NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Chapter 164 The Exclusive Night of Hacker Marion
Not long after, the game on the court began.

The three-point calibration device is only effective for one month, and Maggette has already used it, and then Combe bound the device to Marion.

Marion's three-point ability is also the kind that is better than nothing.

Before the second team came on the field, Comb specially ordered Maggette to reduce three-point shots as much as possible tonight.

Without the three-point calibration device, Maggette’s current three-point attribute is only 78 points. It’s not that he can’t shoot, but his shooting percentage is definitely not much higher. If he plays normally, he may only have a shooting percentage of more than 30 points. .

Then he asked Marion to fire all three points tonight.

In the first offensive round, Marion received a pass from Nash and made an accurate three-pointer.

He is facing tonight against the 98 parallel lottery Traylor. After Larry Brown selected him, he has been very weak in the 76ers. It is a pity to throw it away. After all, he is the No. [-] pick. Has been unable to play a qualified level.

Turning around, Iverson singled Nash with the ball, and he also scored.

Iverson had a terrifying scoring efficiency of 22 points on 44 shots in a single game on Nash's head. It is difficult for Nash to pose a substantial threat to Iverson's offense.

Fortunately, Nash is not the kind of top player. He knew that he couldn't defend, so he simply asked Lagabel to switch defenses.

In the Raptors' second offensive round, after Dampier opened Ratliff under the basket, Nash passed the ball straight in the past immediately, making Dampier dunk under the basket and easily scoring two points.

In the 76ers' round, Iverson still wanted to continue singles against Nash, but this time Lagabel took the initiative to meet him, and Nash went to match Aaron McGee.

As far as the lineup of the 76ers is concerned, it can't be called too bad.

The offensive firepower of Iverson and Aaron McGee in the backcourt is quite strong. McGee has a good basket and qualified defense.

The inside line is the shot-blocking expert Ratliff and the former All-Star power forward Tyron Hill. Apart from being shorter and thinner, this pair of "twin towers" also has everything they should have.

It's a pity that it looks very uncoordinated. This lineup looks like a boy scout when compared with the Raptors' first lineup, even the second lineup.

They are both short and thin.

Iverson failed to pass Lagabel this round, and finally passed it to Aaron McGee, who also failed to score.

In the third offensive round of the Raptors, Marion made another three-pointer, and this time he hit it again.

The two consecutive three-pointers in the opening game made Marion wonder if Kumbu had cast some magic on himself.

I usually practice three-pointers in training, but unfortunately the shooting rate is terrible.

Generally, for a decent three-point shot, the three-point shooting percentage in daily training must be at least [-]%, so that it is possible to hit about [-]% of the shooting percentage in the face of the opponent's defense in the game.

And Marion usually does not practice [-]% of the time. In the game, when he is facing the defense, it is almost impossible for him to shoot more than [-]% of the three-pointers.

In such a short time, Marion scored two three-pointers in a row, Dampier completed a dunk at the basket, and the Raptors had already scored 8 points. On the 76ers side, only Iverson beat Nash and scored two points. The strength gap between the strong teams is clear at a glance.

The 76ers didn't score in the next round.

Nash is a player with a high emotional intelligence. Before watching Combe, he specifically told Marion to shoot more three-pointers. Even if he didn't understand Combe's intentions, he knew that he had to pass more to Marion.

This time Marion failed to score a three-pointer, but Dampier grabbed an offensive rebound under the basket. Facing the opponent's double-team, he did not dare to make a rash shot and transferred the ball out again.

In the end the ball was transferred to Marion.

"Shh!"

With a [-]-[-] shot, Marion scored his third three-pointer of the night.

The posture is so ugly, but there is absolutely no fan on the scene who will laugh at Marion's shooting posture, because it is such an ugly posture, and their home team will be blown up at the beginning.

Curry actually putt [-] when he was young, but his father corrected him.

If no one corrects it, Curry may not be Curry anymore. From this point of view, it is really important to have a good father.

Just smoking a cigarette, the Raptors had already beaten the Philadelphia 11ers 2:76, Iverson felt a pain in his chest, and wished he could buy a plane ticket tonight and escape from Philadelphia.

You must know that this is only the second team of the Raptors, and you can hammer your team into this.

Still want to win?Play [-] series with the Raptors, and probably won't win even one.

By the end of the first quarter, Marion had been on the court for a full twelve minutes. This alien-like creature didn't look tired at all.

"Coach, my touch feels hotter than magma!"

"How many times have I shot, I only remember that I scored 8 three-pointers, I don't know if I have broken the record?"

After Marion heard the referee whistle, he ran back to the bench and excitedly said to Kumbu.

Comb was embarrassed. He really didn't know how many three-pointers there were in a single quarter in the NBA. He only knew that the current single-game record was 10 three-pointers in a single game held by Dumars.

That's right, there are so few three-point records in a single game right now. Kobe and Marshall's 12 three-pointers in a single game still happened a few years later.

Since the record of three-pointers in a single game is only ten, then Marion's eight three-pointers in a single quarter should break the record.

"Eight three-pointers in a single quarter must be a record."

"As for the previous record, there is no need to know. Anyway, you only need to know that the record holder is you."

If Kumbu knew the original record holder, he would definitely not say such a thing, and he would have to show off.

"Sean, I have some knowledge of the records in this area."

"The previous record of three-pointers in a single quarter was 7, held by three people, namely John Ross, former Hawks shooting guard Steve Smith and Henry James."

"The latter two are the records that they played in the Eagles in 97, which was the season before Kong became the head coach."

When Malone was here before, he was doing all these recording tasks. After he left, Adelman Jr. took the initiative to undertake this task.

No way, the Raptors had too many record-breaking games. Now that Miller has been traded and there is no Princeton system to play, he should find some work for himself as an assistant coach.

Kongbu understood it, no wonder he didn't have much impression. It turned out that this record was born the year before he entered the league.

The Eagles did have something at the time. In one season, two players scored 7 three-pointers in a single quarter.

But those records are now obsolete.

Kumbu himself didn't expect that Marion, a guy with no three-point ability under normal circumstances, could break the record of three-pointers in a single quarter.

And this record may be difficult for anyone to break in the future.

"Hee hee, it really broke the record, I feel that there is no regret in dying."

Marion giggled.

Kong Bu felt a chill in his heart, can you stop being cute with your face?

"Sean, keep working hard. The record for three-pointers in a single game is only 10. You can break the record anytime tonight."

Little Adelman continued to laugh.

Hearing what he said, Comb became curious. The Hawks made 7 three-pointers in the single quarter, but they failed to break Dumars' record?Not even a tie.

In other words, they made 7 three-pointers in one quarter, and averaged no three-pointers in the remaining three quarters.

Henry James can understand, after all, he is a pure substitute, the substitute has no human rights, and Wilkens may not have given him a chance to break the record.

And Smith is the absolute outside core of the Eagles, and Wilkens will definitely not stop him from breaking the record. It is probably because he missed a lot of shots that he gave up the idea of ​​​​breaking the record.

I asked Adelman Jr., and as expected, Smith made 16 three-pointers in that game and hit 9 of them, only one short of Dumars' record.

"Take a good rest and continue the game in the second quarter."

"Strive to break both the halftime three-point record and the full game record. I found that Philadelphia is the blessed land of our Raptors. Here we can always have a chance to break the record."

Combre said happily.

He was happy, but Old Brown couldn't be happy. He couldn't remember how many records Comb broke on his head.

After the start of the second quarter, Combe suddenly discovered that Larry Brown had sent Ratliff out to defend Marion in order to prevent him from hitting three-pointers.

Ratliff is a flexible insider and is extremely good at blocking shots. His defense has had a great impact on Marion.

However, relying on the high number of shots, Marion scored 7 of 2 three-pointers in this quarter, breaking the half-time three-point record and tying the single-game three-point record.

Even with Marion's shooting percentage, the Raptors still beat the 76ers by five points in the second quarter.

In the second half of the game, Ratliff still defended Marion strictly.

Because he knows that Marion will shoot three-pointers, his defensive efficiency is much higher. In addition, Marion has played the entire first half consecutively, which consumes a lot of energy and affects his touch.

It wasn't until the fifth three-pointer in the second half that he finally made a hit.

As soon as he scored a goal, he hurriedly called a timeout to the technical table, and then asked Kumbu to leave the game.

He clearly knows that the reason why he can break the record is inseparable from the help of his teammates. If his teammates don't pass the ball to him, how can he have so many shots.

Daben was about to press the pass button, and when he grabbed an offensive rebound, he immediately went to Marion.

Now that he has broken the record, he feels that he can no longer eat the resources of his teammates. If he loses because of his low shooting percentage, it will be too embarrassing.

Combe nodded in agreement, and he also found that Marion's shooting percentage had dropped seriously.

10 three-pointers in a single game is not a record at all in the eyes of later generations. Many players have made them. The Splash Brothers have a similar number of three-pointers in a single game.

But Marion took 26 three-pointers tonight before he finally broke the record and hit 11 of them.

It seems that even if it is the easiest record to break, it is not so easy to break.

It is worth mentioning that the records Marion broke tonight are not only single-quarter, halftime and full-court three-point records, but he also broke the single-game three-pointer record by the way.

The previous record was 11 held by Fat Toutuo Walker, and Marion directly raised this record to 15.

Thanks to the Raptors and the Philadelphia 76ers, there is not much pressure to win. If it were any other team, no head coach would allow players to shoot three-pointers like this.

"Coach, thank you, you are really the best coach."

"I heard from Daben and the others that if the record is broken, everyone should buy a Rolex."

"I don't have much money now, can I buy it after I sign a big contract?"

Marion is a rookie, and his salary this year is only 70 after taxes are deducted.

The 70 yuan was not paid to him at one time, but every two weeks. Now he only gets paid twice, which is about [-] US dollars.

This little money is not enough to buy a Rolex for teammates.

"It's not necessary, just treat them to a meal." Kong Bu waved his hand and smiled.

After Marion left the field, the players on the field were more free, and their offensive rhythm became smoother.

The point difference was further widened, and for the first time in his career so far, Iverson had the idea of ​​surrendering.

In the previous game against the Raptors, even though the score was far behind, he was still high-spirited and scored good points every time, so he played happily and felt like the team lost and I didn't lose.

It's a pity that he has played in the league for the fourth year now, and he is no longer the fledgling kid before. He has new pursuits, and he wants to win.

Like the Raptors keep winning.

This is why he would talk to Kumbu about that before the game.

There is no absolute loyalty in the NBA. Many models of one man, one city have actually given birth to the idea of ​​leaving the team.

For example, Duncan almost went to the Magic.

For example, Kobe also threatened the management to leave the team.

For example, Nowitzki, because the boss Cuban did not strengthen the lineup after winning the championship, he also had the idea of ​​​​leaving the team.

If you really want to be loyal, the Heat's Haslem may be considered loyal, but he may have been in the Heat because he has no team status after leaving the Heat.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the Raptors scored 117:88 and won by 29 points.

Iverson was not efficient tonight. After all, Lagabel was playing against him, but he scored 37 points in the end, which was the highest score in the game. Not as tall as him.

Marion didn't have a single two-pointer tonight. He made 26 of 11 three-pointers and 2 of 1 free throws. He scored a total of 34 points.

Although the shooting percentage in the second and third quarters dropped sharply, the three-point shooting percentage of the audience was also 42.3%.

This is called inadvertently inserting willows and willows into shades. Combe never thought that Marion could break the record, especially the record related to three-pointers.

Just because the three-point calibration device is only valid for one month, during the regular season, Kumbu randomly found someone to bind it to avoid waste.

The playoffs start in mid-April. Kumbu can bind a player first, and then bind another player in mid-May, which happens to be the finals in early June.

At the end of the road trip, Combe led the Raptors back to court.

As soon as he arrived in Toronto, he received a call from Lao Wang. The United Arab Emirates had successfully signed the contract and gave him a salary of 20 a year.

Kumbu was overjoyed, Ah Lian will be 16 years old in a few months.

Now that it is in his hands, there is definitely no need to falsely report his age. Let him play in the CBA for three years until he is 19 years old.

In three years, Kumbu will definitely be able to get some task rewards that can improve the strength of the United Arab Emirates, and then he will be brought to the NBA in one step.
