Meet China’s rural version of NBA: a day of CUN BA in villages of Zhongshan

Hey! It's Rafael Saavedra here, bringing you my latest video from an unforgettable trip to Zhongshan! 

I wandered into some villages of Shaxi, a small town with a big love for basketball. To my surprise, basketball fever was everywhere—just like me, the locals were crazy about the game! They told me that every village in Shaxi has its own basketball team, and I couldn't resist checking out a game of what they call "CUN BA", which is quite like China's rural version of the NBA. Trust me, you won't believe how intense and exciting it was! 

Ready to dive into Chinese village basketball? Let's go!
