11月2日，据24直播网报道，在一场激烈的NBA常规赛中，洛杉矶湖人队主场以131比125击败了多伦多猛龙队。比赛结束后，东契奇接受了媒体的专访。
卢卡在谈到NBA中最杰出的外线防守队伍时，如雷霆、活塞和猛龙，他指出这些球队的防守战术在很大程度上依赖于在外线实施大量犯规和拉扯对手手臂的行为。然而，他提出，裁判不可能对每一个此类动作都进行吹罚。那么，在整个NBA生涯中，卢卡有何观察？在执行外线防守时，裁判禁止哪些动作？
During the past two years, there has been a marked increase in physicality during matches, with a greater allowance for physical contact. However, as you pointed out, referees cannot possibly call every foul. Therefore, I believe we must learn to adapt and implement a similar strategy on the defensive end, leveraging the heightened intensity and aggressiveness to counter our opponents. We need to draw lessons from this and ensure that the defensive side of the game follows suit.
