NBA: I just want to play soy sauce, you let me win the championship

Chapter 57 The Heretic to be Burned

Bobby Jackson and Turkoglu are not stupid. After Lu Yuanzhi reminded them, they knew what Lu Yuanzhi wanted to express.

Isn't it just to go all out and push the game into garbage time?
But it's not that easy to get into garbage time. NBA opponents, even the most humble teams, still have considerable strength.

Especially those weak teams that cannot reach the playoffs. Their fighting power at their home court is sometimes difficult for even the rich teams to cope with.

It's normal that the team's main income, in addition to the broadcast fees from the league's profits, is ticket revenue. If they don't perform well at their home court, where will the fans buy tickets?
So the more fat you are, the more you value your home record.

No way, they can't even make it to the playoffs, and the home victory is basically the only reason for fans to watch the game.

Well, except for those weird fans in New York.

Lu Yuanzhi was not at all surprised by Bobby Jackson and Turkoglu's reaction, "To use a famous Chinese advertising slogan, 'Your energy is beyond your imagination'!"

"Bobby, Hido, the time we play is basically rotation time. We won't face too many starting players, so in terms of strength, we can crush most of our opponents. Do you have this confidence?"

Bobby Jackson won the best sixth man. Turkoglu is naturally very confident in his own strength because he wants to start in the king's championship team.

They certainly have the confidence to suppress their opponents against the general rotation of substitute players.

"But the basketball is round!" Turkoglu said a famous saying, also said a nonsense.

"Yes, so I came to you today just to expand this advantage."

Lu Yuanzhi didn't care about Turkoglu's objections. The more he said this, the more it showed that Turkoglu was very interested in Plan 3.0. After all, the more you bargained for, the more you wanted to buy it.

And for those who are truly not interested, even saying another word is a waste.

"Remember how we screwed up the game? I'm sweeping the wings, I'm going in the paint and giving them a big cap, and then we're going to break fast, and after a couple of possessions, we're going to take a [-]-point lead."

Bobby Jackson and Turkoglu nodded. This is indeed what they played against the Magic, and they did quickly open the score, sending the suspenseful game directly into garbage time.

But isn't this an existing tactic?

Come here today, it must not be that simple!
Sure enough, Lu Yuanzhi continued to explain.

"Of course, this is not enough. I have an interesting statistic here. I can't tell you where it comes from, but it is indeed a statistic commissioned by a third party from the league office."

Lu Yuanzhi took out his own world, the statistical map commissioned by Davis College from the league, and shared it with Bobby Jackson and Turkoglu.

What is this?
When the two of them saw Lu Yuanzhi being mysterious, their curiosity couldn't help but be aroused.

I looked at the statistics table, but I was disappointed. Isn't it just the hit rate statistics?
"The highest shooting percentage at the basket." Isn't this nonsense?
"The hit rate for mid-range shots is basically around 40%, and the hit rate does not decrease due to the increase in shooting distance." This is a bit interesting. It is somewhat different from the traditional belief that the closer to the hoop, the higher the hit rate.

"The shooting rate from 22 feet keeps decreasing." 22 feet is 6 meters, which is the distance from the three-point line at the bottom corner of the NBA.

Bobby Jackson and Turkoglu raised their heads and looked at Lu Yuanzhi, wondering what medicine he was selling in his gourd.

Aren't these all common sense?

Lu Yuanzhi didn't say anything, but took out another picture, which was the statistics of three-point shooting percentage from the bottom corner.

That's right, in the NBA at the beginning of the 21st century, corner three-pointers have entered the tactical system and become the area where three-pointers shoot the most. The shooting percentage shown in this picture has clearly reached 45%, which is higher than the average mid-range shooting percentage. Even higher!
What's going on here?

In fact, it is easy to understand. The three-point line at the top of the arc is 7 meters, and the bottom corner is 25 meters. In other words, if you shoot within one step of the three-point line at the top of the arc, it will be different from the shot outside the three-point line at the bottom corner. , the distance from the hoop is the same.

Even the distance of 6 meters is shorter than the FIBA ​​standard three-point line of 7 meters.

Most of the bottom line three-pointers are catch-and-shoot three-pointers, there will be a certain amount of open space, and the shooting rate is naturally much higher than that of the heavily defended front.

In the regular season of the 22-23 season, Curry made 60% of the corner three-pointers, Mike Conley 56.9%, Porter Jr. 53.9%, Dinwiddie 51.6%, and Watanabe 51.4%.

What is Curry's season-wide three-point percentage? 42.7%!

The three-point shooting rate in the bottom corner will probably be about 20% higher than other positions.

"You must be wondering what the significance of a few percentage points is," Lu Yuanzhi pointed to the two pictures, "but don't forget, those are three-pointers! Two three-pointers top three two-pointers!"

Ok?
Bobby Jackson and Turkoglu were surprised at the same time. Based on their experience, they knew that the bottom corner is the most suitable position to shoot, but they have never analyzed from the data why this position is the best.

Now after being reminded by Lu Yuanzhi, he realized that the three-pointer at this position is simply against the sky. Not only is it easier to shoot than two-pointers, but he can also get one more point.

In other words, the 50% shooting rate here, and the 75% shooting rate of the top mid-range shot, what a terrifying data.

It is comparable to the success rate of finishing at the basket!

However, they still have doubts. Although everyone does not know the specific data or the core principles, the shooter's instinct will always make them go to the bottom corner. Why does Lu Yuanzhi deliberately bring it up?

Turkoglu directly raised this question. The three-pointer is a very important item in his arsenal. He wants to fully grasp any theoretical knowledge about the three-pointer.

"Because I'm not talking about positional warfare." Lu Yuanzhi paused for a moment, and finally realized, "What I want is for you guys to shoot three-pointers during the fast break!"

Fast break three?

This kind of argument is put forward at the beginning of the 21st century, it is tantamount to heresy, and it will be sprayed all over the head by countless so-called "experts"!

Stabilize the fast break without a chance, and then switch to position. This is the mainstream thinking of this era.

"Do you think, if you were open in the mid-range during a fast break, would you choose to shoot?"

Bobby Jackson and Turkoglu nodded without hesitation, which they often do in the Kings' fast break tactics.

"Since you can shoot mid-range shots, why can't you shoot three-pointers from the bottom corners? Isn't that also within your range? And the hit rate is not bad!"

Bobby Jackson and Turkoglu were silent.

After Lu Yuanzhi explained layer by layer, they have almost accepted that it is a good choice to shoot an open three-pointer from the bottom corner during the fast break.

"How to do it specifically?" Finally, Bobby Jackson and Turkoglu asked the core question.

"It's very simple. When the three of us go on a fast break, our main goal is to attack the basket." Lu Yuanzhi does not dare to be unconventional at this time. Being half a step ahead is a genius, but being one step ahead will be regarded as a madman. He has not yet become a madman. basis, "but at least ambush one guy to go to the bottom corner."

Lu Yuanzhi pointed to Bobby Jackson and Turkoglu, "One of you will attack the basket, and the other will ambush outside the three-point line in the corner. If the opponent retreats from the basket in time, pass out and shoot a three-pointer. "

When Bobby Jackson and Turkoglu heard Lu Yuanzhi's plan, they nodded in approval. This is much more reasonable. After all, the basket is the most efficient scoring area.

"What about you?" Bobby Jackson suddenly thought of something, raised his head and asked Lu Yuanzhi, "What role do you play in the fast break?"

"Me?" Lu Yuanzhi smiled slightly, I am the most important guarantee in this plan!
