Chapter 871 The Big Man Who Can Shoot Three Points Best
Westbrook's dunk may be the only action that can more easily boost the atmosphere of the scene than An Luo's three-pointer.At least, that's the case at Chesapeake Energy Arena.Although many people are quite critical of this style of play that consumes physical potential, such explosive goals are still loved by fans.
Brook Lopez, who is 213cm tall, can be said to be the most successful traditional center in this league's transformation.He already has an excellent mid-range shooting ability, and his low-post offense is also very outstanding.As the league gradually entered the era of faster-paced small balls, he began to actively adapt to the changes in the league, expanding his shooting range beyond the three-point line, and practiced a more accurate and stable three-pointer than many defenders. Distribution ability.In the embarrassing season of the big players in the past, Lopez has always been a very sought-after five player.
After coming to the Bucks, Lopez is even more comfortable.The three-point shooting rate even reached 50.00%.Who would have thought that this classic center who was once the most trendy could evolve into a new type of center suitable for modern basketball over time.This is shocking, because many players can't change it if they want to.Howard has been practicing free throws and shooting since he was with the Lakers. In the end, he changed three or four teams and there was no improvement.
In addition to his excellent scoring ability on the offensive end, Lopez's defense has also undergone great changes.At the beginning, due to his too large body, Lopez's defense and mobility were poor.
In the past two or three seasons, Lopez's defensive ability has been thoroughly developed under the Bucks' system.Despite his poor rebounding numbers and poor impression, he does a good job of limiting the efficiency of opponents' offenses.In the regular season last season, Lopez averaged 16.5 shots per game, ranking sixth in the league, 6 times more than Antetokounmpo, the second most in the Bucks. In the case of defensive tasks, Lopez still limited the opponent's shooting percentage to only 42.2%, which reduced the opponent's shooting percentage by 5.9 percentage points.You know, in the regular season last season, Embiid's opponents all shot 47.9% from the field, and Jokic's opponents shot 50.1% from the field.
A center player who can limit the opponent's shooting percentage to less than 45% is really quite a remarkable thing.Although Lopez's defensive efficiency is partly due to his many times defending the opponent's outside shots, the effect of the big Lopez defending the opponent's two-pointers last season is also very good. .In the regular season last season, Lopez limited the opponent's 2-point shooting percentage to only 43.6%, ranking fifth among the more than 5 players in the league who averaged no less than [-] two-pointers per game.
The most prominent defensive method of Lopez is blocking shots, which is also the most well-known.Therefore, facing such a big player, Westbrook is indeed too steely!If the dunk is scored, it is the top five goals, and if the dunk is missed, it is the top five.
Looking back, Antetokounmpo and Lopez started a pick-and-roll cooperation at the top of the arc.The latter pulls to the top of the arc for a pick-and-roll, Antetokounmpo then screens to get rid of the defense, and then goes straight to the basket.Adams and Robertson immediately double-teamed up. Facing the impact of Antetokounmpo, it was difficult for Adams to keep up, so more defensive strength was needed.
Faced with double-teaming, Antetokounmpo decisively chose to pass the ball.
After Robertson followed Antetokounmpo to the basket, Lopez was emptied.This is a fantastic opportunity!
Of course, generally speaking, there is no big problem with emptying a center outside the three-point line, but there is a problem with emptying a center like Lopez.
Antetokounmpo made a through ball from the penalty area and passed it to Lopez who was standing outside the three-point line on the right.After the latter received the ball, he slapped the ball on the floor, then pulled it up and threw the ball.
"Shh!"
The ball is in!
As the big man who can shoot three-pointers best, Lopez likes to score in this way.
An Luo and Westbrook looked at each other silently, each shrugged their shoulders, and began to enter offensive mode.In fact, they had anticipated such a situation a long time ago.Donovan had already considered this issue when he arranged his tactics.But he always believes that Antetokounmpo who broke into the penalty area is much more threatening than Lopez who is outside the three-point line.
From the point of view of scoring probability, it is indeed the case.Although in today's basketball games, players' offensive range is getting wider and wider, but the proportion of scoring inside the three-point line is still far more than that outside the three-point line.After all, everyone knows from the first day of basketball that the closer to the basket, the easier it is to score.
Donovan stood on the long side with his arms folded, his face as usual.Score a three-pointer and have little effect.But soon, Donovan had to rethink and adjust their defensive strategy.
Westbrook and An Luo made a pick-and-roll cooperation on the left side of the three-point line. When the former crossed the three-point line, he threw the ball from Matthews' head to An Luo, and the latter took advantage of the situation to open the distance to the right. The two defenders, Bledsoe and Matthews, rushed over.At this time, did An Luo stand up abruptly, but he just feinted a shot, made a shooting action to attract the opponent's defensive attention, and then threw the ball with both hands to Westbrook who cut in.
At this time, there was no one in front of Westbrook.Lopez, who was originally under the basket, was brought to the free throw line by Adams, and Westbrook rushed in with an acceleration.After receiving An Luo's pass, he didn't dunk again. He raised his right hand and scored two points.
Looking back, Antetokounmpo and Lopez did it again.Bledsoe took the lead in launching the first round of charge. He also used Lopez to throw off the defense and break through the Thunder's defense.The Thunder shrunk quickly and didn't give Bledsoe any chance to complete the layup.However, Bledsoe's purpose has also been achieved.He tossed the ball with his right hand and passed it to Antetokounmpo at the other elbow.
After receiving the ball, Antetokounmpo started immediately. Under the cover of Lopez, he threw away Robertson and was about to layup.At this time, Adams quickly received the basket, straightened his chest, and raised his hands high.As a result, Antetokounmpo had eyes in the back of his head and threw the ball backhand to Lopez who once again pulled it beyond the three-point line.
Almost in the same place, after Lopez received the basketball, he opened his hands and threw the ball easily.
