(46) The history of the three-point shot

"Me?" Maddie has always been convinced of Jason, but this time it feels inexplicable. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Not only Maddie, but the vast majority of players find it strange. Maddie is obviously the best player in recent times, and if it weren't for Maddie carrying the team forward, the Rockets don't know how many games they would have lost.

"Since the Dec. 9 win against the Spurs, you've had no more than four assists in seven consecutive games. Tracy, you've become 'alone,' it's not your style of basketball. In the past, you were more willing to distribute the ball and be more willing to let everyone play with you. Instead of going up and playing on your own, although you score a lot of points, it will inevitably cause psychological pressure on your teammates and make your teammates' hands feel cold. ”

Bosh looked at Maddie with some nervousness. For him as a rookie, Maddie is the team's number one superstar, and he needs to look up to it. And this high-flying superstar is facing criticism by name by a manager who is so young and can't play, will Maddie be angry? Jason is so direct, isn't he afraid to create conflicts within the team?

"I really should review. I have to admit that I've had some mental problems lately. Maddie confessed his mistake, and several people around him breathed a sigh of relief.

"I missed out on the scoring title last season, and I don't mind that. Lately, I've been looking at how other stars are doing, consciously or unconsciously, and seeing Stuttgakovic score 41 points yesterday [against the Grizzlies], I'm more concerned. I can even recite that Pierce scored 41 points on the 13th and Duncan scored 47 points (against the Magic) on the 5th. Maddie explained sincerely: "Actually, I know that this mentality is wrong, but sometimes I don't want to face myself, and I hope everyone will forgive me for my selfishness." ”

"Tracy, there's no need for you to apologize."

"It's all thanks to you that we can have such a good record."

"It's up to you to score more!"

"Alright, okay, don't sensationalize, boys." Tang Shuai immediately came out to clear the siege, "I believe Tracy will definitely get more than one scoring title, you have the ability." I also believe that you don't need to deliberately shoot more, you will definitely be able to win the scoring title on the basis of sorting out the whole team's offense. ”

"I'm going to criticize the coaching staff, Rudy, listen up." Yuan Fei continued without hesitation, "Our coaching staff is excellent, but it is always too big. Against the Pacers, we had the advantage in terms of strategy, but we were a little less tactically detailed. Of course, our style has always been to advocate for players to be a little more creative on the offensive end, and that's fine. In terms of the tactical design of key balls, I hope the coaching staff will still strengthen it. ”

"That's a good suggestion, and I remember it." Tang Shuai nodded with satisfaction, not feeling the slightest loss of face.

"And then there's Chauncey, you've always had a good sense of the big picture, but you're a little bit weaker. Playing against a strong interior defense is the right time to play to your shooting strengths, and don't forget that you're one of the best point guards in the league. Yuan Fei continued to criticize: "To expand it, our outside players have this common problem, when they encounter a solid defense, their mentality is unbalanced, they dare not shoot, they are afraid of hitting iron, and they are afraid of losing." You learn from Bryant, you learn from Iverson, they always stick to their offense in the face of tough defenses and create shots. We at the Rockets do advocate playing sensibly, but not every ball can be played sensibly in the ever-changing space on the court. When encountering a strong defense, you still need self-confidence to make a strong shot. I counted the long shots from the last game, Maddy was 2-of-6 from three-point range, Reed was 1-of-4, Turkoglu was 0-of-3, Jefferson was 0-of-1, Billups was 1-of-3, Oku was 0-of-2, and Parker was 1-of-1. 5 out of 20 in the team, failing. ”

The perimeter players all bowed their heads and felt ashamed.

"But if you think about it, is it the opponent who defends well or does we shoot badly? The Pacers are a defensive powerhouse, but their defensive core is at the two points of the barrier O'Neal Jr. and Gate Artest. The defense of the defenders was not particularly outstanding, especially in the third quarter, where our small lineup had a lot of good shots, but most of them didn't take advantage of them. If we had felt better and had made a few more shots, even if it was 7-of-20, we might have won the game. And 7 out of 20 is not as good as our average. ”

"Jason, can I take the liberty of saying a few words?" Bosh said timidly, and when he saw Yuan Fei nodding, he mustered up the courage to continue: "Isn't there always a saying in the basketball industry that those who have the inside line win the world, and the team that relies on jump shots can't go far." ”

"Chris's question is good, let me explain: basketball has been invented for more than 100 years (the American Naismith invented basketball in 1891), and the game of basketball has been constantly changing and developing for more than half a century. Usually we think of 1976, which is the NBA and ABA league (the National Basketball Association, the high-level basketball league that was on par with the NBA, with Dr. J and Moses. Superstars such as Malone) merger is seen as a landmark event entering the modern basketball era. The introduction of the three-point line was not implemented in the NBA until the 79-80 season. Chris, you think about it, three-point shooting has only been developed in the NBA for more than 20 years. Compared to the more than 100-year history of basketball, the history of the three-point shot is too short, so people are inevitably biased against it. "I happen to have a piece of information in my notes: In the 1990-91 season, each team in the league averaged 586 three-pointers and shot 32 percent from the field. There was a time in between when the league drew the three-point line closer in order to promote the three-point shot, and this time is not discussed. By the 1997-1998 season, the three-point line was back to normal, and the team averaged 1,042 three-pointers this season and shot 34.6 percent from the field. In other words, after this promotion of the league, the number of three-point shots has almost doubled, and the shooting rate has increased instead of decreasing. And what about last season? The league team averaged 1,204 three-pointers and shot 34.9% from the field, so this is the era when three-point shooting is getting stronger and stronger, and shooting three-pointers is the general trend. And Chris, the statement you mentioned is the old saying, there was no three-point shooting in the 70s, of course, the one who has the interior wins the world. This old concept will slowly not work with the development of the new tactical system. ”

"Looks like I'm really going to have to ask you for advice!" Bosh was convinced. Just talk about basketball theory, Jason. The king is really powerful.

"Will the number of three-pointers be more and more in future games?" Reed asked. He's the team's number one pitcher, and he's most concerned about that.

"Absolutely. Using the data I just mentioned, the league-wide scoring rate in the 90-91 season was 48.7%, the three-point shot was equal to 1.5 two-pointers, and the shooting rate of 32% was equivalent to the true scoring rate of 48%, which means that the three-point scoring efficiency and other scoring methods were about the same and slightly lower. But by the '97-98 season, the league's athletic scoring rate was 47.8 percent, and the three-point scoring rate had increased to 51.9 percent, which meant that the three-point shot had evolved into a significantly higher than average, more efficient way of scoring. ”

"That said, we're right to shoot threes a lot. It feels bad by accident. Reid continued to ask.

"Basically correct. But this regular three-point shooting has to go back to the topic of 'reasonable and unreasonable' in the past. Basketball games should be about relaxation, and in the face of high-intensity defense, it is inevitable that there will be some reluctant shots, but we still try to find open opportunities to better shoot threes. You can't just shoot blindly to shoot more threes. Yuan Fei continued to explain: "As for the feel, anyone can strike iron. Who do you think is the best pitcher in the league? ”

"Reggie. Miller""Ray. Aaron""Mike. Miller"" Steve. Nash: "There are all kinds of voices.

"Okay, okay, let's say Reggie. Miller's more. I'll use him as an example. Yuanfei tapped a few times on his laptop, retrieved the information, and read: "On March 30, 01, Miller scored 4 points on 2-of-18 shooting against the Celtics, including 0-of-8 three-pointers; On Feb. 26 of this year, again against the Celtics, Miller scored nine points on 2-of-14 shooting and 1-of-10 from three-point range. And that's not all, he had one 1 out of 10 and one time 0 out of 8 in the 90s. But if he missed eight three-pointers in a row in yesterday's game, would you dare to let him shoot? ”

Several outside players thought about it and shook their heads.

"The threat of a shooter is not lost by a few attempts that don't feel good. Anyone will not be able to shoot in a row, but don't lose confidence in your technical style of play because of this. Maybe the success is the next goal. ”

"Well said, believe in the archery skills that you have trained hard all the time." Billups also encouraged his teammates.

"The next game is going to play the Lakers, the Lakers have O'Neal and Malone, the two superstars of the twin towers, and we can't fight them inside. If you want to win, you have to rely on three-point shots! Tang Shuai also expressed his opinion, "It's better to just practice shooting this afternoon, everyone go home early to rest for Christmas Eve, and take a plane to Los Angeles tomorrow, merrychristmas." ”
