What are the hidden rules of NBA?

As the saying goes, there is no Fiona Fang without rules. In the NBA, officials have made many rules to restrain players, even teams and referees. But many times, a country's laws are not perfect, and it needs a process of continuous exploration and improvement, not to mention the commercial sports league such as NBA. Therefore, where these league rules can't be bound, some hidden rules have gradually formed, which not only players need to abide by, but even team owners are no exception.

1, don't invite blacks to eat watermelon.

In China, watermelon is an essential fruit in summer, which is not only delicious, but also plays a role in relieving summer heat. However, in the NBA, this word must not appear. You know, watermelon was one of the prizes that white people gave to black slaves during the American Civil War. Although slavery was abolished later, this period of history has become the eternal pain of black American players, and the word watermelon has also become a taboo in NBA, so don't mention watermelon, otherwise it will be black.

You can't just enter the dressing room.

During the NBA game, the locker room belongs to the player's private territory. In the dressing room, players can discuss tactics and deal with things that cannot be known to the outside world. Therefore, during the game, no outsiders can enter the players' locker room without the permission of the players, even the team owner is no exception, even if the relationship is good.

3. body double on both sides of garbage time.

After the game enters garbage time, if the coach of the backward team thinks that the team is hopeless, he will choose to use the opportunity of dead ball to replace the substitute player, which is equivalent to a behavior of giving up in disguise, and the leader will replace the substitute in the next dead ball stage, which is also a respect for the opponent. Of course, some people don't follow this unspoken rule. For example, the fight in Madison Garden was because Nuggets coach george karl still used the main force to fight after the opponent replaced all the main forces, which eventually led to the opponent's mentality.

4. Novice service veteran.

In the first season of players entering the league, no matter who you are, you are the top pick and the core of the future team, you need to serve the veteran of the team in the first season, otherwise you may be squeezed out by all the players in the team. For example, Yao Ming used to tie Cato's shoelaces, and James also bought breakfast for the team's veterans and ran across the legs to carry bags. It can be said that this is a process that a rookie must go through to gain a foothold in the NBA.

The leading party will not fight for the final attack.

This unspoken rule is not only observed by the NBA league, but also in the international arena. That is, if there is a big gap between the two sides in the game and the last attack belongs to the leading side, then the players of the leading side basically stand there after the half-time and wait for the attack time to run out, and will not choose to attack, which is also out of respect for their opponents. However, in the NBA, some players do violate this rule, such as Stephenson, and it is precisely because of his behavior that they almost.

6, the alliance three big whistle

This is not thunder, but refers to the three unrecognized ways of blowing penalty in the league, namely, home whistle, star whistle and rookie whistle. Although NBA officials strongly deny that there is such a biased penalty in the game, everyone with insight knows that there is always a biased penalty. As the name implies, the star whistle tends to favor the star players in the process of blowing penalty kicks. After all, fans buy tickets to watch these stars play football, and the home whistle is also the embodiment of home advantage. When the referee blows a penalty, he will favor the players who play at home. You know, this is someone else's territory, and the fans support the home team. How much should the home team be given? As for the rookie whistle, it means that rookie players often get some special treatment in the game, which is equivalent to the referee giving the rookie a sentence? Welcome to NBA? .

7. Spam does not involve family members.

In the NBA, players not only start playing ball games, but also exchange rubbish with each other. For example, larry bird, Buckley, Jordan and Peyton are all masters of rubbish. After all, if garbage words are used well, they can not only hit the morale of opponents, but sometimes even make opponents' mentality unbalanced and produce unexpected results. However, there is also a hidden rule that junk words cannot involve the defects of family members and opponents.

8. Don't touch anything in the players' locker room.

As mentioned above, the dressing room is the private territory of the team and the dressing room is the private territory of the players. Without the owner's permission, even the team owner and the locker room leader can't touch the players' personal belongings casually, even if they are sitting in the players' chairs. Once, a reporter waited for the players to wash in the locker room after the game, so he sat in a player's chair. Unfortunately, the player just came out to see this scene and directly refused the reporter's interview. The rest of the team.

9, the conflict must be on.

In the game, you may often see such a scene, that is, when there is a conflict between two players, all the players on the field, whether they like it or not, almost rush over at the first time, because this is also a hidden rule, which can not only protect teammates, but also reflect the unity of the team. Don't say that American players must abide by it, even Yao Ming is no exception. After all, if you don't play, you will be accused by the media and the outside world. If it is serious, you will even be criticized by the team.

10, a verbal commitment is a contract.

In the off-season of NBA, in order to strengthen their own strength, teams often start to contact target players before the free market is opened. If both sides of the negotiation are satisfied, the player will give a verbal promise and wait until the free market opens to complete the signing. Most players will abide by this unspoken rule after giving verbal promises, but some players are exceptions, such as Jordan Jr. and marcus morris in 19 offseason, which is why they are changing.
