Restore the 10-minute single-quarter game system + resume the upgrade and relegation! Finally, I know that learning the NBA is useless

It is reported that the CBA League is planning to implement four quarters in the new season, with a 10-minute competition system in a single quarter, with one of the purposes being to align with FIBA. As we all know, the basketball leagues that can be seen online are basically 10 minutes and single-quarter games except the NBA.

12 minutes in a single quarter have the benefits of 12 minutes, which will increase the overall viewing time for fans and give more opportunities for young people at the end of the rotation to get exercise. Previous rumors were also to allow the players of the national team to have the same competition system in the league and in the national team, so it is still necessary to change the competition system to the 10-minute competition system.

At the same time, in addition to the modification of the game time, the league is also likely to resume the promotion and relegation mechanism. Everyone knows that CBA is also difficult to survive and it is difficult to make a lot of investment. Most teams behind the league don’t have much motivation. In addition to improving the enthusiasm of each team, it is more important to let NBL teams see hope.

As a lower-level league, the NBL has encountered much more practical problems than the CBA. Investors have spent so much money and cannot get any returns in business. In fact, they just hope to use the NBL as a springboard to eventually join the CBA and achieve the improvement of the team's value.

And the economy has not been very good over the years, investors have no money, and many NBLs can't hold on. The league itself is useless, and there is no hope for entering the CBA, so many teams are on the verge of disbanding. And now this news has hope for all NBL teams.

CBA canceled its promotion and relegation in 2005. I don’t know whether it is imitating the NBA. However, except for the small-scale football league that cannot be upgraded and relegated, all leagues need to rely on promotion and relegation to stimulate, otherwise they will only enter the CBA in the end, and those who cannot enter the CBA want to give up.
