As the Lakers defeated the Pacers to win the inaugural NBA Midseason Championship, they became the biggest winners. The Lakers have won all four games in the group stage, eliminated the Suns in the 1 4 finals, defeated the Pelicans by 44 points in the semifinals, and defeated the Pacers in the finals to win the championship. The Pacers suffered their first half-season defeat and finished runners-up.
According to the rules, the prize money for the mid-season tournament is very generous, and now with the ranking of the teams, the prize money distribution is officially announced:
Champion $500,000: Lakers.
Runner-up $200,000: Pacers.
$100,000 for 3-4 people: Pelicans, Bucks.
5-8 $50,000: Knicks, Celtics, Suns, Pelicans.
Each player manager on each team receives a corresponding bonus, with 75% for assistant coaches and 50% for players on two-way contracts.
The Lakers became the biggest winners, with $500,000 for each player and $250,000 for players on two-way contracts, which is a much-desired reward for some players to improve their lives. Of course, James and Brother Thick Eyebrows, the top-paid players, what they need more is the midseason champion and lead the team to become the champion team of the first midseason.
The Pacers finished runners-up, a surprising result, with the Pacers winning all of them until the finals, but in the finals, they lost to the experienced Lakers. In this way, at the bonus level, the Pacers can receive $200,000 for each player and coach under full contract.
The Pelicans and Bucks also traveled to Las Vegas but failed to advance to the finals, where they finished in the semifinals and received $100,000 in prize money. The Suns Green Army and other teams broke through from the group stage and advanced to the quarterfinals with a reward of $50,000.
I have to say that the format of this mid-season tournament is very good, and the rewards are huge, the players have a strong desire to fight, and the attention of the outside world is also very high, and they are successful.
