Adam Silver 'on the fence' about intentional fouling rule change
Intentionally fouling away from the ball is once again a controversial topic in
the NBA. Coaches look for every edge they can get and the strategy is legal, at
least for now. NBA commissioner Adam Silver said the competition committee will
have "full-throated conversations" about changing the rule when they meet in
June, according to ESPN's Tim McMahon.
故意犯规再度在NBA成为争议性的话题。教练们在规则边缘寻找各种可能的合法策略，至
少现在是如此。根据ESPN记者Tim McMahon的说法，NBA总裁Adam Silver表示，NBA赛事委
员会将在六月对此有一些会谈。
Silver is "on the fence" on the issue, saying "my thought used to be that we
should definitely change the rule, and then having sat through several general
managers meetings, competition meetings and having heard from some of the game'
s very best, the view is the players should hit their free throws. That's
changed my view a little bit."
Silver对此议题表达中立，说道：“之前我认为规则一定要改，但在我和几位球队总经理
以及赛事委员会开过会，并且听到有人说球员就该把球罚进的的观点后，我便不再那么坚
持我以前的观念了。”
A change to the rules could involve giving free throws and possession to the
team that gets fouled away from the ball. Other options include allowing the
possibility to turn down free throws or the ability to choose who takes them.
No solution would be perfect and Silver made it a point of saying the league
is "very conservative when it comes to changing the rules of the game."
这个规则的改变涉及将罚球以及球权给被非持球犯规的队伍。其他选项包含可以拒绝罚球
或是找其他球员来罚球。没有一个方式是完美的，Silver强调联盟“对于改变比赛规则是
非常保守的。”
The fact that it's not a widespread problem should be cause for caution before
making any decisions. There are not a lot of rotation players who are bad
enough free-throw shooters for the strategy to be worthwhile. The Spurs have
used the tactic often on DeAndre Jordan to mixed results, but not many other
teams have employed it consistently in the postseason. The Mavericks have
intentionally fouled on occasion and the Pelicans tried it out on Andrew Bogut,
but the list ends there.
事实上，由于这并非是个普遍的问题，所以造成联盟在做出任何决定前会非常谨慎。在经
常上场的球员中并没有很多球员的罚球是烂到值得使用骇客战术的。马刺经常对快艇的
DeAnder Jordan使用骇客战术，但并没有多少球队会在季后赛经常使用。小牛有时会使用
，而鹈鹕也尝试对勇士的Andrew Bogut使用骇客战术，但结果显而易见。
The biggest reason for change has little to do with the integrity of the game.
Intentional fouling really hurts the entertainment value of the NBA's product.
It makes games longer and, except for the occasional terrible miss that
warrants a chuckle, more boring. Whether that's enough to warrant a rule change
or not will be decided in June, so at least for the next couple of months, the
debate will continue to rage on every time a poor foul shooter is sent to the
line.
需要改变最大的原因和维持比赛的公正性并没有太大的关系。最主要原因是故意犯规会破
坏NBA的娱乐价值，让比赛变得更冗长，除了偶尔糟糕的罚丢能够搏君一笑，故意犯规带来
的是更多的无趣。无论这是不是正当的理由，规则是否改变在六月才会拍板定案，所以至
少在这几个月，每当有罚球超烂的球员被送上罚球线，关于故意犯规规则的争论依然会继
续延烧。
