In today's NBA, it's easy to hit multiple three-pointers in one game, but it's not so easy to hit three-pointers in multiple consecutive games. Curry is currently the NBA's record holder for consecutive three-point shooting, and he has hit three-pointers in 151 consecutive games, a record that is still expanding.
Fans of the NBA's second-highest number of consecutive three-point shots may not have imagined. He's not a shooter in the traditional sense, he's Thunder rising star Dort. Dort hit three-pointers in 40 consecutive games, second only to Curry in active duty.
Dolt is a player known for defending Harden. The first round of the 2020 playoffs, the Rockets and Thunder, 7 games, that round of the series Dolt shine. Although Harden is not limited by anyone, Dolt's diligent defense and attrition of Harden is the key to the Thunder's seven games. Without Dort's consumption of Harden, the Thunder would have been eliminated by the Rockets long ago.
At the end of the 2020 playoffs, the Thunder began to rebuild, sending Paul away. Dolt is getting more and more opportunities and playing time. This season, Dort has averaged 17+4+2 per game, a huge improvement over his rookie season, and his output on the outside has become more and more stable. Although Dort's three-point shooting rate is less than 34%, Dort can hit 2.5 three-pointers per game, and the average number of three-point shots per game is already in the upper part of the league.
Dolt is a very good point pitcher, especially in the two bottom corner areas with a very stable output ability. Dort, like most of the league's three-point shooters, is good at catching and pointing shots, and his ability to hold the ball is slightly worse. But it doesn't stop him from playing well. The Thunder themselves also attach great importance to three-pointers, encouraging young players to shoot more three-pointers.
Today, Dort is a good 3D player in the league, shooting three-pointers and good at defense. Previous restrictions on Harden have made people realize that Dolt is a good defensive player.
Dolt not only defends Harden, but also defends many superstars. These experiences have improved his defensive ability. He is a trustworthy defender. In addition, Dort's playing style is extremely tough and not afraid of confrontation. He also performed very well in terms of inside breakouts and fast attack counter-attacks, and had a certain talent for killing.
Considering dort's average three-point shooting per game this season, Dort's consecutive three-point shooting sessions are not easily interrupted. And Dort's three-point shot has a lot of room for improvement. Dort averaged just 0.8 three-point shots per game in his rookie season, and this season is a three-fold increase from his rookie season. If Dort can improve his efficiency a little more and make his three-pointer more stable, his record will have a higher probability of continuing. Maybe more than 100 games are not fantasy.
In the end, Dort is a lost draft, and can sit in the team's main force and future core as a lost draft, and Dort relies on three-pointers and defense.
Three-point shooting and defense are the basic requirements for players in the NBA today, as long as an NBA player has both qualities. No matter how poor his talent is, no matter how low his draft pick is, there is a possibility of changing his life against the sky. When Dort lost the election, who would have thought that this humble young man could limit Harden in the future and become an indispensable main force for the Thunder.
