The new NBA season has begun, and the NBA league is still well arranged for the first three days of the schedule.
The first day was 2 matches:
Nuggets vs Lakers, repeat of last season's Western Conference finals, new king Jokic vs old king James.
Suns vs Warriors, Durant and Paul face their old clubs separately.
The next day was a lot of games.
The third day is also 2 games, in addition to the Lakers vs Suns, James vs Durant, it is the Bucks vs 76ers, yes, Lillard's debut in the Bucks was scheduled for the third day.
In this way, the highlights of the 3 days are full.
Of course, the new season is just beginning, and it's a bit premature to discuss rankings at this time, so it's better to take this opportunity to talk about NBA regular season ranking rules.
For example, after today's game, the Nuggets defeated the Lakers, the Suns defeated the Warriors, and the Nuggets were No. 1 and the Suns No. 2. What is the Lakers 1st from the bottom and the Warriors 2nd from the bottom?
First of all, the regular season ranking, the first basis, is the winning percentage, whoever has the highest winning rate, who ranks high.
For example, if the Warriors are 73-9 and the Bulls are 72-10, then the Warriors are ahead of the Bulls. But please note that the comparison is the winning percentage, not the difference in wins, such as the Warriors 12-3, the Lakers 13-4, although the difference between the two sides is 0, but look at the winning percentage, the Warriors are higher, and the Warriors should be ranked ahead of the Lakers.
Of course, when the total number of matches is the same, the difference in wins can also replace the winning percentage.
Then comes the same win rate.
1. Both teams have the same winning percentage.
Then follow the following order, in turn, until the high and low are separated.
(1) Ranked high with better results against each other. For example, the Lakers 2-1 Warriors, then the Lakers ranked high.
(2) If one side is the division champion, the division champion is ranked first, and if both parties are or neither, enter (3). For example, the Suns are the Pacific Division champions, and the Spurs are not the Southwest Division champions, so Taiping ranks high.
(3) If both sides are in the same division, such as the Lakers and Suns are both Pacific divisions, then the top of the division with a high winning percentage, if not a division, enter (4).
(4) Have the highest winning percentage in the respective league. For example, if it is the Lakers and the Suns ratio, it is to compare the Lakers and the Suns against Western teams, and if it is the Lakers and Raptors ratio, it is to compare the Lakers' win rate in the West and the Raptors' win rate in the East.
(5) Playing against the other top eight teams in the league to which they belong has a high winning percentage. Similarly, if it's the Lakers vs. the Suns, it's better than their winning percentage with the top 8 teams, and if it's the Lakers vs. the Raptors, it's better than the Lakers' top-8 win rate with the West and the Raptors vs. the top-8 in the East.
(6) Playing against the top eight teams in another league with a high winning percentage. This is the opposite of (5).
(7) Compare the difference in total gains and losses, and rank high at the top.
(8) Draw lots to decide.
At present, there is no lottery, basically, up to (4), you can distinguish the high and low.
Going back to today's ranking, Nuggets and Suns, with the same win rate, continue the comparison:
(1) 0-0 mutual record; (2) are all division champions; (3) Not in 1 division; (4) the same win percentage against Western teams; (5) The winning percentage against the top 8 teams in the West is the same; (6) the same winning percentage as the top 8 in the East; So go into (7), compare the difference between gains and losses, the Nuggets is +12, the Sun is +4, so the Nuggets are 1st, and the Suns are 2nd.
The same is true, the Warriors are 14th, and the Lakers are 15th.
2. Multiple teams have the same winning percentage.
(1) The division champion ranks high. (2) Superior mutual record. (3)-(8) Same as the same situation for both teams.
The difference is that the weight of the division champion is more important.
THIS IS THE RANKING RULE OF THE NBA REGULAR SEASON, AFTER TOMORROW'S GAME, YOU CAN ACTUALLY TRY TO RANK, AND THROUGH THE SETTING OF THE FORMULA, YOU CAN ALSO DO AUTOMATIC RANKING IN THE EXCEL TABLE, AS FOR PROGRAMMING RANKING, IT IS EVEN SIMPLER.
