The NBA League * * * has 30 teams, which are divided into two parts geographically. Each part has 15 teams, and each part is divided into three divisions. Teams in the same part usually play four games in the regular season (some have three games, which are determined by the computer), while teams in different parts play two games.
NBA preseason is a warm-up match between teams before the start of the NBA regular season. This year's preseason games were held from June 10 to June 29th, local time, 1 19 games.
NBA preseason games generally have three functions: First, run-in the lineup, enrich the style of play, and test the competitive state of new and old players. Each team has about eight preseason games. At the same time, in order to prevent the fatigue of the main players before the game, the main players usually play for less than 30 minutes in this kind of competition, so it is also an opportunity for the substitute players to show themselves.
Second, warm up in the NBA regular season. In order to better attract fans to watch the NBA regular season and playoffs, NBA officials also make full use of preseason to build momentum for the new season's NBA games. For example, after O 'Neill moved from the Lakers to the Heat this season, today's preseason game between the Rockets and the Heat was promoted by the NBA as "New Yao Shark Wars". In addition, many preseason games between strong teams will be broadcast live on local or national TV stations, and the attention is no less than that of the regular season. Therefore, at the beginning, the preseason was open to fans free of charge, and in recent years, tickets were also sold to the outside world.
Third, promote the NBA and expand its overseas influence.
