The convulsion superstar of basketball

Chapter 82 82. Changing Xiao Li

After returning from the second quarter, the two sides also sent most of the substitute lineup to compete.

Especially in this game, the opponent Kings is still a weak team, so the playing time of the Magic's main players has generally been reduced.

After all, a season is still very long. Although Van Gundy likes to overuse the main players, as a head coach, he also knows how to allocate playing time for the main players reasonably, which is also a deep knowledge.

And due to the game system between the East and the West, the Magic can only meet the Kings twice a season.

It can be said that it is very difficult to meet a particularly bad team like the Kings, which also leads to even Van Gundy definitely cherishing this opportunity.

In the matchup between the two sides' substitute players in the second quarter, the Kings also had the upper hand without any suspense.

After all, even the main players of the Kings have a relatively limited offensive level, let alone the bench players sitting off the court.

The offensive level of the entire Kings on the bench can be said to be very poor, and the only one who can be regarded as impressive is the backup center Spencer Hawes.

Since the Kings are destined to embark on a poor journey this season, this also leads to good playing time for the players in the team.

So far in the Kings, Hawes has averaged 29.3 minutes per game, and can also contribute 11.7 points and 7.3 rebounds. It is also the only bright spot on the bench for the entire Kings.

Although this is also closely related to the limited level of the Kings players, he has gained a lot of playing time and shooting rights, but this data is indeed very good.

It's just a pity that Hawes will face Gortat, known as the "Polish Hammer" in this game.

Although now as Howard's substitute, Gortat does not have the ability of the peak period of later generations, but with a height of [-] meters, he has already shown his edge on the defensive end.

If it weren't for the fact that Van Gundy didn't have much tactical status under Van Gundy, Gortat's data would definitely rise a lot today.

Facing Gortat, Hawes, who can usually bully the backup center, does not have much advantage.

The shortcomings of rough offensive skills were also fully exposed in this game.

Thinking about it, if Hawes is really strong in personal ability, then it is impossible to still play the role of a backup center in this Kings team.

It may be that in the recent period, Courtney Lee was deeply stimulated by Su Jiu off the court.

After all, both of them entered the league in the draft in the same year, and Su Jiu was just an undrafted rookie, but Courtney Lee was an out-and-out first-round pick.

So far, there is not much difference in the average playing time between the two. Before Su Jiu really became famous, Courtney Lee's playing chance was even better than Su Jiu.

However, under such circumstances, the current Su Jiu has completely established his reputation, not only firmly occupying the rotation position in the team, but also can be regarded as the No. [-] figure in the league.

Already an existence that can compete with Derrick Rose and Mayo for the best rookie, but Courtney Lee is still struggling to keep his rotation position.

The most puzzling thing is that although Su Jiu is somewhat more diligent than him in the usual training of the two, the gap between the two is not visible to the naked eye.

So looking at Su Jiu, who was already standing in a very high position, and then looking down at himself made Courtney Lee feel more and more inferior and wronged.

And this inferiority complex was turned into motivation by Courtney Lee on the field.

After following Su Jiu's suggestion, Courtney Lee is now dedicated to the two tasks of offense and defense and three-pointers.

Facing the open three-point opportunity, Courtney Lee can now be said to be truly Xiao Li's flying knife, deadly with a knife, and the ball kills the heart! !

When Courtney Lee hit two three-pointers at a 45-degree angle on the left and right sides, it also directly stopped the Kings in the away game.

Although the head coach of the Kings no longer has any hope of winning at this time, after all, no one wants their team to show their face on the news with a big defeat.

Every team wants to be on the news to increase their attention, but definitely not in this way.

During the timeout, facing Courtney Lee who was going off the field, Su Jiu went up and gave him a big hug.

Because today's Courtney Lee has deviated from the growth path in the previous life under his leadership.

Although his progress is not as perverted as Su Jiu's, compared with the previous life, it has definitely reached the point where it is visible to the naked eye.

During the same period, Courtney Lee has greatly improved both in terms of three-pointers and defensive ability.

Coupled with Su Jiu's current reputation, then relying on Courtney Lee's current progress, as long as the Magic don't suffer from brain twitches, it will be impossible for the Magic to use Courtney Lee as an addition to make a deal that doesn't make much sense.

"Yes, Li Zi!! These three-point shots are getting more and more accurate now. I think you should sign up for the three-point contest this year."

"With your current shooting skills, you will definitely be able to make some achievements in the three-point contest, so as to expose yourself and increase attention."

"Don't worry about whether the alliance can admit you, you should report your name first, haha."

While hugging Courtney Lee's neck, Su Jiu also half-joked and half-seriously said to him.

So far this season, Courtney Lee also has a 37.4% three-point shooting percentage.

If this hit rate is placed in the small ball era of later generations, then although it can be called good enough, it is definitely not particularly good.

However, in this day and age, the effect of this three-point shooting rate is still very impressive.

In addition, real three-pointers rarely go to the three-pointer contest to prove themselves.

Because their shooting percentages on the field are already obvious to all, there is no need to use this method to attract people's attention, so as to drain themselves.

The most important thing is that they have become the strongest group of shooters recognized by the league, so if they don't win the three-point contest, it will only make people find excuses to attack them personally.

In the end, even if he got his wish and won the shooting championship in the three-point contest, more fans would take it for granted.

The real benefits that can be obtained are very few, which is the main reason why later James is unwilling to participate in the dunk contest.

However, compared to this group of people, if Courtney Lee, who is still a rookie, can make some achievements in the three-point contest.

So for him, it will definitely be a very important competition.
