The NBA no longer counts the end of the neighborhood as an attempt to shoot by the player, have announced other championship changes

It happens at least once in almost all NBA games. At the end of a quarter or in the first half, a player will take the ball in the backcourt field with a second on the clock, take a dribbling and he will only hesitate to get off from a half field so that the ball is in his hands when the cycline sounds and the shot does not count, he does or missing. The reason for this is that the players know that they will miss the shot and do not want to mature against their percentage of shooting.

Starting this season, they will not do it: at the end of the quarters they will be considered a team shooting attempt but does not count against the total shot of the player, a change that the owners of the NBA approved on Wednesday, Wednesday Shams Charania reports by Espn. This was something that some advanced NBA statistical sites, How to clean the glassYes, now it will be only officer with the championship.

The hope is that this will lead to multiple players who make an attempt at legitimate shooting – although unlikely – at the end of the neighborhoods. The League would like to see multiple players like Boston Payton Pritchard become specialists in an attempt to make these shots.

In other actions at the Board of Governors meeting:

• Starting this season, when there is a challenge of a coach of an out of limit game, he will be the official of the center of Replay in Secoucus, not the head of the crew on the field, which will determine if a foul should have been called. This is a change, previously the main officer of the game has managed these reviews. However, the championship wants to accelerate the revision process, so now the Replay Center will face these calls.

• Starting from the NBA 2026-27 season, only the championship match of the NBA Cup in mid-season will be played in a neutral site (currently Las Vegas), with the semifinals instead hosted by the team with higher seeds in every conference in their home arena.

For the next season, the “old” format will remain in place, with the last four teams of the NBA Cup who head to Las Vegas for the semifinals and the championship match. This year, the semifinals are scheduled for Saturday 13 December in Las Vegas, with the finals of Tuesday 16 December.

Last season, the semifinals did not fill the T-Mobile Arena of Las Vegas on a Saturday in December, which raised concerns. There were some Hawks fans in the building for their game (a loss for the Bucks), but mainly because the Atlanta Falcons were in Las Vegas to face the Raiders in a rendering of the NFL accounts, so those fans were already in the city. Having the semifinals in the domestic arenas will provide a better turn and atmosphere.

Having said that, for the players, the possibility of obtaining a few days in Las Vegas was a motivation to create the Final Four. Now they have to get to the game of the championship for this.
