The Olympic Games always attract the eyes of the world, and the London Olympics was noexception, among which basketball was one of the most attractive projects. Chinese men’sbasketball team, as a traditionally strong team in Asia with high hopes, has grown rapidly inrecent years. With Yao Ming as the team leader, the Chinese men’s basketball recorded breakingachievement that it has won the Asian Games and Asian Championships, and ranked the eighthin the Olympic Games twice. In2011, Yao Ming seriously injured again and announced hisretirement, which was a heavy blow for the Chinese men’s basketball team which was in itsrising stage, but the players withstood the pressure and won the championship of men’sbasketball game in the2010Asian Games; in World Championships in Turkey it only ranked the16thwith luck; in Asian Championships in2011, under the new official rules, with one pointadvantage it got the chance to take part in London Olympics in the final. Without Yao Ming, theChinese team needed to make greater efforts and beat all the powerful enemies on the road ahead,if it wanted to equal or exceed previous achievements. What’s more, whether they can adapt tothe new rules and the court was also the key factor determining the result.Coming along with the birth of basketball, the basketball rules have achieved continuousimprovement in the development of basketball and ensured a comprehensive and orderlydevelopment of basketball.
