Live broadcast, October 29 -nbl has always been a big topic in the previous rounds of competitions with emphasis on delaying competition rules this season. American Media ESPN reporter Kane Pitman has made a follow-up report on this recently.
In the match between bullets and eagles on monday night, the first and second sections were punished four times for delaying the match in a short period of time due to various reasons. A large number of players and fans criticized this. A NBL spokesman said that the referee and the coach communicated every week to try to improve the rule. This is not a new rule. The referee just controls procrastination as much as possible. This will take a while.
ESPN got an explanation of the rules of delaying the game sent to NBL club after the first round of the game, as follows:
To ensure that the broadcast can be carried out on time, players need to return to the field as soon as possible after the suspension. Such an example appeared in the first round of the game. After the suspension was over, the players left the bench and continued to discuss on the court for a long time, thus causing the game to be delayed. We need to limit these behaviors of delaying the game and start the game again as soon as possible. The referee will actively communicate and ask the players to return to the field. If unnecessary delay occurs during the return to the field, the referee will give a delay warning. If the player shoots after the whistle without shooting, the referee will delay the match with a penalty. Such behavior will put the game on hold and cannot start again as soon as possible.
Several players of NBL commented on Monday’s match. 36 foreign aid Cleveland said that nothing could delay the match more than the referee’s delay. Reporter Kane Pitman also said that NBL’s rules of delaying the game are actually delaying the game.
“Monday’s game was particularly chaotic. Everyone has a problem with being punished for delaying the game, but from our point of view, we are trying to calibrate what we can control. We are not trying to punish every time we delay the competition, which is to determine whether it is over-calibrated.” The NBL spokesman said, “We think we are on the right path, but we will continue to monitor this rule and help the game go smoothly. This is the key point and we will adjust it as needed.”
