1. The overall level of professional basketball in China is the top in Asia, even though the national team recently lost some important events. These three views should be correct.
2. This answer does not discuss the physical education college students in China, nor does it involve the basketball level of Japanese high school students.
Although I hate having to describe my qualifications before speaking to increase the persuasiveness of my speech, some friends suspect that I am a basketball idiot, with no judgment and boasting at random. In order to let everyone have a benchmark for judgment, I added some personal information.
I think the talent of basketball is not only height and physique, but also the sense of ball and basketball IQ. Therefore, although the Japanese are far less talented in height than China, as Asians, their innate sense of the ball and basketball IQ should be on the same benchmark as ours, and the average height of the Japanese is not as low as that of short people (the average height of men is slightly higher than that of China), so there is no problem that they are not suitable for playing basketball.
The purpose of writing this answer is to clarify the wrong statement that the basketball level of Japanese colleges and universities is vulnerable. Introduce some real situations, and have no intention of comparing advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, the original sentence is deleted here to judge the pros and cons of both sides subjectively, which leads to confusion. Please forgive me.
The answer of a netizen who has participated in the Tokyo non-professional club is also very pertinent. I hope you can refer to:
Let me talk about myself first. I am an international student studying in Japan. When I was in high school in China, my height soared to 196 cm, and my figure was thin, which was more prominent in the south, but I never received professional training because of my parents' wishes. Always play wild ball, center or power forward. Self-evaluation, average offensive ability, but because of his height and long arm, his counterpoint defense and coping ability are not bad. It's also easy to play wild ball.
Now my school is in Kansai, and the private basketball department ranks second or third in Kansai universities. (This year is the second place)
When I was a freshman, I applied to join the basketball department because I didn't understand the difference between the basketball department and the club. I persisted for about a month, gave up and quit. Let me explain why. Because the "departmental activities" of Japanese universities are a very close and time-consuming organization, and they are two concepts with general loose associations. Take my basketball department as an example. I study separately from 9 am to 6: 20 pm and start training after class. Every night from 7: 00 to 9: 00 is intensive training, followed by free training, and the retreat is about 10. However, Japanese universities generally do not set up dormitories on campus. It's 1 1 every night when I get home. This kind of training has six days a week, except Monday 1 rest. Then it will last from the beginning of school to about two weeks before the exam. What about winter and summer vacations? I won't rest. Besides training every day, we will go to other places to sleep together, such as Hokkaido in summer.
Let's talk about the training content of our school. I don't touch the ball in the first half of training every day. They are all basic physical training. Then there are half-court attack and defense drills, two or three people's pick-and-roll coordination, and passing route drills. To tell you the truth, maybe I was born in a small place, and I have never seen such systematic training in any school in China before.
As for the actual level of this school, I think it can also represent the average level of Japanese universities: 1, and there are few tall centers or power forwards (the center is less than 1.9 meters). There are many people with good defense, good ball control, fast speed and three points. 2, physical fitness is very good, because there is good physical training as a guarantee, so everyone can run well, their basic tactics are to play fast and be in good health. 3, 3 points are very accurate, with a semi-professional shooting rate. If you miss three points in the practice match, you will be scolded by the coach. 4, the basic skills are very good, think about it, touch the ball six days a week, can you? 5. Pay more attention to strength training. As far as I can see, Japanese young people who are thinner and taller are playing volleyball. 6. They pay attention to strategy. Regional defense and full court press are tactics that must be practiced every day. As for the next fast break, it's as easy as everyday. Generally speaking, the Japanese style of play is completely different from that of China. We usually play half-time. The Japanese never play half-time. Even if we play, we play the whole game. Moreover, basketball is not an exclusive game for tall people in Japan. On the contrary, there are many short people flying all over the field.
Seeing that they all spent their college days in the basketball department like this, don't think this school is special and fake. Because of the whole team, the only person who wants to play professionally after graduating from college is the captain (he signed a professional team in Tokyo). Others still have to do what they want to do after graduation. I am as curious as you are. I think they are idiots, neglecting their studies to engage in sports. Later, I asked a lot of people to understand that this is a unique campus culture in Japan. Participating in departmental activities will give you an advantage when you take office in the future. Because the company thinks that these people are strong and can do a lot of hard work; And good coordination, adapt to team work, can obey the command, and have a strong sense of collective honor.
For the professional basketball level of the two countries. I think that although China can compete in Asia, it mainly depends on the protection of the state system. Young people who really like basketball often have no good facilities, venues and systematic training. Although the professional level in Japan is not so good, the basic reserve is endless, because every young person who is interested in basketball has enough time and conditions to enjoy it. I often think that if our country likes young people who play basketball, it would be great to have a holy place like Koshien of Japanese baseball.
Although basketball is not popular in Japan, it does not mean that the enlightenment in Japan is later than that in China. Japan has a large number of magicians and diehards in Jordan's time. In a special basketball store in Kobe, I once saw the magician's high school signature sneakers obtained by the owner, and the front page of The New York Times when the Bulls 1 won the championship. Many clothes in that shop are shipped directly from America, which is very expensive. The overall atmosphere is good, and many young people come to the store. Three TVs in the store are showing videos of NBA, NCAA and local professional leagues in Japan.
Regarding sports associations, I think there are many differences between China and Japan. I have asked many young people in Japan that since primary school, schools will force them to join a sports club and exercise regularly. Even if some schools are not compulsory, parents will encourage or even force them to join sports clubs. So Japanese boys in our school basically have their own sports clubs. Not to mention the level, it is not impossible for a Japanese sport to suddenly become stronger one day. It should be a normal state to put aside the utilitarian mentality and enjoy the fun brought by sports, rather than the criticism of teachers and the disapproval of parents.
