19 how should the basketball team decide the top 8 through competition?

Is time enough? It is the fairest for each team to play 18 games, that is, one team plays one game each with other teams, which is a bit troublesome. If it really doesn't work, draw lots and divide them into four groups. Drawing lots is the fairest thing, and no one has a problem with it. On May 5th, 5th, 5th and 4th, each team will play four games (three games for four teams), and the top two players in each group will be selected to see the outcome. If two or three players in a group have the same record, they can play another game, or compare who scored more points in the previous games, or draw lots to decide the outcome (Khan, although this is a bit bloody, football has been played by the Super League ...). I believe that no matter which way, each team will have no opinion, which is fair.
