There are two main reasons for players to be replaced: one is that the rotation time is up, let other players come up to play, rest on the bench for a period of time, and get a certain amount of physical recovery when they play again, in order to play a good performance. The second is that the player's state of the game is too bad, which has a huge negative impact on the team, and the coach has to replace him from the field and let other players top. So the question is, how do players who play on the field know they're going to be replaced? This issue answers this question.
1. Fixed rotation time
The starting player's rotation time is basically fixed, the player knows the approximate off-the-field break, when the opponent or teammate is on the free throw, they will pay attention to the game time, when the game is in his rest time, they see their substitute players stand up, they will go to the field to rest.
Second, when the number of fouls is too large
When a starter commits two fouls in the first quarter, even shortly after the game begins, the player takes the initiative to play until the start of the second quarter. When a player commits 3 fouls in the second quarter and plays well in the second half, he will also take the initiative to play. When a player has already committed five personal fouls in the third quarter, he will certainly take the initiative to play for the fourth quarter.
Although there are some special cases where players do not take the initiative to play, but most of the time it is like this, they have been in the NBA for many years, understand that only staying on the court can help the team, when the number of fouls is too much, you must know how to get off the field to let yourself through the dangerous period of fouls.
Third, the coach signaled the player to go down
In fact, the coach rarely directly informs the player to go down, only when the home team sends a sideline ball, or when the home team bench is a free throw to make the game press the pause button, the coach will be close to the players on the field to signal the player to go down.
4. Notice from substitute players
Substitutions at the time of free throws are also not uncommon, and the above mentioned that if it is a penalty on the home team bench, the coach will signal the player to go down. However, in the other half of the free throw, the coach is far away from the players on the field, and the coach will certainly not signal to let the players go off at this time - you can't always shout on the field.
If the player on the field saw his substitute coming, he would also walk back to the bench himself, and the two made some gestures to encourage each other on the way. If the players on the field are too involved to see the substitute players coming, they need the substitute players to go to him to remind him that it is time to rest, sometimes there is no need to say, to touch the other party, the other party turns around and sees people and knows that it is time to go down.
Fifth, special circumstances take the initiative to go down
When players feel unwell and feel they have to go off the field to check it out, they will take the initiative to ask to go down. When the player feels particularly tired, but the game is too anxious for the coach to risk replacing the core players, the player can signal to the head coach to slow down, even if the rest of tens of seconds can also allow the player to be relieved, and there will be better performance when playing again.
In the first round of the 2018 playoffs, the Cavaliers and pacers fought seven games, and in the seventh game, the players of both teams were physically weak, and Tyren lu put James on the court for a long time, and James took the initiative to signal to Tyrren Lu to rest when he was tired.
