Each team has three players. The basketball players (运动员) are running and jumping in the hot
sun. Music is all around. In just twelve minutes, the game is over. But a new one starts right away (立
刻). How exciting!……
     This is streetball. It's much like basketball. But it's faster. People play it outside and it's interesting.
Usually, children play streetball on an open (露天的) court. They use only half of the court. What they
need is a basketball goal (球框). Children love lots of things about the game. “It's very nice to be out
side in the sun. And the music is great”, said BaiXue, fourteen, a girl in Shenyang.
     Some say streetball was from Europe (欧洲), others say it came from America. But now, boys and
girls in many countries like to play it. Streetball is a game for all.
