Live broadcast, January 23 News warrior Coach Cole talked about the changes in league defense today when he was a guest of olbert & Copes podcasting program earlier.
Cole said: “The defense of the league has undergone an evolution in the past five or six years. Some of them are changes in the rhythm of the game. Everyone has played faster, some are influenced by Stephen Curry. His projection area is too large. Now you will see a lot of people passing through the midfield and then shooting directly on the team mark, this is very common in current NBA games.”
“Of course, to a large extent, it is the change of rules. NBA rules are indeed more inclined to attacking players now. You will see that the attacking side has gained advantages in many cases. In many cases, defense is almost impossible. The referee will tell you, ‘he is not in a legal defensive position,’ and you will say, ‘yes, but he rushed over my players. “If someone passes directly from you, what is the legal defensive position?”
“But this is the way the alliance has developed in the past ten years. It has really become more open and free. Most of them have produced positive results, but I think we are a little overdone, we deprived some defensive abilities.” Cole said.
