Cole: The new rules will help Curry. Before, everyone tried hard to hit him in the arm

During today's media interview session, Kerr talked about a change in the focus of the NBA's new season's penalty - the high-five defense will be regarded as a foul.

Cole said: Well, the biggest one is the "five rules". You know, our coaching association and the league are involved in the formulation of this rule. We have really allowed defenders to escape a lot of fouls when interfering with jump shots over the past few years. For example, we will call for low-post confrontations, but on the outside, defenders can often hit the pitcher's hand without being judged as foul. So this time they adjusted the rules and did not allow so much physical contact. The pitcher can now complete the ball-to-ball action. The reason why it is called the "Five Rule" is that in many cases, when the pitcher takes action, the defender hits them directly in their hands, just like a high-five, and he will be called a foul in the future. There is another situation, such as the pitcher has already thrown the ball for a second, but the defender still hits the pitcher's wrist. This kind of loophole that was exploited by the players in the past will no longer be allowed. I think this is great because that really comes with the risk of injury. So the focus of the new regulations is to protect pitchers.

Reporter asked: Does this mean it can help Curry very much?

Cole said: I think this will help Curry. You know, in the past few years, because the rules are relatively loose, everyone will try their best to hit him in the arm in every game. So it was a very good change for him and a good change for everyone. I think this is obviously a foul. In my opinion, I should have been yelled in the past few years, but everyone has ignored it. I'm glad the league finally solved this problem.
