Chapter 119 Promotion, Rewards, Points

In the second half, the Pistons pursued the victory, and the Knicks resisted to the death. Although there were some twists and turns, they still won the G4 game without any danger, eliminated the Knicks by a big score of three to one, and completed the first round promotion.

Zhou Quan played 16 minutes in the second half, a total of 34 minutes, making 5 of 13 shots, a field goal percentage of 38.5%, and 5 of 6 free throws. He scored 15 points, 5 rebounds, 9 assists, 3 steals, 1 block, 4 turnovers and 2 fouls.

Ewing continued to target him and stared at him.

What good could it be to be targeted by a super center with a very strong defense? In the second half, he scored another block. Ewing rushed out of the paint and slapped him once, causing his shooting percentage to be less than 40%.

Also made 4 turnovers.

After the game, in the TNT commentary box, Robert Guida took the statistics table and read: "As the core of the Knicks, Ewing scored 27 points in this game. He tried his best and his shooting percentage increased to 52%, which was higher than before.

Three games, but he alone can't save the Knicks."

Ringo Wilson said: "Tekken's statistics in this game are average, and the statistics in the entire series are, how can I say, pretty good.

In the first round, he averaged 37 minutes per game, 13.16 shots on 5.5 shots, including 1.5 on 3-pointers, 0.5 on 3-pointers, 33.3% shooting, 6.75 on 5.75 free throws, 17.25 points, 5.75 rebounds, 11.5 assists, 3.5 steals, 0.75 blocks, 3.75 turnovers, and 2.5 fouls.

.

The field goal percentage is 41.8%, the true shooting percentage is 51.6%, and the free throw percentage is 85.2%. These are all low and cannot reach the level of an excellent point guard.

That's exactly what I'm trying to say, if Iron Fist can't improve his offensive efficiency, he won't be able to become a good point guard.

To be honest, with a shooting percentage of just over 40%, any player in this league, I mean any player, can score so many points as long as he is given enough shots."

Hearing his partner publicly complaining about Zhou Quan, Robert Guida quickly responded: "Linger is just a rookie. You can't treat every rookie as a magician. His future is worth looking forward to. You must know that he is a point guard."

.OK, let’s talk about his assists.”

Ringo Wilson nodded and added: "Tekken's assists are indeed pretty good, with an assist-to-turnover ratio of 3.06, and his passing has reached the level of an excellent point guard.

In addition, his rebounding is also very good. Few point guards can grab so many rebounds. His defense is very good, averaging 3.5 steals per game.

But as we have mentioned many times, his shooting is 41.8%, which is not as good as the regular season. Although for most players in the league, it is normal that the playoffs are not as good as the regular season, but if he hopes to improve

, it’s best to improve his shooting skills.”

Robert Guida smiled helplessly. It seemed that his partner did have some opinions on Iron Fist and was keeping an eye on the hit rate.

Joe Dumars was the best player in the game. Zhou Quan sat on the bench and watched him being interviewed while chatting with Rodman and the others.

Rodman grabbed 17 rebounds today, taking most of the credit. Thanks to his efforts, the Pistons surpassed the Knicks in rebounding for the first time in this series.

After Joe Dumars finished the interview, everyone said goodbye to the fans and returned to the locker room.

In addition to the Pistons and Knicks tonight, there are also the Warriors and SuperSonics. When Chuck Daly finished his summary, the results of the game there also came out. The SuperSonics defeated the Warriors and advanced to the second round with a big score of three to one.

Zhou Quan got his own data for this game and the data for the entire first round series.

"This is troublesome. The shooting percentage and true shooting percentage are both too low. The bonus of +1 bounce is getting further and further away from me."

He summarized himself. In the first playoff series, his performance was still a bit rookie. In addition to his true shooting percentage being a little higher than the regular season, his field goal percentage and free throw percentage were not as good as in the regular season.

Fortunately, the system requirement is the average data per game for the entire playoffs, so he still has a chance to catch up.

"Hopefully the shooting will be better in the second round."

The defensive intensity in the playoffs is undoubtedly far higher than that in the regular season. It is understandable that the offensive efficiency is lower than in the regular season, but even the free throws are not as good as in the regular season. This can only be said to be caused by pressure, and he has to admit this.

Especially for free throws, there is no defender in front of you, and the shooting rate is actually less than 90%.

The day before yesterday, my basic shooting skills had been upgraded to level 94, including free throw shooting to level 98, two-point shooting to level 95, and three-point shooting to level 89.

For level 98 free throws, even if you can't hit 100 times, a 90% hit rate should be the bottom line.

He took a look at the system and found that after playing the first round of the series, his game experience increased from level 85 to level 86. If this continues, if he can reach the Eastern Conference Finals, he might be promoted to level 90. It seems that the playoffs are indeed training.

people.

At this time, Chuck Daly walked up to him with a statistic table. Rodman next to him quickly gave up his seat. The former sat next to him, pointed at the statistic table and said to him: "Iron Fist, I'll give it to you."

Please analyze your shooting situation."

"Okay." Zhou Quan nodded.

Chuck Daly said: "25% of your shots are currently at the basket, which is quite high for a point guard.

Isiah's rim shot rate in his career so far is only 16%, and Michael Jordan is currently only 29%."

Having said this, he pulled out a data sheet and said: "I have a statistic here, which is Jordan's offensive proportion in the last 100 games.

The basket offense was 27.1%, and the shooting rate was 74.3%. The near two-pointer, that is, the penalty area except the basket, was 15.5%, and the shooting rate was 32.3%. The two-point and far two-pointers were 49.6%, and the shooting rate was 51.1%. Three-pointers

The ball hit 7.8% and the shooting percentage was 38.3%.”

"Is Jordan's offensive efficiency at the basket so high?"

Zhou Quan was a little surprised. This was higher than the basket shooting percentage of the three super centers.

Chuck Daly said: "Jordan used to score more breakthrough layups, but after his pull-up jump shots got better and better, he took more mid-range shots, which reduced some of his scoring at the basket."

"There used to be more shots at the basket than now?" Zhou Quan continued to be surprised.

Chuck Daly said: "Jordan's current rim shooting percentage has reached 74.3, and his career is currently 71.5%. Isiah's career so far is 61.1%, and you are 56.2%."

Zhou Quan nodded, looked at the assassin next to him, and said: "My layup skills are indeed still a little lacking. It is understandable that my shooting rate at the basket is not high enough."

The assassin was stunned, as were everyone else. Was he too thick-skinned to a certain extent, or had his psychological quality reached a certain level to say such a thing?

Chuck Daly also twitched his face, and then said: "Your recent two-point shots accounted for 24%, which is similar to the shots under the basket, and the shooting rate is only 31.3%. In other words, in the paint area, you

The shot ratio has reached nearly 50%, but the hit rate is quite low."

Chuck Daly looked at Zhou Quan and smiled: "But Iron Fist, your shooting percentage in the past two points is not high enough, but Jordan's shots in the past two points are less than yours, and they are getting less and less. Do you know the reason?

"

Zhou Quan was startled, so he was stupid, his hit rate was so low, and he still shot with all his strength?

Chuck Daly said: "The two-point area will face a strong defense inside, and it is one of the areas with the lowest shooting rate among all shooting areas, including three-pointers.

Iron Fist, I ask you to reduce your shots in this area in the future and make more mid-two-point and long-distance two-point shots, can you do it?"

"Let me think about it." Zhou Quan thought about it.

The two-point area is an area of ​​one to three meters, just inside the paint area. The reason why he takes more shots in this area is because he makes too many breakthroughs. Although he has a full panoramic vision and can pass a lot of balls

, but many times there is no chance to pass the ball, so I can only force the shot by myself.

If you want to reduce the number of shots in this area, you have to reduce breakthroughs, or pull out after entering without any passing opportunities.

At this time, Chuck Daly said again: "Iron Fist, I suggest you strengthen your shots two points away, that is the most suitable shooting area for you.

You have the ability to make a strong breakthrough, but the breakthrough speed is not very fast, so when you continue to break in, it is easy to be double-teamed."

Zhou Quan nodded, of course he knew this. If he jumped the first player and got one or two steps inside the three-point line, he would be open.

But he is a point guard, not a small forward or shooting guard, so shooting is not his first choice. He said with some embarrassment: "Coach, but this way, I can't compress the opponent's defense and create openings for my teammates."

Chance."

Chuck Daly nodded and explained with a smile: "Iron Fist, this is a question of timing. This is a question about your ability. It is not a black and white question."

Zhou Quan understood immediately.

What Coach Daley means is that every attack changes, whether it is a break into the paint area or a mid-range shot, the choice must be made based on tactics, timing and changes on the field, rather than a rigid way of doing it.

With his current basic shooting skills, his two-point shot has reached level 95, which should be the top level. However, his finishing skills are a little worse. There are so many shooting methods, but none of them have reached the first-class level, which seriously drags down his shooting percentage and is a waste.

With his basic shooting skills, it’s no wonder the system issues so many shooting training tasks.

If he reduces his shots in the paint and adds some mid-range shots in the second round, will his shooting percentage be higher? You have to try it before you know.

Soon after, the post-match press conference was held.

On the Knicks side, a local reporter asked: "Coach Riley, now that the Knicks have been eliminated in the first round, were swept by the Bulls in the first round last year, and have been unable to advance to the second round for two consecutive years, what do you think they should do to advance to the second round?"

?”

The expression on Pat Riley's face was very calm, but he no longer had the confident smile he had in the past. When he heard this question, he said calmly:

"We will study the lineup during the offseason. After the trade window opens, maybe we will make some transactions."

The reporter asked: "According to relevant information, you will make adjustments to the inside lineup, but now what?"

Pat Riley said: "I'm sorry, I don't have any information that I can tell you at the moment. It's confidential."

The next question was from a local New York reporter, asking: "Coach Riley, Iron Fist deliberately humiliated Oakley on the court, which ultimately led to the Knicks being eliminated. Do you agree with this result?"

Pat Riley thought for a moment and then said: "Approved."

His answer obviously surprised many reporters, and the clicking of the shutter became more intensive instantly.

"Why do you need to approve it?" the reporter asked angrily.

Pat Riley shook his head helplessly and said: "Even if it was Iron Fist's intention, psychological warfare is part of the game, including trash talk, provoking each other to attack the opponent's psychology. Whoever loses his cool first will be defeated."

Be passive.
