong basketball atmosphere since he was a child. "We have a basketball team in our village, and we have watched them play since we were young, and I admire them, so even though the village facilities are very poor, there is no formal basketball court, and there are only simple wooden baskets in the village, after I went to junior high school, the school has a regular court, and I started to learn basketball. Huang Jiasheng said with a smile.
Basketball is an indispensable part of Wong's life. Sometimes when he goes on a business trip or goes to other places for internships, he will inquire about the location of the nearby basketball court as soon as he arrives at the place where he lives, so he calls himself "addicted to food", "just a feeling of playing very comfortably, that is, very happy, and enjoying the feeling of running." ”
Huang Jiasheng has never worried about no one to play basketball with him, as long as there is a basketball court, he can make good friends who play basketball. Now, whenever he has the opportunity, he will get in the car of his golfer and cross more than ten kilometers into the city to play.
After coming to Wuhan to go to university, Shen Jie also insisted on playing basketball. Whenever he returned to Shennongjia during the holidays, he would participate in competitions organized by the local community. "The competition is organized by the forest area, and the teams are formed by units or towns. Shen Jie introduced, "Everyone is more for exercise, and they are usually busy with work, which is also an opportunity to meet more people." ”
In Shen Jie's view, participating in basketball games is a happy thing, not only can you get some guidance from your seniors, but you can also become friends with your seniors. Interestingly, most of the contestants are "post-70s" and "post-80s", but there are not many young people. "On the one hand, they know that they are getting older, so they will come to play basketball whenever they have the opportunity, and they cherish this opportunity, and on the other hand, they also had basketball dreams when they were young, and they naturally want to come and learn from each other when they have such a platform. ”
Tian Jun participated in the basketball varsity team when he was in high school.
Ball game: the platform that the heart desires
For basketball enthusiasts who grew up in townships, township-level competitions are a platform for them to compete, and the holding of these competitions often requires the support of competent authorities and funds.
It is usually played between the units in the town, and it is played in the stadium in the wooded area. Zhang Zheng recalled, "Every year, the Bureau of Culture and Sports organizes such competitions, and sometimes invites people from outside (other places)." ”
In fact, in the past, the competitions organized by the town were supported by the funds of the business owners, and in the past two years, we have held a competition by the company. Huang Jiasheng said frankly.
Yuanjin Village, Zhangmu Town, Qintang District, Guigang City, where Huang Jiasheng is located, holds a basketball game every year, and whenever the New Year is approaching, the Yuanjin Village Village Committee will jointly hold an invitational tournament with other surrounding village committees. In Wong's view, this kind of invited star will make the game in town more exciting, and many spectators are attracted to the stadium by the stars.
In addition to the organization of the competent department, the township level competition will often attract some corporate sponsorship, generally used as the fund for the organization of the game, so the township basketball game will often be named after the name of the enterprise, which is also a form of advertising for enterprises.
In addition to the township games during the Chinese New Year, Zhangmu Town, where Huang Jiasheng is located, will also have basketball events on festivals such as National Day and New Year's Day. There is no threshold for participation, local residents can participate, and the schedule is often not fixed, and several villages have made an appointment to start the competition. Participating in this kind of township competition can be regarded as "commonplace" for Huang Jiasheng.
In Huang Jiasheng's view, the village competition he participated in was not official, and many of the spectators in the stands were attracted by the stars invited by the sponsors, and the participation of the audience and players was not very high, "It was more casual and not formal enough." Huang Jiasheng said frankly.
In fact, whether or not their township can host a basketball game is closely related to the local basketball atmosphere.
The basketball atmosphere in Tian Jun's county is not good, although there is also a county basketball team in the county, but it is a team that participates in professional competitions. He has played basketball for many years, but he has not participated in many officially organized events, which is a little regrettable. "I heard that Chenxi County next door has started to hold a 'village BA', but I haven't heard that we have such a competition here. ”
In this regard, Zhang Zheng and Shen Jie also feel the same way. In their view, although there are official competitions in the Shennongjia Forest District, they are all participated by administrative institutions and state-owned enterprises, and there are not many competitions organized by non-governmental organizations.
A neat court where Shen Jie often plays basketball
Compared with the official ball games organized by the administrative units, although they are also grassroots competitions and are open to basketball fans, basketball games organized by the private sector face more obstacles. Zhang Zheng remembered the "Sunset Slow City" basketball game that he had worked hard to organize with his good friend Chen Youpeng.
The idea of "Sunset Slow City" is the famous "Sunset Dongdan" folk basketball game in Beijing, and "Slow City" is another name for Songbai Town, Shennongjia Forest District. At that time, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the competition, they set up a special age separation, and players over 30 years old and under 30 years old competed separately; Considering that there are not many people playing basketball in the forest area, the players know each other, and in order to prevent match-fixing with each other, they also introduced an on-site lottery mechanism, that is, 5 people will be divided into a team on the spot; In order to promote the competition, they also specially designed posters, erected signs, and also contacted the local cultural and sports bureau to obtain corresponding subsidies.
Just as the preparations for the game were in full swing, a heavy rain postponed the game schedule, which lasted for half a month, and the basketball game that Chen Youpeng and others had worked hard to prepare was over.
Recalling the reason for organizing the competition, Chen Youpeng said: "At that time, I just wanted everyone to have a competitive competition after work.
In Chen Youpeng's view, there were too few local competitions, and the enthusiasm of the golfers was very high, but because it was a non-governmental organization, there was a lot of resistance from the organization at that time. On the one hand, it is more susceptible to external force majeure factors, such as bad weather; On the other hand, in addition to the need for golfers to "generate electricity for love" campaign, it is also necessary to find sponsors who can provide funds for basketball games, and at the same time have sufficient social benefits (including economy, culture, etc.), so as to obtain the help of the local cultural and sports bureau. These are all common obstacles faced by non-governmental self-organized events.
It used to be difficult to organize such a competition, but now it's much better. You look at the 'village ba' and 'village super' that exploded last year, which actually proved that the original idea was correct. Chen Youpeng sighed.
"Village BA": a new idea for township basketball games
At the beginning of 2023, the popular "Village BA" opened up new ideas for township basketball competitions, and a basketball game with extensive participation of the people and active organization of the government came into people's eyes.
The "Village BA", or village basketball game, originally referred to the "Beautiful Village" basketball league in Guizhou, which later attracted widespread attention across the country and was imitated by various places.
Huang Jiasheng participated in the 2023 "Agricultural Reclamation Cup" 7th Guangxi Wancun Basketball Tournament and Guangxi Community Games Township-level Competition. "Each village has its own team, and the audience is here to cheer for their village. Huang Jiasheng said excitedly.
According to the "Guangxi **" report, the "Nongken Cup" 7th Guangxi Wancun Basketball Tournament and Guangxi Community Games will be held in 111 counties (cities and districts) in 14 districted cities in the region, divided into townships, counties, districted cities and autonomous regions of four level events, the participating units are administrative villages, and the athletes are villagers.
Huang Jiasheng participated in a basketball game
In Huang Jiasheng's view, this "village BA" basketball game is very different from the basketball games organized by the village committees of various villages and villages that he participated in before.
In the registration mechanism, the "Nongken Cup" is relatively much more formal, and in the township-level competition, each village team can only participate in the village members with their ID cards, so that each player can truly represent their own village; In terms of popularity, because they are all ordinary villagers participate, the audience cheers for the team from the heart, the villagers have a stronger sense of participation, and the atmosphere of the ball game is stronger; Benefiting from the strong support of the relevant competent departments of counties (districts) and townships (towns), the ball game is not as commercial as the usual village game, and it is a more simple mass game.
Recalling the crowded audience on the court, in Huang Jiasheng's view, this game has truly achieved the participation of the whole people, and the ball game is no longer just an activity for basketball lovers to participate in.
It's not just about cheering, everyone wants their village to win. Huang Jiasheng still remembers the competition held in Paihoutun, Qintang District. At that time, there were only a few seconds left in the game, and Huang Jiasheng's village team was 2 points behind the opponent and was about to lose the game, when one of his teammates threw a three-pointer, and everyone's eyes were attracted to the basketball on the basket. "Our fans and players jumped all over. ”
Although in the end, Huang Jiasheng's village team only won the second place at the township level and missed the district competition in Qintang DistrictBut the cheers and cheers in the stadium made Huang Jiasheng enjoy it
In fact, despite the different regions, Tian Jun, Zhang Zheng, Shen Jie, Chen Youpeng, and Huang Jiasheng all have a consensus, that is, they hope to hold more basketball games around them. As Shen Jie mentioned, "It is to give us a platform for golfers to learn and communicate, after all, many fans are old, and after having a family, they will not have more time to spend on basketball, which makes it necessary to hold a ball game." ”
