Is there a hidden rule in NBA?

For example, in the first round of the playoffs between the Lakers and the Nuggets last year, the Lakers swept the Nuggets 4-0.

Lakers vs nuggets 128- 1 14 wins 2008-04-2 13: 00: 00.

Lakers vs nuggets 122- 107 wins 2008-04-24 10:30:00.

Nuggets vs Lakers 84- 102 wins 2008-04-27 05:30:00

Nuggets vs Lakers10/-107 wins 2008-04-29 10:30:00.

After that, Lakers owner Buss was very angry and said that he could not lose a game. When you come back to play at Staples, I can make more money and continue to scold those players and coaches. Explain that hidden rules still exist.

With the increasingly fierce competition in the NBA playoffs, fans of various teams are also arguing over referees. In fact, if you think about it, you will find that the influence of hidden rules is everywhere. In the American concept, all sports competitions are regarded as a game and a way of entertainment. Of course, the game has its own rules. As one of the most mature and standardized sports leagues in the world, NBA not only follows the basic rules of basketball, but also has some unspoken rules acquiesced by all parties in the league (including team owners, coaches, players, league managers, referees and fans). This is the hidden rule we often say, and it is the product of the long-term development of NBA. Its purpose is to maximize the overall commercial interests of the alliance and make the alliance develop continuously in a relatively fair environment. As a fan, I am not an old hand, but after several seasons of observation, I still touched some clues of hidden rules. The following is my personal analysis for your reference only. One of the hidden rules: success or failure, strong or weak reincarnation. Analysis: This rule can be said that any mature professional sports league must abide by. Without close competition, the game will lose its suspense and attraction, and the shrinking market will inevitably lead to the inability of the alliance to survive. The NBA has taken great pains to implement this rule, mainly in the following aspects: First, the NBA draft system provides a higher probability of mistakes for teams with poor records, but success depends on your luck and vision. For example, the Cleveland Cavaliers, who have been weak for many years, chose LeBron, the top pick? Since James, he has been promoted to the East. Since the Houston Rockets selected No.1 pick Yao Ming, the market value of the team has soared to $420 million, ranking third in the league after the new york Knicks and the Los Angeles Lakers. Second, the salary cap system in NBA provides the necessary conditions for balancing the strength of each team and makes the game more suspenseful. For example, in the playoffs this season, the number of tiebreaker games reached a record, which reflected that the strength gap between teams was narrowing. Third, the NBA strives to safeguard the authority of referees, because referees are the most critical factor in implementing this rule. Take this season's playoffs as an example. The finals of two consecutive seasons were occupied by two teams, the Spurs and the Pistons. The league has had enough of the declining TV ratings year after year. So it is not surprising that the referee favors the Mavericks and Cavaliers at the crucial moment of the game. The Spurs themselves were picked by the Mavericks. Although the pistons over there survived the Cavaliers, they are now 2-3 behind the Heat, which is taken care of by the referee. Obviously, their lives are at stake. The genius of NBA lies in the "soft adjustment" between two teams with equal strength through the authority of referees, so as to increase the probability of the two sides grabbing the seventh world war and the replacement of the old and new hegemons. This can not only improve the excitement of the game, increase the income of the league, but also avoid the accusations of "black whistle" and "game manipulation". After all, it is backed by the president's "5% misjudgment rate"! The league's regulation policy only increases the probability that the Spurs will fail to defend their title, but if the Spurs really have the strength and luck to surpass the Mavericks, then the league is helpless. The once bull dynasty is a legend that the league can't help but admire. As a result, the mystery of last year's playoffs between the Rockets and Mavericks was solved. In short, everything depends on strength. There is no need for China fans to argue endlessly about the hidden rules of Americans. Since they all acquiesced, what are we doing? Let's enjoy the fun of "sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight"! The second unspoken rule: tilt to the star, tilt to the home court, tilt to the big market, but also have appropriate compensation for the weak team. Analysis: Since the purpose of hidden rules is to pursue the maximization of the overall commercial interests of the alliance, the three major tilt policies are very reasonable. There are many examples of the first two kinds of preferential policies, so I won't list them one by one. What needs to be explained here is that I have replaced "big city" with "big market", which shows the development trend of NBA in recent years. Generally speaking, big cities are basically equal to big markets, but in recent years, teams in some smaller cities have become big markets for TV ratings because of the participation of popular stars, so the number of national live broadcasts of these teams' games has increased sharply, such as Cleveland Cavaliers and Miami Heat. In the next two years, the All-Star Game will be held in Las Vegas and New Orleans, where the weak Hornets are located, which are the concrete manifestations of the NBA's big market tilt policy and compensation policy respectively. Although the teams that have won the championship in NBA history are mostly big city teams, the league will not deliberately push a big city team that has not won the championship to the championship throne. This is a relatively fair principle, which is also proved by the current situation of LA Lakers, Boston Celtics, new york Knicks and other giants. Rule 3: Respect tradition and strive for innovation. Analysis: NBA teams respect their own traditions, such as the appearance order of leading stars, the retirement ceremony of star jerseys, the selection criteria of captains, locker room culture and so on. But innovation is also indispensable, such as wearing retro jerseys to participate in the competition, updating the team logo and jersey color. These measures can not only cultivate more die-hard fans, but also enhance the cohesion of the team. In recent years, the styles of NBA teams are diversified, including Miami Heat and Houston Rockets, Phoenix Suns and Dallas Mavericks built around fast-break tactics, and Detroit Pistons, which pay attention to overall cooperation and uniqueness. These are all to enhance the appreciation of the game, and then increase the market share of the league. The above is my initial understanding of NBA unspoken rules, and omissions are inevitable. Maybe it will enlighten you after reading it.
