恩...新的rule book是怎麼說:

Section XIII—Traveling

b. A player who receives the ball while he is progressing or upon completion of a dribble, may take two steps in coming to a stop, passing or shooting the ball. A player who receives the ball while he is progressing must release the ball to start his dribble before his second step. The first step occurs when a foot, or both feet, touch the floor after gaining control of the ball. The second step occurs after the first step when the other foot touches the floor, or both feet touch the floor simultaneously. A player who comes to a stop on step one when both feet are on the floor or touch the floor simultaneously may pivot using either foot as his pivot. If he jumps with both feet he must release the ball before either foot touches the floor. A player who lands with one foot first may only pivot using that foot. A progressing player who jumps off one foot on the first step may land with both feet simultaneously for the second step. In this situation, the player may not pivot with either foot and if one or both feet leave the floor the ball must be released before either returns to the floor.

開門見山第一句就寫出了新的改變..球員在行進間接球或是在收球後到停止動作,傳球或投籃這之間可以踩兩步 (本來是一步). 什麼意思? 當球員跑位出來接球時可以多一步來緩衝空間..或是球員切入收球後本來第二步之後就必須傳或投,若再第三步觸地時還握有球的控制權則算走步, 現在新規則允許球員踩這第三步(但是踩完雙腳就不能再移動)

這對比賽當然有影響...但是跟上面許多網友所說的似乎沒關係...要注意的是這個改變的重點在"progressing movements" 如果球員是在靜止的狀態下街到球,這個改變並不apply. 同樣的, 不過是哪種狀況下接到球, 在球員移動軸心腳之前都必須要下球. Section C也重申了這點

c. In starting a dribble after (1) receiving the ball while standing still, or (2) coming to a legal stop, the ball must be out of the player’s hand before the pivot foot is raised off the floor

也就是說這個改變並沒有讓所謂的偷吃步合法化 !!

老實說, 這個所謂Two-Step的現像早就不是新聞, 裁判根本也不會刻意去抓..現在聯盟終於針對這個現像做了個因應..先不論聯盟的因應是否適當,是否真能增加比賽精采度, 至少聯盟裁判吹判時可以少了一個爭議..大家都可以走兩步, 大家都不要吵!!

一定也會有人說, 規則就是規則, 豈能這樣兒戲亂改? 我只能說....這是以賺錢為最高目的,娛樂是唯一宗旨的獨立職業聯盟....更何況, 我不確定這個規則修改會造成大家說得這麼誇張的影響

討論當然沒問題, 不過討論前我想我們應該需要先弄清楚到底在討論什麼
