Already tested in G-League, the measure will now be applied in Summer League … and there is therefore a good chance that she will find herself in the NBA. What is it? To encourage “prayers” at the end of the quarter.
In fact, the NBA explains that these somewhat desperate attempts at the end of the quarter will no longer be recorded in individual stats, but in collective stats. Clearly: a shot of this kind will not take into account in the line of the player's stats that takes it, but in that of his team.
This is a way for the League to encourage this kind of shots, since players will no longer have to be afraid that their address is falling because they have taken a shot that has almost no chance of entering.
Nevertheless, to prevent it from becoming anything, anything, The NBA set certain criteria. Already, it will only work during the first three quarters. Then, the shot will have to be triggered in the last three seconds of the quarter. It will also have to be taken about 11 meters from the basket and during an action that goes to the opposing basket. That is to say that you will not have to go back to shoot.
