Chapter 186: New rules

Before the start of the new season team training camp, NBA officials suddenly announced a day of rule changes.
"From the beginning of the new season, the three-point line has been re-adjusted from 6.75 meters back to 7.25 meters!.
The three-point line has changed back to the original 7.25 meters. Many three-point shooters and three-point enthusiasts are naturally very opposed to it.
Reggie Miller of the Pacers publicly expressed dissatisfaction. He said to the media:
"This is the league's deliberate change of rules for the Bulls and for Michael Jordan! It is to restrict everyone from shooting three-pointers. Because they are afraid that what the 76ers did this year will be repeated in next year's playoffs."
Richmond of the Kings is also very angry. He has been famous for so long by relying on three-pointers, and suddenly he moved my three-point line far away. Isn't this going to be done?
"Resolutely opposed! There must be an ulterior secret behind this! I ask the league players to vote!"
Glenn Rice also ridiculed publicly, "The league hopes to restrict some teams and restrict some individuals in this way. But, the beneficiaries behind this are too obvious? I firmly oppose it!"
The media quickly became very hot.
However, this rule was passed by an internal vote of the NBA. In other words, this is something decided by other team owners. It's useless for some players to disagree.
After everyone's discussion of the "three-point line return to 7.25 meters" rule change slowly faded, the NBA suddenly made a new move.
The NBA has introduced new rules! This time is not a change, but a new rule!
The alliance's new regulations draw an extra arc in the restricted area, so that a new area emerges, a reasonable collision zone!
"In a basketball court, the basket is a semicircle with the center of the basket as the center and a radius of 4 feet (1.2 meters). This area is called a reasonable collision zone."
The new rules also stipulate that standing within the arc, as long as the defensive player has physical contact with the offensive player, a defensive foul may be called.
Outside the line, the defensive player can stand in position in advance. If the offensive player physically touches the defensive player, the offensive player will be sentenced to collide.
In the reasonable collision zone, when the opponent is attacking, the defensive player will not be called for a foul if he jumps up vertically, and if he does not jump or moves his body, he will be called for a defensive foul if he takes off and causes contact.
This new rule also immediately caused heated discussion.
"This is a new rule for the league to encourage offense! A reasonable collision zone makes the defense of the team's penalty zone more difficult. The requirements for big defenders to guard the basket have become higher!"
"The league is encouraging everyone to attack the inside! This is good news for those small guards who are good at breaking through and have strong bodies! This is another new rule that will benefit the Chicagoans!"
"Is this going to report to the Bulls for the sixth championship? Can the other 28 teams play?"
The public opinion is...
...
In an office on the 15th floor of the Olympic Building on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, New York.
President David Stern began to test and teach assistants again.
"Duck Dan, what do you think of this?"
Duck eggs always think this is not easy. He only understood the name in the previous starmaking plan.
In the past, when a player is attacking in the penalty area, the opponent's center will inevitably be hit if he stays still. As long as the defensive side does not move, the referee will judge the offensive side to hit someone. In this way, as long as there is always a defensive player standing inside the basket, it is difficult for offensive players to make a beautiful layup or dunk.
The new rules are changed to prevent tall players from standing at the basket when defending. In this way, the opportunity for some people to show their strength is here!
"President, this trick is really clever! Not only has it encouraged the offense of the league, it has given Michael and others who are good at breakthroughs more offensive opportunities, but it has also given O'Neal a huge space to play. In the new season, the East sees Michael, the West Look at Shaq, if the two teams meet in the finals, the ratings will definitely go up."
"Hen~" Stern smiled rarely, "well said."
After a pause, the old man said again, "But, do you think the Lakers can make the Finals this year?"
can? still can not?
Duck eggs have also begun to analyze, and the companion is like a tiger, and the same is true for the president. The duck egg is very careful.
The tone of the old man just now has a rising tone, which is a bit of a rhetorical tone! Well, that means no.
"No! The Utah Jazz and Houston are still too good, the Lakers are too young."
"Can't?" Stern's eyes opened wide, staring straight at the duck egg.
Duck Dan immediately changed his words, "Yes! Must be able! The Lakers have the league's first center, O'Neal, Nick and Eddie are good, Kobe on the bench is also very promising. They will definitely be able to fight from the West!"
"Hen~" Stern suddenly put away those exaggerated expressions, and sneered a little, "Duck, try to figure out what I mean in the future. What I want to listen to is your thoughts. Remember, it's your thoughts and your actions. Assistant's thoughts!"
Duck Dan quickly lowered his head, "Chief, President, I see."
Stern waved his hand and the duck egg backed out.
"Is it too young?" David Stern muttered to himself and looked out the window, his eyes gradually becoming deeper.
...
Wachovia Center Arena, Philadelphia.
Li Nan tried a straight-arm shot, but there was still some instability, but it can already come in handy.
Nash on the edge was also absent-minded in shooting.
Li Nan also accidentally hit the ball on him.
"Steve, what do you think?"
Nash turned his head and suddenly became a little aggrieved.
"Lee, Coach Brown doesn't like me. I feel like I'm going to be traded."
"Deal? It should be impossible."
When Li Nan said this, he was a little uncertain.
With the use of Larry Brown, Nash's figure, although he has good passing and shooting abilities, defense is the core of Larry Brown!
"Huh? Why did you have this idea?"
"Lee, didn't I go to play in the team's summer league? But, every time I play a little bit. Every time the coach scolds me."
What are you scolding? It should be bad defense or something.
"No, Steve, Coach Brown scolded you for your own good. He wants you to improve, so he urges you."
Li Nan still tried to comfort him~EbookFREE.me~ Is that true? However, as far as I know, the 76ers seem to have signed a point guard named Snow in the summer. That guy is Payton's backup. The offense is not very good, but the defense is very good. "
Nash's analysis is quite in place.
Li Nan knew he was very smart, so he didn't say much. I can only pat his shoulder, "Steve, the NBA is a business field. You have to be strong! There is still a long way to go. However, no matter where you are, I will support you. Come on!"
"Well, Lee, you will always be my brother!"
High-five hard, and then hit his chest, Nash walked to other teammates. It's like saying goodbye to the past.
"Oh~" Li Nan also sighed.
Once the emperor and the courtier.
Just as Li Nan sighed, the teammates in the training ground all exclaimed.
"Wow~ so cool!"
