Anthony Edwards on eliminating the step on his free throw (spoiler it’s Mark
Cuban’s fault)
“Some famous guy went on Instagram or went on a podcast and was talking
about my free throws and he brought it to the attention of everybody so I had
to change it”
On changing a free throw form mid career
“It’s hard but like as much as I be in the gym it shouldn’t be that hard
so like I try to shoot like 200 free throws a day”
Anthony Edwards 谈到他取消罚球时的往前踩动作 (Mark Cuban 害的）
Anthony Edwards:“有个很有名的人在 Instagram 或某个 Podcast，在那边讲我的罚球
，他把这件事弄得大家都注意到了，所以我只好改掉。”
谈到在职涯中途更改罚球动作
Anthony Edwards:“很难，但以我在球馆花的时间，其实也没那么难。
所以我每天会试着多投大概 200 球罚球。”

This has nothing to do with Ant. It was the fact that @NBAOfficials chose
not to make an easy call.
That's the issue. It's not Adam Silver telling them what to call or not.
They just decide themselves.
I brought it up to the head of officials when we played the twolves in the
playoffs 2 years ago. When Ant hit game winning FTs against us, and
obviously stepped over the line.
The people in charge of the refs ignored it. They also ignored it in the
L2M report. (Something they do a lot of )
But if you speak about it on NBA podcasts, that changes their behavior.
So many changes in officiating that have changed the game dramatically, like
using contact to create space for a shot. That wasn't in the game till
recently. It wasn't a directive from Adam Silver.
All the fouls that started getting called mid season 2 years ago and have
accelerated further now so that FTs are skyrocketing. That doesn't come from
the top. It comes from the officials. I don't even think it's an organized
decision. If they make a call, or don't , and they don't want it identified
as a miss, they just keep doing it.
库班: “这件事跟 Ant 一点关系都没有。问题在于NBA裁判选择不去吹一个很简单的判罚
。这才是重点。不是Adam Silver指示他们该怎么吹或不该怎么吹，是裁判自己决定的。
两年前我们在季后赛打灰狼时，我就把这件事拿去跟裁判部门主管提过了。当时 Ant 投
进对我们的致胜罚球，而且明显踩线了。主管们却直接忽略这件事。他们在最后两分钟裁
判报告里也忽略了。(他们经常这么做)
但如果你在 NBA 的 podcast 上公开谈这些，那就会改变他们的行为方式。裁判的很多改
变已经让比赛产生巨大变化，像是利用身体接触来创造投篮空间，这种打法是最近才出现
在比赛里的，但并不是Adam Silver下的指示。还有两年前球季中期开始大量吹的那些犯规
，而且现在吹得更夸张，罚球数也因此狂飙。那也不是上面指示的，是裁判自己做的。
我甚至觉得这都不是什么有组织的决定。只要他们吹了某种犯规(或不吹)，而裁判他们又
不希望那被认定是误判，他们就会一直照着那样吹下去。”
