Nba tank隊什么意思

"Tank team" or "tanking" in the context of the NBA (National Basketball Association) refers to a strategy where a team intentionally performs poorly in order to secure a higher draft pick in the NBA Draft. The NBA Draft is an annual event where teams can select new players who have never played in the NBA before, often including top college players and international prospects.

The idea behind tanking is that by having a worse record, a team will have a better chance at getting one of the top picks in the draft, which are typically the most talented and promising young players. The NBA Draft uses a lottery system to determine the order of the first round picks, with the teams that had the worst records having a better chance at getting the top picks.

Tanking is a controversial strategy, as it goes against the competitive spirit of sports and can be frustrating for fans who want to see their team win. It can also have negative effects on the team's players and coaches, who may feel pressure to lose games or be benched in order to improve the team's draft position.

The NBA has taken steps in recent years to discourage tanking, such as adjusting the lottery odds to make it less advantageous for the very worst teams, but the strategy still occasionally comes into play in the league.
