ABA，以前的专业篮球队，有九年的历史。在创建初期，只有十个队伍。NBA的扩张虽然是有必要的，

但是由于当时的巨大财政短缺，没有成立，所以，只成立了ABA。

NBA是NationalBasketballAssociation的缩写（国家篮球协会）。成立于1946年6月6日。成

立时叫BAA，即全美篮协会（BasketballAssociationofAmerica），是由十一家冰球馆和体育馆的老

板为了让体育馆在冰球比赛以外的时间，不至于闲置而共同发起成立的。BAA成立时共11支球队：纽约

尼克斯队、波士顿凯尔特人队、华盛顿国会队、芝加哥牡鹿队、克利夫兰叛逆者队、底特律猎鹰队、费城

武士队、匹兹保铁人队、普罗维登斯蒸气队、圣路易斯轰炸机队和多伦多爱斯基摩人队。1949年BAA吞

并了当时的另外一个联盟（NBL），并改名为NBA。1949-50赛季，NBA共17支球队。1976年NBA

吞并了美国篮球协会（ABA），球队增加到22支。

1980年达拉斯小牛队加入NBA。1988年，夏洛特黄蜂队和迈阿密热火队加入NBA。1990年奥兰

多魔术队和明尼苏达森林狼队加入NBA。1995年两支加拿大球队加入NBA，多伦多猛龙队和温哥华灰熊

队，使NBA的球队达到29支。

体育的时候，学校的校长让他为基督教的活动想出一种运动，而这种运动一定要在室内进行，因为室外很

冷。这种运动，按照校长的要求，一定要使运动员保持棒球和足球比赛时的激情。于是，他就开始思考这

项运动。经过思考，他想出了一种方法：在墙上挂网子，然后把球扔向这个用网子做的篮子里。从此，篮

球得以产生。本来，每个队伍有9个队员，但是规则是：把球传向自己队伍的队员，然后设法投向对方的

筐子里。从此，篮球就很快传播开来。1885年，高中和大学都开始采用这种运动方式，到1898年，第

一个篮球联盟成立。第一次比赛后，James设计了13个比赛规庄子最深意的十句精髓语录 则。篮球筐子的边缘框架是在1906年设

NBA巨星“大鲨鱼”奥尼尔将在姚明今年晚些时候在NBA摆喜酒时送给这位火箭队球星几个24英

寸的汽车轮，作为结婚礼物。

迈阿密热队的全明星中锋奥尼尔目前正在中国参加李宁公司组织的“侠客中国行”活动。

这位34岁的著名球星说：“我听说姚明娶了个漂亮的篮球运动员。”

“如果让我为姚明挑选一个结婚礼物，我会在他的婚宴上送他四个24英寸的定制车轮。”

很多NBA球星都喜欢定制车，又大又炫的车轮是他们的最爱。但姚明对此并不十分感兴趣，他更喜欢开

宝马7系列，而不是像法拉利和SUV那些较为奢华的车。其实，姚明的车唯一“特别定制”的地方就是车

后方的“Y&Y”（YaoMing&YeLi）标志。

上周，27岁的姚明与相恋八年的女友结婚。这位身高2米26的球员是NBA得克萨斯火箭队的中锋。

姚明和叶莉在国内办了两场婚宴，其中一场在姚明的家乡上海，另一场在中国国家篮球队的大本营北京。

姚明和叶莉的婚礼引起中国媒体的高度关注。曾为国家女篮队员的叶莉现在休斯敦大学读书。

一些报道称，姚明将于今年秋天在休斯敦宴请队友，奥尼尔相信姚明一定会邀请他。

他说：“我相信姚明一定给我发了请柬。”

“因为近来我到处跑，没空查邮箱。但我相信他一定会邀请我。”

奥尼尔见证了姚明在NBA五个赛季的成长，他在姚明刚加入NBA时，曾怀疑过他的能力，之后他改变

了对姚明的看法。

奥尼尔说：“无疑，姚明已经成长为NBA最好的中锋之一。”

“他攻防都很厉害。在和火箭队打比赛之前，我得做好充分的准备。”

“另一个小将（易建联）也很不错，能投、能扣，转身过人的速度也快。我相信他能在联盟立足。”

“我很高兴看到越来越多的中国球员加入联盟，这对于整个联盟来说十分有利。”

奥尼尔被认为是NBA最具统治力的中锋。他曾带领球队四次夺得NBA总冠军，其中三次是在洛杉矶湖

人队，夺得2000年至2002年赛季的冠军，一次是去年在热队夺冠。

去年，奥尼尔与中国的李宁体育用品公司签署了广告代言协议，自此，他就穿李宁牌的运动鞋了。

姚明高薪续约火箭成NBA顶级巨星

北京时间8月31日，姚明正式与火箭队续约，新合同为一份为期五年的

最大工资合同，将从06-07赛季开始，一直到2010-2011赛季。按照规

定，姚明新合同预计总价值将在7600万到8000万美元左右，这也使得

姚明NBA顶级巨星行列。
