On September 11, Beijing time, according to famous reporter Shams, the NBA has issued a new rule.
After the start of the new season, if the ultra-long-distance shot at the end of the quarter is missed, it will be recorded as the team's missed shot rather than personal data. Such long-range shooting attempts will no longer affect the player's personal shooting percentage statistics.

This means that the player's personal shooting percentage will no longer be affected by such "treat"-style ultra-long three-pointers. The league expects that this adjustment will encourage players to make bolder long shots at the end of the quarter.
This is exactly the motivation for the modification of this rule, and the NBA has tested it in the summer league in July this year. The competition committee has also supported this adjustment in recent months.
In the NBA's buzzer-beating long shots last season, Teacher O'T ranked first 22 times, Mikal Bridges ranked second 12 times, Edwards-10 times, Halliburton-9 times, Porter Jr.-8 times, Kobe White-8 times, Pritchard-8 times, VanVleet-8 times, Najib Marshall-8 times
The league only made 12 long shots in the entire season last season. (Note: Buzzer-beating long shots ~ buzzer-beating three-pointers near the halftime or even further).
Many fans know that such long shots have very low shooting rates, most of which are ultra-long-distance shooting, and they also need to race against time.
According to statistics from US media Clutchpoints, if the new algorithm is followed, Jokic's three-point shooting percentage last season will rise from 41.7% to 44.0%, and his overall shooting percentage will rise from 57.6% to 58.4%.


According to this algorithm, Teacher Yo's outside projection data has been directly increased by nearly 3 percentage points. The new rules for Teacher Yo will be introduced next season. Undoubtedly, Teacher Yo will become one of the biggest beneficiaries.
Of course, after the new regulations appear, there will definitely be many players who will choose this kind of shot next season. It is best to be able to make a shot. Even if you fail to make a shot, it will not affect your shooting rate. Why not do it?
