Read the text. Basketball as a game appeared at the end of the nineteenth century. It was introduced by James Naismith. He wanted to train his student between the end of the football season and the beginning of the baseball season. He placed fruit baskets and organized nine-men teams who played with a ball used for football. Each team tried to throw the ball into the other team’s basket and at the same time tried to keep that team from throwing the ball into their basket. The student had a lot of exercise, they moved a lot about the gymnasium, jumped and ran. They liked the game and called it basketball.
