Development history
☆ 1896, the first American basketball organization "National Basketball League" was established, but at that time, the rules and organization of basketball were not perfect. After several seasons, the organization existed in name only. ☆1On April 6th, 946, the American Basketball Association (BAA) was founded by Walter A. Brown, the owner of Boston Garden. When BAA was founded, there were 1 1 teams. Brown first proposed the high salary system and the contract system. High salary system means that professional basketball must have strong financial support, so as to keep the game at a high level. 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. 1 65438+1October1,the competition of BAA officially started. The two sides are the Toronto Eskimos and the new york Knicks. The score was 66: 68, and the Knicks won. ☆ 1947, the Philadelphia Warriors led by Joe Fulks (averaging 23.2 points) defeated the Chicago Bucks 4-0/0 and became the first championship. ☆ 1949, with Brown's efforts, two major American basketball organizations, BAA and NBL, merged into "NBA". The NBA has 17 teams, which are 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. ☆ 1950,165438+1On October 22nd, the game between Minneapolis Lakers and fort wayne Pistons set the lowest score in the NBA, 19: 18. NBA superstar Michael Jordan
☆ 195 1, on March 2nd, Celtic President Brown provided Boston Garden Gymnasium for free to hold the first All-Star Game. The final score was 1 1 1: 94, and the Eastern Star won. ☆ 1952, the Best Excellence Award was established for the first time, and the first winner was Don Meniche of fort wayne Pistons. ☆ Starting from 1954, the NBA began to implement the 24-second system. After defeating the nationals, the Lakers became the first team to win three consecutive championships. At that time, there were only eight teams in the NBA: new york Knicks, Boston Celtics, Philadelphia Warriors, fort wayne Pistons, Minneapolis Lakers, Rochester Royal, Syracuse Nationals and Tri-City Blackhawks. ☆ 196 1 year, Chicago packers joined. ☆ 1966, Celtic completed the unique eight consecutive championships. Chicago Bulls joined the NBA and became the 10 team. ☆ 1967, a new basketball organization ABA (American Basketball Association) was established, with George Macon as the first chairman. With the participation of San Diego Rockets (Houston Rockets) and seattle supersonics, the total number of teams rose to 12. 1968, Milwaukee Bucks and Phoenix Suns join. ☆ 1970, three new teams were Cleveland Cavaliers, Portland Trailblazers and Buffalo Warriors, and the NBA league was officially divided into East and West regions. ☆ 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. ☆ 1974, new Orleans jazz (Utah jazz) joined. The total number of teams reached 18. ☆ 1976 However, due to poor management, ABA was annexed by the American NBA, and the original ABA teams Denver Nuggets, Indiana Pacers, new york Nets and San Antonio Spurs were merged into the NBA. The number of teams has increased to 22. Since then, NBA has formed a monopoly on American basketball industry. 65438-0979, 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 and the final draw, with the latter ranking first, and each team can only choose one rookie in each round, thus ensuring that the team with the weakest strength can obtain the highest level. In order to prevent rich teams from monopolizing high-paid star players, the NBA has set a total salary limit for each team. 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. 1980, Dallas Mavericks joined the NBA. ☆ 1984, Jordan, Buckley and other 84 golden generations joined the alliance. 1988, Charlotte Hornets and Miami Heat joined the NBA. 1989, Orlando Magic and Minnesota Timberwolves joined the NBA. 1995, two Canadian teams joined the NBA, Toronto Raptors and Vancouver Grizzlies, bringing the number of NBA teams to 29. ☆ 1996, Iverson, Kobe Bryant, Nash and other rookies who ruled the league 13 years entered the league. ☆ In 2002, Yao Ming entered the NBA and became the first China champion in history.
