The NBA is a professional basketball league in the U.S.

The NBA is a men's professional basketball league made up of 30 professional basketball teams in North America, one of the four major professional sports leagues in the U.S..

And the highest level of professional basketball in the world.

The NBA is also divided into two leagues, the Eastern and Western.

Each league has 15 teams, and these 15 teams are divided into 3 divisions for the games, which are played in the following ways.

1. NBA Preseason

The preseason is the equivalent of a warm-up game for each team.

After the previous season, each team may make adjustments to its roster based on the previous season's games, including bringing in new players or replacing players they don't need.

The new lineups need a certain period to break in, and this preseason can be used as a break-in period for the team players to get to know each other better.

The coach will also plan the scheduling for the later games according to the situation of the players in the team so that everyone can get into shape faster and better.

In order to expand the NBA's global reach, about 1/3 of the preseason teams will travel to countries outside the United States to play.

2. NBA regular season

There are 82 games in the regular season, and the specific rules of the games are as follows.

a. According to the home-and-home system, the East and West leagues will play two games each with teams from different leagues, which means each team will play 30 games.

b. Then play 4 games each with teams in the same conference, 2 home games and 2 away games, a total of 16 games.

c. 6 teams from different divisions in the same league will play 4 games each and 4 teams will play 3 games.

3. All-Star Game

The NBA All-Star Game was first played by the National Basketball Association on March 2, 1951, and has since evolved into an annual showcase of NBA stars.

Each year, two teams of the best players from the East and West divisions play a game to determine the winner.

The All-Star Game has evolved to become the "All-Star Weekend", a seven-day event.

These included the "All-Star Gala," "Rookie All-Star Challenge," "Dunk Contest," "3-Point Long Range Shooting Contest ", "Basketball Technical Challenge", "Shooting Relay" and "All-Star Game".

In addition, there are various contests and performances for fans and journalists during the All-Star Weekend, including the "Million Dollar Super Shot Contest".

And when fans see so many stars gathered together, it will be even more crazy and excited.

The two conferences, the East and the West, each take the top eight finishers based on their regular season results to advance to the playoffs.

The games are played according to the law of superiority and inferiority.

Each round is a seven-game, four-win format. When both leagues have completed all games and produced division champions, the two division champions will play in the finals.

The eventual winner is the overall champion of the entire league and receives the coveted championship ring.
