[7]
In 1949, the emergence of George McCann made the NBA history of the first true superstar, about 2 meters tall McCann mobile, at that time is the strongest ruler, he opened the first chapter of the Lakers dynasty (at that time, the Lakers called the Minneaponis Lake), he helped the Lakers win five championships in the next six years. During his nine-year professional basketball career, he won a total of seven NBA championships.
In 1950, Earl Lloyd, Chuck Cooper and Clifton became the first black African players to join the BAA. At the same time, the BAA also changed its name to the NBA in the same year, which is still used today.
In 1951, the Syracuse Nation signed "Sweetwater" Clifton, who became the first African-American player to receive an official NBA contract.
In 1953, Bob Cousy set an NBA playoff record by scoring 50 points in a Celtics/Kings playoff game, including 30 of 32 free throws, and was the first game in NBA history to rely on frequent fouls resulting in free throws to win the game, which involved four overtimes. The bitter battle ended in a victory for the Boston Celtics.

1957-1966: Boston was the dominant city
From 1957 to 1966, the NBA began to enter a new period of rapid development. In this decade, there was the Boston Celtics, St. Louis Hawks and Minneapolis Lakers (the predecessor of the Los Angeles Lakers) "three-way" situation, after spending a decade (1947-1956) growing pains, the NBA at that time has gained more widespread attention. In this decade (1957-1966), the Boston Celtics reached the Finals in an unprecedented ten years, and won nine of those championships, including eight in a row (1959-1966).
In 1957, the Boston Celtics, who had been dormant for a decade, broke out. Led by Bill Russell and Tom Heinsohn, they had a league-best record of 47-28, and they made it all the way to the Finals, where they won in seven games against Bob Pettitt's St. Louis Hawks. It was their first championship in franchise history.
In 1958, Boston made it to the Finals with the best record in the league, again against Bob Pettitt's St. Louis Hawks, but this time, Bob Pettitt scored 50 points in Game 6 of the Finals to bring the championship back to St. Louis.
1959. The Lakers
Elgin Baylor
In that year, he entered the NBA and created the first "wing" player, but lost to the Celtics in the finals.
1960. Prehistoric superstar Wilt Chamberlain enters the NBA. His first team is the Philadelphia Warriors. He had 43 points and 28 rebounds in the first game of his career, and when the season Chamberlain averaged 37.6 points and 27 rebounds, he won the Rookie of the Year, the regular season MVP, the All-Star MVP and the All-NBA team. Even though he played crazy in the regular season, when it came to the playoffs, he was unable to carry the Phillies to the Finals alone. That year's finals were between the Boston Celtics and the St. Louis Hawks, and the Celtics again came out on top.
1961 marked a new era for the Lakers when they moved to Los Angeles and changed their name to the Los Angeles Lakers. This name is still used today. And this was the year they acquired Jerry West in the draft. He and Elgin Baylor also challenged Boston's dominance for years to come. That same year, Oscar Robertson, the most versatile player in NBA history, joined the league. In the finals, Boston defeated the St. Louis Hawks again to win the championship.
In 1962, Chamberlain set a record of 100 points in a single game, and Oscar Robertson also averaged a triple-double that year, but their highlight performance was not enough to challenge the formidable Boston dynasty at the time. In the Finals, the maturing WestBaylor team led the Lakers to the final Finals, but this time, they were defeated at the feet of the Boston people.
In 1963, Bill Russell won the MVP title for the third time in a row, and the Celtics won the NBA Finals against the Lakers the previous season. The Lakers have been Boston's most tragic supporting cast during this period. In the same year, Bob Cousy retired, ending his career with numerous honors.
In 1964, the Celtics won six consecutive championships, and their finals opponents were finally changed, and the San Francisco Warriors reached the Finals under the leadership of Chamberlain, who averaged 36.9 points per game in the year, and he won the scoring title for the fifth consecutive season. However, the Boston Celtics were still an insurmountable obstacle for all the teams in the league at that time. The San Francisco Warriors were no exception, and Boston settled everything in five games.
In 1965, Jerry West set the NBA record for most points per game in a single playoff series, scoring 46.3 points per game in the series against the Baltimore Bullets. Another memorable incident of that year was John Havricek's fatal steal that helped the Boston Celtics win Game 7 against the Philadelphia 76ers in the Eastern Conference Finals. The break, also known as the "break of the century," helped them win the game and, in the finals, beat the Lakers for the championship.
In 1966, "Cardinal" Auerbach announced the end of his coaching career after the first game of the finals, and his decision also inspired the determination of the Celtics team to fight for him again, they beat the Los Angeles Lakers in the finals in a tiebreaker, completing a decade of nine championships.

1977-1981: Black and white first meet
From 1977 to 1986, the NBA ushered in the first real "player boom". Such as the "God of basketball" Michael Jordan, "big dream" Hakeem - Olajuwon, "Magic" Earvin Johnson, "Big Bird" Larry Bird, "Postman" Karl Malone and other famous players are in this time to enter the league.
In the 1976-77 season, Bill Walton averaged 18.6 points, 14.4 rebounds and 3.3 blocked shots. With his excellent performance, he was also awarded the rebounding king and blocking King of the season. Walton's brilliant performance also made the Portland people sweep away the past, and they jumped from the last place in the division to the second place in the division of the season. In the playoffs, they also eliminated the Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Lakers, the team entered the NBA Finals for the first time in history, lost the first two games, and then won the NBA championship in a row, and Bill Walton was also deservedly elected this year's Finals MVP.
In the 1977-78 season, two consecutive brawls occurred at the time even overshadowed the Washington Bullets championship. First of all, in a game between the Lakers and the Bucks in the regular season, the Bucks' rookie center Kent Benson deliberately challenged Jabbar with an elbow in the game, and Jabbar could not restrain his anger and shot back, but Benson did not do anything, but his hand bone was fractured due to punching too hard, and the injury caused him to miss 20 games in the season. It also became an incentive for the Lakers to collapse in the playoffs. In another brawler, the Los Angeles Lakers once again became the protagonist, in December they and the Houston Rockets in a game, Lakers forward Washington and Rockets center Kunnart in the game to move hands, when the Rockets forward Rudy - Tomjanovich rushed to stop, but was Washington a punch to the head, Tomjanovich immediately covered his face and fell to the ground, He was later diagnosed with fractures to his jaw and face, and in the fall, he broke the back of his skull. Tomjanovic's stellar career was shattered by the injury.
In 1978-79, the Seattle Supersonics rose to prominence in the Western Conference, surpassing the 50-plus mark in regular-season wins for the first time in team history, and their core was Dennis Johnson, one of the greatest point guards in NBA history. They defeated the Lakers and the SUNS in the Western Conference playoffs to advance to the finals, where they met their old rivals the Washington Bullets. In the first round of the finals, the Seattle people lost by two points, but in the following games, they did not give the Washington people any chance. Without blood, he won the first championship trophy in the team's history in four consecutive games and successfully completed his revenge. Dennis Johnson was also deservedly named Finals MVP.
In 1979-80, the two protagonists of an epic rivalry in NBA history, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird, entered the NBA in the same year. During the season, Bird averaged 21 points and 10.4 rebounds per game, which, along with total steals (143) and total minutes played (2,955), led the Celtics in both categories. With his outstanding performance, he won the first showdown between him and "Magic", he was elected Rookie of the year over "Magic" in the rookie of the year voting, and was selected to the All-Star team. However, in this year, the Celtics did not meet with the "Magic" Lakers in the finals.
In 1980-81, Larry Bird averaged 21.2 points, 10.9 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game, and was named MVP in the All-Star Game that year. This year, the Celtics and Rockets in the finals of the twists and turns, the final Boston under the leadership of Bird to 4-2 overall victory over Moses - Malone led the Houston Rockets, won the team's 14th championship trophy.

1982-1986:84 Golden Generation
In the 1981-82 season, Larry Bird and Earvin Johnson were still the most eye-catching points in the league, and Johnson's quasi-triple-double data of 18.6 points, 9.6 rebounds and 9.5 assists per game made him the king of steals. He's averaging 17.4 points, 11.3 rebounds and 9.3 assists in the playoffs, and the Los Angeles Lakers have settled all their battles in just 14 games in the three-game series (best-of-seven, 4-0 SUNS, 4-0 Spurs, 4-2 76ers). Johnson won the Finals MVP award again after a year, ushering in the peak of his career.
1982-83 season, the arrival of Moses Malone, so that the past few years have been in the tragedy of the Philadelphia people to see the hope of winning the title, because they got the most dominant big man at the time, coupled with their city hero "Dr. J" Julius Ervin, their lineup in this year is unprecedented strong. They also lived up to expectations during the season with a league-best 65-17 record. Moses Malone, who averaged 24.5 points and 15.3 rebounds this season, was the first player in NBA history to win the award two years in a row with different teams. Even when they faced the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers in the Finals, led by Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, they didn't give the people of Los Angeles a chance. Magic's Los Angeles Lakers lost shamefully in Philadelphia this year, and Philadelphia also avenged last year's finals loss to Los Angeles.
The 1983-84 season was a milestone turning point in the development of the NBA, when NBA Commissioner Larry O 'Brien announced his retirement and was replaced by David Stern, the former executive vice president. He also actively promoted the internationalization of the NBA after taking office. Began to focus on the development of live television and advertising. At the same time, Stern expanded the number of playoff teams to sixteen, which also avoided the empty first round of the division at the time. Led by Larry Bird, Boston went 62-20 that season, 10 wins better than the defending NBA champion 76ers. Bird won his first MVP award that year, and Kevin McHale was named Sixth Man of the Year. Finally in this year, the finals once again reappeared - the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers will be a new generation of feud matchups this year. This was also the first meeting of the "black and white double fury" that swept the league at that time in the finals. The first showdown between Magic and Byrd ended in Byrd's victory.
The 1984-85 season is destined to be etched at the top of the monument of NBA history, the year that Hakeem Olajuwon, Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley and John Stockton entered the NBA. In this year, the "black and white double fury" that swept the league led their respective teams to meet again in the finals this year. Larry Bird and Kevin McHale won back-to-back MVP and Sixth Man of the Year awards, respectively. But in this case, Magic's Los Angeles Lakers had the last laugh.
In the 1985-86 season, Bird was again named the regular season MVP at the end of the season, and he also achieved "three consecutive wins" in this position, becoming the third player to win this award after Russell and Chamberlain. He also won the All-Star three-point title that year and led the Boston Celtics to a league-best 67-15 record. They lost just one game in the playoffs and advanced to the finals for the third straight year. The defending champion Los Angeles Lakers lost to the Houston Rockets 2-4. The Boston Celtics failed to meet Bird in the Finals for the third straight year. But the then-immature Houston were no match for what might have been the best Boston Celtics team in history. Houston surrendered their guns after six deadly battles, and the young dream paid the tuition for his youth in this series. And Bird was again elected Finals MVP that year, which was a pretty perfect end to the most beautiful season of his career.

1987-1990: The Bad Boys make their debut
In the 1986-87 season, Michael Jordan began to write his own legend in the NBA history book, averaging a career high of 37.1 points per game, and shooting a high of 48.2%. His season total of 3,041 points made him the first player since Wilt Chamberlain in the 62-63 season to surpass 3,000 points in a single season. He scored 40+ points in nine consecutive games that year, which also set a record for consecutive 40+ points in NBA history at the time, and his outstanding performance during the season made him selected to the first team of the year for the first time in his career. However, the Bulls led by Jordan were still defeated by the Celtics in the playoffs, and the finals were still the show of the Lakers and Celtics, and the Lakers defeated the Boston Celtics 4-2 in the final, and once again climbed to the top of the NBA.
In the 1987-88 Western Conference, the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers continued to be strong, and they finished the season with a record of 62-20, which was eight wins higher than the second place Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference. In the East, although the Boston people in this season to defend the first place in the East, although Bird season can take a career high of 29.9 points per game, but they have been completely overshadowed by the Eastern rising star - Detroit Pistons in this season, they in the Eastern Conference finals with the Detroit people in six games, and finally lost to 2-4 overall. Failed to advance to the finals for the fifth consecutive year. James Worthy of the Los Angeles Lakers had a triple-double with 36 points, 16 rebounds and 10 assists in that game. Helping the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Detroit Pistons 108-105 in Game 7 of the Finals to win the NBA championship for the second consecutive year. They are the only team since the 1969 Boston Celtics to win back-to-back championships.
In 1988-89, a young Michael Jordan put up explosive numbers (32+8+8+3) and was the league's scoring leader for the third year in a row. Larry Bird had surgery to remove bone spurs from his heels and played just six games this season. The Boston Celtics, who lost Bird, and the aging Los Angeles Lakers were thoroughly outplayed by Detroit's "bad boy Corps" this year. The Detroit Pistons finished the year with a league-best 63-19 record. The Detroit Pistons also met the Los Angeles Lakers in the Finals again after last year, but this time, Abdul-Jabbar, "Magic" Johnson and Byron - Scott all had varying degrees of injury in the game. Their poor form also prevented Los Angeles from firing their best fight, and they were played by Detroit in this series without temper, the Detroit Pistons in this year's annual report of the 1987-88 season lost to Los Angeles and lost the championship. Joe Dumars averaged a stunning 58 percent shooting percentage in the series and won the Finals MVP award. Jabbar, 42, regrettably ended his 20-year military career in this year, and his career has since left a string of historical records that are difficult to reach: a career total of 38,387 points (the first in history), 17,440 rebounds (the third in history), 3,189 blocks (the third in history), and 55.9% shooting percentage (the eighth in history). In addition, he has set a record of 787 consecutive games in double figures, and he is the first player in NBA history to play all 20 seasons. In terms of career honors, he has won a total of six championships (1971, 1980, 1982, 1985, 1987, 1988) and six regular season MVP awards (most in history: 1971-1972, 1974, 1976-1977, 1980), two Finals MVP awards (1971,1985), two scoring titles (1971-1972), and Rookie of the Year (1969), a generation of legends came to an end in the summer of 1989.
In 1989-90, rookie coach Phil Jackson led the Chicago Bulls back to the Eastern Conference finals, but they didn't get over it this time, and Michael Jordan's Chicago Bulls lost to Detroit in the playoffs for the third straight year. The Portland Trail Blazers are not optimistic about the adverse conditions of the outside world, perfect to show the dark horse nature, Portland people in the "glider" Drexler under the leadership, the season achieved 59 wins, and in the playoffs, they also all the way through, after 13 years once again set foot on the NBA Finals. In the finals, the Portland people are obviously at a disadvantage in comparison with Detroit's strength, and this disadvantage is also fully reflected in the process of the game, the Detroit Pistons only used five games to solve the battle, the swagger of the Detroit people in this year to achieve two consecutive championships, Isaiah Thomas with excellent performance was elected this year's Finals MVP.

1991-1993: Bull Dynasty (Part 1)
After suffering in 1990-91, the Chicago decided to regroup in the new season, and they finished the season with a perfect record of 61-21, successfully beating the Detroit Pistons for the top spot in the Eastern Conference. In the playoffs, the Bulls finally swept the longtime rival Detroit Pistons and advanced to the finals. Waiting for the Chicago Bulls in the finals that year was the Los Angeles Lakers led by Magic Johnson, and this was the first meeting between Jordan and Magic in the Finals. In the first game of the finals, the old "magic" gave his young younger Michael Jordan a mawei, he scored 19 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists on the spot triple-double data, leading the Los Angeles Lakers away 93-91 defeat the Chicago Bulls, After experiencing the first finals loss of his career, Michael Jordan seemed to open his own raging state after this, and he averaged 31.2 points and 11.4 assists in the five games of the series with the Los Angeles Lakers, helping the Chicago Bulls win the Los Angeles Lakers 4-1 overall score and get the first championship in the history of the team. Michael - Jordan in this season swept the regular season MVP, Finals MVP, scoring and other three personal honors, that is, in this year, the founder of an all-powerful dynasty was born.
In the 1991-92 season, the "black and white double evil" that was popular in the 1980s chose to retire, "injury" and "illness" became the obstacle of these two epic players, and "Magician" also announced that he was suffering from AIDS and had to leave his most beloved basketball court. Michael Jordan's Chicago Bulls followed up last year's historic championship with a franchise-best 67-15 record this season. The Chicago Bulls are back in the NBA Finals this season after winning the title last year. And this year's finals, eventually evolved into a "flying versus glider" between the king of the showdown. Jordan also had the upper hand against Drexler. In the end, Chicago and Portland battled six times in the Finals that year, and Jordan's Chicago Bulls won last. The Chicago Bulls won a historic second straight championship. Michael Jordan also won three individual awards after the 1990-91 season, including regular season MVP, Finals MVP and scoring championship.
In the 1992-93 season, a big man who upended NBA history entered the league - Shaquille "The Shark" O 'Neal. In his first season in the NBA, the big man broke the backboard and the rim three times. In his rookie season, he averaged 23.4 points and 13.9 rebounds, shocking the world, and his outstanding performance helped the Orlando Magic win 20 games more than the previous season. The Cleveland Cavaliers led the league in field goal percentage (49.7 percent), free throw percentage (80.2 percent), and three-point field goal percentage (38.1 percent). But they still can't get past the Chicago Bulls in the playoffs; This year, the Chicago Bulls finally lost the East Division leader in the regular season, and this year riding on their necks, is the New York Knicks. However, Jordan is still riding high in personal statistics, and he was elected the scoring champion for the seventh consecutive year this season. However, his MVP trophy was stolen by his brother Charles Barkley this year. Although Barkley entered the Phoenix SUNS this year, the speed with which he integrated into the team was really amazing. He led the Phoenix SUNS to a team record of 62-20 in the season, and then in the Western Conference finals with Seattle Supersonics in the game 7 crazy score of 44 points and 24 rebounds, led the Phoenix successfully out of the West in this year, to advance to the finals, Barkley in this year to lead the Phoenix people to challenge the king of Chicago Bulls. Although Barkley series can average 27.3 points, 13 rebounds and 5.5 assists, and Jordan 55 points on the game responded to 32 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists triple-double data, but Michael - Jordan in the series can average an amazing 41 points, such a brilliant performance completely overwhelmed Charles - Barkley's strong momentum. In front of the "basketball god", the Phoenix people resisted for 6 games, and finally could only swallow the bitter fruit of regret. Jordan and his Chicago Bulls achieved three consecutive championships in this year, and the Bulls dynasty was finally settled.

1994-1995: The Golden Age of Space City
On August 3, 1993, Michael Jordan announced his retirement from the NBA and turned to baseball after his father was shot and killed. In the 1993-1994 season, the Chicago Bulls, without Michael Jordan, were like praying mantises cut off, although they tried to drag the New York Knicks, the first in the East, to a tiebreak in the Eastern Conference finals, but none of them had the ability to help Chicago out of the sea of suffering at the moment of life and death on the line. Patrick Ewing and his New York Knicks, after years of hibernation, finally broke through the chains set by Chicago and returned to the Finals for the first time in more than 20 years. Hakeem Olajuwon broke out in the 1993-94 season, he could average 27+12 figures, and at the end of the regular season, he swept the regular season MVP and Defensive Player of the year two major awards. And in the playoffs of that year, they have defeated the Blazers, the Sun and the Jazz and other three periods of traditional strong teams, the road to promotion can be described as full of gold. After trailing 2-3 in the first five games of the Finals, Hakeem Olajuwon sealed the victory with a game-winning shot in Game 6. In Game 7, John Starks shot just 2 of 18 from the field, causing the Knicks to fail to laugh at the end. Big Dream and his team reached the championship podium for the first time that year, and he was awarded the Most Valuable Player of the Finals with his excellent performance.
In 1994-95, Michael Jordan returned to the line to help the Bulls get a playoff ticket, but Grant's departure led to a tight interior, and eventually lost to the Magic in the second round, while O 'Neal led the Magic to the finals, and in the finals, their opponent will be the defending champion Houston Rockets. Olajuwon's "stretch the three-second zone" play made young O 'Neal feel very uncomfortable in defense, although this play reduced his shooting percentage (48% in the series, 53% in the playoffs), but the result of the game is the most important point of talk, he eventually won the series. In the four games of the series, he scored higher than O 'Neal in each game, and his excellent performance also gave his teammates a great fight. The Houston people finally swept the Orlando Magic in the finals that year, winning a historic second straight championship, and Hakeem Olajuwon was named Finals MVP again. What is more historic is that he completed a "pass kill" of the "four major centers in history" (in addition to himself) in two years, which also laid his unique historical status on the NBA roster.

1996-1998: Bull Dynasty (Part 2)
In 1995-96, the former Kings of the Chicago Bulls, who were toppled by the New York Knicks the previous year, staged a strong comeback. They can be said in this season is God kill God, Buddha kill Buddha, no one can stop the pace of Chicago, they in this season crazy swept 72 wins. Set a record for wins in a single season in NBA history. Michael Jordan averaged 30.4 points per game in the season, winning the scoring title for the eighth time in his career, which also ended Wilt Chamberlain's record of seven career scoring titles, and he also won his fourth regular season MVP trophy this year. In addition, Dennis Rodman, the "old enemy" who entered Chicago at the beginning of the year, could grab 14.9 rebounds per game during the season, winning the rebounding king for the fifth consecutive time. Tony Kukoc, who is known as the "European Jordan", can contribute 13.1 points, 4 rebounds and 3.5 assists on the bench in the season, which also makes him win the sixth Man of the year in the season. On the way to the Eastern Conference playoffs, the Bulls lost only one game (the semifinals vs. the Knicks), and waiting for them in the Finals was the Seattle Supersonics, who played the best defense in the league that year, led by Gary Payton and Shawn Kemp. And did not allow the defending champion Houston Rockets to win a single game in the playoffs. Arguably, this was the best golden age in the history of the Supersonics. Unfortunately, they were up against the most powerful Chicago Bulls in history, and eventually Jordan led the Bulls to their fourth championship. He also became the first player since Willis Reed in 1970 to win the regular season MVP, All-Star MVP, and Finals MVP in the same year.
In the 1996-97 season, the NBA ushered in the most powerful golden generation since the God of War generation of 84, in this generation of talented people, Outstanding among them are Allen Iverson (1), Marcus Camby (2), Stephon Marbury (4), Ray Allen (5), Anthony Walker (6), Kobe Bryant (13), Peja Stojakovic (14), Steve Nash (15), Jermaine O 'Neal (17), Senior Z Ilgauskas (20) Derek Fisher (24), and so on, while O 'Neal entered the Angel City, Barkley moved to the space City. Although their teams will be greatly improved, but when the season in the West, the Lakers, Rockets and last year's Western champion supersonic have not been able to become the protagonist, the Western leader of the year is the Utah Jazz who has been dormant for many years, Utah Jazz when the season achieved the best record in the West 64 wins. While the team's star interior lineman Karl Malone also stole the regular season MVP from Michael Jordan during the season, the Jazz, along with the aforementioned three teams, also staged a "four-dragon play" in the playoffs this year. That year, the Jazz defeated the Los Angeles Lakers led by O 'Neal in the Western semifinals, and in the Western Finals with Stockton's three-point shot in Game 6 to beat the Houston Rockets, which had three NBA history 50 stars, and successfully survived the finals. However, the Jazz lost to the Bulls in the Finals by a total of 2-4, giving the Bulls their fifth championship in franchise history, and Michael Jordan won his fifth Finals MVP that year.
1997-98 season, Tim - Duncan entered the NBA, Tim - Duncan in his first season in the NBA appeared in the All-Star team, the All-NBA team, the All-Defensive team and many other team nominations. However, they were no match for the Utah Jazz, and Duncan's first playoff trip ended in the Western Conference semifinals that year. Michael Jordan, who announced before the start of the season that he would retire at the end of the season, led the Bulls to another 60+ wins this season, and regained the regular season MVP trophy that Malone stole in the 1996-97 season, and in the finals, the Bulls defeated the Utah Jazz 4-2, completing the second three-game championship in team history. In this year, Michael Jordan carried this countless glory to the end of his second NBA trip with a smile.

1999 - The legend of the Holy City Bloom begins
In the 1998-99 season, the Chicago Bulls were in a panic after Jordan retired again, the team management first fired the team's six-time champion Phil Jackson, and then, after Jordan and the Zen master left, facing the rest of the mess, Pippen knew that it was hopeless to win the championship. He followed in the footsteps of the Zen master to the West, and after some selection, he chose to join the Houston Rockets, his glorious 11 years in Chicago also came to an end that year. That season, the NBA fell into one of its worst lockouts because of labor issues.

In addition, although the history of the Charlotte Hornets, the predecessor of the New Orleans Pelicans, belongs to the Charlotte Hornets, just as the Oklahoma City Thunder promised that the history of the Seattle Supersonics, the predecessor of the Oklahoma City Thunder, will be returned to Seattle if Seattle builds an NBA team, but because the original team is actually relocated, So we don't take team history back into account.
Overall, the game scores
NBA Summer League
,
NBA preseason game
,
NBA regular season
and
NBA playoffs
It is carried out in four stages.
Preseason game
Is the warm-up game of the NBA teams, because after the end of each season, each team has considerable changes in the lineup, in order to let the teams run in the lineup, familiar with the play of their respective teams, determine the team's new season lineup, but also to improve the communication between the players and coaches, so before the start of each season, the NBA held a number of preseason games. So that they can enter the long regular season in better shape. In an effort to expand the NBA's global reach, about a third of preseason games are held outside the United States.
[17]
Regular season
The 82-game regular season schedule:
1: Play 2 games against different league teams, 1 game home and 1 game away (total of 30 games).
2: Play 4 games against teams in the same division, 2 home games each (16 games in total).
3: 4 games against 6 teams from different divisions of the league (total 24) 3 games against 4 teams (total 12 games).
The All-Star Game
As a traditional basketball feast, the NBA All-Star Weekend has been held for 53 years. The idea was originally proposed by Haske Cohen, the head of public relations at NBA headquarters at the time, and the idea originated from the National League Baseball All-Star Game, the purpose of naturally to further promote the NBA.
New things are generally not good, the NBA All-Star Game is no exception, who would have thought 50 years later the All-Star Game so luxurious? At this time, Portland Trail Blazers owner Walter Brown stood up to strongly support the tournament.
And the All-Star Game at that time also did not have so many tricks now, only the All-Star Game one activity.
[18]
The starting lineups for the All-Star Game are voted on by fans around the world through NBA.COM, the NBA APP and social media.
[1]
All-star Game reserves are voted on by the head coaches of the thirty teams, or by the league president if a player is unable to attend due to injury
Adam Silver
Designate a player from the other players to supplement.
[1]
If a starting player is unable to attend due to injury, the coach of the All-Star Game will select a player from the bench. Until the start of the All-Star Game, the head coaches of the two teams with the best records in the Major leagues serve as the head coaches of their respective All-Star teams.
[1]
playoff
The top eight teams in the Eastern and Western Conferences will play each other in the playoffs based on first versus eighth, second versus seventh, and so on. Each series is played in a best-of-seven format, with the team with the best regular season record having home-court advantage. (2-2-1-1-1) The division champions of both conferences advance to the finals, also best-of-seven.
[1]
Each team plays 82 games in the regular season
[1]
The top eight teams in the East and West entered the playoffs.
1. Each session shall be 12 minutes long and each overtime session shall be 5 minutes long.
[1]
2. The rest time between the first and second halves is 15 minutes.
(3) There shall be a 130-second break between periods 1 and 2, between periods 3 and 4, and between each overtime period.
Talent show
The NBA Draft is held at the end of June each year,
[1]
Candidates for the draft include: 19 years of age or older, graduated from high school for more than one year and officially declared their candidacy; All international players over the age of 22; All players over the age of 19 who have signed a contract with an international professional team; All American players who graduated from college.
[1]
It is a balanced policy adopted by the NBA League to promote the development of teams, which ensures the competitiveness and sustainable development of the league. The NBA Draft has the security of a reserve of talent. Newcomers to the "draft" are generally students from universities across the United States, and they are usually in the National College Basketball League
NCAA
The best. Before 2006, influenced by the utilitarian idea, many high school players participated in the "draft", and more people who did not graduate from college into the NBA are everywhere.
Starting in 2006, the requirement to enter the draft was raised to at least 19 years of age and one year of high school graduation. The prerequisite for international players to participate in the draft is to have played professional leagues in their home countries. If international players study in high school or university in the United States, they shall refer to the entry conditions of local players. For young players who participate in the draft, the NBA ranks them based on their performance during college (or high school), of course, this ranking does not determine the team's selection in the draft, only for reference.
Through the lottery, avoid the team to deliberately lose, because the regular season last does not necessarily mean the first pick. Once the first three picks are determined, the team with the high-ranked pick can select its preferred player from the pool of available prospects, supplementing the team's most needed positions. After non-playoff teams pick the top 14 rookies in the first round, the next 16 picks are reserved for playoff teams, and the draw order of these 16 teams is determined in reverse order according to the regular season record, that is, the better the regular season record, the lower the draft position. The second round of the draft is in reverse order of last season's record, and NBA teams can use draft picks as leverage in in-season player trades. Therefore, in the actual draft process, the record ranking may not be consistent with the draft ranking.
There are three types of NBA timeouts: short, regular and official. The short pause time is 20 seconds, the regular pause time is 100 or 60 seconds, and the official pause time is 100 seconds.
Each side has a short stop in the first half of the game, but it cannot be used cumulatively. In other words, the short stop in the first half cannot be reserved for the second half, and the short stop opportunity in the first half will be invalid in the second half. But a brief stop in the second half could be used in overtime.
Regular pauses are also called long pauses, and there are two types of 100-second and 60-second pauses. Each team can call six long timeouts during the regular 48 minutes, including four 100-second timeouts and two 60-second short stops. The 100-second pause must be used once in one to four sessions, or not at all, but again, it cannot be used cumulatively.
[19]
Three second violation
Three-second attack
The attacking player must not be in his own side when his team is in control of the ball
Penalty area
The area between the two end lines and their 4-foot (1.2 m) extension out of the court, and the edge of the free throw line away from the baseline side remains for more than three seconds.
[20]
Defensive three-second violation
Any defender who is in the 16-foot (4.9 m) penalty area or the area extends 4 feet (1.2 m) beyond the baseline must be actively defending an opposing player for three seconds. Active defense means being no more than an arm's length away from an attacking player and being in a defensive position.
24 second violation
When an offense begins, the player must take a shot within 24 seconds, at least one shot within 24 seconds, or else it is
24 second violation
.
There are two typical cases of 24-second violation, one is that the ball is still in the hands of the player or passed between each other within 24 seconds, and the shot is not formed within 24 seconds, which is a violation. The second is to form a shot, but the ball did not hit or touch the basket, at this time the 24 seconds run out, it is also a violation.

On October 7, 2019, Michael Buss, the NBA's chief communications officer, issued a statement: We are saddened by Houston Rockets General Manager Darryl Buss
Moret
He is extremely disappointed by his inappropriate remarks and has undoubtedly seriously hurt the feelings of Chinese fans. Morey has now clarified that his comments do not represent the position of the Rockets or the NBA. Under the values of the NBA, people can learn more about things that interest them and share their opinions. We have great respect for China's history and culture and hope that sports and the NBA, as a unifying positive energy, will continue to build Bridges for international cultural exchanges and bring people together."
