The NBA League is a game founded by the National Basketball Association (NBA), and its intensity and level are recognized as the highest in the world.
1896, the first American basketball organization, the National Basketball League (NBL), was established, but at that time, the rules and organization of basketball were not perfect, and often one player could 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 long-range shooting system and holds dunk contest every year. These measures are not allowed in the NBA. But due to poor management, Aba
1976 was annexed by American NBA, and since then NBA has formed a monopoly on 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 "rookie selection and distribution system", which ranks college students who graduated in that year according to their level, and then the clubs are selected in turn according to the final ranking of the league in that year, with the latter ranking first, and each team can only choose one player in each round, thus ensuring that the weakest team can get the highest level rookie, and the weak team who 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.
The NBA * * * has 30z teams, which are divided into Eastern League and Western League, each with 15 teams.

As an old team in the NBA, the Philadelphia 76ers didn't set its home in Philadelphia at the beginning of its construction, and didn't name it the 76ers, but they have a very patriotic name-Syracuse National Team. With the merger of NBL and ABB, the Syracuse national team formed by 1937 joined the NBA on 1949 and achieved quite good results. In the 14 NBA campaign before the name change, she reached the playoffs without exception 14 times, broke into the division and league finals many times, and won the 1 championship.
But it was not until 1963 moved to Philadelphia, the capital of basketball, that the team really ushered in the passionate years of NBA career.
The first player who injected passion into the 76ers was wilt chamberlain, who combined speed, height, strength and skill. Chamberlain is the first all-rounder in basketball history. He won seven NBA scoring titles and 1 1 rebounding titles in his entire basketball career, and still holds the highest scoring record of 100. After two years of running-in, this 76ers team finally ushered in its heyday at 1967. They reached the playoffs with a jaw-dropping regular season record (68- 13) and finally won the championship easily. At the celebration of the 35th anniversary of NBA held in 1980, this team was rated as the strongest team in NBA history.
Chamberlain was traded to Los Angeles on 1969, and the performance of the 76ers began to decline, even falling to 9 wins and 73 losses in the regular season of 1972-73. In the silence, the humble "Dr. J" Julius Erving "flew" to Philadelphia. He not only brought fascinating technology to Philadelphia, but also brought the 76ers back to the top teams. However, from the late 1970s to the early 1980s, 76 people led by Dr. J were blocked by Magic Johnson's Los Angeles Lakers and larry bird's Boston Celtics in the 1980 finals and 19865438 playoffs respectively. It wasn't until the season of 1982- 1983 that moses malone, a talented center, joined the NBA championship for the 76ers, and Malone himself won the MVP title in the regular season and finals.
In the following years, the champion aura never visited Philadelphia again, but the fighting spirit and passion were never far away from the 76ers. In the middle and late 1980s, charles barkley, a powerful and radiant man, took his team to the Atlanta Division and the Eastern Conference finals for many times. In the early 1990s, after Buckley's transfer, the 76ers experienced another difficult downturn. But in the late 1990s, 76ers finally ushered in the emergence of "recreational" allen iverson. This little man who dribbled like lightning and made a quick layup won the titles of rookie king, scoring king and stealing king one after another just after his debut, and the whole Philadelphia was also fascinated by it.
Since coach Larry Brown joined the team, the 76ers have undergone fundamental changes. Not only is the game more enjoyable, but the game results are also rising. 1999-2000 season, this unique team finally reached the NBA finals. Unfortunately and unexpectedly, they lost to the Lakers led by O 'Neal, but the 76ers also created an NBA best. A team won four awards at the same time-MVP (allen iverson), Best Coach Award (Larry Brown) and Best Defense.
Looking forward to the 2002-2003 season, it is not impossible for the 76ers to return to the NBA finals as long as Iverson can get rid of the long-term predicament he suffered last season.

Indiana Pacers is a strong team in the NBA. Since 1976 joined the NBA, it has gradually established its position as a strong team, and "Miller moment" has always been a topic that fans talk about.
In the 1970 s, the new pacers did not perform well and never entered the playoffs. 198 1 year, under the command of Jack McKinney, the Pacers scored 44 wins and 38 losses. Subsequently, the team once again fell into a downturn. 1982- 1983 season, the Pacers hit rock bottom and won only 20 games. The hopeless management even once considered selling the team to other cities.
Subsequently, the team made a series of lineup adjustments. 1985 was selected as the second rookie wayman tisdale, and 1986 was selected as the best rookie "Infantry" Chuck Person. 1987' s famous outside killer reggie miller was also selected by the team. During his 65,438+05 years playing for Pacers, this loyal shooter created many records for the team and NBA, was selected to the All-Star Team five times and won an Olympic gold medal. He repeatedly turned the tide at the last moment of the game and sealed his throat with a sword, which made many teams suffer from the "Miller moment".
In the 1990s, the Pacers finally looked forward to the revival. 199 1 and 1992, the Pacers entered the playoffs one after another. 1993 and 1994, under the leadership of the famous coach Larry Brown, the team reached the Eastern Conference finals for two consecutive years, but unfortunately failed to break through the defense lines of Knicks and Magic.
The mighty pacers did not give up the impact on the Eastern Conference champion. Under the command of larry bird, the best coach of 1998, the Pacers returned to the Eastern Conference finals with 1998 and 1999. But in their heyday, bulls and Knicks stood in their way. In 2000, the Pacers made persistent efforts and finally defeated the Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals, making amends and winning the first Eastern Conference championship in the team's history. The team met the Lakers with MVP shaquille o'neal and Kobe Bryant in the finals, and the score of 2: 4 failed to make the Pacers laugh at the end.
In 2000, larry bird, who brought the team to the highest point in history, stopped sticking to his post due to physical reasons, and another famous NBA assassin, isiah thomas, joined the team. The former Indiana University hero and NBA champion continued the Pacers' hopes and led the team to stay in the playoffs for the next two years. This season, reggie miller, who is still brave, has formed a more balanced lineup with Jermaine ONeal, Artest, al harrington and brad miller. I believe they will become one of the strongest teams in the East.

Team profile:
Chicago Bulls is definitely the most famous NBA team in the world. Because Michael Jordan, the greatest player in the history of the "flying man" NBA, has already fixed his light and domineering figure wearing the Bull No.23 jersey in the hearts of every fan.
Bull, 1966 joined the NBA, and after a difficult adaptation period, it gradually improved. Since 197 1, the Bulls have won more than 50 games in the regular season for four consecutive years, and finally sounded the horn of attack. 1974 and 1975, the bulls reached the division finals twice with tenacious defense. But with the retirement of all-star players chet walker and Si Long, the Bulls began to decline. 10 Although there are seven coaches, the players can only watch the playoffs in front of the TV almost every year.
1984, the history of bulls has turned a new page. At that time, there were a lot of NBA talents, but Michael Jordan, a guard who joined the Bulls as a draft scout, quickly stood out and shined brilliantly. From 65438 to 0987, Jerry Krause, the general manager with an eye for pearls, successively recruited Horace Grant and scottie pippen, and the strength of the Bull increased greatly. However, in the following three years, the Bulls were still blocked from the finals by the Detroit Pistons led by isiah thomas and dennis rodman, and the two teams became enemies.
From 65438 to 0990, Phil Jackson was hired as the head coach. He integrated the tactics of "multi-point rotation" and "triangle attack" into the team, and the bulls became stronger and stronger.
199 1, the invincible bull finally defeated the old enemy Pistons in the Eastern Conference finals, and Jordan succeeded in revenge. In the subsequent finals, the Bulls swept the Lakers led by Magic Johnson and won the first championship trophy. In the following two years, the Bulls defeated the Trailblazers led by "glider" drexler and the Suns led by "heavy tank" charles barkley in the finals, successfully defended their titles, and announced the arrival of the Bull Dynasty with a record of three consecutive championships.
1993, Jordan, who suffered from the loss of his father, suddenly announced that he would quit basketball and play baseball instead. Team leaderless, the strong take advantage. To their horror, before the 1995 playoffs, Jordan returned to the NBA, and the incarnation of God came back on the basketball court! 1996, the Bulls bid farewell to Grant and invited Rodman, the former enemy rebounding king. Bulls continue to play the NBA myth, winning 37 games in a row, not only setting an NBA record of 72 wins 10 losses in the regular season and 3 losses 15 in the playoffs, but also defeating the Sonics 4-2 in the finals and regaining the championship. Since then, the Bulls have made persistent efforts to beat the Jazz, which reached the finals for two consecutive years, and completed the second consecutive championship. The bull dynasty was radiant.
Jordan played for the Bulls in 13 season, won the MVP five times, won the All-Star Team 10/0, defended the first team nine times, won the scoring title 10, and won the Olympic Games twice. This basketball overlord who seems to be out of the control of gravity has created countless wonderful moments, set a new NBA record and become a veritable "flying king".
1998, the famous Jordan bravely retired and bid farewell to basketball for the second time. Pippen, Rodman, Langley, Cole and kukoc all left the Bulls one after another, and even Jackson took a big vacation. The bull dynasty declined in its heyday, and the NBA entered the post-bull era. In recent years, the team began to rebuild on a large scale, welcoming the top draft, Jay Ross, Jay Williams and Danny Marshall. These athletes have great potential, but it will take time to get back on their feet.

Team profile:
The Rockets are a team with a tradition of high center, from early moses malone and Ralph Sampson to hakeem olajuwon, and China center Yao Ming who was selected in the first round in 2003. Rocket 1967 joined the NBA and settled in San Diego. After four dull seasons, they moved to Houston at 197 1.
Like many teams, the Rockets' first season was disappointing. 1967- 1968 season, the rockets only won 15 and lost 67. In the second season, the Rockets won the "Big E" elvin hayes from the University of Houston. The rookie season averaged 28.4 points per game, and the performance of the Rockets began to rise. 1968- 1969 season, the rockets made a record of 37 wins and 45 losses and reached the playoffs. 1970 Rocket 27 wins and 55 losses, 197 1, 40 wins and 42 losses. Starting from 197 1, the Rockets moved to Houston.
Houston people prefer to watch football, so the Rockets didn't get much welcome when they moved here. In the 1976- 1977 season, the Rockets won the legendary moses malone. At that time, the Rockets also had Tom Janovich and others, who won the 1977 Central Championship with 49 wins and 33 losses, but lost to the 76ers in the Eastern Conference finals.
1977- 1978 season, Tom janovic was seriously injured by Comite Washington and rested for five months. The strength of the Rockets was greatly damaged, with only 28 wins and 54 losses that season. 1978- 1979 season, moses malone averaged 24.8 points 17.6 rebounds and won the MVP in the regular season. The Rockets also entered the playoffs, but were eliminated in the first round. 1980- 198 1 season, under the leadership of moses malone, the Rockets entered the finals again, but in the finals, the Celtics of larry bird won 4-2.
The Rockets reached the finals for the second time eight years later. 1983 and 1984, the Rockets won two consecutive No.1 pick-ups, Ralph sampson and Achim Olajuwon, respectively, and two players over 2. 10 formed the "Twin Towers". Rockets 1985 reached the playoffs, but were eliminated by Jazz in the first round. 1986, the rockets reached the finals, but this time they met Celtic and failed.
It was not until 1994 that the Rockets won the first championship trophy. Olajuwon averaged 27.3 points 1 1.9 rebounds and 3.7 1 blocks that season. In the finals, the Rockets met the new york Knicks. Olajuwon defeated Ewing and the Rockets won the team's first championship 4-2.
1995, the Rockets got the "glider" drexler from the Trailblazers, but the defending champion struggled in the regular season, with only 47 wins and 35 losses. The playoffs are also very difficult. The first round defeated the Jazz with 60 wins, and the second round lost to the Suns with 1-3, but the Rockets won three games in a row. In the Western Conference finals, Olajuwon played david robinson, the MVP of the regular season, and the Rockets beat the San Antonio Spurs 4-2 to advance. In the finals, Olajuwon met the young O 'Neill, and the Rockets swept Orlando Magic 4-0 to win the championship again.
After four seasons, the Rockets scored well in the regular season, but they didn't go far in the playoffs. 1999 Pippen, Olajuwon and Buckley also stopped in the first round. In the 2000 season, the Rockets got old and left. 16 failed to enter the playoffs for the first time since the season.
Rocket reorganization, Olajuwon joined the Raptors in 2000 and retired in 2002, 1 1.9. In the 2003 draft, the Rockets hand-picked Yao Ming from China as the top pick, and then introduced a high center. A new era has begun.
