189 1 year, in order to find a way for students to exercise in winter, Dr. James Naishmis of Springfield College in Massachusetts, USA, created basketball with two broken baskets and a substitute football, which led to today's NBA in full swing. The NBA was founded on June 6th, 1946. When it was founded, it was called BAA, which is the American Basketball Association. It was established by the owners of 1 1 ice hockey venues in order to prevent the venues from being idle outside the ice hockey competition.

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. After several seasons, the organization existed in name only.

☆1On April 6, 946, the American Basketball Association (BAA) was founded by Walter A. Brown, the owner of Boston Garden in the United States. 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 the National Basketball Association (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.

☆ 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 a team with three consecutive championships. At that time, there were only eight teams in the NBA: new york Knicks, Boston Celtics, Philadelphia Warriors (Golden State Warriors), fort wayne Pistons (Detroit Pistons), Minneapolis Lakers (Los Angeles Lakers), Rochester Royals (Sacramento Kings), Syracuse Nationals (Philadelphia 76ers) and Tri-City Blackhawks (Atlanta Hawks).

☆ 196 1 year, Chicago Packers Team (Washington Wizards) 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 Team (Oklahoma Thunder Team), 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. The NBA league is officially divided into East and West.

☆ 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 but due to poor management, ABA was annexed by American NBA, and the original ABA teams Denver Nuggets, Indiana Pacers, new york Nets and San Antonio Spurs were merged into 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.

1988, Charlotte Hornets (New Orleans 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 (Memphis Grizzlies), bringing the number of NBA teams to 29.

☆ In 2004, the Charlotte Bobcats joined 30 teams.

☆ In 2006, American International Group, Google, Oracle Bone Inscriptions, Yahoo, Telstra, Bunny (Network) Group, British Shell Oil, Three Kingdoms King, Philips, Chiron Bubble and Citibank became the first-class sponsors of the NBA.

NBA is the league of American professional basketball teams, and its rules are necessarily different from FIBA rules formulated by the International Amateur Basketball Federation.

(A) the rules of the game

Rectangular penalty areas are marked at both ends of the stadium, which are 19 feet (5.79 meters) long and 16 feet (4.88 meters) wide. The two ends of the court are marked with 3-point shooting lines. The drawing method is as follows: draw two lines parallel to the sideline from the baseline, each of which is 3 feet (0.9 1 m) away from the sideline and intersects with an arc with a radius of 23 feet 9 inches (7.24 meters) centered on the center of the basket. The arc radius of WNBA is 19 feet 9 inches (6.02 meters). The radius of a circle is 6 feet (1.83 meters). The radius of the middle circle is 2 feet (0.6 1 m), and there is a middle line running through it. There are also four marking lines with a width of 2 inches (5.08 cm) perpendicular to the sideline. Each marking line is 28 feet (8.53 m) away from the baseline and extends 3 feet (0.9 1 m) into the field. (Position area and neutral area and some short marking lines are omitted. )

2. Competition time

Each game is divided into two and a half hours ***4 sessions, each session 12 minutes. Work overtime for five minutes. There is a break between the first and second quarters, and the third and fourth quarters 130 seconds. Half-time 15 minutes. Take a break between the fourth quarter and overtime and between any overtime 100 seconds. At the last minute of the first, second and third quarters, the game timing should be stopped after the shooting is successful. In the fourth quarter and the last two minutes of overtime, you should stop the game timing after shooting successfully.

Step 3 group

During the competition, each team has 5 people, and the number of people on the field shall not be less than 5. If a player commits a personal foul for the sixth time and the team does not have a qualified substitute, the player should stay on the court and register as a personal foul and a team foul; The team will also be fined for technical fouls. All subsequent personal fouls (including offensive fouls) should be handled in this way. If there are only five qualified players, and one of them has to leave or be expelled due to injury, it should be replaced by the last player who has been disqualified for six games due to personal foul. Every time it is necessary to replace an injured or expelled player, it should be handled in this reverse order. Any disqualified player who participates in the competition again will be fined for technical foul.

start the game

The first quarter of the game and overtime should start from the middle jump ball. The second and third quarters should start with the team that lost the ball after the kick-off in the first quarter throwing a foul ball at the finish line. In the fourth quarter, the team that gets the ball immediately after the kick-off in the first quarter should start by throwing a foul ball at the finish line.

5. Dead ball, live ball, pressure ball

When the following situations occur, the ball becomes a dead ball: fighting for the ball; The ball stays on the basket or gets stuck between the basket and the backboard; Any period of time is over; A free throw for a technical foul; Personal foul (boxing foul, non-competition foul); The first of many free throws; Foul on the court (take the ball for 3 seconds, 10 seconds, 24 seconds, etc. ); Foul in a fight; Supervision post; After successful shooting or free throw; Before the players go out of bounds. The ball survives in the following situations: in any jump ball, when the referee throws the ball; When the player who throws the foul ball can handle the ball; When the penalty taker can handle the ball. The ball becomes a dynamic ball under the following circumstances: when the ball is legally shot by the jumper; When the ball leaves the hand of the player who throws the foul ball; When the ball leaves the free throw player's hand.

replace

Substitute players should report their names and numbers to the recorder and stay in the replacement area in front of the recorder. If you don't report to the recorder, you will be fined $25. When the ball becomes a dead ball (except after the successful shooting), the recorder will whistle to announce the substitution, and the substitute players need to be signaled by the referee to enter the game. The time to replace a disqualified player is 30 seconds. After the first free throw of many free throws, substitutes are allowed to enter the game regardless of whether the free throw is correct or not. A substitute shall not replace a free throw player or a jumper unless the injured player asks for a replacement. In this case, the coach of the opposing team shall choose a substitute on the team seat of the free throw (jumper) side. The injured players can't play any more. Once the substitute enters the game, he must stay on the field until the next dead ball. If a player is injured due to unethical behavior and cannot execute a free throw, his coach can designate any qualified player in the team to execute a free throw. Injured players can also play again.

7. Suspension

(l)20-second timeout Each team has the right to ask for a 20-second timeout every half hour. Every game (including overtime) * * * can require two 20-second timeouts. A player asks for a 20-second timeout, which will only be suspended when the ball is dead or the team has control of the ball. Players should shout "20-second timeout". During the 20-second timeout, the team can only change one player. If the suspended team is asked to replace a player, the opposing team can also replace a player. If a second 20-second timeout is required at halftime (including overtime), it should be allowed, but the regular timeout should be registered. If the game cannot continue at the end of 20 seconds, you should also register for a regular timeout.

The fourth quarter limits each team to no more than 4 timeouts; In the last two minutes of the fourth quarter, there shall be no more than three pauses. In overtime, each team is allowed to pause three times. The player requires a timeout of 100 second, and the timeout will only be given when the ball dies or the team has the ball. Players should shout: "Time out". There must be two pauses in each game. If no team calls a timeout with 6 minutes and 59 seconds left in each game, the recorder should take a mandatory timeout at the first dead ball, and this timeout should be registered in the name of the home team. No team calls a second timeout when there are 2 minutes and 59 seconds left in each game, and the recorder has to force a timeout when the ball is dead for the first time. This timeout is registered in the name of the team that has not been registered in this section before. Additional timeouts are allowed, but a technical foul will be awarded. When the game is suspended, the head coach can ask for a 20-second or 100-second timeout.

Rule number two

When a team gets a new ball in a game, or when the ball is thrown into the field and legally touched by the players on the field, the 24-second timer will start counting.
