书籍简介/Book Description

一部精彩、有趣的篮球解构书，借鉴了棋盘游戏创作者、魔术师、治疗师等人的专业知识。

篮球是世界上第二大受欢迎的运动--一种建立在运动能力、技巧、规则、无形资产和超级明星的组合上的极其复杂的游戏。然而，虽然它是令人愉快的，但它的真正原因是，它是一个文化、艺术和所有使我们成为人类的东西的游戏。《如何像天才一样观看篮球比赛》从上到下解构了这项运动，然后又将其重新组合起来，通过报道和对专家的数十次采访，详细介绍了其错综复杂的关系。这些专家是一个多样化的群体：酒评家对勒布朗的即时授权能力进行了评价，魔术师分析了克里斯·保罗神秘的运球技术，制图师分析了斯蒂芬-库里的死角三分球。每一章都对篮球进行了多学科的研究，冒险远远超出了球场的界限，从一些令人惊讶和揭示的角度来研究这项运动的关键因素。篮球征服世界是有原因的，每场比赛都是一个学习流行文化、时尚、历史、科学、艺术和其他任何东西的机会。

A brilliant, entertaining deconstruction of basketball, drawing on the expertise of board-game creators, magicians, therapists, and more

Basketball is the second-most popular sport in the world—an insanely complicated game built on a combination of athleticism, craftiness, rules, intangibles, and superstardom. However, while it’s enjoyable to watch, the real reason it works is because it’s a game of culture, art, and all the things that make us human. How to Watch Basketball Like a Genius deconstructs the sport from top to bottom and then puts it back together again, detailing its intricacies through reporting and dozens of interviews with experts. These experts, however, are a diverse group: wine critics weighing in on LeBron’s ability to delegate on the fly, magicians analyzing Chris Paul’s mystifying dribbling techniques, cartographers breaking down Steph Curry’s deadeye three-point shooting. Every chapter treats basketball to a multi-disciplined study that adventures far beyond the lines of the court, examining key elements of the sport from some surprising and revealing angles. There’s a reason it has conquered the world, and every game is a chance to learn about pop culture, fashion, history, science, art, and anything else that bounces our way.

媒体评价/Comments

"Really novel way to approach the game, and pretty unique to basketball." ― Sopan Deb, The New York Times

“How to Watch Basketball Like a Genius is a rewarding read for anyone who loves the sport. It approaches basketball from a number of unique angles that make it feel new and exciting. It is almost as if one is reading about the game for the first time. Greene has written one of the best basketball books of recent years, one that combines history, reporting, and analysis in a very exciting way. Even the most ardent basketball fans will be invited to rethink well-worn truisms about the game’s development, why it developed the way it did, and what makes it so appealing. By looking at the game of basketball, from its rudimentary beginnings to the way it is played today, Greene helps readers see the game anew.”

 ― Fansided

"A very insightful and engaging new book...The thing with this book that sets it apart is that the experts are not the usual suspects on ESPN, but a soap opera casting director weighing in on the game's most prolific floppers, magicians analyzing Chris Paul's mystifying dribbling techniques, cartographers breaking down Steph Curry's deadeye three-point shooting, and plenty more."
