Embiid hasn't hit a three-pointer for a long time. 120 17 165438 hit a three-pointer against Magic 10 minutes and 25 seconds in the second quarter. On that day, he scored 18 points 14 rebounds and scored 19 points with the 76 ers. Every time Embiid hits a three-pointer, the hand in the air will make a three-pointer gesture, much like the "general" Arenas. I believe that if there is no task of rebounding, he will definitely enjoy performing a good show of "shooting three points and turning around to listen to the cheers and applause of the audience".
After playing 20 games this season, Embiid's three-point shooting percentage is only 13, and only 24. 1%, which is terrible for him. For the 76ers, Embiid's lack of three points is even more disappointing, because Embiid hit three points 10 games this season, and the 76ers won 70%. Whether Philadelphia can regain its glory is too important for the emperor's three-point touch.
Remember last year when Embiid just came back from injury? He hit 10 in the previous game 1 1 3-pointers, and his shooting percentage was terrible 50%. I also participated in his game report at that time. I still remember that ESPN wrote an article half-jokingly and half-seriously, saying, "In terms of the first 10 games of his career, Joel Spra Embiid made more three-pointers than Steven Curry. What does he want? "
Once boasted about Embiid's articles such as Snowflake, O 'Neill's Body, Big Dream Technology and Curry's Three Points, Embiid will lead the NBA to a new era. Now that a year has passed, Embiid, who can shoot three points, has indeed risen with the 76ers, which reminds me of a question: Who brought up the unhealthy trend of the center shooting three points?
So far this season, there are 8 center players who have averaged more than 3 shots per game in the league (Embiid only averaged 2.7 shots per game, not ranking). They are Horford of Celtic, Jokic of Nuggets, Downs of Timberwolves, Vucevic of Magic, Cousins and Bates of Pelicans, Lopez of Lakers and Gasol of Grizzlies.
These people fall into two categories, Horford, Lopez, Pau Gasol, Vucevic and even Cousins. These players all started from the traditional inside, and never hit a three-pointer in their early years, while Downs and Jokic are new centers who entered the league with the three-pointer technology. In the past two seasons, they have made more and more shots.
In the impression of many fans, the center only scored three points after the Warriors won the championship in 20 14- 15 season. Cousins did say something like, "Wow, I can win the championship with three points, so I'm going to practice three points." In this way, in the 20 15- 16 season, his three-point shots increased from 0. 1 a year ago to 3.2 times, and this year has reached 6.7 times, ranking 15 among all three-point players in the league, surpassing defenders like kemba walker and Devon Booker.
Also starting from the 20 15- 16 season, in the past three years, there were 2/kloc-0 center players who averaged more than three shots per game in a single season. In addition to the repeated names of the above-mentioned senior players, there are myles turner, kevin ollie Nick and, of course, channing frye, who is 14-65433.
However, this does not mean that no center will shoot three-pointers before the 20 14- 15 season. In addition to Frye, who was cultivated by the sun with D 'Antoni's legacy, there are four others.
Spencer Havice averaged 3.9 3-pointers in 20 13- 14. In the 2007-08 season, at the age of 65,438+09, he began his king career. In the second year, he averaged 1 1.4 points and 7. 1 rebounds. Kings break teams and never leave rookies. Three years later, his rookie contract was about to expire, and he was sold to the 76 ers by the King and became a teammate of Iguodala.
Shortly before leaving Sacramento, specifically, 20 10+ 1 In the game against the Lakers on June 0, Havice scored 30 points on 4 of 5 3-pointers, 1 1 rebounds and 5 assists, which was a turning point in his career. At the age of 76, he met two-time three-point champion jason kapono.
"When I attack, I always move habitually," Harvey said. Like all love in the world, it is not good for Harvey to fall in love with three points. Although he worked hard for three years, he hit a gratifying hit rate of 465,438+0.6% in the 2065,438+03-65,438+04 seasons. The 76 ers couldn't stand the instability that he had to charge ten times at a time and swept him out of the house.
In the same season, the league also had a center who averaged more than three points per game: Peroanti. If you have watched the eagle's two-year game, you should still remember how this big bald head as strong as an ox blew a three-point whistle on the outside. That season, he was also selected for the rookie challenge, but unfortunately, he returned to Europe after only two years in the NBA. Three-pointers by the center were the original sin of that year, as were the above two players and Byron Morans, who averaged 3.9 three points per game in the Bobcats in the 12- 13 season.
But one person is an absolute exception. He is also the starting point for center players to shoot three-pointers No center before him averaged more than three points per game. Since 1979 introduced three-pointers into the league, none of them have.
Mehmet okur, the nemesis of the Rockets and the sworn enemy of Yao Ming, still feels like a fan. If the Jazz hadn't eliminated the Rockets in the first round of the 2006-07 season, Yao Mai would have gone a long way that year. Many fans may not remember how the tiebreak rockets lost, and some people haven't even seen it, but I will never forget the last four minutes of that battle.
At that time, the Rockets were 88-9 1 behind, and Yao Ming used a basket to storm 2+ 1 to equalize the score. After the exchange of offense and defense, Jazz used Deron and Okur to pick and roll, Okur pulled out the three-point line, and Yao Ming couldn't keep up, so he brushed in one by one. Two minutes later, the Rockets struggled to catch up, with only 1 point. Jazz also cooperated, and Okur scored another three points. Okur hit two three-pointers in this campaign, both of which hit the waist line of the rocket. He made five three-pointers in less than four minutes. By the time Yao Ming made two free throws again, the Rockets were powerless.
"His explosive power is not particularly outstanding, but his technique is very good, especially shooting," Si Long said at the time. "He is very confident in his shooting, and his shots are bold, which gives us more tactical options." I still believe this is one of the few big bets in Si Long. The bet is that Yao Ming has reached the physical limit and can't follow Okur to the three-point line. He also succeeded in gambling and eliminated the rockets.
For more than 20 years, Si Long has been a master of pick and roll. Everyone knows that Malone's connection with stockton almost overturned Jordan, but their pick-and-roll has always been an inside shot and a mid-range jumper. After all, the inside three-pointer was going to be hit by the board. Then Okur came and opened the door to a new world for Si Long. His three points, Boozer's jumper and Deron's breakthrough made the Jazz stand firm in the league.
But even if the jazz experiment is successful, Okur's existence is unique. From 2006 to 2008, he was the only center in the league with three-point privilege. In the 20 1 1- 12 season, Okur, who switched to the shooting net, still averaged 4.2 3-pointers per game. Unfortunately, without the support of Si Long's tactical system and Delong's passing, his 3-point hit rate dropped to 3 1.9%. A year later, Okur retired sadly.
