Kelly Oubre killed crazy today. The Hornets scored a high score of 158 points in a single game, and he himself scored 39 points, hitting 10 three-pointers in the whole game. Even more frightening is that Oubre is still playing as a substitute. The Hornets had a big win. Oubre also became the first player of the season to hit 10 three-pointers in a single game.
This season Oubre has undergone a metamorphosis, and last season did not play well with the Warriors Oubre. There was a lot of criticism and skepticism about him. Oubre is a good player, but he doesn't get the chance he deserves with the Warriors. This year came the wasp Oubre to usher in the bloom. Oubre averaged 28 minutes per game this season and has close to 17 points and 4 rebounds, shooting 45 percent from the field and 37 percent from three-point range. Averaging nearly three-point shots per game ranks in the league's top 20.
The Hornets were originally a young team. The team's attacking pace and overall athletic talent, in this atmosphere, Oubre naturally can fully display his talent. This game is the best example. Oubre felt amazingly good in this game, and in the second half he began his own performance. First, in the third quarter, he pulled out his hand on the outside line, not only hitting but also causing the opponent to foul. Oubre then hit a series of three-pointers in the 4th quarter, and several of Oubre's three-pointers were almost two steps from the three-point line. He received the ball and shot confidently, and the ball crossed a perfect arc through the net.
In fact, Oubre has had a similar output more than once this season. Oubre spent most of this year on the bench, and as a result, he was in better shape as a substitute. Oubre, who has played the Pacers and Grizzlies in previous games, has scored at least 30 points on the bench. Especially in the previous game to beat the Grizzlies, Oubre scored 37 points and shot 7-of-9 from three-point range. Oubre scored 39 points and made fewer than 20 shots. He hit 10 three-pointers and made 15 shots, which was amazingly efficient. Oubre's true shooting percentage in this game is 95%. This game is also the most beautiful game of the season in Oubre.
For comparison, Curry has hit 9 three-pointers in four totals this season. No one had hit 10 three-pointers this season before this game. This year's NBA confrontation is intense, the blowing penalty system is more stringent, and it is not easy to hit 10 three-pointers in a single game. In addition, Oubre has a plus-minus of 0.4 this season, compared to -3.5 last season. Oubre has made just one turnover this season, 0.3 fewer than last season. These data all show that Oubre is better at detail.
On the defensive end, Oubre is also greatly underestimated, and last season's defense at the Warriors Oubre was not bad. The data does not fully reflect Oubre's defensive role, at least his defensive attitude is qualified. His co-defense is very active and his defensive awareness is getting better and better. Today he is a good player, a trusted teammate. Oubre, who is currently 26 years old, is in the middle of his fighting years, and he has shown very strong offensive firepower on the offensive end. When his hands are hot, he can play an offensive state similar to that of the Splash Brothers.
The wasp picked up the treasure. Oubre has created opportunities for himself, how strong will he be in the future? Dear readers, how do you rate Oubre's performance so far this season? Feel free to leave a comment in the comments section below the article.
