LeBron James There is no three-point shooter around, just like there is no Jerusalem in the West! Starting from the Cavaliers 1.0 period, if you want to enter the playoffs , the division finals and even the finals, partnering with four sharp shooters for James is the safest answer! Korver , Rashard Lewis , Ray Allen , even though these stars are no longer at the peak, they can still shine around James. The reason is no different - with their outstanding personal ability and passing vision, James' ability to break through and pass is the first in history, but in today's Lakers, the 39-year-old Lakers superstar can't find anyone to pass the ball!
According to the US media BF, the six most accurate scorers on the outside last season (at least 50 three-pointers), Augustine reached 43%, and even Bazemore, who had the lowest shooting percentage, had a three-point shooting percentage of more than 36%. However, in the Purple and Gold Army team this season, Malik Monk, who played the peak season last season, left, veteran Anthony is still unwilling to watch in the free market, Augustine, Bradley and others left the team. Now the player with the highest three-point shooting percentage in the Lakers is actually the undrafted Matt Rian!
regular season officially started, but the Lakers, who are full of ambitions in the offseason, have a blow-off - facing the Clippers , Trail Blazers and the Warriors all lost, especially against the defending champion Warriors. Even though the Big Three outputs with all their strength, the Warriors, whose lineup is the No. 1 Warriors, who have made a little effort, made Ham's team loses the upper hand. The factors that affect the Lakers' winning are, in addition to the different degrees of decline of the Big Three, lack of outside shooting ability has become the absolute weakness of this Lakers. Among the five starting players of
, James actually had the highest three-point shooting rate, but it was still only 26%. In addition, Lonnie Walker was less than 20%, Davis was only 20%, Beverly 21%, and Westbrook even made 6 shots outside the three-point line, with only 1 hit! Who can shoot the ball into the damn basket outside the three-point line? Except for the undrafted Matt Rian, the huge Staples cannot find a qualified three-point shooter. As a superstar with its own "one-star four-shot" system, James is a clever man who can't cook without a meal.
About this famous reporter shams broke the news on social media that San Antonio Spurs' inside wing star Josh Richardson has been targeted by the Lakers. Spurs , which is currently in the reconstruction stage, hopes to get a first-round pick from Richardson in return, and the Lakers, who are currently on the edge of the cliff, are likely to agree to the deal. So is Josh Richardson really worth a first round pick? Can he save the current predicament of the Lakers' inaccurateness on the outside?
From the Heat period to now playing for the Spurs, Richardson has always been one of the best 3D players in the league. Last season, he represented , Celtics, and the Spurs made 65 games, and averaged 11 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists per game, with an astonishing 41.5% of the three-point shooting percentage, , and Richardson performed further this season. In the four games he played for the Spurs, although he averaged only 21 minutes of playing time, the Spurs No. 7 is the spokesperson for efficient shooters. While averaging 11.8 points per game, his shooting percentage from outside the three-point line was as high as 47.4%, ranking among the top 50 in the league.
Compared with himself who was good at attacking and defending at his peak, Richardson's defensive ability has declined significantly due to injury, but on the offensive end, especially outside the three-point line, the Spurs' wing performance has always been stable; you should know that if James and Davis have sharpshooters like Richardson, their opponents will be afraid of their three-point ability and dare not easily double-team the two; but now most teams face the Lakers, shorting the outside group led by Westbrook and boldly attacking James and Mei, which has become the way to win.
James has indeed declined, especially the defensive end is no longer as brave as he was; but his own "one-star four-shot" system is still there. With a reliable shooter on the outside, at least the Lakers' regular season record can be guaranteed. Now the Lakers think of Richardson, but will he be another Ray Allen , Korver-style sword-wearing guard?
