Almighty Athlete Chapter 27: Three-point record
This year's Western competition is indeed fierce enough. In the four playoff games, except for the Trail Blazers 4-2 victory over the Rockets, the other three groups have reached the seventh game.
On May 3, both the Thunder and the Clippers defeated their opponents at home. The two teams will meet in the Western Conference semifinals. In a playoff game held in the east on the same day, the Pacers also defeated the Hawks at home and eliminated the Hawks 4-3.
This is obviously a bad sign for the Lakers. All three teams defeated the seventh matchup. All the home teams won and the away team was eliminated. The next game between the Lakers and the Spurs was held at the Spurs' home court.
Going back to the att center arena again, the Spurs are united, and the Spurs fans also make the Lakers feel the pressure of the Devil at home.
"beat-l.a.! beat-l.a.! beat-l.a...."
This slogan should be very familiar to the Lakers. beat-la, "beat the Lakers". In 1980, the Celtics played against the Philadelphia 76ers. The fans saw no hope of winning. The audience shouted "beat-la" and put The hope of defeating the Lakers was given to his opponent Philadelphia. This slogan is particularly loud in the playoffs. For more than thirty years, as long as it is a key battle to enter the playoffs, every opponent of the Lakers, whether direct or indirect, has played this slogan at home.
Today, this slogan is heard again in the att center court.
"If the Lakers can win this year, it will create a miracle! It is not just a black eight miracle, a 0 to 3 flop, it has never been done before." A photographer sighed.
"If this is the Lakers home, it is possible, but here is the Spurs home, the Lakers have no hope. This year the Spurs are too strong!" Mike Wells said. He is espn's ace sports reporter. This time he came to the scene to report this battle of focus.
"But you look at the Lakers lineup, it's not weak," the photographer said.
"The Lakers' lineup is not weak, there are inside and outside, and there are top star players, but the two sides are not at the tactical level. D'Antoni is still a bit worse for Popovich! You Just wait and see, this game will be a tactical victory, just like it was a few years ago!" Wills said.
Between the two speaking, the game has already started, and the two teams have sent regular lineups, and nothing has changed.
Of course, the Lakers are still running and banging, focusing on fast offense and fast-paced conduction, but what Danny Anthony did not expect is that the Spurs have chosen to fight right!
It is indeed "again," like the Spurs playing the Phoenix Suns in the playoffs.
Danthony’s thoughts could not help but return to a few years ago, when he was the head coach of the Phoenix Suns. Under his training, the Suns were the top three teams in the West for several years in a row, and were even considered to be The most powerful contender for the championship.
However, in the playoffs, the Suns lost to the Spurs. In the 2005 Western Conference finals, the Suns lost to the Spurs 1 to 4; in the 2006 Western Conference semifinals, the Suns lost to the Spurs 2 to 4. At that time, the Spurs actually played against the Suns!
That was the most painful experience of D'Antoni's coaching career. He vaguely remembered the first match between the two sides. At the home team of the Suns, the Sun scored 32 points in the fourth quarter. This is for a shelling team. In general, a single block of 30+ is a normal number. The opponent Spurs scored 43 points in the fourth quarter!
The Spurs at that time dared to compete with the Pistons' "Five Tigers" defense team, and the Sun, who is good at shelling, under his own normal conditions, the vitality was actually better than the defensive Spurs. This is for D'Antoni. Say, it is really a profound lesson.
Now, the Spurs are reappearing. They want to attack the Lakers, and this time at the Spurs' home, they have an advantage.
......
"Tony Parker!" the dj on the scene shouted Parker's name because he scored again.
Fighting the right way, Parker must be more efficient than the old Duncan, and now Nash is also a loophole on the defensive end. Parker can easily score on Nash.
At the same time, Danny Green and Ginobili, who came off the bench, also played very well. Split did not come to this tactic, so it was replaced early. Instead, Boris Dior got more opportunities to play.
Every time the Spurs score a goal, the scene will boil, and the "beat-l.a." shouts are still in the air, but the Lakers are not behind.
"Zhang Guan, a three-pointer! Re-entry! This ball is beautiful, hitting the ball against Leonard's defense. 28 to 28 draw, the Lakers equalized again!"
"Zhang Guan, retreat three-pointer and score! 37 to 38, the Lakers narrowed the gap to 1 point!"
"Zhang Guan holds the ball, time is running out, 5 seconds, 4 seconds, 3 seconds, 2 seconds, 1 second, three-point shot! Enter! Buzzer three-pointer! This ball Leonard has Sealed to the face of Zhang Guan, but Zhang Guan still scored the goal! At the end of the first half, with the Zhang Guan buzzer three-pointer, the Lakers temporarily trailed the Spurs by one point 64 to 65."
Popovich looked at the statistics, and suddenly there was a feeling of upset.
In the first half of the game, Zhang Guan made a total of 23 shots, but the key is that 15 of them were shots outside the three-point line, and Zhang Guan shot 9 three-pointers, three-pointers hit 60 %! Just relying on three-pointers, Zhang Guan scored 27 points, and counted two-point shots and free throws, Zhang Guan got a full 37 points in the first half!
Scoring more than 30 at halftime, some of the active athletes, such as James and Durant, really let them score desperately, 30 points at halftime is not difficult. Chamberlain had scored 59 points in the half at the time, and Bryant also had 55 points in the half.
In terms of hit rate, Zhang Guan is not an exaggeration. Kobe's 81 points in that game, the shooting rate was more than 60%, 65 points in a single game and 62 points in a single game, the shooting rate was 59% and 58%, and the shooting rate was even reached in 61 points 61%. Those strongmen who can score more than 50 points in a game, their half shooting rate remains at about 60%.
However, Popovich is most worried about the 3-pointer made 9 of 15 shots!
In the history of nba, the most three-pointers in a single game are jr-smith’s 22, and currently Zhang Guan has made 15 three-pointers. In the second half, he only needs to make 7 three-pointers. Able to tie jr smith's record, and then shoot 8 three-pointers, you can break this record.
However, at the time jr Smith made 22 three-pointers, but only hit 10, but Zhang Guan shot 9 in the first half!
It is Kobe who made the most three-pointers in a single game in nba. He played 12-of-18 from three-pointers in 2003 against the Supersonics. His three-pointer shooting rate was as high as 66.7%. This record will reach 2016. It was only broken by the perverted Curry. At that time, Curry only used 17 three-pointers to make 13 shots. The three-point shooting rate was as high as 76.5%.
Today's Zhang Guan's three-point shooting rate is exactly 60%, which is not as good as that of Kobe in that year, and far worse than that of the future Curry, but it is enough to shock Popovich.
When the Warriors won the championship next year, nba began to popular three-point throws, at that time some teams in nba are good at shooting three-pointers, can average more than 30 three-pointers per game, and Germany The Rockets under Anthony are even more perverted, averaging 86.8 shots per game, 40 of which are three-pointers. Almost half of the team's offense is done outside the three-point line.
This season, the Spurs only averaged 21.4 three-pointers per game. Master Popovich watched Zhang Guan threw 15 three-pointers in the first half. How could he be shocked.
Throwing a three-pointer is completely three years later, and even after three years, the Spurs already have the experience of dealing with the Warriors, but they will still be able to meet the rocket that throws a three-pointer. Very headache. Now that he met a team that had bombarded and threw threes in advance, Popovich was at a loss for a while.
......
In the second half, when Zhang Guan scored two more 3-pointers, the commentator began to sit still.
"Zhang Guan, you only need to score another three-pointer to tie Kobe’s record of 12 three-pointers in a single game! Now it’s less than half in the third quarter. It looks like Zhang Guan broke this record. There is no suspense!" The commentator's voice just fell, and the Zhang Guan shot one step ahead of the three-point line.
"Three-pointers, enter! Twelfth! Zhang Guan's twelfth three-pointer made in this game! He has tied Kobe's record of twelve three-pointers in a single game If he casts another one, he will be able to break this record!" The commentator shouted excitedly, and in front of the TV, countless fans were also excited for it.
Nba’s record is definitely not every day. Fans spend time watching the game, naturally they want to see a wonderful matchup, and if they can witness the birth of a new record, no matter whether the game is wonderful or not, regardless of the result of the game, For fans, this trip is worthwhile. For neutral fans, the performance of Zhang Guan deserves their applause.
It’s just not good news for Spurs fans at home. It’s really a morale to be beaten by opponents in their own home games.
Leonard is the most injured morale. He is responsible for defending Zhang Guan. As the top defender in the league, even if he meets LeBron James, Leonard does not counsel at all, but today’s game However, he still couldn't prevent Zhang Guan's three-point shot.
James is a player who relies heavily on breakthroughs. His mid-range shooting accuracy is not high. It is the kind of player who does not need to guard too deliberately but can not let him shoot. In the future, the Warriors defended James, and even took a two-step back defense. This is a shot that completely despised James.
James’ shooting is really nothing in the eyes of the Warriors’ metamorphosis. However, in the 2004 playoffs, the Warriors' metamorphosis was only in the embryonic stage.
nba center defense three-point shooter has always been dominated by interference, there is no desperate to defend, the result of a desperate three-point shooter, Tracy McGrady has told the whole with 35 seconds of wonderful performance Alliance, what will the results be. However, when Curry's "perverted quasi" appeared, no one in the entire NBA could prevent him. Parker even stated that the best way to prevent Curry is to prevent him from catching the ball. Once Curry receives the ball, the only thing he can do is start praying.
Of course, afterwards, nba’s rear door also summarized some methods to deal with Curry, such as using height to pressure, disturbing Curry’s dribbling rhythm, full-field defense, early bagging, etc. There are methods specifically for Curry, and most of them interfere with it before Curry takes action.
It's just that Leonard now knows these tricks. He still defends Zhang Guan in the same way as he used to prevent three-pointers. Naturally, it is a variety of deflation.
......
13 three-pointers, it seems that it is only a matter of time, and for the Spurs, they hope that this time will come later.
However, it should come, but now it is only half of the third quarter. Zhang Guan has a lot of time to score the 13th 3-pointer.
"Zhang Guan, 3-pointer! Missing frame!"
Home fans of the Spurs took a breath, but at this moment, Whiteside broke out from the crowd and drew the ball to the outside. Bezmore grabbed the ball and immediately broke the ball. After attracting the Spurs' attention, the ball was distributed to Zhang Guan.
"Zhang Guan, have another three-pointer and scored! The 13th three-pointer, Zhang Guan broke Kobe's record of 12 three-pointers in a single game!"
The fans at the scene sighed in disappointment, and Popovich immediately called for a short timeout.
In fact, the Spurs’ scores have not fallen behind. The main purpose of Popovich’s suspension is to stabilize the military and keep the players’ minds from being affected.
I have to say that the Spurs players are still very stable. They did not show panic, but continued to carry out the tactics set by Popovich.
I have to say that the Spurs’ firepower is really very strong. Even if they fight right, they are not weaker than the Lakers, and the Spurs’ defense is obviously better than the Lakers. If not, Zhang Guan has always maintained With a higher three-point shooting percentage, the Lakers must have been pulled away by the Spurs.
At this time of the game, the Lakers can only continue to believe in the feel of Zhang Guan.
"Three-pointer, scored again, 14th! Hit the 14th 3-pointer in a single game! Zhang Guan set a new record! At the same time, this is also the 23rd shot of Zhang Guan in this game, he broke jr Smith's record of 22 three-pointers made in a single game!"
At the end of the third quarter, Zhang Guan scored the 14th three-pointer, followed by the Spurs through an exhausted attack to end the third quarter. At this time, the score of the two sides was 92 to 94. The Spurs Still leading two points.
For the Spurs, Duncan scored 12 points, Parker scored 16 points, Ginobili scored 11 points, Leonard scored 11 points, Danny Green scored 12 points, and Dior scored 10 points. The team even had six people in double figures. And Zhang Guan alone scored 56 points!
"56 points in three quarters, today's Zhang Guan is too scary, are you going to go for 80 points?"
"If Zhang Guan hits the fourth quarter, maybe it can really break the 80-point mark, and there are 24 points away from 80 points. For top scorers, 24 points in a single quarter is not impossible. "
"The Spurs also scored in double figures for six people. Mills and Belinelli were about to score 10 points. If they were given a few more phone calls in the fourth quarter, they would definitely be able to score in double digits. Of."
"I can see that this is a contest between the star and the team. The Lakers are now completely relying on the three-pointer of Zhang Guan, and the Spurs are only five people."
"That’s right, these are two different basketball ideas, whether it is teamwork or superstars. The final result will be announced soon."
"The fourth quarter has begun! Look, Zhang Guan has no rest, he is still on the field! So he is going to play the fourth quarter!"
"Zhang Guan did not have a rest in the third quarter, and then had to play the fourth quarter again, he is desperately trying."
"The Lakers are two points behind, and by this time, they will not be able to fight! D'Antoni will not dare to let Zhang Guan take a break."
"Three-pointer, scored again! Zhang Guan's three-pointer scored again! The 15th three-pointer, 95 to 94, the Lakers finally overtake!"
Zhang Guan scored the 15th 3-pointer of the game to help the Lakers overtake the score.
The next second, the sound of mountains and tsunamis erupted from the scene.
"beat-l.a.!"
Spurs fans don’t accept falling behind~IndoMTL.com~They want to beat Los Angeles!
"beat-l.a.!"
The Spurs players clenched their fists in excitement. They glared at every Lakers player, and their expressions showed a strong sense of war.
"beat-l.a.!"
Danthony unconsciously felt his hands start to tremble, he knew that the moment the Lakers overtake the score, the decisive moment finally arrived! (To be continued., Your support is my biggest motivation.) 17-02-2409:54:11
