“村BA”前身是贵州省黔东南州台盘乡台盘村举办贵州省“美丽乡村”篮球联赛。这场当地村民一年一度的篮球赛，经由短视频火爆全网，网友们仿照“NBA”“CBA”，称之为“村BA”。2023年“村BA”继续火爆，除贵州省外，北京、天津、河北、辽宁、吉林、黑龙江、江苏、山东等地也举办类似比赛。之所以在中山如此火爆，也是因为2023年中山沙溪夺得全国“村BA”冠军，而且今年中山沙溪队卫冕全国“村BA”篮球赛总冠军！

The origins of "Village BA", or “Cun BA”, can be traced back to the "Beautiful Village" basketball league, an annual event held in Taipan village, Taipan township, Qiandongnan prefecture, Guizhou province. This grassroots basketball tournament has gained immense popularity through short videos on the Internet, prompting netizens to dub it "Village BA," in a playful nod to the "NBA" and "CBA." In 2023, the fervor for "Village BA" showed no signs of waning, with similar competitions being held not just in Guizhou but also across various places including Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Jiangsu, Shandong and more. Zhongshan's enthusiasm for the game is particularly noteworthy, fueled by Zhongshan Shaxi's victory in the national "Village BA" championship in 2023. Moreover, Zhongshan Shaxi Team defended their title as the champion of the China’s Village Basketball Competition this year. As a result, the basketball spirit in Zhongshan is expected to reach new heights in 2024.

在如今的中山，“村BA”已经发展成为一项丰富多彩的赛事活动。不仅有传统的村级篮球联赛，还有各类行业“BA””球赛。这些赛事不仅丰富了人们的体育生活，也促进了各行业之间的交流与合作。中山市政府在篮球场地建设方面也给予了大力支持。新建、改造了一批篮球场，提高了球场建设标准，让群众能更舒适地打球。

Today, "Village BA" in Zhongshan has evolved into a vibrant and diverse sporting event. Beyond the traditional village-level leagues, there are now industry-specific "BA" tournaments and various other ball games. These events not only enrich the sporting lives of the people but also facilitate exchanges and cooperation across different industries. The Zhongshan municipal government has provided strong support in venue construction by newly building and renovating a number of basketball courts. With improved facilities, the public now enjoys an even more comfortable and enjoyable playing experience.
