Fat people may be potential stocks

Chapter 163 The issue of right to shoot
Although it is a new lineup for the new season.

But because the Knicks' main players have not been lost this season.

So in comparison, there is no need to go through the so-called running-in period.

When the season officially starts.

Played a few preseason games.

Entered the regular season stage.

Surprisingly, the Knicks got off to a pretty good start.

Until mid-November.

Played a total of six games, 4 wins and 2 losses

It was a good start.

But it was after these few games.

The Knicks' problems that did not exist before were exposed at this time.

"Coach, I'm a shooter after all. I think any shooter needs a lot of shooting rights, but compared with last season, my shooting rights have shrunk by almost half! How can I help the team? I I hope you can take back part of Wang's shooting rights, I think he is too wasteful now!"

This is the Knicks' starting small forward.A passage from Keith Van Horn to their head coach.

You can probably hear what he meant from the words.

He should be very dissatisfied with some of the team's existing practices.And this dissatisfaction also involves some problems of Wang Xiaochun.

"Keith? I hope you can understand that as Wang continues to improve, we must give him more opportunities! Of course, I also know that his three-point shooting rate during this period cannot be compared with last season. Rather, it does seem to be a waste of shots.

But we should also think on the bright side, right?This guy used to be unoccupied and didn't shoot. Now that he dares to shoot and shoots so aggressively, we should give him some time to adapt! "

In fact, Lenny Wilkens is also a bit big.

Because the person who asked him to make this opinion was not just Keith Van Horn.

Marbury just said it two days ago.

Only compared to Keith Van Horn.

Marbury just complained a few words casually.Not like Keith Van Horn.Talk to him formally.

After all, Marbury is the team's point guard.The distribution of the ball itself is in his hands.It may be because Wang Xiaochun's hit rate did not meet his requirements.Just made two complaints.

In addition, the two made a little unpleasant last season.Naturally, there is some alienation in the relationship.

If there are no such problems.Maybe Marbury can't wait for Wang Xiaochun to make such a fuss....

After all, even if Wang Xiaochun is a wave, his shooting percentage is much higher than that of ordinary players.

But if it is true that Wang Xiaochun is a chaotic wave?That's a bit of a shame on the guy.

This can be seen from the number of shots taken by this guy and his hit rate.

Count last season's regular season and playoffs together.

This guy averages around 5.3 shots per game.Among them, the number of three-point shots was 2.9.

Is it already very little?

But despite his low number of shots, his hit rate has always been guaranteed.

If not counting total hits.Only three-pointers are counted.This guy can hit almost 99 percent of the time.

He also missed one three-pointer all season.

But it may be precisely because of such a hit rate as a premise.

When this guy is fat.

Since the start of the new season.

In the 6 regular season games that have been played.

Directly increase the number of shots you take to an average of more than 16 shots per game.

And his true shooting percentage.But only a little over 40%.

It stands to reason that 40% hit is not too low.

What's more, it's still a total hit.

If you take three points alone.Also passed 50%.

But still that sentence.I am afraid of comparison in everything, and I am also afraid of getting used to it.

If such a hit rate is replaced by other players.It is already considered to have top scoring ability.

But who made Wang Xiaochun's shooting rate so abnormal last season?

When habit becomes natural.

The Knicks players don't seem to have this awareness.He also regards the current Wang Xiaochun as the Wang Xiaochun who was always successful in the past.

In addition, what this guy did was indeed taking up other people's original shots.Opinions are also considered within the normal range.

But after all, there are only so many shots per game.More of this and less of that.It's really not a good problem to solve.

Let's make a hypothesis!
Assume that in a game, both sides score around 10 points, [-] of which are free throws.

Then according to the average shooting percentage of 50%, the number of shots for each team can be obtained.It should be around 90 to 100 reps per game.

In other words, use these shots in a game to get more than a score.

Calculated based on 100 times, this number of shots seems to be a lot, but if it is allocated, it is really not much!
Let's start with the starter!

The main scorers each get about 20 shots?Not too much, right?

Take the Knicks lineup.

Marbury, Houston, Keith Van Horn everyone has this right.

That is to say, the 60 calls will be gone.

And the next step is the number of shots from the first inside line.

As a team that does not focus on the inside.

Coupled with the need for inside, put more energy on defense.

The number of shots Wang Xiaochun and Dampier can get.Probably 6~8 times.

The sum of the two is calculated as 15 times.

75 shots are gone.

And the rest are the number of shots taken by the substitutes.

Of course, this number is not absolute.

It will vary according to the situation of the game.Increased or decreased more or less.

But generally speaking, you can't get out of this frame.

But once out of this box.Sometimes I run too far.

That will inevitably affect other people.

And Wang Xiaochun may have gone too far.

Keith Van Horn?As a big shooter, he doesn't have too strong singles ability.The ability to hold the ball is also not high.

So most of his scoring is based on his three-point ability.

And to score points with this ability, it will inevitably require a lot of shots.

So don't look at his position in the Knicks is barely ranked third.

But the number of shots per game has been ranked first.

Keith Van Horn averaged 23 field goal attempts per game last season.

Seven more than the 16 averaged by Marbury and Houston?
But even if it has been shot so many times.

But he averaged only 18.6 points per game last season.He also made only 37% of his three-pointers.

In terms of efficiency, it is actually not high.

If this season remains the same as last season.

Even if Keith Van Horn's shots are a bit over the limit.

But it can still be made up for by Marbury and Houston.

But the problem is.It should be affected by the first round of tour last season.

Both Marbury and Houston have very strong offensive desires this season.

In almost every game, he will use up his shot rights.

In addition, Wang Xiaochun is bolder than before.

with the consent of the coach.

It increased the right to shoot.

From the status of the team.The guy probably gets 15 or so shots.

And such authority naturally has to be recovered from others.

The one who made up for it was naturally Keith Van Horn who took the most shots but missed the mediocre one.

23 times dropped sharply to about 13 times.

Even Keith Van Horn has shot 40 percent so far this season.

But calculated according to this number and proportion.

Even if all hits are three-pointers.He can only get about 15 points per game at most.

compared to last season.The data naturally dropped a lot.

How could Keith Van Horn be willing?

So after holding back for a few games, I finally couldn't hold back anymore.Have a formal talk with Mr. Head Coach today.

But he also heard it from the head coach's words.They are obviously more inclined to Wang Xiaochun's side.

This makes Keith Van Horn, who has always been good-tempered.Get angry!
"Although I was traded from another team? But the contract I originally signed should still be valid. It has been stated in the additional clauses in the contract that I have the right to protect shots! The team must guarantee my shots! I hope you and the general manager can take this issue seriously! You can also give me a satisfactory answer!"

"this……,"

Coach Laney never thought that Keith Van Horn would dare to move the contract.

Be aware that there are problems with the general team and players.Unless it is not a last resort.Usually it's not a matter of talking about the contract.

Because once the contract is taken out.That's really business.

And it's done, everything is easy to talk about, and everything will be fine.If it doesn't work out, they may have to part ways.

"This... well, I will tell the general manager your opinion!"

In fact, it was in the heart of Coach Lanny.I don't really like Keith Van Horn's type of player.

Note, this dislike is not for the individual, but for the style of play.

For a big man of 2 meters, it doesn't matter if he lacks confrontation.The key lies in the position of the small forward, the speed is not fast.

The reason why the Knicks played in the playoffs last season was a round trip.It also has something to do with Keith Van Horn's defense.

Of course, now is not the time to settle accounts after autumn.

Now that people have opinions.As the head coach, he has to solve this problem first.

So just after Coach Lenny and Keith Van Horn finished talking.

Immediately came to the general manager's office.Tell the other party's opinion to the legendary star.

"Who does he think he is? Does he think he is still the successor of "Big Bird"? Or does he think he can continue to compete with Tim Duncan? It doesn't matter!"

Since becoming the general manager of the Knicks.

Isaiah Thomas is increasingly satisfied with the results of his work.

Only two operations have passed since he took office.

The Knicks became a playoff team.

Although the results of the playoffs are a bit miserable...

But after all, this is his first season in office.

He still has more ideas and operations to prepare for later.

What's more, in addition to this, the growth of the rookies he is optimistic about is also very gratifying.

After just one rookie season, he showed the potential of a superstar.

This is all his credit.

But now there are actually people who have objections to his "credit".

And a guy who can't recognize reality.

This naturally made him have no good temper with this guy.

"I can't say that. In fact, this guy is still capable. After all, he was able to compete with Duncan for the No. [-] pick. It's just that the gap in development after entering the league is a bit big... Hehe! Besides, next season will be his contract year? In this Which player doesn't plan for his future?"

Anyway, Keith Van Horn can now be regarded as the disciple of head coach Lenny.

There are some things that should be said for disciples, but still need to be said.

But the general manager of his family obviously didn't agree with his words.

"Huh...? Don't elevate this guy too high? I admit that he is really good? But no matter how good a person is, he needs ability to speak to me. Besides, his current ability is not as good as the one Wang recommended to us. The guy named Matt Barnes, look at how he plays the game on the court, that is the defensive attitude! Keith Van Horn is not even worthy of lifting his shoes! Second place? I don’t know who gave it to him in the first place It surpassed his evaluation of "Big Bird II"!"

Mentioned the few lower league players pushed by Wang Xiaochun.

Isaiah Thomas couldn't help but beam with joy.

He didn't expect Wang Xiaochun to choose these players.All of them are "useful talents".

Especially that guy named Matt Barnes.

Although in the last few games, he only played five or six minutes off the bench in each game.

But in these few minutes of performance.

It will allow Isiah Thomas to see the style of play of his era.

And this style of play is what the Knicks need most at the moment.

Of course, these are just digressions after all.

The problem of Van Horn himself had to be solved.

"Then you see how to deal with this problem!"

Head Coach Mr. Lanney.Obviously, I don't want to dwell too much on this issue.Just ask the solution directly.

"You don't need too many shooters among the starters, and what Keith Van Horn can do, Wang can do, and Wang can do, Keith Van Horn can't do!

In my opinion, we need a 3D small forward more now, and the offense doesn't need to be so sharp!But the defense must be strong!

Well, you just reply to that guy, if he is happy with the status quo, we can use him for a while!But he must strengthen his defensive attitude!

If he is not satisfied, he can also submit a transaction application!Maybe he can get more shots in other teams!hehe…. "

Isaiah Thomas isn't sloppy either.

In addition, he himself has some ideas about how to operate in this area.

Naturally, it is impossible to care about Keith Van Horn's stay or stay.

"Then if this guy really wants to be traded? Do we have a suitable trader?"

The head coach, Mr. Lanney, has already been mentioned before.

I don't particularly like this kind of guy who has offense but no defense.

So naturally it is impossible to dissuade the plan of their general manager.It's just that for the subsequent operations, he must understand the details.

"As for the target of the trade? I don't have any candidates here yet? But you can ask Wang first? After all, he is also a half-forward player! The small forward can also be regarded as his partner! See if he has a favorite candidate? If so If so, let's study it!"

Obviously, the general manager attached more importance to Wang Xiaochun than to ordinary players.

In addition, before Wang Xiaochun, he did have "recommendation."

Without a clue.This kind of operation is not impossible.

Maybe this guy can surprise them again?
