The Paris Olympic basketball game is underway, have careful fans found that the Olympic (FIBA) basketball game, and we usually watch the NBA game is different? What are the differences between the two basketball systems, this article according to the official NBA and FIBA rulebook to help you sort through.

Court size:

Full size:

NBA: Court 94 feet (28.65 m) long by 50 feet (15.24 m) wide

Olympic: The court is slightly smaller than the NBA, 91.9 feet (28 m) long and 49.2 feet (15 m) wide.

The three-point line:

NBA: Maximum point from the three-point line is 23.75 feet (7.24 m)

Olympics: The farthest point from the three-point line is 22.1 feet (6.75 m)

Race Length:

NBA: Four quarters of 12 minutes each for a total of 48 minutes

Olympics: Four sessions of 10 minutes each, a total of 40 minutes

Pause rule:

NBA: Teams have six regular timeouts per game, with extra timeouts in overtime. Time outs can be 60 seconds or 100 seconds, with one short stop per half (20 seconds)

Olympics: Teams have five timeout opportunities per game (two in the first half, three in the second half, but only two in the last two minutes of the fourth quarter). Each team has a timeout opportunity during overtime. All pause times are 60 seconds. And in Olympic Games, timeouts can only be used when the ball is dead, which means players can't suddenly call a timeout in the middle of possession like they do in the NBA.

Foul rules:

NBA: A player will be ejected after six fouls, with technical fouls counted separately

Olympic Games: Players will be ejected after five fouls (including technical fouls); Unsportsmanlike fouls (similar to flagrant fouls in the NBA) also count toward this total

Round length:

NBA: Each offensive turn is 24 seconds long

Olympics: Also 24 seconds, but resets to 14 seconds after offensive rebounds

Rules of defense:

NBA: Zone defense is allowed, but the defender cannot stay in the box for more than three seconds, commonly known as the defensive three seconds

Olympics: There is no limit on how long players can stay in the box.

Jump ball rules:

NBA: Jump ball at the beginning of the game, and can also be used to determine the ball during the game.

Olympic Games: The same game began to jump ball, but in the game, if there is a dispute over the ball, it will not use the jump ball to decide the ball like the NBA, but use the way of taking turns to determine the ball. Example: At the beginning of the game between the United States and Serbia, the United States wins the ball, and then there is a ball dispute, then Serbia automatically wins the ball

Walking rules:

NBA: After receiving the ball, a player may take a step before dribbling

Olympic Games: Players must take a step after the ball hits the bottom

Ball interference rules:

NBA: Players cannot touch the ball while it is inside an imaginary cylinder above the basket.

Olympics: Once the ball hits the basket, any player can touch it (i.e. paddle away or tap it in), which also magnifies the role of the tall center on the court.
