NBA championship lottery rules

Many procedures and rules of NBA draft are still like "seeing flowers in the fog" for some China fans. According to the time division, the annual NBA draft can be roughly divided into two parts. The first part is the draft lottery: the NBA began to implement the draft lottery from 1985. Every year when the playoffs are in full swing, the NBA will convene teams that fail to enter the playoffs to hold a lottery ceremony to determine the ownership of the top three draft picks in the future. In the lucky draw ceremony, the host will take out 1- 14 ping-pong balls and put them into the container. Four balls are randomly selected from 14 balls, regardless of numerical order. A * * can produce 100 1 possible combinations. Before the draw, the teams that didn't qualify for the playoffs had been ranked in reverse order according to the regular season record, and the corresponding combination number (probability) of winning the first prize was obtained. For example, 14 teams failed to make the playoffs this year. In this 14 team, the eagle with the worst record got 250 combinations, that is, there was a 25% chance to win the first place, and the wasp with the second worst record got 199, that is, 19.9% chance, and so on,/kloc-0.9%. After the draw for No.1 draft, four table tennis balls were put back into the container, and the ownership of No.2 and No.3 draft picks was decided again. After that, the remaining No.4-30 draft picks in the first and second rounds were decided in reverse order according to the results of the regular season.

In addition to the regular draft procedures, the NBA has added some special rules for American high school graduates and overseas players to participate in the draft. The following are the provisions of the NBA labor agreement for these two types of players to participate in the NBA draft.

Rules for American high school graduates to apply for conscription.

(1) Players who have settled in the United States and completed their high school education can be eligible to participate in the NBA draft after giving a written notice to the NBA 45 days before the start of the draft, expressing their willingness to give up entering the university for further study. Once a player is selected by any NBA team, the following rules will apply:

(1) According to the following (b), if a player does not join the college basketball team, he is eligible to participate in the NBA draft. On the day when he announced that he would give up the opportunity to enter the university, he won the participation.

If there is an NBA team that invites players every year as required during the qualification period, then this team will be the only team that can sign a player contract with him.

In this part, once a player fails to give up the qualification to join the college basketball team after obtaining the qualification of the NBA draft, the draft will be regarded as his "second choice".

Players who are selected as "second choice" will abide by the applicable rules. If a player is selected because he gave up his college basketball qualification in the draft, he has not signed a player contract with the team that selected him, and has not been selected in the "second choice" (as explained in the previous statement), we call it a newcomer free agent.

(2) If a player joins the college basketball team, once he gives up the opportunity to continue playing for the college basketball team, he can still qualify for the NBA draft. At that time, the NBA team that selected him in the draft and sent him an invitation every year as required will reserve the priority to negotiate and sign a player contract with him one year after the draft date.

(b) Players who have settled in the United States and completed high school will be eligible if they are not eligible to participate in the NBA draft and sign contracts with professional basketball teams outside the United States.

NBA draft If selected, he will be regarded as a "player" as defined in Section 4 above. In this section, "professional basketball team" refers to a player from any country.

Any kind of money or compensation paid to the basketball players who play for him, which exceeds the general living expenses of the basketball team.
