The Lakers made 1 of 10 three-pointers in the game, including 5 misses.
The Eagles made 0 of 7 three-pointers, including three misses.
There was no problem during training, and it looked okay when playing against the Clippers and Kings. However, after the new version of the three-point line distance was implemented, the long two-point shots in the high post area of ??the Lakers were affected. Zhang Hao and Ken This is true for Nie Anderson, let alone anyone else.
In this case, the adjustment was very simple. The two teams tacitly compressed the shooting area to within the distance of the free throw line.
With the free throw line as a reference, you will be more courageous when taking a shot.
However, it will be difficult for the Lakers to play within this distance without O'Neal
Zhang Hao and Brian Shaw, Doug Christie, Sean Lukes, Jason Williams, Rick Fox and others tried their best to compete with the Hawks defensively and grab rebounds.
Zhang Hao made 15 free throws in the game, setting a new season high. He made 14 of 15 free throws, but only made 6 of 18 shots. Two of them were scored on counterattacks, and he missed a three-pointer. He scored 26 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 blocks. Jason Williams scored 14 points and 19 rebounds, and the two of them scored 40 points and 30 rebounds together. However, the rest of the Lakers only combined for 41 points The two of them scored more points than all the other teammates combined!
Fortunately, the Eagles' already poor offense was more affected.
Under the leadership of the two, the Lakers defeated the Hawks in a thrilling 81-77 manner, improving their record to 27 wins and 4 losses!
¡¡
The first day when the new version of the three-point line was implemented, that is, the first day in 1998, can be said to be the day with the most three-pointers in the history of the NBA.
There were a total of 7 games today, with 14 teams participating. There were a total of 71 missed shots, 63 of which were three-point shots in the top arc area.
Dong Qiaodan and Xi Zhanghao are the most eye-catching.
Jordan made 0 of 3 three-pointers in the top arc area, all of which were three-pointers. Zhang Hao made 0 of 4 three-pointers in the top arc area, three times of three-pointers, and one time he used too much force and hit the basket on the neck.
With the impact of the extension of the three-point line, one of the possibilities predicted by experts has emerged-not only will it not increase the average points per game, but it will cause the average points per game of the league's teams to plummet in a short period of time.
Today¡¯s 7 games, 14 teams, only the Suns scored more than 100 points, all other teams scored below 100 points, of which as many as 9 teams, more than half, scored below 90 points!
There is also a very strange team - the Spurs. They only took 2 three-pointers in the game, and they made 0 of 2 shots. They took 78 shots in the game, 76 of which were inside the three-point line.
Under this circumstance, the first discussion after the implementation of the new regulations on "should the three-point line be extended" started among the major media. Discussions also began in online forums and private fan gatherings
¡¡
At 12 o'clock in the morning on the second day of the game against the Eagles, Zhang Hao opened his eyes and entered learning mode.
The system prompt came immediately!
¡°The NBA three-point line adjustment officially came into effect on January 1, 1998. Part of the three-point line from the 45-degree turning point on both sides to the top arc area was extended, and the farthest top arc three-point line distance was extended to 7.25 meters.
After the adjustment, the comprehensive situation analysis, calculation and judgment on the first match day, the three-point evaluation of special contract player Zhang Hao was adjusted to: 80 (82 three-pointers in the top arc area, 79 in the remaining positions). "
This Nima, with a eyes of the top -level ability evaluation of 90, is still backward!
Zhang Hao is very lucky. Fortunately, he remembered it at the beginning of the offseason. It seems that just before the lockout or something, the three-point line distance will be readjusted back to the three-point line distance before 1994. He has specially practiced it. Recently, he also There are many shots in the game and hard practice after the game. Otherwise, you won't even be at this level.
Now, his three-point level has basically returned to the level in the middle and late stages of his rookie season, but the difference is that now his three-pointers in each area are almost the same
Fortunately, Zhang Hao¡¯s original shooting distance from the three-point line was already at a quasi-top level of 89. Now it has been integrated into the two-point distance from the farthest distance, which has not affected his comprehensive evaluation of mid-range shots.
¡°Sure enough, there are different versions of gods from generation to generation
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? What will happen to Boss Qiao?
But the extension of the three-point line makes me??A team like the Spurs may not decline due to the extension of the three-point line in the top arc area, and it is not necessarily possible that it will rise.
There are many problems, such as habit, which is difficult to change.
The previous early adaptation stage was about self-adaptation, having psychological expectations, and knowing how far to shoot from the three-point line.
But when it comes to playing against a strong defensive team, the opponent intensifies the confrontation. Their Lakers pitchers react on the spot and withdraw from the top arc to shoot or run to the top arc to catch the ball and turn around to shoot. They may habitually shoot with the original intensity. .
You have to aim, the opportunity has been missed again, if you don't shoot, it is very likely that there will be a dead ball situation, and it will eventually become a forced shot.
The key is that it doesn¡¯t mean that you can shoot two-pointers according to the original three-point line. Even long-two shooters of the level of Zhang Hao and Kenny Anderson made mistakes in judging the position of the long two-pointer when playing against the Hawks. Condition.
This kind of thing sounds simple but is actually very difficult to do.
Zhang Hao did not directly say how to solve the problem, but took out the unedited videotape, adjusted the time, and started talking about the first round when he encountered the problem.
Then continue to adjust the time and talk about the second round of problems
After talking about this, more than an hour passed. Zhang Hao started to talk about the good rounds and the good defensive adjustments the Eagles made after the space inside the three-point line became larger
In a blink of an eye, more than three hours passed.
But not only did the teammates not feel impatient, it was past lunch time, and no one complained. Only the figure of Jenny Bass, who turned into a waitress, delivering energy drinks to Zhang Hao moved.
Some teammates¡¯ bladders were about to burst, but they did not interrupt Zhang Hao¡¯s continuous analysis.
During last year¡¯s finals, old teammates experienced Zhang Hao¡¯s excellent analytical skills, but this time, they were even more shocked!
Zhang Hao analyzed last night¡¯s game today! Zhang Hao seemed to have studied every round of the 48-minute game, recorded the required time points, analyzed them, and told them about it!
This is very important for every player on the Lakers. They can more clearly understand the impact of changes in the three-point line on them.
At this time, someone interrupted me, someone went to pee, but I didn¡¯t know how to express myself.
Not to mention the players, Silver Fox and his coaching staff were stunned!
Last night, they worked overtime until after two o'clock, and they just discussed the impact on them in last night's game, and the study game hadn't even started yet.
After sleeping for a few hours, I received news that there was going to be a team meeting, and they were here. I originally thought that Zhang Hao wanted everyone to discuss it In fact, after Zhang Hao analyzed it, he asked everyone to brainstorm and propose suggestions. How to solve the problem, how to use the available points, a small notebook that recorded the time points and key points of his analysis, and asked Jenny Buss to help print it out and copy it to the coaching staff, teammates and videographers
Zhang Hao just analyzed last night's game and didn't directly say how he wanted to change it. He didn't have the ability yet, so he thought of a way overnight.
Even just like this, it has already made Silver Fox feel a huge crisis!
But I have to say that Zhang Hao has analyzed all these things, which is definitely a good thing for Silver Fox, who is in urgent need of thinking of ways to adjust his tactics!
"Am I getting old and can't keep up with the times? No, I'm still a very good coach! Wait, what job did I take last month? Be the head coach of the Chinese team? Can I resign? "
¡¡
With Zhang Hao¡¯s help, the coaching staff¡¯s work is progressing more smoothly.
As for teammates, how much Zhang Hao¡¯s analysis can help them depends purely on the individual. For example, Jason Williams and Ben Wallace listened to it for a long time as if they were listening to a book from heaven.
Although they don¡¯t know what the specific meaning is, they just think it¡¯s awesome.
And people like Brian Shaw, Rick Fox, Kenny Anderson, O'Neal and Fisher all actively put forward their ideas to the assistant coach Kurt Rambis who is responsible for this aspect.
The Lakers do not want to play it safe and take one step at a time like some teams do. They want to take advantage of the changes, but adjustments cannot be made in a day and must be taken slowly.
Soon, the two rest days passed by, and on January 4th, the game day against the 76ers arrived.
I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
