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 outside in the sun. And the music is great”, said Bai Xue, fourteen, a girl in
