Chapter 162: Traditional Point Guard Data
At the end of the first quarter of the game, the data of Li Tuanjie and Mike Reed finally looked better, Li Tuanjie contributed 5 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, while Reed broke out in the second half of the game, scoring 9 points!
The score was 30:21, and the Cavaliers still led by nine points.
"Do you want to increase the number of three-point shots, according to this scoring rhythm, if our Bucks don't increase the number of three-point shots, it will be difficult to catch up with the Cavaliers' score with only two-point shots!" Li Tuanjie thought in his heart.
The Cavaliers team, whether it is a mid-range shot or a breakthrough on the offensive end, is quite powerful, but the shortcomings are also obvious, there is no three-point strength, although Larry Hughes has three-point strength, but his shooting rate is not high, only about 35%, and the average number of three-point shots per game is not much, only about two three-point shots!
It can be said that the Cavaliers' scores are all steady and steady, and there is no scoring explosiveness!
Ruben Patterson was saddled with three fouls in the first quarter and didn't play again at the beginning of the second quarter, and Stotts sent the hairless hero Villanueva on the court for the first time......
There is no doubt that the biggest purpose of Veranieva's appearance is to rely on his height and weight to limit LeBron James!
The Bucks small forward itself does not need to be aggressive, just need to do a good job of defensive tasks, after all, there are two attackers on the offensive end, Li Tuanjie and Mike Reed, which are basically enough.
Villanueva's appearance has indeed caused a lot of trouble to James, the hairless man's athleticism is good, his height and arm span strength are good, and he himself plays the position of a blue-collar power forward, and now he is defending small forward James, and the effect is very good.
After James' rampage under the basket was somewhat limited, he turned to organize his teammates' offense, still holding the ball by himself, and then splitting the ball, the inside big Z and the outside Larry Hughes have got a lot of offensive opportunities!
On the Bucks' side, Li Tuanjie decided to increase the number of three-point shots to chase points, and it just so happened that the hairless hero also appeared, and in terms of the quality of the blocking, the hairless hero must be much stronger than Boykins or Ruben Patterson.
With the help of Villanueva's blocking, Li Tuanjie is like a three-point maniac, with a somewhat awkward shooting posture, although it is not very eye-catching, but the shooting speed is extremely fast, and it often only takes a moment of blocking and dismantling time, Li Tuanjie can smoothly use the "Alien Three-Point Projection" skill to project the basketball in his hand.
The only pity is that this alien three-point shooting skill is a little faster, but it can't increase Li Tuanjie's crosshair......
Li Tuanjie's three-point shooting rate, when he feels good, can even reach about 50% of the shooting rate, but if he feels upset, the shooting rate will be so low that it will be less than 30 percent.
The first two three-point shots, Li Tuanjie was two in one, and the situation was not bad, but the next two three-point shots were all iron!
And Mike Reed also knows the purpose of Li Tuanjie's increase in three-point shots, and he gradually increases his three-point shots, Reed's three-point strength definitely belongs to the level of the league's upper echelons.
In the first three seasons of his career, except for the first season, he didn't get a chance to play, and the three-point shooting rate in the second and third seasons was as high as about 44 percent!
Last season, Reed averaged 5.2 three-point attempts per game, but his three-point shooting percentage was still at a 40 percent!
It can be said that Reed's three-point strength is definitely more stable than Li Tuanjie!
Li Tuanjie made 1 of 4 three-pointers and killed a person, while Mike Reid was 2 of 3, and the three-point shooting rate of 3 of 7 was reasonable......
If it weren't for Reed's stable three-pointer, I'm afraid the Bucks' point differential would have been further widened now......
"Don't worry, brother, just let go of the cast! Against the Cavaliers, our team's lineup, losing is considered a normal performance, and if you win, you will be considered a big bargain, so you don't have to worry, just open the shot! Mike Reed smiled and patted Lee on the shoulder.
I have to say that Mike Reed has a very good mentality......
This kind of mentality is considered to be "no quarrel with the world", which is a very good mentality, so that the players will not have too much pressure, but the players who hold this mentality are not suitable to be the boss of the team!
A qualified boss must have an almost paranoid desire to win, and apparently Mike Reed does not have this desire!
Li Tuanjie heard Reed's words, smiled and nodded.
Even if Reed didn't say this, Li Tuanjie didn't worry about his hit rate at all! It's only been four shots, and the game has just entered the second quarter, so it's still early!
Drew Gooden, who is opposite Li Tuanjie, has the physical fitness of the defense, but his attention is a little inattentive, and there will be a distraction when something happens, Li Tuanjie's shot speed is extremely fast, as long as he grabs the moment when Gudeng is distracted, he can complete a shot!
It can be said that Gooden's defense is not very threatening here in Li Tuanjie, and Li Tuanjie's several misses in the front have nothing to do with Gooden's defense, it is completely that Li Tuanjie himself has no feeling!
"I don't believe it, is it possible that my hand will continue to cool down like this?!" Li Tuanjie is a little unbelieving!
In the next offensive round, as long as Li Tuanjie gets the opportunity to shoot, he will definitely shoot outside the three-point line, and there are some signs of improvement in the shooting rate!
At the end of the first half, Li Tuanjie made a total of 8 three-point shots, hitting 3 of them, with a shooting rate of 37.5 percent, which is not bad!
Throughout the first half, in addition to hitting three three-pointers, Li Tuanjie also made a foul outside the three-point line by Gooden, hit two of the three free throws, and cut down 11 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists.
The stats are not eye-catching, and the shooting percentage is not high, and it took 10 shots to score 11 points......
Overall, Li Tuanjie's performance in the first half of the game cannot be said to be very good!
Mike Reed's scoring data is much better than that of Li Tuanjie, scoring 14 points in 8 shots in the game, and the efficiency is very good!
Compared with the data of the Bucks twin stars, LeBron James's data is much better, with 16 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists in the half!
If you look at this data alone, people who don't know will think that this is the data played by traditional point guards!
The score of the game is 58:45, and the Cavaliers are still leading by 13 points!
Judging from the current situation, if the Bucks twin stars can't show huge scoring explosiveness in the second half, then the Cavaliers have basically won today's game!
