卢卡：谈及联盟中那些以出色外线防守著称的球队，如雷霆、活塞以及猛龙，他们的防守战术在很大程度上依赖于频繁的外线犯规和拉扯对手手臂。然而，裁判在场上不可能对每一个此类动作都作出判罚。在我整个NBA职业生涯中，我见证了什么行为是被裁判所禁止的在外线防守中？
Observations indicate a significant increase in physical confrontation over the past couple of seasons, with a more permissive stance towards physical contact. However, as you pointed out, referees cannot possibly call every instance. Therefore, I believe the key lies in adapting to the situation. Our defensive strategies must also embrace this heightened intensity and assertiveness to counter our adversaries. We must learn from this experience, and the defensive side must adopt a similar approach.
