Showdown, I'm the God of Basketball

Chapter 125 Allowing Hands
After the end of the game with the Clippers, the Lakers will have a day to adjust, and then they will usher in the next opponent at home.

—Phoenix Suns.

Day Two, November 11

"I've never seen a team with such a gorgeous offense in the NBA, I swear, never." On TNT's Barkley talk show, Kenny Smith said excitedly.

"Hey, Smith, I rarely see you boasting about a team like this. The Suns did play well, but the Lakers played well this season. Now the two teams are tied for the first place in the Western Conference. many problems."

Since O'Neal left the Lakers, Barkley has obviously no hostility towards this team, so he also helped the Lakers speak at this time.

"Hehe, before the start of the game, the Lakers did have a winning streak by relying on their so-called Death Five, but as the regular season progressed, they have exposed their lineup problems, losing to the Grizzlies and the Quick The team's race speaks for itself."

"Oh, so what do you think is the problem with the Lakers?"

"Insiders, they don't have a decent insider at all."

"Well, I admit that Chris Mim's strength is indeed not a very good center, and I heard that the management of the Lakers has put him on the shelf.

But the Suns seem to have given up the traditional inside and switched to center Stoudemire.

So the inside lines of the two teams are almost the same. "

"Don't be funny, the Suns have at least one backup center, Steven Hunter. He also broke the DePaul University block record in the NCAA, and his defensive strength is above the average level in the NBA."

In the Lakers training facility, Zhao Hao, who heard these conversations, couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Before the match even started, the media had already started all kinds of hype.

Especially Kenny Smith, do you have any problems with the Lakers?

When explaining the Lakers game before, it was fine to belittle the Lakers in various ways, but now he is still talking nonsense with his eyes open.

Steven Hunter's defense in the Suns' bench is good, but can he defend against Kobe, who is the fifth dead of the Lakers?

You must know that as long as the Lakers kill the five minors, Kobe will call the roll call.

A random pick-and-roll from the outside line pulled you out Steven Hunter, do you dare to defend Kobe alone!

However, Zhao Hao also found out that it was obvious that the conversation between Barkley and Kenny Smith was passed through at the beginning.

So you can't just blame Kenny Smith alone.

If Barkley's big mouth is good, then Zhao Hao will believe in ghosts.

These two people talk to each other, ask and answer, eager to stir up the enthusiasm of the players of the two teams, and then fight in the game.

However, what era is it now, and you still rely on fighting to win?
Isn't that what the New York and Pistons used to do?

Just when Zhao Hao thought so, a game that ended that day caused a major earthquake in the league!
With 45.9 seconds left in the game, concussion master Artest called a rude foul on Big Ben Wallace.

Artest, you are tough, but you have to divide people!
Why are you messing with that thick black stick of Big Ben Wallace!
Don't you know that his bench press strength has reached a terrifying 202 kilograms, and he can rank among the top ten in the entire history of the NBA.

Are you sure you can bear him beating down with a spindle?
Therefore, the picture at the scene is that Artest was slightly pushed by the enraged Da Ben, and then he was dumbfounded.
Is this guy so strong?

Then, Artest, who slid ten meters away, hurriedly left the battlefield of disputes under the cover of O'Neal, and finally even lay on the technical table, not daring to participate in this battle again.

Don't bother me, I just want to be quiet now.

As a result, Jing Jing didn't come, but a drink came.

So the biggest violence in NBA history happened.

It wasn't a battle between the Pacers players and the Pistons players, but between Artest, O'Neal and the Pistons fans.

Zhao Hao still clearly remembers having lingering fears when he saw this video in his previous life.

Especially after the battle on the technical stage, another battle in the player channel was simply shocking.

Little O'Neal, he is definitely a more ruthless person than Artest!

Although this incident has just happened, league chairman David Stern has not yet issued a verdict.

But as a latecomer, Zhao Hao already knew the extremely far-reaching impact this incident could bring.

No Handcheck is coming!
That's right, the rule that changed the league's offensive and defensive structure came.

The Handcheck rule, referred to as HC, originated from the international men's basketball team FIBA, but it has another name in the NBA, which allows the use of hands.

That's right, it's the one that allows you to use your hands.

Although as early as the 1997-98 season, the NBA first issued a decision on restricting Handcheck, but it did not have an immediate effect at that time.

Because, this period is still the time when Mr. Joe's previous generation played, and they are not used to the way of playing that does not allow their hands to be used.

Therefore, players from various teams in the league completely turned a deaf ear to this rule.

Until the 2000-01 season, the league once again issued a second decision to restrict Handcheck, strictly prohibiting defensive players from using their hands to go to the ball-handling attacker on the top frame.

The intensity of this reform is unprecedented. At the beginning of the season, it gave the league's defensive champions a head-on blow.

As a result, it directly led to a significant increase in the offensive efficiency of the outside ball holder's face-to-frame attack.

This also allowed those outside players in the league who were not very good offensively to suddenly raise their offensive level to a new level.

And players with excellent offensive ability, such as Iverson, Kobe, McGrady, Carter and other perimeter all-stars, also benefited, so they stood in a higher position in the league.

But just this is not enough.

In the 2004-05 season, that is, this season, the NBA once again restricted Handcheck, stipulating that the area outside the free throw line and its extension line is not allowed to actively use the forearm to touch any part of the body of the ball holder!

That's right, any part, not even the beard of the future foul king, can't be touched.

This is No Handcheck.

It's just that Zhao Hao is very clear that although the league has already released the No Handcheck rule this season, it is not strictly enforced.

After all, with the emergence of a new rule, in addition to players having to adapt, these referees also have to adapt slowly.

Therefore, from the beginning of the season to the present, the level of whistleblowing in the league has not changed much because of this rule.

But it's better now, because of the matter of Artest and Big Ben Wallace, Stern is determined to carry out this rule to the end, and there will be immediate results immediately.

It is good to use this to rectify the improper trend of the alliance, as well as some unhealthy tendencies.

Only when this rule appears, there will be no scenes of playing like fighting in the league.

Then, David Stern can rest assured and continue to work on the development of the NBA higher, faster and stronger.

　It's Monday, please send some recommended tickets.

　　muah.

　　Then, start to update on time tomorrow.
