Chapter 140 Shooting Three Points and Defending Three Points
After the game against the Spurs, the Bobcats will face the Warriors the next day.

The Bobcats, who had just endured the baptism of the Spurs' three-point rain, came to usher in another three-point team.

The Warriors are currently 13 wins and 7 losses, and they can be ranked fifth in the West, above the Malay Bear Ship.

Last season, the Warriors were the third-to-last in the Western Conference. This year, under the guidance of Mark Jackson, who coached for the second year, their record has improved significantly. Currently, they can only be ranked in the bottom half of the Western Conference playoffs. It's just too fierce.

The Bobcats have just lost and are about to face the menacing Warriors. The training on the day between the two games is naturally unavoidable.

During the training, the Bobcats players checked the Warriors game video and listened to the coach analyze the Warriors' shooting level and usual style of play.

The Bobcats are afraid of shooting for the Spurs, and they definitely don't want the Warriors to have another three-point baptism.

The two teams have similarities. From the perspective of basic data, the Warriors and Spurs averaged about 8 three-pointers per game, ranking 7th or 8th in the league according to the number of goals scored.This shows that in terms of numbers, the Warriors definitely have the strength of three-point bursts.

Moreover, the Warriors are currently the only team in the league with a three-point shooting rate of more than 4%, which is almost 3 percentage points higher than the Spurs. Divide into brigades.

When Chen Xiao listened to the coach's analysis of the Warriors in the training class, he took a look at the current data analysis of all the teams in the league. The top three-point shooting percentages were all strong teams.For example, the Thunder, Spurs, Heat, Knicks, and Warriors happen to be the five teams with the most accurate three-pointers.And there are two top two teams in the West and top three teams in the East.

As for the only Bobcats in the top three in the Eastern Conference that are not listed here, they are currently ranked 35th in the league with a three-point shooting percentage of just over 20%. There are also strong league teams under the Bobcats. The Grizzlies—shoot three-pointers Least team.

It was agreed during the offseason to play one-star four-shot. You must know that the template of one-star four-shot Magic in the past few years averaged 10 three-pointers per game and a shooting rate of about 38%. Four shot to the extreme.

On the Bobcats side, there were only a few games off the bench, and Gordon, who made 39% of his three-pointers, was the only main rotation player above the team's average. The other players, Walker, Henderson, Mullens, Se Shensdu only made 31% to 35% of his threes.

The more I look at Chen Xiaoyue, the more I feel that I have made a lot of contributions. The Bobcats are today thanks to me. Without me working hard in the paint, they can get to where they are now, they can't.

And most of the time, it is very reasonable to choose to play hard by yourself. After all, 35% of the three-pointers are converted to 52.5% of the two-pointers, not to mention that the two-pointers can be subdivided into mid-range shots from the basket, close range, and distances.

Most of the offenses are launched close to the paint area, and Chen Xiao, who finishes in the paint area, has a high production rate and a hit rate of more than 5%.

Among the centers, 5% does not seem to be too high, and there are a few centers with more than 5%.But that's because at the top of the list are all pure pie-eating centers, Jordan Jr., Chandler, and Zhuang Shen. More than 6% of their shots are completed at the basket, so the shooting rate can be low.

If Chris from the Clippers can be brought to Charlotte, Chen Xiao also wants to experience the feeling of eating cakes until he vomits.

Coach Dunlap is also discussing the team's issues with the assistants. As a new coach, he is not complacent because of the current No. [-] in the Eastern Conference, but is prepared for danger in times of peace.

"Three-point shots are getting more and more important in the league now, and we have one of the best centers. He can post up and pass the ball at the same time. If the perimeter players can put the goddamn three-pointers in the basket, We can definitely compete against top teams like Thunder and Spurs." Assistant coach Rick Brunson spoke first, aiming at the Spurs' three-point offensive.

Assistant coach Silas looked at the players' three-point shooting again and said: "We said before that we should pay attention to outside shooting and not waste the space created by Chen Xiao, but we just said more and did less. We can arrange more shooting training. If we can improve the shooting rate or maintain the shooting rate and increase production, we can greatly improve our competitiveness."

As the chief assistant, Brian Winters has a different opinion, "Maybe we should put defense first. Look at the Grizzlies who have outstanding performance this year. They shoot the fewest three-pointers in the league. We can win so many at the moment." The opponent still relies on our strong inside defense, if we can do a good job in the connection between inside and outside defense, and strengthen the blockade of outside threat points, we can rely on defense to win."

At this time, Dunlap, who had finished listening to the opinions of the three assistant coaches, was a little embarrassed. Although he is now sitting as the head coach as a college assistant coach, he mainly brainstorms and discusses the affairs of the team. It's just that he, who is responsible for the development of young players in the college basketball team, is actually not very good at tactics and training.

Winters is a veteran, and Silas is a landowner. The views represented by the two are also reasonable, and it is inappropriate to lean towards either side.

"It's a good idea. Maybe we can use a two-pronged approach, strengthening three-point training and practicing perimeter defense. Brian, Stephen, you can think of a specific training plan, and then we will adjust the training content." Both fish and bear's paws think Dunlap thinks he is good at what he wants, and if he doesn't make a choice, the Bobcats want it all.

……

"Welcome, Dell." Before the game, Chen Xiao hugged Dell Curry, who was watching the game today.

Of course, Dell Curry didn't just come to see the Bobcats game. He must be here today to watch his eldest son Stephen Curry's performance on the court.

"Today's Warriors don't have great basic skills. As a Charlotte fan, I really look forward to your ravaging the Warriors' basket." Dell Curry said with a smile.

Stephen Curry was dumbfounded when he heard that Cousin was expecting Chen Xiao to ravage the basket, but he was a die-hard fan of the Charlotte Hornets growing up in Charlotte, and he is still a Charlotte fan now, but the Bobcats after all It's not the old Hornets, and the terrible record in the past few years made him gradually reduce the attention of the Bobcats. This year, the successful recovery of the Bobcats, which has recovered a bit violently, still makes him very happy.

He is also no stranger to the person who led the rise of Bobcats, his brother Seth's friend Chen Xiao.

"Welcome back to Charlotte, Stephen." Chen Xiao shook hands with Curry who had met once. Not long ago, Chen Xiao ate turkey and watched football at Curry's house on Thanksgiving.

"Yeah, even though I'm on the visiting team now, as a kid who grew up in Charlotte, I'm proud of your contribution to the Charlotte community." Curry praised Chen Xiao, and at the same time said to Ku Dad next to him Sentence: "The previous Hornets have never reached the No. [-] position in the East."

"Yes, under Dave's coaching in 97, we ended up fourth in the Eastern Conference, but we never took the number one spot in the Eastern Conference during the season. Chen, I look forward to your ranking in April next year. But at least, you will There is absolutely no problem with your promise." Dell Curry knew the history of the old Hornets very well, and after responding to his eldest son, he continued to talk to Chen Xiao.

Dell is in a good mood recently. The local team's record has improved by leaps and bounds. The eldest son has performed better after returning from injury and completing an early contract extension. He is currently averaging nearly 20 points per game, and his youngest son has also entered the NBA.

The only thing is that the Spurs can’t make it to the official game. If I can come to Charlotte with the team and play in the game two days ago, it will be a very memorable moment in my life. The father and son have officially set foot on the summer The floor of Lott's local NBA team.

……

After the greetings, the game is about to begin.

"Welcome Warriors No. 30, Stephen Curry, who grew up in Charlotte, attended Charlotte Christian High School in high school, and attended Davidson College in college!"

Today's appearance ceremony, when Stephen Curry played, the audience gave a lot of cheers. It was not uncommon for old fans to see the old Curry and the young Curry appearing in the Charlotte Arena at the time 30 years ago. Curry, who grew up growing up, can be said to be the son of Charlotte.

Fans also discussed how great it would be if Curry could be selected at that time.Especially the fans who have just experienced the baptism of the Spurs three-pointers are even more salivating for Curry, who is currently averaging 42.5% of the three-pointers per game this season.

The starters for the Bobcats in this game are still Walker, Henderson, Middleton, Mullens and Chen Xiao.

The starting five for the visiting Warriors are point guard Stephen Curry, shooting guard Klay Thompson, small forward Harrison Barnes, power forward David Lee, and center Festus Ezeli.

In this game, the Warriors' main center Bogut was unable to play, and the inside line could only be started by the 30th overall rookie Ezeli and David Lee.

Coming to the court with his teammates, Chen Xiao scanned the court and the sidelines, Barnes, Ezeli, Draymond Green, these are all players from his own class, except Ezeli from Vanderbilt University Chen Xiao didn't have direct contact with them and didn't know much about them. Needless to say, Barnes, the North Carolina Blackhawks, had played against each other twice in the ACC league, and they are still tied.Michigan State's Green Crazy Three was eliminated by Duke.

When they came to the center and stood face to face with Ai Zeli, a bald man walked over from the sidelines.

The referee is still No. 17 referee Joey Crawford.

Facing Aizeli, who is 2 meters tall, Chen Xiao steadily helped the Bobcats win the ball.
