The new competition system changes the original season's 82 games to 78 games, and the regular schedule is divided into two stages. 30 in the first stage and 48 in the second stage. This adjustment enables the team to better adjust its state at the beginning and end of the season and reduce the injuries caused by fatigue. The new NBA game system optimizes the schedule, reduces the number of back-to-back games and gives players more rest time. At the same time, the number of games on weekends and holidays has been increased to meet the needs of fans.
The new tournament system introduced the mid-season tournament, with 16 teams participating. The competition is divided into two divisions, East and West, with 8 teams participating in each division. The mid-season competition adopts the single elimination system, and the competition time is two weeks in the regular season. This reform aims at improving competitiveness and appreciation.
The new competition system has adjusted the draft system and added the lottery mechanism. The lottery is divided into three parts, namely, the first prize lottery, the second prize lottery and the flower exploration lottery. Teams that do not enter the playoffs will participate in the lottery, and the top teams will have more opportunities to select excellent players.
