下面这条消息吸引了我的目光：
“中距离已正式消亡。看看这张公牛队在2025年12月21日的投篮分布图。他们整场比赛没有一次中距离跳投出手。在油漆区和三分线之间，完全是一片空白。这并非偶然，而是一种刻意的进攻选择。”
不知道你们怎么想，反正我第一时间就去查了比分，结果没错，芝加哥公牛队确实用这套比赛计划赢了球。他们以152-150击败了亚特兰大老鹰队。分差虽然不大，但他们轰下了152分的高分。
我得大胆地说一句，即便这是既定战术，但整场比赛竟然没有出现哪怕一次意外的中距离出手——无论是在24秒进攻时间行将结束时的仓促一投，还是由大空位球员的即兴选择——这都堪称不可思议。球员们的场上站位和跑动必须经过精心设计，才能让中距离这个选项根本无从谈起。
我们早就清楚，如今的比赛已经演变成了三分球大赛。随着投篮技术的演进以及联盟为保护投手而调整犯规吹罚尺度，这一趋势似乎已不可避免，甚至让人不禁要问，这一天为何没有来得更早一些。
显然，中距离投篮仍有其用武之地，还是说，既然现在已经有球队开始刻意将其从自己的武器库中移除，它会就此被进一步边缘化？

Open Thread: Chicago Bulls eliminate midrange shots from their strategy
This caught my eye:
“The midrange is officially extinct. Look at this Bulls shot chart from Dec 21, 2025. They took 0 midrange jumpers the entire game. there is absolutely nothing between the paint and the three-point line. This wasn’t random variance. It was a deliberate offensive choice.”
I don’t know about you, but the first thing I did was check the score and , yes, the Chicago Bulls won using this game plan. They beat the Atlanta Hawks 152-150. It wasn’t a huge margin, but they did score 152 points, which is high.
I’m going to go out on a limb here and say even if it was the plan, it’s pretty amazing that there wasn’t an accidental midrange taken at the expiration of a 24-second clock or by a wide open shooter. The positioning and movement had to be such that it wasn’t even an option.
We’ve known for some time that the game has moved into three-point shooting contests. With the evolution of the shot and the alterations in calling fouls to protect the shooter, this almost seems inevitable to the point of wondering how we didn’t arrive here sooner.
There is obviously still room for a midrange, or will it phase itself out even more now that some teams are purposely eliminating it from their shot selection?
