NBA 观察 - 隐藏的宝藏：新规则将提升得分
如果你好奇…
一些人对 NBA 为何认为下赛季得分会上升感到疑惑，因为三分线被移到了更远的位置。
联盟专家认为，此举将分散防守，扩大突破和传球路线，并且让包夹内线球员变得更加困难。
更少的球员能够从这个距离命中投篮，这将使三分球不再成为一些球队的常规进攻手段，并将更多地强调过渡进攻和半场战术中的移动。
为了进一步提高得分，联盟投票决定允许在球侧使用区域防守。
这项提案的目标是消除内线球员连续运球数秒，等待包夹的现象。
因此，第二名防守球员不再需要下沉并形成真正的硬包夹。他可以假装包夹，在自己的外线防守对象和内线球员之间来回晃动，并且不会被判犯规防守。
理论上，这项新规则应该会促进更快的决策，更多的球的移动，更多的切入，更少的站着不动，以及减少观察内线球员掌控节奏。
关于禁止球员在球出界时叫暂停的提案影响不大。但如果丹尼斯·罗德曼(Dennis Rodman)下赛季还会打球——这只是一个巨大的假设——他可能会抱怨几句。
丹尼斯在出界时总是会挥舞手臂示意叫暂停。毫无疑问，他会坚持认为这项新规定应该被称为“罗德曼规则”。
这些新规则还有待 NBA 管理委员会批准。
如今，曾经被视为幸运的事情，现在却几乎被认为是侮辱。
一些观察人士询问了丹佛新任主教练比尔·汉兹利克(Bill Hanzlik)——这位从未担任过主教练的人——关于他签署的合同。他们想知道他是否应该要求更高的待遇，或者他是否会后悔签下这样的合同。
这份合同规定比尔下赛季将获得 750,000 美元，然后分别获得 850,000 美元和 950,000 美元。
我认为比尔会没事的。我也认为，比尔应该每天跪下来感谢 NBA 神灵，感谢那些为帕特·莱利(Pat Riley)、拉里·布朗(Larry Brown)和拉里·伯德(Larry Bird)等球员支付数百万美元的老板们。市场成熟了。
顺便说一下，汉兹利克遵循了第一天承诺的惯例：掘金队将跑起来，具有竞争力，并且强调防守。
我还在等待一个新人宣称他的球员将慢悠悠地上场，拒绝防守，并且对任何程度的竞争都表现出蔑视。
仅仅是为了带来震惊的效果。
关于坎普的传闻：关于肖恩·坎普(Shawn Kemp)下赛季将身穿哪支球队的球衣有很多传闻。最热门的传闻是，与新泽西篮网队进行一笔多球员交易，交易对象包括篮网队的杰森·威廉姆斯(Jayson Williams)、克里斯·盖特林(Chris Gatling)和吉姆·杰克逊(Jim Jackson)。
我不知道，但也许西雅图超音速队会看看圣安东尼奥马刺队，并提出一个涉及坎普和蒂姆·邓肯(Tim Duncan)的交易方案。
西雅图会这么做吗？我认为不会。圣安东尼奥会接受吗？也许不会，但他们应该接受，假设马刺队能够解决坎普关于薪资的担忧，延长他的合同，让他下赛季获得 330 万美元，但最后一年 (2002-2003) 将获得 1460 万美元的丰厚薪资。
莱利质疑：迈阿密热火队主教练帕特·莱利指出，NBC 在芝加哥东部决赛第五场比赛前录制球队队长会面视频，这真是太奇怪了。
当时，迈克尔·乔丹(Michael Jordan)公开拒绝与阿隆佐·莫宁(Alonzo Mourning)握手。
“我认为这是一个安排，”莱利说。“我从未见过 NBC 在比赛开始前 7 分钟展示队长会面视频。他们为什么要在那里架设摄像机？”
因此，也许乔丹向他的朋友、NBC 边线记者艾哈迈德·拉沙德(Ahmad Rashad)透露了即将发生的冷遇。乔丹是决定“这是个人恩怨”的那个人，是他与热火队之间的恩怨。
“迈克尔，我是在假设，说，‘你想看点什么吗？我给你看点东西，’”莱利说。“这一切都是‘这是个人恩怨’的一部分。耐克现在要推出‘这是个人恩怨’的口号吗？你可以肯定耐克会说这是个人恩怨。这会出现在 T 恤上。”

Around the NBA - Hidden trey-sures: New rules should inflate scoring
In case you were wondering…
A few faces have been twisted in curiosity over why the NBA believes scoring will go up next season because the three-point line is being moved farther back.
Well, the league gurus figure the move will spread the defense, widen those driving and passing lanes, and make it still more difficult to double-down on post players.
Fewer players will be able to nail the shot from that distance, taking the trey out of some teams’ regular offense and putting more emphasis on transition and movement in half-court schemes.
Adding to the push for more scoring is the vote to allow zone defense on the strong (ball) side of the court.
The goal of this proposal is the elimination of post-up players dribbling the ball for seconds on end, waiting for the double-team to arrive.
As a result, the second defender would no longer have to come down and set up in a real, hard double. He can fake the double, rock back and forth midway between his perimeter offensive man and the post man and not be called for an illegal defense.
In theory, the new rule should promote quicker decision-making, more ball movement, more cutting, less standing around and watching post players dictate the pace.
The proposed rule to prohibit players from calling timeout when they are falling out of bounds with the ball shouldn’t have much affect. But Dennis Rodman might complain a bit, assuming he’ll be playing next season - which is a huge assumption.
Dennis made a big deal out of gesturing for the timeout while sailing out of bounds. No doubt he’ll insist the new decree be called the “Rodman rule.”
The new rules still have to be approved by the NBA Board of Governors.
It’s come to this: What once would have been considered a fortune now is looked upon as almost insulting.
Some observers queried new Denver coach Bill Hanzlik, a fellow who has yet to stride any sideline as head man, about the contract he signed. They wondered if he should have held out for more or if he’ll regret signing such a deal.
The package calls for Bill to get $750,000 next season, then $850,000 and $950,000.
Methinks Bill will survive. Methinks, too, that Bill should get down on his hands and knees daily and thank the NBA gods for the owners who shelled out the multimillions-plus for guys such as Pat Riley, Larry Brown and Larry Bird. Nothing like ripening the market.
By the way, Hanzlik followed the well-known formula of first-day promises: The Nuggets will run, be competitive and emphasize defense.
I’m still waiting for a new guy to bellow that his players will walk up the floor, refuse to play defense and show contempt for any degree of competitiveness whatsoever.
Just for the shock value.
Kemp stuff: There are plenty of rumors about which team’s uniform Shawn Kemp will wear next season. Heaviest seems to center around a multiplayer deal with New Jersey that would include the Nets’ Jayson Williams, Chris Gatling and Jim Jackson.
I don’t know, but maybe Seattle will look to San Antonio and come up with a package involving Kemp and Tim Duncan.
Would Seattle do it? I doubt it. Would San Antonio accept? Maybe not, but it should, assuming the Spurs could settle Kemp’s worries about money with an extension of the pact that pays him $3.3 million next season, but a cool $14.6 million for the final year, 2002-2003.
Riley wonders: Miami coach Pat Riley points out how curious it was that NBC taped the pregame meeting of team captains before Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals in Chicago.
That was when Michael Jordan made such a public display of refusing to shake hands with Alonzo Mourning.
“I think that was a setup,” Riley said. “I’ve never seen NBC show the captains’ meeting seven minutes before the tipoff. Why would they have the camera down there?”
So, maybe Jordan informed pal and NBC sideline reporter Ahmad Rashad about the impending snub. Jordan was the one who had decided “it’s personal” between him and the Heat.
“Michael, and I’m hypothesizing, said, ‘Want to see something? I’ll show you something,’” Riley said. “It’s all part of this ‘It’s personal’ thing. Is Nike now going to have ‘It’s personal’ now? You can be sure Nike will say it’s personal. It’s going to be on T- shirts.”
