Chapter 136: Throwing three-pointers like crazy, I am the three-point king!
Chapter 136
Not only did Wang Yan win the game, his three-point shooting percentage was also terrifyingly high!
48%
This is even more terrifying than those three-point shooters in the league.
Ray Allen only 41%, Korver 46%, Curry 45%, Calderon 46%
Except for Curry, everyone else is basically a spot shooter.
Wang Yan has the same fancy shooting skills as Curry.
This hit rate is a bit scary.
However, Curry during this period was not so free-spirited, because his coach was not Kerr yet. Mark Jackson did not regard Curry as an offensive engine, but just an ordinary point guard with a good three-point shot.
Wang Yan's three-pointers not only have a high hit rate, but are also very entertaining to watch, and he often makes some difficult three-pointers.
For example, in the game against the Magic, before the end of the first half, Wang Yan faced the pursuit and blockade of three defensive players, but he dodged and moved around like a bird flying through flowers and clouds.
Of the three defensive players, two were knocked down, and the remaining one was directly shot in the face by Wang Yan!
He can also play three-point shots in a variety of ways. Wang Yan, who was playing away from home, was actually shouted MVP by the audience!
This treatment is unparalleled!
. . . .
Just after Wang Yan led his team to defeat Lei Ting, the system space gave him a new task -
[It was detected that the host's three-point shot caused shock to the world, triggering a new task in the system: the host will make 100 three-point shots in the next ten games! ]
[After completing the task, you can enter the next level of the system (level 20)]
Wang Yan was originally listening to the system's voice excitedly.
But after hearing this, his smile froze.
One hundred shots in ten games?
Including the hit rate, that means at least 20 shots per game!
An average of 5 three-pointers per quarter!
This is crazy!
If someone else did this, regardless of whether they had the physical strength or not, even if they could throw the ball, the coach would scold you to death!
Of course, Scott certainly won’t curse, and neither will the fans, as they really enjoy watching Wang Yan’s performance.
But the public opinion and experts will definitely find fault.
Because there is a tendency to dominate the ball.
Kobe was criticized a lot because he took too many shots.
Wang Yan fell into deep thought.
He didn't know why the system assigned him this task. Was it asking him to lead a new trend in basketball technology?
However, Wang Yan thought again, isn’t it just ten games?
Just do it and it’s done!
Anyway, the fans like to watch it and it can bring victory to the team, so it would be a waste not to do it.
The Cavaliers' next game is an away game against the Western Conference powerhouse Los Angeles Clippers.
The Clippers are currently ranked fourth in the Western Conference. This is Paul's second season with the Clippers, and the running-in effect is beginning to show.
Because the Clippers have a reasonable combination of inside and outside players, many experts believe that the Clippers have a good chance of winning the championship.
eight pm.
Staples Center in Los Angeles.
The Clippers' starting lineup is Paul, Griffin, Jordan Jr., Caron Butler, and Willie Green.
The Cavaliers are still missing two starters and can only promote Middleton and Thomas to the main lineup.
Jordan's jumping ability is also top-notch, almost on par with Wang Yan.
His height is the same as Wang Yan's.
But Jordan Jr. is slightly inferior to Wang Yan in one aspect, that is shooting speed!
Therefore, in the jump ball session in the center circle, Wang Yan once again grabbed the first wave of ball possession.
Afterwards, Wang Yan did not play the aerial relay like he did before. Instead, he took advantage of the opponent's unstable footing and directly rushed into the penalty area with the ball and dunked!
Jordan was so angry. He had prepared to defend Wang Yan's aerial relay before the game, but Wang Yan just went up with the ball!
The Clippers thought that Wang Yan was going to wreak havoc in the restricted area today, but the dunk at the beginning was Wang Yan's only inside score in the first quarter.
Next, Wang Yan, apart from grabbing rebounds, hardly rushed into the penalty area, but wandered around outside the three-point line.
Jordan was miserable because of being chased by Wang Yan. After all, he was also an inside player and he didn't have the energy to catch up with Wang Yan on the outside!
Wang Yanzuo made a three-pointer, and another three-pointer!
Even head coach Scott was dumbfounded.
If it were any other team's coach, he would definitely be livid and would replace Wang Yan and give him a good scolding.
But Scott didn't dare to care about Wang Yan, or rather, he didn't need to care, because Wang Yan was the commander of the Cavaliers on the field and had full executive power.
In the first quarter that lasted more than 9 minutes, Wang Yan made 7 of 5 three-pointers, completing the system's task.
Afterwards, Wang Yan went off the court contentedly, leaving the Clippers' players in disarray...
"Is this still the Wang Yan from last season? No more two-point shots?"
"Where can you find such an inside player? Even Nowitzki didn't play like this back then!"
"Wang Yan is getting softer and softer, he doesn't even bother to kill people in the interior!"
"What are you talking about? He just took a few more three-point shots, but he's still very fierce in rebounding! DeAndre Jordan can't get him!"
"I guess it's the head coach's arrangement. He wants Wang Yan to develop in an all-round way?"
The audience was talking about it, wondering what Wang Yan was going to do.
After the first quarter, the Cavaliers led by 4 points.
The Clippers are indeed very strong, and under Paul's leadership, they played in an orderly manner.
Even though Wang Yan's three-pointers kept raining down, the Clippers' offensive momentum was still strong and they kept the score close.
Wang Yan was not in a hurry either. Anyway, he only had to complete two things now. One was the three-point mission, and the other was to make the team win!
In the second quarter, the Cavaliers were defeated in the substitute match.
The Clippers' bench lineup is too strong, with Super Six Crawford, FMVP Billups, former Lakers all-around player Odom, and Grant Hill.
The depth of the bench lineup is also the basis for the Clippers to win the championship.
The Cavaliers' lead in the first quarter was instantly wiped out and the Clippers overtook them by more than 10 points.
Scott quickly called a timeout and prepared to replace the main lineup.
Wang Yan stood on the sidelines, encouraging his teammates and high-fiving the substitute players one by one.
There's no way. It's not easy for a substitute to play like this.
After Wang Yan came on the court, he found that the Clippers' defensive strategy had changed.
In addition to Jordan Jr. defending him head-on, the Clippers also put Crawford on the court to defend him closely.
Crawford is tall and thin, and he can indeed prevent Wang Yan from shooting three-pointers by stretching out his hand.
But the Clippers were wrong.
Wang Yan’s three-pointer is not an ordinary open three-pointer.
Miso miso miso!
Wang Yan used fancy dribbling techniques to fully demonstrate Irving and Curry's escape techniques.
Wang Yan doesn't rely entirely on the system, he also figures it out during training.
At the beginning, he could only use the skills of Irving or Curry.
But after many training sessions, he was able to perfectly combine the skills of these two top dribbling masters!
It’s scary to think about it!
Jordan Jr. and Crawford were confused by Wang Yan's dribbling, and before they knew it, Wang Yan shot at the speed of light!
After the shot, the hit rate is still very high!
The Clippers' lead was slowly eroded.
Finally, at the end of the second quarter, Wang Yan made another three-pointer and the score was tied!
Wang Yan made 8 of 6 shots in the second quarter!
Clippers head coach Rivers was going crazy. He and the coaching staff had studied Wang Yan's previous game videos.
In the first few games, Wang Yan only shot about 10 times in each game.
But is Wang Yan crazy today?
Nearly 10 shots per quarter?
The coach didn't care? But when he stole a glance at Scott, he was surprised to find that Scott was not angry at all. Instead, he had an intoxicated expression like appreciating art.
Even when Wang Yan made the shot, he roared excitedly and punched.
When Wang Yan missed the shot, Scott didn't say anything, just sighed softly.
Looking at the other players of the Cavaliers, they did not become negative or stand aside and watch the show because of Wang Yan's three-pointer.
They all actively helped Wang Yan to cover and fight for rebounds.
What kind of team is this?
So united!
Just let Wang Yan play alone?
Little did he know that Wang Yan was not playing alone.
Only in this game did Wang Yan take more three-point shots.
In other games, once the Cavaliers took the lead, Wang Yan would help his teammates pass the ball and provide screens.
Trust is earned, not spoken.
Wang Yan used practical actions to tell his teammates that we are all for the team's victory!
In the first half of the game, Wang Yan completed the system's task and threw in 11.
After the start of the second half, the Clippers deployed an outside defense tactic, focusing almost all of their defense focus outside the three-point line.
There’s no way, Wang Yan’s accuracy is too scary.
Unexpectedly, after Wang Yan completed the task, he stopped shooting three-pointers in the second half and started to focus on the inside again!
Jordan Jr., Griffin and others all rushed to the outside, leaving the inside empty, and Wang Yan played more easily and happily!
The score gap was quickly widened.
Rivers was looking at Wang Yan on the sidelines and was about to cry.
How can you play like this?
Do not play cards according to the routine.
The Clippers quickly collapsed due to Wang Yan's intermittent playing style.
In the end, the Cavaliers beat the Clippers by 20+ points away from home.
Wang Yan scored 45 points and made 15 of 11 three-pointers, which was so terrifying!
After the game, the media gave a comprehensive report on Wang Yan's performance.
Unlike in the past, most of the reports this time were negative.
Because in this era, let alone inside players, even outside players don't shoot three-pointers like this.
Nowitzki is one of the big guys who shoots a lot of three-pointers, but he doesn't shoot like this.
Therefore, the media and experts all felt that Wang Yan was getting carried away and started to fight blindly.
"Wang Yan's style of play is doomed to fail in the long run. In basketball, the inside is still king!"
"It seems that the Cavaliers' two consecutive championships are gone. Wang Yan only knows how to shoot three-pointers. What will his teammates think? What will the coach think? It will definitely cause conflicts within the team!"
"You are still young...Does Wang Yan really think of himself as Reggie Miller? Or Ray Allen?"
Facing criticism from the media, Wang Yan did not respond directly, but instead slapped them in the face with his actions!
In the next four games, Wang Yan continued to shoot three-pointers crazily with an extremely high hit rate.
No matter how the other party guards, Wang Yan still does his own thing!
In five games, Wang Yan averaged 11 three-pointers per game, shocking the world!
Five games is not a small sample size.
This shows that Wang Yan is definitely not being arrogant and just throwing the ball around for fun, but is using three-pointers as his main offensive method.
The media and experts began to soften their tone and change their stance.
They vaguely felt that Wang Yan was leading a trend!
No! It's a frenzy!
It turns out that three-pointers can be thrown this way, and are not limited to just catching the ball and shooting.
Curry was also paying attention to Wang Yan's games, and he found that Wang Yan's current playing style was his favorite.
Looking at Wang Yan throwing three-pointers unscrupulously, Curry was really envious and jealous!
Unfortunately, his coach Mark Jackson would never allow him to shoot three-pointers like this.
In the minds of the older generation of players, a point guard is a point guard. You have to pass the ball well and only when you have an absolutely wide open space can you shoot a three-pointer.
Want to shoot a three-pointer over someone?
There are no doors!
If you dare to vote, you will be put on the bench!
. . . .
Although Wang Yan was happy with the shot, he also noticed the emotional changes of the players on the team.
Although no one said anything on the surface, they were still a little dissatisfied in their hearts.
This is understandable, after all, there is only one ball on the field, and the players' data represents their salary.
With Wang Yan's prestige, no one dared to say anything, but Wang Yan was not that kind of person, so Wang Yan had to solve this problem.
In addition, in the subsequent games, the opponent's defense became tighter.
So Wang Yan's number of attacks began to decrease.
After nine games, Wang Yan made a total of 90 three-pointers.
According to the system's task requirements, you must make 10 three-pointers in the tenth game to complete the task.
The opponent in the tenth game is not easy to deal with.
Warriors!
In other words, Wang Yan has to complete this task in front of Ku Li!
What a dramatic scene.
Wang Yan is using the skills of future peak Curry to defeat early Curry!
Can you do it?
Two days later, the entire Cavaliers team flew to Golden State.
During the interview before the game, the reporter asked Wang Yan a question.
"Mr. Wang Yan, how many three-pointers will you shoot in today's game?"
The media's tone has changed. They no longer criticize Wang Yan's three-pointers, but instead actively ask about the number of Wang Yan's shots.
Wang Yan smiled and said, "I don't have a specific plan. I will make a response plan based on the situation on the court, but I can tell you in advance that no matter how many times I shoot, in this game... I will hit 10 three-pointers!"
The scene was in an uproar!
Another 10?
It's crazy!
Another reporter asked, "Wang, who do you think is the best three-point shooter in the league today?"
Wang Yan put away his smile and answered seriously: "Curry!"
The reporters were stunned again.
In 12, Curry was good at three-point shooting, but he had not yet demonstrated his superior strength.
Why is Wang Yan so optimistic about Curry?
In fact, Wang Yan was also following the Warriors' game.
When he saw Curry being sealed, he felt
It doesn't feel good!
Mark Jackson is too old-fashioned and doesn't allow Curry to shoot three-pointers at will.
As a result, the Warriors' record is neither good nor bad, and they are just lingering on the edge of the playoffs.
Wang Yan decided to use the media to stimulate the Warriors head coach to let Curry go and compete with him!
He went on to say: "Curry's three-point technique is ahead of other players. Unfortunately, his coach has limited Curry's shots by playing to his strengths and weaknesses. I feel very sorry!"
In fact, with Wang Yan's personality, he will not interfere in the affairs of other teams. This is the unspoken rule of the NBA.
But in order to help Curry break out earlier, he specifically mentioned Mark Jackson.
Sure enough, the media broadcast Wang Yan’s words, causing an uproar in the alliance!
