Regular season ranking
After the NBA regular season, the top eight teams in the East and West will advance to the playoffs. These teams will be ranked according to the proportion of wins and losses in the regular season, and the team with the most wins will be ranked the highest.
Division Champion
The top three teams in each division (east and west) will be called division champions. These teams will win the title of division champion according to their regular season results, and get a higher ranking in the playoffs.
Wild card promotion
In addition to the division champion, there are two wild card seats in each division. These two seats will be contested by teams ranking fourth and fifth in the regular season. This means that even if the team does not become a division champion, it still has a chance to advance to the playoffs through wild cards.
Single elimination competition system
Once the playoffs begin, the single elimination system is adopted. This means that every series is a game after game until a team wins. Each series will adopt the best of seven system, which means that the first team to win four games will advance to the next round.

Championship contest
The ultimate goal of the playoffs is to fight for the championship. When the Eastern and Western champion teams decide, they will go to the finals. The finals will adopt the best of seven system. The first team to win four games will become the NBA championship.
