The League has announced that it will strengthen enforcement of the "Cylinder" rule in the new season!
The official rough definition of the "Cylinder" is:
Each player has the right to the space above and on the ground where they are standing, a principle that protects the ground position and the space above occupied by the player.
The meaning is clear:
From now on, defenders extending their foot into the opponent's cylinder will also be considered a foul.
This also increases the risk of stepping under a player.
After all, stepping under successfully before may not have been called a foul.
This is the only positive impact of this rule change.
As for the negative impacts...
Nothing more needs to be said, at this moment "Blackbeard" from Golden State widened his eyes, confidently spit out a sentence:
"Is it my time to play?"
This rule unsurprisingly sparked heated discussions externally.
