同足球一样,篮球也有个世界杯,只不过这项赛事一直不是最高水平的篮球比赛,一度还被参赛各队当作奥运会的预选赛,所以无论从规模还是影响力上都不能同世界杯相提并论。而且为了避开奥运会,篮球世锦赛选择了和世界杯同年举行,这就更让它的受关注程度打了折扣。但近几年来,随着篮球在世界范围影响力的提高和各国篮协对大赛越来越重视,世锦赛已经不再是鸡肋了,而了解它五十六年的历史,我们会惊奇地发现很多有趣的人和事。 Like football, basketball also has a World Cup, but this event has not been the highest level of basketball game, was also participating teams as the Olympic qualifier, so both in terms of scale and influence can not be compared with the World Cup. And in order to avoid the Olympic Games, the World Basketball Championships selected and the World Cup held the same year, which even made its attention a discount. However, in recent years, with the increasing influence of basketball in the world and the Basketball Association of the world pay more attention to the competition, the World Championship is no longer a tasteless, and understand its 56-year history, we will be surprised to find A lot of interesting people and things.
