The videos I watched became popular in ancient times

Chapter 314 Sports Lottery
With the expectations of ancient people from all dynasties, the anchor's sales session has finally come.

Most people are confused about the ball sports equipment sold tonight.

After all, the only people who know what ball games are are the small group of people who have read the introduction in the library books.

Under everyone's curious eyes, Su Chen took out the various balls he had prepared.

"Look, everyone, these are the various ball sports equipment the anchor mentioned."

Seeing the anchor placing balls of different sizes in front of the camera, people from all dynasties and generations blinked curiously.

In their opinion, there is no difference between these balls except their size and color.

They were very confused as to what kind of balls these were and how they were played.

Before anyone could ask, Su Chen began to introduce various ball games one by one.

"The biggest red brick is basketball. Nowadays, the number of people playing basketball in China is the largest among all sports. It can be said to be the most popular ball game among us Chinese."

After all, any man would not want to be tall and strong.

"The basketball game is played by two teams, with each team playing five players."

You know, the young adults they usually see are far from that tall and brave.

"In addition to these two ball games with the largest audience, the remaining ones are tennis, table tennis, volleyball, badminton, billiards, polo, etc."

Watching the fierce competition for basketball between the two sides in the video, people from all walks of life under the canopy gradually understood how basketball is played.

"The game lasts 90 minutes, divided into upper and lower halves, each half is 45 minutes."

It turns out that playing basketball can make people taller and more powerful, which is of great help in cultivating strong soldiers.

In order to let everyone feel the rules of the game more intuitively, Su Chen found video clips of various ball sports.

"A goal is scored when the football is kicked into the opponent's goal without violating the rules of the game."

At this moment, many people in various dynasties realized what the anchor said.

When thinking of this, countless young men from all dynasties seemed to have discovered a new world, and their faces glowed.

This made them extremely curious, why are the basketball players so tall? Could it be caused by playing basketball?
The more everyone thinks about it, the more likely it is, but they can't find any other reason besides this.

"The smaller white one is football. Football is the most popular ball game in the world and the number one ball game in the world."

"There is a head referee and two line referees in the game, who are mainly responsible for violations by members of the two teams during the game."

Originally, many people were not interested in the ball sports equipment that the anchor was selling tonight. After all, these things were for the entertainment of the powerful children and had nothing to do with ordinary people.

Although I couldn't discover the fun of basketball for a while, it was obvious that the fierce competition between the two sides left a deep impression on everyone.

In addition to the great increase in interest in basketball among ordinary people in various dynasties, emperors in various dynasties also realized the importance of basketball.

"The goal of each team is to score in the opponent's basket and prevent the opponent from scoring in their own basket."

In their era, once a person grew tall and powerful, there were many benefits.

After Su Chen's introduction, ancient people from all dynasties were most impressed by the anchor's emphasis on basketball and football.

With his tall figure, he never had to worry about having food to eat, and there were too many landlords who were willing to hire him at a high price.

"Football is the most popular ball game in the world. Football originated in China and was called Cuju in ancient times."

It is related to their own vital interests, and they are determined to buy the basketball.

This made them deeply aware that basketball must be promoted across the country so that more strong young adults can be cultivated for the country.

"The team with the most points at the end of the game will be the winner of the game."

"Football matches are divided into two teams of eleven players each, including a goalkeeper."

They speculate that the biggest reason why basketball is the most popular sport among Chinese people is that playing basketball helps them grow taller.

This is enough to prove that the gameplay of basketball and football must be exciting and exciting, otherwise not so many future generations will like it.

Of course, what impressed everyone the most was the tall and powerful figures of the players on both sides.

"Basketball games are managed by referees and records staff."

Not only are you not afraid of being bullied by others, but you can also gain the attention of others.

"The balls that everyone will be snapping up later will come with an information sheet, and the detailed information is in the manual."

Those basketball players are all very strong, which makes them envious.

Since basketball is the most popular ball game in China in later generations, football is the most popular ball game in the world.

Ordinary people like them work every day to make a living and have no time to play ball and have fun.

Su Chen briefly introduced the rules while playing the video.

Although they had the idea of ​​promoting ball sports across the country before, they did not realize at that time how important playing basketball is to cultivating talents for the country.

Now, young men from all dynasties and generations are very interested in basketball, and they are all gearing up to buy basketballs.

While everyone was focusing on basketball, Su Chen took out the video of the football match.

But now that they know the benefits of playing basketball, their originally negative attitude has naturally changed.

Luban: Anchor, can you introduce how these ball games are played?
"Of course, the anchor will give a brief introduction."

"The team with the most goals in the game wins. If both teams score the same number of goals or neither team scores a goal, the game is a draw."

"If the two teams are tied within 90 minutes, there will be 15 minutes of overtime."

“If the game is still tied after overtime, the winner will be determined by penalty kicks.”

After hearing the anchor say that football originated from Cuju, and then seeing the fierce football match on the football field in the video, people from all dynasties and generations immediately became excited.

Isn't this the Cuju game they know? Cuju is very popular both in the army and among the people.

At this moment, countless people from all dynasties felt proud, and a rare sense of pride arose in their hearts.

Football, which became popular all over the world in later generations, originated from their Cuju, and nothing makes them more proud than this.

Ying Zheng: During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Cuju became very popular. Unexpectedly, it would develop into later generations more than 2,000 years later and become the number one sport popular all over the world.

He was filled with emotions. He didn't expect such an inconspicuous Cuju to have such tenacious vitality.

It was beyond his expectation that it became so popular in later generations.

Cuju is also played by many people in the Qin Dynasty. It is not only a training part of the army, but also a popular entertainment activity for the common people.

Su Chen then gave a general introduction to the competition rules of other ball games. Everyone was obviously not as interested in these ball games as basketball and football. Compared with other ball games, basketball can make them taller and more powerful. Football is the Cuju sport they are familiar with.

Li Shimin: If we want to promote ball games nationwide, I'm afraid it will cost a lot and the gains will outweigh the losses.

He originally wanted to hold a sports meeting in Chang'an City, but now he wakes up and realizes that this is not an easy task.

It would be relatively easy to hold a sports meeting for the common people of Chang'an City.

But it would be more difficult to hold a national sports meeting, or even a sports meeting involving more foreign countries.

After all, just promoting ball games across the country is not an easy task.

Although there are many people who like basketball and football, they are not necessarily willing to spend a lot of time training for these ball games.

And more importantly, just building stadiums across the country is a huge expense.

To be honest, he naturally wanted to promote ball games across the country.

But the cost issue was before him, forcing him to think carefully.

Li Shimin: How about promoting ball games in Chang'an City?

The next best thing was to lower his goals and reduce the size of the games.

At this moment, Su Chen's words cheered up all the emperors from different dynasties who had this problem.

"By the way, I forgot to mention one thing. If we want to develop sports successfully, we must also develop sports lottery."

Su Chen naturally hopes that sports can be promoted nationwide in ancient times, which will be of great benefit to the country and the people.

But just promoting sports may be difficult for each dynasty to implement smoothly. After all, relying on court subsidies alone is not a long-term solution.

At this time, it is necessary to introduce commercial activities such as sports lottery to help.

After all, the reason why sports in later generations have flourished is inseparable from the strong support of sports lottery.

Similarly, if you want to make ancient sports more and more popular, you also need to introduce a business model such as sports lottery.

Ying Zheng: Anchor, what is sports lottery and is it important to the development of sports?

This is not only a question for Ying Zheng, but also a question for everyone.

Su Chen nodded and gave everyone an extremely positive answer.

"Of course it is important. Sports lottery is a commercial activity, and the money earned from sports lottery can be used to support the development of sports."

Su Chen's explanation greatly increased Li Shimin's interest. He was worried about lack of money and could not promote sports nationwide.

But now listening to what the anchor means, it seems that this problem can be solved through sports lottery.

Before he could ask in detail what sports lottery was, the anchor went on to answer everyone's doubts.

"There are many types of sports lottery. The anchor will briefly introduce two types for your reference."

"There is a football lottery, which is very popular in every football event and is played by many people."

"For example, if two football teams are going to compete in Chang'an City, people can buy lottery tickets before the game to predict the outcome of the game."

“比如两支球队2:1的倍率是10倍，你用一两银子买中了2:1的彩票，最后就可以获得十两银子。”

"Of course, the multiplier of each score is different, which requires you to predict the score based on the strength of the two teams."

"In our time, there are world-class events dedicated to football."

"Every time the Football World Cup is held, it is a grand event around the world. At this time, countless people will buy lottery tickets to participate."

As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, some emperors from various dynasties fell into deep thought.

The more they thought about it, the more they felt that football lottery had great potential and could also bring in a very considerable income.

You must know that Cuju is very popular, so they are not worried that football will also become popular across the country.

The more people who like football, the more people will watch the games.

Since you love football, you will definitely buy football lottery tickets to some extent, it just depends on the amount.

In this way, not only can you profit from the tickets, but the lottery profits are also a large amount of income.

They couldn't help but laugh at the thought of the vast amounts of revenue generated by football matches.

I was originally bothered by the promotion of sports across the country, but now that I have a way to make money from it, most of my worries are gone.

At this moment, they were extremely eager to promote ball games across the country and were not willing to delay for a moment.

At the same time, they also thought that corresponding lotteries could be issued for other ball sports, such as basketball lotteries, tennis lotteries, etc.

Just a football lottery gave them a huge amount of money, not to mention the second sports lottery mentioned by the anchor.

Li Shimin: Anchor, besides football lottery, what else is there?
"The second type of 5+2 lottery has more people playing it. You can play it on a regular basis without having to wait for sports games."

"For example, if a period is seven days, you can buy lottery tickets as you like before the draw on the last day."

"Each bet doesn't cost much, just one or two copper coins. You can also buy a few more bets."

"Big Lotto is generally played in a 5+2 format, divided into front and back areas."

"The front area is to randomly select 35 red balls from 5 red balls as a group, that is, from No. 01 to No. 35."

"In the back area, 01 of the 12 blue balls from 12 to 2 are selected as a group. A total of seven numbers are used for one bet."

"On the day of the lottery, officials selected 35 from 5 red balls and 12 from 2 blue balls. These seven numbers are the winning numbers."

"Then the lottery numbers purchased by the public are compared with the winning numbers to see if they have won."

"The awards are divided into six categories, from first prize to sixth prize."

"The seven lottery numbers are exactly the same as the winning numbers, which is the first prize. The prize can be set to 10,000 taels of silver."

"The five numbers on the red ball are exactly the same, and the two numbers on the blue ball match one, which is the second prize."

"If the five numbers on the red ball are exactly the same, and the two numbers on the blue ball are all wrong, or if the five red balls are correct, four of them are correct, and the two blue balls are all correct, it all belongs to the third prize."

"Five red balls against four, two blue balls against one, or five red balls against three, and two blue balls all in pairs, all belong to the fourth prize."

"Five red balls are against four, and two blue balls are all wrong, or five red balls are against three, and two blue balls are against one, or five red balls are against two, and two blue balls are all right. Yes, it belongs to the fifth prize.”

“There are 5 red balls against 3 and 2 blue balls are all wrong, or 5 red balls are against 2 and 2 blue balls are against one, or 5 red balls are against 1 and 2 blue balls are all right. , all belong to the sixth prize, and the reward is only ten copper coins. "
