What are the incomprehensible and shocking rules of the NBA?

The first thing to vomit is the NBA ranking system. In Jordan's time, the east and the west were ranked directly according to their scores. Although this will prevent teams in some divisions from entering the playoffs, at least it seems fair. Therefore, in order to be "fair", the NBA introduced the division system in 2004, and the champions of the three divisions in the East and West received preferential treatment and directly entered the top three in the playoff division. In this way, if you want to crowd out teams in the same division, you can get tickets for the playoffs, which ensures that teams in all divisions can participate in the playoffs. This seemingly reasonable plan was changed again after the face change in 2009 (in 2009, the Spurs and Mavericks had a high winning percentage, but they were forced to meet in the first round because they were in the Southwest Division). In order to avoid the same thing, the NBA changed the rules, only allowing the division champions to enter the top four in the playoffs, but not guaranteeing the ranking; The second place in the division with the highest winning percentage can also occupy a place here, which at least ensures that the strong teams will not meet in the first round. In fact, this is quite in line with the principle of "high ability is better than good background" in modern society. In the NBA, this is called "playing well is not as good as playing well in the division".

Let's look at the puzzling jump ball. Everyone must think jumping ball is normal. In fact, if you look closely, you will find that the seemingly fair and just jump rules depend on the level of the referee. If the referee throws the ball sideways, he won't jump the ball again. He can only admit that he is unlucky. In Bian Xiao's view, the opening jump ball is even more meaningless. The kick-off of football is that one side directly controls the attack of the ball, while basketball is determined by the jump ball. The successful jumper in the first quarter serves the foul ball in the fourth quarter, and the other side serves the foul ball in the second and third quarters. Then what am I jumping for? In any case, a team owns the ball in two quarters. I don't jump the ball in the first quarter, but I also serve in the second and third quarters. What a waste of emotion. Of course, the jump ball in overtime is necessary (but the probability of overtime in a game is still very low).

NBA cheerleaders also have some very strange rules, such as not wearing underwear when performing. The reason why you can't wear underwear is that cheerleading uniforms are tight and rhythmic. Wearing underwear will obviously show a trace and damage the appearance. I don't know what name this rule will be called in China (immoral, fashionable, or ...). Sometimes a player wears a pair of underwear and is immediately sent to the bench.

In addition, the NBA has clear salary regulations for the first draft, but there is no requirement for the second draft, which means that the second draft may play at a higher salary than the first draft. Although there is no such rich and willful boss, if there is a brain-damaged, the first round of the show is really embarrassing!
