What does "screw up" mean in the NBA?

In the NBA, "not playing well" means that some teams try to make the ranking as low as possible by deliberately losing the game, so as to have better draft picks in the following summer. The team ranked last in the regular season has a 25% chance of winning the first prize.

From 20 19, the NBA lottery will be reformed, and the probability of the team with the worst record will be reduced from 25% to 14%. At that time, the probability that the top three teams will win the first prize is the same. It will have a certain impact on the pendulum, because even if you come last, you may not get the championship.

Xiao Hua, president of NBA, solemnly issued a memorandum to 30 teams in the league, stressing that deliberate remarks are "intolerable". Although he also said, "there is no evidence that any team deliberately lost." But it seems that the EU's sanctions stick has been raised, depending on who is the first to be "cudgeled".

From 20 19, the lottery system in NBA will be reformed, and the probability that the team with the worst record will win the first prize will be reduced from 25% to 14%. The top three teams have the same probability of winning-this new rule is actually to prevent teams from competing for the bottom three teams in order to win the first place.

But it is still the "old rule." This season, the weak teams in the NBA have a crazy momentum to get the "worst record", because after this year, no team will have a 25% chance to win the first prize, which is the "last chance".

The competition at the top of the league is fierce, and so is the competition at the bottom of the league. Whoever loses a lot in the game is a joke.

Xiao Hua believes that intentionally losing will undoubtedly harm the interests of the league, and he said that this kind of behavior is intolerable. Previously, Cuban, the boss of the lone ranger, publicly proposed to destroy the team. He was fined $600,000 for this.
