In fact, for professional players, shooting is also a talent. Some players are born with excellent shooting, and with some practice, they will definitely improve. However, some players do not have this talent, no matter how much they practice, they will not be able to shoot well.
It is also difficult to make much improvement.
Many people are criticizing Lonzo Ball's shooting, but in fact, do you think Lonzo Ball doesn't want to practice shooting well?
Even though he persisted in making great efforts on this, he had little effect. If he didn't have that kind of talent, he just didn't have it, and it would be useless no matter how much he practiced.
Of course, Lonzo Ball has his own understanding of basketball. As a point guard, he feels that as long as he organizes the team's offense in series, he is already good, and scoring is just a means to help the team win.
This is a style of play he often adopts in some important games.
But now, it doesn't matter, he really wants to see this second-round pick who suddenly emerged.
The Lakers' offense faced Jiang Hao's defense. Just when everyone thought Lonzo Ball was going to pass the ball, this guy did the opposite and completed the shot directly against Jiang Hao's defense.
Whoosh!
And he also hit a shot, a three-pointer that hit the net.
Jiang Hao turned around and glanced at Lonzo Ball. This guy seemed to have something for him to become the second pick.
But it looks more interesting this way, doesn't it?
In the Spurs Arena, Murray advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, and under the cross-screen of Aldridge and Danny Green, he went directly to the basket.
Murray originally planned to complete a breakthrough layup, but McGee's defense was in place, so the next second he threw the ball to Jiang Hao at the top of the key.
Facing Lonzo Ball's oncoming defense, Jiang Hao was very decisive and shot a high-angle three-pointer directly.
Whoosh!
Same hit!
Lonzo Ball frowned. If he remembered correctly, this Chinese player threw four or five three-pointers at work, but he didn't hit any of them at that time.
Could it be that his incredible shooting percentage is back?
Lonzo Ball knows what Jiang Hao's shooting level is when he is in hot form.
Jiang Hao didn't know what Lonzo Ball was thinking. He just took a deep breath and made 0 of 5 three-pointers in the first half. It was a very painful moment, and it once made him feel like he was back again.
The dilemma of having nothing.
This ball can be hit in time, which can be regarded as stabilizing the morale of the army.
"Jiang's three-pointer, he finally hit a three-pointer. You must know that his three-pointer data in the first half was 0 for 5, which is a very embarrassing statistic. Now it is better. He came up in the third quarter.
I just hit a three-pointer, which is very good news.”
Both Matt Bonner and David Robinson attached great importance to Jiang Hao's three-pointer, and they thought it was a signal.
Although they are both young men, they look gentle and elegant, but in fact, Lonzo Ball also has the youthful and energetic qualities of a young man.
He didn't want to delve into whether Jiang Hao's feeling was really back, he just wanted to continue competing with Jiang Hao.
So in the next attack, he would rather ignore McGee who was in the open position and want the ball, and continue to take shots.
However, this time he failed to hit the shot.
珰!
The basketball hit the basket hard, and Aldridge collected the rebound.
The moment Aldridge grabbed the rebound, Jiang Hao had already started quickly at the top of the arc. He decided to use speed to complete this counterattack.
So, while running forward, he opened his hand to signal to Aldridge.
Of course Aldridge knew what Jiang Hao's action meant, so he threw the ball hard.
When the person arrives, the ball arrives.
At the free throw line, Jiang Hao accelerated again after receiving the ball. Lonzo Ball behind him could only watch as Jiang Hao dunked.
5 points.
At the beginning of the third quarter, China Jiang, who performed very poorly in the first half, quickly rebounded. He scored 5 points in a row, although Lonzo Ball of the Lakers also hit a three-pointer.
The ball, but it couldn't stop him from widening the point difference to 3 points.
Lakers head coach Luke Walton can't stand it anymore. In fact, at this level this season, the Lakers' mission has basically been completed. The outcome of any of the remaining games is not very different from the team.
Big relationship.
However, as the team's head coach, he absolutely cannot tolerate the players doing whatever they want on the court. In other words, even if they lose, they must lose in style.
"Lonzo, if you don't want to stay on the court, then please just go off."
Luke Walton yelled directly at Lonzo Ball.
This scene happened to be captured by the on-site camera.
"Obviously, Luke Walton is playing Lonzo Ball at a high speed. The basketball is not that big. In other words, Lonzo Ball doesn't have unlimited firing rights yet. Even if he is the second pick, he is really good here.
It doesn’t work”
"If he had just won the match against China Jiang, then he would have been the hero, but this is obviously not the case. Not only did the point difference not narrow, but China Jiang, who was resurrected with full health, appeared on the court."
"Lonzo Ball is a little unwise. Frankly speaking, among the 2017 rookies, judging from the shooting standards shown by everyone so far, China Jiang considers himself second. I am afraid no one dares to consider first. He should use his own strength
It would be better for both sides if we continue to compete with China Jiang's strengths."
After being yelled at by Luke Walton, Lonzo Ball stopped what he was doing. He no longer took the initiative to provoke Jiang Hao, but patiently organized the attack.
This keeps the score difference between the two teams within 5 points.
Jiang Hao really broke out in the third quarter. He scored 13 points in a single quarter, officially announcing his return.
Stimulated by Jiang Hao's outstanding form, the conditions of the other Spurs starting players have also improved.
Take Aldridge as an example. As the team's leading scorer this season, Aldridge also performed very poorly in the first half tonight. He scored 10 points in the entire first half, which is compared to his usual level.
Much worse.
However, after the start of the third quarter, when Jiang Hao continued to hit shots, he immediately became more accurate. In the entire third quarter, Aldridge scored a total of 12 points.
The Spurs were untouchable when they returned to form. After the third quarter, the Spurs had widened the point difference to 12 points.
If you want to complete a 12:0 reversal in the deciding game, your opponent is the Spurs, who are good at defense. You can imagine the difficulty.
Therefore, before the game started in the fourth quarter, the entire arena was already boiling, and the home fans knew exactly what this meant.
Chapter completed!
