NBA games are divided into Summer League, Preseason, Regular Season, Playoffs, and Finals. There is no specific home and away in the preseason, the regular season is a home-and-away system, and the playoffs and finals are a best-of-seven elimination system.

1. Preseason.

The NBA preseason is a warm-up game for each team before the start of the NBA regular season, because after the end of each season, each team has considerable changes in the lineup, in order to let the teams run in the lineup, familiarize themselves with the playing style of their respective teams, determine the lineup of each team in the new season, and also enhance the communication between players and coaches, so before the start of each season, the NBA holds a number of preseason games, so that they can be in a better state to devote themselves to the long regular season games.

2. Regular season.

The regular season is a round-robin tournament between the 30 NBA teams from late October to mid-April of the following year, with each team playing 82 games and 30 teams playing a total of 1,230 games. At the end of the regular season, the top eight teams in the Eastern and Western Conferences with regular season records enter the playoffs to compete for the championship. The 2018-19 regular season kicked off on October 17, Beijing time.

3. All-Star Game.

As a traditional basketball feast, the NBA All-Star Weekend has held 53 meetings in 2018. The idea was originally proposed by Harck Cohen, then head of public relations at NBA headquarters, and the idea originated from the All-Star Game of Major League Baseball, which was naturally intended to further the NBA.

4. Playoffs.

The NBA playoffs refer to the games in which the NBA league ranks the top eight in the East and the West according to the NBA league ranking rules after the NBA regular season in mid-April every year, according to the 82 regular season records of each team, and the final winner wins the NBA championship.
