NBA 選秀 （NBA Draft）
The NBA Draft is an annual North American event in which the National Basketball Association's (NBA) thirty teams (29 in the United States and one in Toronto, Canada) can select players who wish to join the league. NBA選秀是一年一度的NBA盛會，在選秀大會上，30支NBA球隊(duì)都可以挑選自己需要的新球員，這些球員通常都是來自美國國內(nèi)的各所大學(xué)，但近年來越來越多的國際球員和高中畢業(yè)生參加了選秀。
選秀抽簽
NBA從1985年開始實(shí)行選秀抽簽，每年季后賽激戰(zhàn)正酣的時候，NBA會召集未能進(jìn)入季后賽的球隊(duì)舉行抽簽儀式，來決定未來頭三號新秀權(quán)的歸屬。抽簽儀式中，主持人會拿出編號為1-14號的14個乒乓球，放在一個容器中，從14個球中隨意抽出4個球，不計數(shù)字的先后順序，一共可以產(chǎn)生1001種可能的組合，而去掉這個11-12-13-14組合，正好還剩下1000種。抽簽前，沒有獲得季后賽資格的各隊(duì)已經(jīng)依照常規(guī)賽戰(zhàn)績倒序排名，得到與之相應(yīng)的贏取狀元簽的組合數(shù)(機(jī)率)。比如今年有14支球隊(duì)沒有進(jìn)入季后賽，這14支球隊(duì)中戰(zhàn)績最差的老鷹隊(duì)就得到250種組合，即有25%的機(jī)會贏得狀元簽，戰(zhàn)績第二差的黃蜂隊(duì)得到199種，即19.9%的幾率，依此累推，14支球隊(duì)中戰(zhàn)績最好的森林狼，則只有5種組合，即0.5%的機(jī)會贏得狀元簽。
然后像搖獎一樣搖出四個球，誕生一組由4個數(shù)字構(gòu)成的結(jié)果，哪個球隊(duì)結(jié)果中包含這一種，就擁有了頭號選秀權(quán)。然后四個球被放回桶里，重復(fù)上述過程兩次，第二號和第三號選秀權(quán)也就名花有主(注：若搖出被忽略的結(jié)果，則無效，球被放回并重復(fù)程序)。此后首輪剩余的4-30號選秀簽位和第二輪的選秀簽位，則按照常規(guī)賽的成績倒序決定，戰(zhàn)績越差，選秀順位越高。
The NBA Draft Lottery is an annual event held by the National Basketball Association (NBA) to determine the order of the NBA Draft for that year. The teams that did not make the playoffs compete in a weighted lottery, in which teams with least amount of wins have a greater chance at selecting higher in the draft.
The lottery is normally held during the fourth week of May.

To determine the winner, fourteen ping pong balls numbered 1-14 are placed in a standard lottery machine and four balls are randomly selected from the lot. Just as in most traditional lotteries, the order in which the numbers are drawn is not important. That is, 1-2-3-4 is considered to be the same as 4-3-2-1. So although there is a total of 24 orders in which the balls numbered 1-2-3-4 can be picked, they are all treated as the same outcome. In doing this, the permutation of 4 balls from 14 becomes the combination of 4 balls from 14. That is, the total of 24,024 (14! / 10!, or 14x13x12x11) possible permutations is reduced by a factor of 24, to 1,001 combinations. Of these, 1 outcome is disregarded and 1,000 outcomes are distributed among the 14 non-playoff NBA teams. The combination 11-12-13-14 (in any order that those numbers are drawn) is not assigned and it is ignored if drawn; this has never occurred in practice.
In the event a lottery pick is traded to another team, the record of the original team (whose pick it was before the trade) still matters in determining eligibility for the lottery, and assignment of chances.
As of 2005, with 30 NBA teams, 16 qualify for the playoffs and the remaining 14 teams are entered in the draft lottery. These 14 teams are ranked in reverse order of their regular season record and are assigned the following number of chances:
250 combinations, 25% chance of receiving the #1 pick
199 combinations, 19.9% chance
156 combinations, 15.6% chance
119 combinations, 11.9% chance
88 combinations, 8.8% chance
63 combinations, 6.3% chance
43 combinations, 4.3% chance
28 combinations, 2.8% chance
17 combinations, 1.7% chance
11 combinations, 1.1% chance
8 combinations, 0.8% chance
7 combinations, 0.7% chance
6 combinations, 0.6% chance
5 combinations, 0.5% chance
In the event that teams finish with the same record, each tied team receives the average of the total number of combinations for the positions that they occupy. In 2007, the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Portland Trail Blazers tied for sixth worst record. The average of the 6th and 7th positions in the lottery was taken, resulting in each team getting 53 combinations (the average of 63 and 43). Should the average number not be an integer, a coin flip is then used to determine which team or teams receive the extra combination(s).
影片對白The Rockets immediately made it clear that they would take 7'6'' Yao Ming from China. At 22 years old Yao Ming was the star of the Chinese national team and a huge gamble for the Rockets.
