NBA history
1896, the first American basketball organization, the National Basketball League (NBL), was established, but the rules and organization of basketball were not perfect at that time. Usually, a player can represent several teams in a season. After several seasons, the organization existed in name only.
1946 On April 6, the American Basketball Association (BAA) was founded by Walter A. Brown, the owner of Boston Garden in the United States. Brown first proposed high salary system and contract system, which became the two cornerstones of modern professional basketball. High salary system means that professional basketball must have strong financial support in order to keep the game at a high level, attract audiences and survive. Contract system means that a player can only sign a contract with one club and set up a player reserve system to prevent players from leaving the team suddenly and causing losses.
1949, with Brown's efforts, two major American basketball organizations, BAA and NBL, merged into the National Basketball Association (NBA). Brown also became the founder of the later famous Boston Celtics. When the NBA was founded, there were 17 teams, which were divided into three divisions. The Minneapolis Lakers from NBL won the NBA championship in the first season with the help of george mikan, the No.1 center in the United States, who is 2.09 meters tall. From the beginning of the 1954-55 season, only the east and the west were left after the natural elimination of the NBA. Among them, the eastern alliance is divided into Atlantic region and central region; The western alliance is divided into the central and western regions and the Pacific region.
1952, in order to limit the scoring ability of the first center McCann, the NBA expanded the width of the 3-second penalty area under the basket from 6 feet to 12 feet. In 1960s, because of the appearance of another super center, Chamberlain, the NBA expanded the width of the penalty area to 16 feet.
Because NBA teams often use delaying tactics when the score is ahead, the game can't attract the audience. From the season of 1954- 1955, the NBA began to implement the 24-second system, that is, the offensive time of each team should not exceed 24 seconds. 1973, CBS bought the right to broadcast NBA games for three years for $27 million, which made NBA games appear on TV for the first time. However, because there were no conditions for live broadcast at that time, only videos could be played.
1967, the new basketball organization ABA (American Basketball Association) was established, with George Macon as the first chairman. Aba adopts red, white and blue basketball, implements the three-point system of long-distance shooting, and holds a dunk contest every year. These measures are not allowed in the NBA. However, due to poor management, ABA was annexed by the American NBA in 1976, and the NBA formed a monopoly on the American basketball industry.
From 65438 to 0979, the NBA began to implement the 3-point long-distance shooting system. In order to avoid the disparity in strength between teams, the NBA has established an annual "NBA rookie selection and distribution system", which ranks college students who graduated in that year according to their level, and then each club selects them in turn according to the final ranking of the league in that year. The latter ranks first, and each team can only choose one in each round, thus ensuring that the team with the weakest strength can get the rookie with the highest level, while the weak team that chooses the new star will often be reborn in the new season. In order to prevent rich teams from monopolizing high-paid star players, the NBA has set a total salary limit for each team. If you spend a lot of money to buy a star, you can't buy other excellent players. This system ensures that the best stars are evenly distributed in each team, which makes the strength of each team very close. If "high salary system" and "contract system" are the two cornerstones of NBA, then "rookie selection system" and "salary limit system" ensure the tension and excitement of NBA games, and the unpredictability of the games attracts many American fans to the basketball court.
The NBA league also implements the transfer system, and NBA players can't buy or sell, so they can only be replaced by people. From the beginning of the season to 9: 00 pm on Thursday 16, the team can exchange players freely. Since then, all the players have been "frozen" until the end of the regular season. NBA transfer is the exchange of people and contracts.
Blow out the 58th birthday candle, and the cake is the latest version of Charlotte Bobcats in 2005 NBA, which has become another cherry on butter. Thirty, not the old tree rings with grain precipitation, but a new time and space for memory expansion. From 1946 to 2004, the bar code of the team went from 1 1 to No.30, which was unprecedented in the NBA.
Eastern alliance
NBA member
Atlanta Division: 76ers, Knicks, Nets, Celtics, Raptors.
Central Division: Pistons, Pacers, Cavaliers, Bucks and Bulls.
Southeast Division: Heat, Magic, Wizards, Eagles, Bobcats.
Western Union:
Northwest Division: Timberwolves, Nuggets, Jazz, Trailblazers, SuperSonics
Pacific Division: Kings, Lakers, Suns, Warriors, Clippers
Southwest Division: Spurs, Rockets, Mavericks, Grizzlies, Hornets.
The sixth division highlighted regional confrontation. With the addition of Charlotte Bobcats, the number of NBA teams has reached 30. There has been controversy about the rules of seed ranking in the playoffs. After discussion by the league management, it was officially announced on August 3, Beijing time that the existing rules of seed ranking in the playoffs will be changed from next season.
NBA***30 teams are divided into two major divisions, East and West, and each division is divided into three minor divisions. The East Division is the Atlantic Division, the Central Division and the Southeast Division; The Western Division is divided into Southwest Division, Northwest Division and Taiping Performance Division.
The new seed ranking rule is that the top four seeds in each division are composed of the team ranked first in each division and the remaining teams with the best performance, but the top four seeds are ranked according to their respective achievements.
The previous ranking rules of playoff seeds were obviously unreasonable. According to the previous ranking rules, in each division, the top three teams (* * * three teams) in each division are the top three seeds in the East and West Divisions, and their ranking is based on their respective records. The second place in a certain division, even if its winning rate exceeds the first place in another division, can only be ranked in the fourth seed in that division.
This ranking rule was criticized last season. The two strongest teams in the Western Division happen to be San Antonio (Anthony News, Anthony speaks) and Dallas Mavericks, both in the Southwest Division. However, according to last year's playoff seed ranking rules, the Spurs were the first seed, while the Mavericks were only ranked fourth, although their winning percentage was much higher than that of the top players in the Southwest Division, Denver Nuggets and Phoenix Suns. So the two best teams in the West had to meet in advance in the second round of the playoffs. In the end, Dallas Mavericks won the Spurs in seven games and advanced to the Western Conference finals.
In addition, the alliance also announced several rule changes:
The number of people on the playoff list will increase: in the past, each team only allowed 13 people to enter the final list. According to the new rules, the number of playoff players in the new season will increase to 15. However, before the start of each round of playoffs, the team should designate 12 players who can play, and the remaining 3 players are not in the state. This is consistent with the regular season rules.
In addition, the timeout will be shortened: if a team has two long timeouts of 60 seconds in the last two minutes of regular game time or overtime, one of the long timeouts will be automatically shortened to a short timeout of 20 seconds. In the overtime stage, each team has only two 60-second long pauses and one 20-second short pause, while in the original rules, each team has three 60-second long pauses in overtime; A short 20-second timeout that has not been used up during the normal game time will not be taken to overtime.
Note: As we all know, NBA is the abbreviation of National Basketball Association, but according to some active players, such as shaquille o'neal, NBA has another explanation, that is, it is nothing but actors.
