Like it and follow it, don’t get lost if you know the ball ~

Warriors are at home today in lecknus. At 7 minutes 40 seconds in the fourth quarter of the game, the referee blew an air foul from Poole, and Cole chose to challenge!

The referee then said that the warrior challenge was successful, and when the whistle rang, Di wincenzo had guaranteed the ball right, so the ball right belonged to the warrior. However, the referee said that he would suspend the warrior.

The bar friends who are familiar with the NBA challenge rules all know that when the challenge succeeds, the challenge team will keep this pause, but the Warriors are still deducted a pause when the challenge succeeds today. What is going on?

After reading the latest rules manual of the NBA2022-23 season, cousin found that Warriors met a less common rule today and listened to Cousin’s explanation.

Today’s rule resolution needs to prepare another knowledge about suspension in advance-forced suspension, which is specified:

There are two mandatory pauses in each competition:

If no team has called a pause before 6 minutes 59 seconds in a game, then the official scorer must forcibly suspend the first dead ball after this time point, and this (first mandatory) pause will be recorded on the home team of this game.

However, in the following period from 2 minutes 59 seconds to 2 minutes 59 seconds in this section, if there is still no team calling to stop, then the official scorer must forcibly shout out the pause for the first dead ball after, this suspension will be recorded on the team that was not recorded as suspended last time.

If a game has been suspended for one time before entering 7 minutes, the mandatory suspension within 7 minutes to 3 minutes will not take effect. Similarly, if there are two pauses on the 7 minutes (or 3 minutes ago) of a match, the mandatory suspension rule of this game (or within 3 minutes) will not take effect.

In short, forced suspension is to ensure that at least two pauses will occur in a competition, and the number of pauses shall be borne by both parties in turn.

After reviewing the concept of “forced pause”, let’s look at the impact of challenge results on the number of pauses.

The latest NBA rule manual page 62 Section V-Impact on Timeouts (impact on suspension) reads as follows:

A. If the event of the challenge is not reversed, the challenge is deemed unsuccessful, and the team presenting the challenge will lose A pause;-this is also A rule we are familiar.

B. If the challenge event is reversed, then the challenge is deemed to be successful, and the team proposing the challenge will maintain this suspension (unless this suspension occurs during the mandatory suspension period);

C. If a team poses a challenge before its own mandatory suspension, the team will lose the suspension regardless of the result of the challenge;-equivalent to the mandatory suspension being used in advance

D. If a team poses a challenge before the mandatory suspension of the opponent team, then if they succeed in the challenge, they will deduct a number of pauses from the opponent;-equivalent to the mandatory suspension being used in advance

If the challenge fails, the team presenting the challenge will be suspended (if there is another forced suspension in this section after this challenge, it will be deducted from the opponent’s team)

E. If a team expresses its challenge after the opponent calls out the pause, then if they succeed in the challenge, the pause will continue to be undertaken by the opponent team; If they fail in the challenge, then this suspension will not be counted as the name of the rival team, but will be counted as the Challenge team.

The situation of Warriors today conforms to the above regulation C.

At that time, the game was 7 minutes 40 seconds in the fourth quarter. The game had been suspended once before, so there would be no forced suspension 3 minutes ago, but just right, the mandatory suspension within 3 minutes will be held on the warrior as planned. Therefore, according to the above rule C, the warrior poses a challenge before his mandatory suspension, whether successful or not, they will all be detained for a pause. In addition, this pause will also cause no forced pause for a period of less than 3 minutes.

Well, from today’s science popularization, we can know that “if the challenge succeeds, we can keep the pause”. In fact, it is an inaccurate statement. It is just a principled statement that is convenient to understand, when encountering some special periods, it cannot be applied.
