What major events happened in the NBA in 2020?

2020 is destined to be an extraordinary year. Only after less than three months, all kinds of worries, troubles and troubles followed. For friends who pay attention to NBA, they have encountered a series of accidents. Let's have a look.

1. Stern died.

On June 65438+1 October1day, 2020, david stern, former president of NBA, died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage at the age of 77. Stern was the first person to push NBA to the top of the world. Under his leadership, the number of NBA teams has been continuously expanded to 30, and the commercialization model has been extended to the whole world, including opening the China market and Yao Ming joining the NBA as the No.1 scholar. Stern's departure is like the death of a generation.

2. Kobe Bryant was killed

20201On October 26th, 65438, NBA basketball superstar Kobe Bryant died in a helicopter crash in Calabasas at the age of 4 1. Although Kobe retired before his death, his influence is worldwide. For example, when Bian Xiao's family learned that Kobe was killed, they were shocked, even if they were not fans who didn't understand basketball. What I saw on Tik Tok was a video of missing Kobe Bryant. It's really a pity that I can only scream at the sky every time I see it.

3.3. The sixth lockout of NBA.

On March 12, Beijing time, before the Thunder and Jazz started, Jazz center Rudy Gobert was diagnosed with COVID-19. Subsequently, the game was postponed and the league announced a lockout, which was the sixth lockout in NBA history. Prior to this, * * experienced five shutdowns in NBA history, all due to labor disputes, which occurred in 1964, 1976, 1994, 1998 and 20 165438 respectively.

Before the official start of each season, many fans will judge the strength of each team in the league. I believe that in the heated discussion at that time, many people would regard the San Antonio Spurs as a strong contender for playoff seats. After all, under the leadership of Popo, they haven't missed the playoffs for 22 years. Did you know that the Spurs missed the playoffs last time, Devon? Booker and Jay? Brown and other young stars have not yet been born.

In the new era, the league has also ushered in the return of many familiar old faces: Stone Buddha Duncan in a suit and tie, commanding the team to win as the acting head coach; Livingston Barbosa, the hero of the Warrior Dynasty, returned to management;

Steve. Nash, the perfect defender in the running and blasting system of two-time MVP winners, became the new coach of the Nets. I believe that Nash, who is trusted by the Nets' management, can also become the rhythm leader in the team's progress like a player's time, and can be as tacit as those subtle blows he has spread.
