After the Clippers defeated the Thunder 120-106, they won six consecutive victories. The Western Conference's ranking once again suppressed the Lakers and became the league's first. Kawhi Leonard played 31 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks in the game. In the interview after the game, the small card said that the team's locker room did not discuss six-game winning streak, and we would not feel satisfied. It seems that the atmosphere in the Clippers' locker room this season is very good and it is for the championship.
An interview with Marcus Morris after the game sparked heated discussion. A reporter asked Xiao Mo. Are you surprised that 87% of your three-pointers are shot open? Xiao Mo replied: Really? We have 87% of three pointers open? Well, this shows how difficult it is to defend Paul and Kawhi. It shows how good they are. You have to defend them hard. We have resolved that 90% of the three-pointers are open for a reason. They will divide the ball after a double-team, and 87% of the three-pointers are open.
Subsequently, the Clippers reporter Tomar Hazard reported that according to the official NBA website, the Clippers had 559 three-pointers this season, 462 of which were open, and the open reached 82.6%. That is to say, 87% of the vacancy rate is a bit exaggerated, but 462 of 559 shots were vacant, which is enough for the sky.
A classic Clippers three-point tactic, Paul George made a breakthrough with the ball at the top of the arc, Zion scored Reggie with 45 degrees, Reggie made a second breakthrough to score the weaker corner of Batum, Batu Mu pretended to take a shot to attract the defensive post-ball waist of George, and George attacked the basket to attract the four-man defensive Ibaka who threw the outside line. Ibaka did not make a three-pointer in front of four meters.
This is why the Clippers can be the first three-pointer this season. The Clippers' three-point percentage this season is as high as 43.3%, which is 3% higher than the second Jazz. The Clippers average per game. 15.1 three-pointers also ranked third in the league. Both of these statistics suppressed the Lakers. The Lakers made 40% of their three-pointers and averaged 12.9 three-pointers per game.
Let’s take a look at the three-point shooting percentage of the Clippers.George 50%, Xiaomo 47.4%, Batum 47.1%, Kennard 46.4%, Beverly 43.1%, Xiaoka 41.5%, Kofi 42.9%. That's right, even Nicholas Batum has become a pitcher when he comes to this Clippers. How can this be reasonable?
Batum's three-pointer last season was very poor. He averaged 2.2 shots and 0.6 of his three-pointers per game. This season, Batum averaged 4.4 shots and 2.1 of three-pointers. With a rate of 47.1%, Batum not only made three-pointers bolder and more confident, but also had a surprisingly high shooting rate. The last game against the Thunder was 4 of 4 three-pointers, and the last two games were 9-of-7, which is too accurate.
Batum was originally just a blacksmith. He came to this Clippers because he had too many open three-point shots and he became a great pitcher. The Hornets cut his contract of more than 37 million, and he was awarded 1. Joining the Clippers with a base salary of 2.56 million a year, the Clippers are really making a profit.
