At the meeting, Secretary-General Ballman emphatically explained the three major changes of the rules. First, the three-point line has expanded from the current 6.25m to 6.75m, but it is still 0.5m shorter than the NBA's 7.25m.. Even with this 0.5-meter extension, there is no small difference within FIBA. Today, FIBA held a meeting in Beijing. At the meeting, there were great differences on the number of specific adjustments. Some people even think that it will directly become the NBA three-point line, but conservatives hope to keep it unchanged. Finally, everyone gave in to each other and the three-point line was extended by 0.5 meters. "The distance difference between the international competition and the NBA three-point line has narrowed. As for the reason, it is too easy for players to score through three points in international competitions, and often everyone relies on three points. " Ballman explained.
Second, the restricted area has expanded, from the current trapezoid to a rectangle. "Now the information obtained by reporters has drawn the appearance of the future restricted area. As for the implementation, it should be at the time of the 20 12 London Olympic Games. " The restricted area has changed from trapezoid to rectangle, which also shows that FIBA is moving closer to NBA. As we all know, the NBA's current forbidden area is rectangular, with the aim of increasing the degree of insider confrontation, which is also true from FIBA's concept.
Third, add a reasonable collision zone. There is no reasonable collision zone in the international arena, but there is one in the NBA. "This will reduce the chances of players being fouled." Ballman said.
Although FIBA has made great changes in the rules, it is very difficult to make changes in more than 0/00 countries all over the world at the same time. The economic development level of more than 100 countries affiliated to FIBA varies greatly, and the basketball level is even worse than that of Wan Li. It is quite easy to change these rules in the NBA. The stadiums are all owned by the team. The NBA can update the stadium within 24 hours, but FIBA is impossible. Many stadiums are owned by the government, so FIBA needs to apply to all levels.
