The size of the basketball court refers to the size and size standard of the basketball court. According to the regulations of the International Basketball Federation (FIBA), the standard size of the basketball court is 28 meters long and 15 meters wide. This dimension refers to the length and width of the inside sideline of the court, excluding areas outside the sideline.
On the basketball court, there are some marks and lines to indicate different areas and rules in the game. These marks include the center line, three-point line, free throw line, free throw area, backboard and hoop.
The center line is the line that bisects the court and is located in the center of the court. The three-point line is an arc extending from the center of the basketball court, marking the distance of three-point shooting. The free throw line is a straight line extending inward from both ends of the basketball court, marking the distance of the free throw. The free throw area is composed of a rectangular area between the free throw line and the backboard, which is used to indicate the position where the players stand during the free throw.
The backboard is the backboard fixed at both ends of the basketball court to catch the basketball after the players shoot. The hoop is a metal ring fixed on the backboard for shooting and scoring.
In general, the standard basketball court size is 28 meters long and 15 meters wide, but there will be some changes and adjustments in different games and venues. For example, in the NBA game in the United States, the size of the basketball court is 94 feet long and 50 feet wide, which is equivalent to 28.65 meters long and 15.24 meters wide.
