The birth of NBA

Basketball originated from a peach basket and a ball more than 0/00 years ago. In recent decades, because of Dr. James naismith (James.

Naismith created the first rough basketball model, making the National Basketball Association (NBA) a big family of all the greatest players in basketball history. From George Mikan, the first superstar in NBA, to Boston's Celtic dynasty, to Larry Bode, Magic Johnson, Isaac Thomas and Michael Jordan in1980s, NBA professional basketball has not only become an international exhibition game, but also one of the most popular sports games in this century.

The birth of the Alliance Dr. naismith never imagined that his simple idea would become a game that swept the world and gave birth to countless vein runners. In A.D. 189 1, he hung two peach baskets in the gymnasium of Springfield Christian Youth Training School, hoping to create an indoor sport suitable for winter. Through the baskets on the wall, athletes can exercise healthy bodies and flexible movements, not just strength training. However, in less than fifty years, the all-around skills of players have brought revolutionary changes to basketball. /kloc-in the spring of 0/946, the first professional basketball league was officially announced. At that time, American fans were still keen on college basketball, and professional basketball began to catch up. Although the team has been organized for 40 years, the fans are still confined to the audience where the team is located. American Basketball Association American Basketball Association

society

America) is not unusual, at least in the first season (1946-47). It * * * has eleven teams, which are divided into East and West Divisions. They came from the largest cities in the United States at that time, such as new york, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, Detroit and Cleveland, and there was a team from Toronto in the league. Although more and more people are beginning to pay attention to professional basketball games, TV and radio programs are only briefly introduced, and even the largest newspaper in the city ignores the existence of BAA League. It is conceivable that there is a great crisis in BAA. At the beginning of the second season of the league, there are only seven teams left. The addition of Baltimore barely equalized the number of teams in the two districts. But the main problem still exists. No one is sure whether professional basketball can survive under the exclusion of college basketball. Since six of the eight teams are from the eastern region, the western region is powerless. Even with star players like Fox and Max Sarovski, United still need more energy to inject into it. However, in the 1948-49 season, the league began to turn around, and the original four national basketball leagues (NBL: National).

Basketball Leaque's midwestern team joined the BAA League, and suddenly, many of America's most famous players were won in the BAA League.

Since the 1949-50 season, all the teams originally belonging to the NBL have merged into BAA, and at this time it has officially changed its name to the National Basketball Association of the United States, which is also known as the NBA. At this time, apart from dividing the 17 team into three divisions, there are still more troubles waiting for them to solve, but the professional basketball game still injects considerable vitality at this moment. However, the pain is far from over. A year later, six teams were dissolved one after another. In addition to dividing the remaining teams into two areas for management, the NBA is still struggling. Just as the league kept putting forward countermeasures to deal with the difficulties, more and more new stars kept joining the league, such as Neil Johnston, Ed Macaulay, Bill Sherman, Bob Coe and Bob Petty, all of whom were super-class players at that time. The other is the change of the game itself. Before the 1954-55 season, the owners of the other nine teams met and decided to modify two important rules of the game. Snow team boss Danny Belson first introduced the time limit for possession, mainly to make players on the field have to play with trepidation, instead of dragging their feet to end the game. This will not only force the team to change some boring tactics, but also greatly improve the total score of the game. Belson assumes that each team must shoot an average of 60 times in a game. Therefore, in a 48-minute (2,880-second) match, the two teams must make 1.20 shots, so the calculation of each possession time should not exceed 24 seconds. This proposal was immediately adopted by the League of Nations. After that, if the attacker can't shoot within 24 seconds, the defender can regain control of the ball. Another important rule is to limit the number of fouls allowed by the team in each quarter. As long as there are six fouls in the same quarter, each foul in the next quarter will be punished by the other side (not the current two goals). In addition to making the old foul tactics pay a higher price, it is more important to make the game go smoothly and not be interrupted by frequent foul actions.

The origin of NBA team name

There are 29 teams in NBA. The name of each team not only indicates the location of the team (for example, the Chicago Bulls' base camp is in Chicago), but also has a very interesting nickname. Do you know how these nicknames come from?

1. Celtic team: Because there are many Irish immigrants in Boston, many of them are Celts, the name of the team was called "primitive Celtic team" when it was first built, and later it was simplified to "Celtic team".

2. Popular teams:

The team was built in Miami, Florida, where the seasons are warm and pleasant, so we chose "hot" from the shortlist of many team names, which not only showed the climate conditions in Miami, but also hoped that the team would have a prosperous future.

3. Net:

"Net" refers to "net", which is one of the indispensable elements in basketball. The reason why the Nets take this name is because it is related to basketball. On the other hand, this is because there were baseball team METS and football team JETS in new york long before the establishment of the New Jersey Nets. At that time, the two teams were full-fledged, and the Nets played the homophonic Nets of these two teams, in fact, they wanted to touch its light.

4. Knicks: The correct name is "knickerbockers", because there are a large number of Dutch immigrants in new york. The Dutch like to wear loose knickerbockers, and "Knicks" is just a transliteration of the word "knickerbockers".

5. Magic Team: Because Disneyland is a large leisure and entertainment place in Orlando, so "Come on".

Magic "(playing magic) is another favorite saying of Orlando people, hence the name of the Magic Team.

6.76 people:

Originally known as "Syracuse Nation", it moved to Philadelphia in 1963, and changed to "76 people" because Philadelphia was the place where the United States declared its independence in 1776.

7. Wizard:

When the team's base camp was still in Baltimore, the team was called "bullet" because Baltimore's arms industry was very developed. After the team moved to Washington, it used the name "Bullets" until the season of 1997- 1998, and some people called it "Wizards".

8. Eagles:

Formerly known as "Three Cities Black Hawk Team", it borrowed the name of the chief "Black Hawk". 195 1 After moving to Milwaukee, it was renamed "Eagles". 1955 moved to St. Louis, 1968 moved to Atlanta and still used the name "Eagles".

9. Bumblebee: The team emblem is a fierce bumblebee, and it is a collection of works from the society. In addition, the city emblem of Charlotte also has a bee pattern.

10. Long:

Animal husbandry in Chicago is very developed. The city's professional football team and professional baseball team each have teams named after animals, so "Bull" became the team name of Chicago professional basketball team.

1 1. Knight

Cleveland voted locally when it named its new professional basketball team. As a result, more than one-third of the 6000 votes chose "knight".

12. Piston:

1948 when he joined the NBA, his base camp was in Ford Wynn, and his boss was engaged in piston manufacturing. "Piston" became the name of the team. 1957, the team still uses this name after moving to Detroit.

13. Pedestrian:

The English name is "Pacers", and its pronunciation is very similar to "Pacecar", and "Pacecar" is the leading car in "Indiana 500" (one of the world-famous racing events with the same name as F/Kloc-0), and its limelight is not famous for racing. The team was named after "Pacers" and naturally wanted to become famous by the popularity of "Indiana 500".

14. Bucks:

Like many teams who don't know what animal names to use to name their teams, Milwaukee is hesitant to name their own teams. In the end, among a lot of animal names including skunk and beaver, Milwaukee chose the wild Buck as the team name.

15. Raptors: This is a team 1993 born in Canada, and its name has also been collected. Finally, the fierce, fast and bouncing "dragon" was selected.

16. Rocket

This team was originally established in San Diego, where the arms industry is prevalent. After the team moved to Houston (199 1), the name "rocket" became more worthy of the name.

17. A loner

1980 In March, the team owner selected "Mavericks" as the team name from about 4,600 names collected.

18. Gold bullion team:

Formerly known as "Denver Rockets", it is one of the founding teams of ABA. 1974 After joining the NBA, it was renamed the "gold nugget team" because in the19th century, American scientists discovered gold mines in Denver.

19. Timberwolves: Named after a large number of wild animals "Timberwolves" in Minnesota.

20. Spurs

One of the founding teams of ABA, originally headquartered in Dallas, the team was named Dallas Oaks, 1970 changed its name to Texas Oaks, and 1973 moved to San Antonio and changed its name to Spurs. The "Spur" is the iron needle nailed to the heel by the rider. Taking this as the team name can reflect the characteristics of the times in the development of the western region of the United States.

2 1. Jazz:

Founded in 1974, the team was named "New Orleans Jazz". 1980 After moving to Salt Lake City, Utah, they still use the name "Jazz".

22. Grizzly bear: Another new Canadian army founded in 1994, named after grizzly bear, a representative animal in western Canada, symbolizes the power of basketball.

22. Warriors:

1946 was born in Philadelphia, and the team was named "Philadelphia Warriors" to pay tribute to the warriors who died in the American Revolutionary War. 1962 After moving to San Francisco, it was changed to "Golden State Warriors".

23. The speedboat fleet:

1970 was founded in Buffalo, and the team was named Buffalo Warriors. 1978 moved to San Diego and changed its name to "San Diego Clippers". 1980 moved to Los Angeles.

24. Lake boat

: It was built by 1968, and the team name was also accepted. It must be Knicks, the capital of Arizona, with little annual precipitation and plenty of sunshine. The team name "Sun" is the most representative.

25. Pioneers:

Portland was founded in 1970, which happened to be the center of western development, so naming the team after "pioneers" can also reflect the characteristics of that era.

26. The king:

This team has changed its name more times than any other team in the NBA. It was founded as "Rochester Royal Team", 1957 was renamed as "Cincinnati Royal Team", and 1972 was renamed as "Kansas City-Omaha Kings Team". It was not until 1985 that it settled in Mandu Sakala and changed its name to "Sacramento Kings Team".

27. Supersonic Team:

Born in Seattle, the team is the headquarters of Boeing, the world's largest aircraft manufacturer. 1967 when the team was established, Boeing was developing and manufacturing supersonic passenger aircraft, and the team established with the help of Boeing also chose the name "supersonic".

NBA draft system

In order to make the level of each team in the NBA match not too different, and increase the excitement and intensity of the game, the NBA holds the annual "Newcomer Draft" conference in late June after the annual finals.

The newcomers participating in the "draft" are generally students from various universities in the United States, and they are all the best in the NCAA National College Basketball League. In recent years, under the temptation of money, many college students who participated in the "draft" were sophomores and sophomores, and even five high school students appeared in the "draft conference" of 1996.

The NBA ranks newcomers according to their performance in universities (high schools). Then, according to the winning percentage of this year's regular season, the NBA teams are selected from weak to strong, and each team can only choose one newcomer in each round, usually 2-3 rounds.

To be fair, the NBA began to distribute 65,438+0,000 ping-pong balls with the selected serial numbers on them before the draft. The team with the worst performance in the regular season can choose 250, and their preferred probability is 25%. And so on. Of the 1 1 teams that didn't make the playoffs last season, the chances of the best results are the smallest. The NBA also stipulates that the lottery option only applies to the first round of the "rookie draft".
