卢卡，在谈及联盟中那些以出色外线防守著称的球队，诸如雷霆、活塞，乃至猛龙，他们的防守战术中包含大量犯规和拉扯对手手臂的行为。然而，裁判不可能对每一项此类动作都作出判罚。在您整个NBA职业生涯中，您观察到了哪些现象？裁判在处理外线防守时，对哪些动作持禁止态度？
Over the past couple of seasons, there has been a significant increase in physicality during matches, with a greater allowance for close encounters. However, as you mentioned, referees cannot possibly call every instance. Therefore, I believe the key lies in adapting to this situation. On the defensive side, we must adopt a similar approach, harnessing the intensity and assertiveness to counter our opponents. We must learn from these experiences, just as the defensive aspect of the game should also embrace such tactics.
