据Woj神爆料,美国时间周四，联盟竞赛委员会向NBA董事会提交了一份关于修改规则的建议，NBA董事会将在9月1日对建议进行表决，如果超过三分之二的人同意，新赛季将修改规则。

The NBA's board of governors are expected to pass rule changes for the 2018-19 season that include resetting¹ the shot clock after an offensive rebound² to 14 seconds from 24, simplifying the clear-path foul³ rule and expanding the definition of the "hostile act" to more easily trigger instant replay, league sources told ESPN.

联盟消息人士告诉ESPN，NBA董事会希望在2018-19赛季修改规则，这其中包括获得进攻篮板后进攻时间由24s改为14s，简化进攻路径犯规规则以及扩大“恶意犯规”的定义使其更容易达到回放条件。

The NBA believes that the resetting of the shot clock to 14 seconds after offensive rebounds⁴ will increase shot attempts, especially at the end of close games. The NBA studied FIBA's implementation⁵ of the rule in 2014, as well as its use in G League, WNBA and NBA summer league games.

NBA认为，在获得进攻篮板后将投篮倒计时改为14秒将会增加投篮次数，尤其是在比赛的最后时刻。NBA已经研究了此规则在2014年的FIBA，G联赛、WNBA和NBA夏季联赛中的应用情况。

The NBA says the clear-path foul rule would eliminate the need that a play start in the backcourt.

NBA表示新的进攻路径犯规将取消“从后场发起进攻”这一必要条件。

Referees⁷ would no longer "need to make a judgment⁸ call on whether a defender⁹ was 'between' the offensive player and the baskett, or, if a defender is ahead of the player being fouled¹⁰ but not 'between' the offensive player and the basket, whether such defender had the opportunity to position himself between the ball and the basket."

裁判不需要判断防守队员是否处于进攻队员与篮筐之间，即便防守球员在进攻球员“前方”而非其与篮筐之间，裁判也不需要再判定防守者是否有机会到达此位置。

The expanded definition of the "hostile act" to trigger instant replay would now extend beyond interaction with another player to also include a hostile interaction with a referee⁶, coach or a fan.

扩大对于恶意犯规的定义以触发即时回放，恶意犯规不仅局限于球员之间，同样也包括球员与裁判，教练和球迷之间。
