Is there a law to see without LeBron James, Kawhi Leonard, paul George's Los Angeles derby? The answer is yes, but in the first three quarters of the game, the Lakers are a little hope of winning. After entering the final quarter of the game, the Lakers suddenly found the state of the game, the last minute of the game is even more exciting, the Clippers rely on Reggie Jackson, Marcus Morris and other people to hit key balls in succession, the Lakers are Russell Westbrook, Anthony Davis and Malik Munch stood up, but unfortunately Lady Luck did not stand on the side of the Lakers, along with Davis's shot miss, the Lakers lost to the Clippers 110-111, losing the key card battle.
In fact, although the Lakers lost the game, their performance in the last moment was really quite good, and this one-goal difference game can only be described as regret. If you can seize a chance, the result of the game may be rewritten. So, scoring at key moments is crucial for any team. So, which players have performed well on three points at key moments (the last five minutes of the game, with a difference of no more than five points) this season, and which players have performed badly at three points at key moments?
Fred VanVleet: The ST All-Star lives up to his name
VanVleet is now the fourth player in history to be named an All-Star, averaging 21.5 points, 4.7 rebounds and 7.1 assists per game this season. In key moments, VanVleet shot 16-of-35 from three-point range and shot 45.7 percent from the field. VanVleet is currently the player who shoots the most three-pointers in the league at key moments, and the shooting rate is also higher than the season average, which shows that he is worthy of the name of the All-Star, VanVleet is a big heart player.
Stephen Curry: Performance or crotch pulling
Curry's performance in January was so bad that his three-point shooting dropped to 38.1 percent, which is still a good performance, but it is still a little worse than Curry's own level. At key moments, Curry's performance was worse. He shot 7-of-35 from three-point range in key moments this season and shot just 20 percent from the field. VanVleet and Curry both made 35 three-point shots at key moments, tied for first place in the league, but the shooting percentage was so much worse that Curry was really not as good as Half of VanVleet. It can be seen that Curry's three-point performance at key moments is how to pull the crotch.
Kyle Kuzma: Yield and quality insurance
Kuzma's overall stats don't look like a bright spot, averaging 16.4 points, 8.9 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game, shooting 46 percent from the field and 34 percent from three-point range. But kuzma was not soft at all in key moments, shooting 15 of 31 from three-point range in key moments this season, shooting 48.4 percent from the field, and although he shot one less than VanVleet, Kuzma's shooting percentage was higher. This season, the league has a total of 11 players who have made no less than 20 three-point shots at key moments, and Kuzma is the one with the highest shooting rate, which shows that he is both production and quality insurance.
Darius Garland: Young people need to continue to grow
Garland became the first Cavaliers player to be named an All-Star since James, which is a recognition of him, Garland can average 19.8 points, 3.3 rebounds and 8.2 assists per game this season, shooting 46.7% from the field and 36.7% from three-point range, although the overall efficiency is good, but Garland's three-pointers at key moments are unbearable. He shot just 5.3 percent from 19 three-pointers at key moments of the season, and currently has 33 players in the league who have double-doubled three-pointers at key moments, and Garland is the only player who has fewer than two shots and the lowest shooting percentage. It seems that young people still have to continue practicing.
In fact, this season there is another player in the key moments of the three-point shot is very accurate, he is the Grizzlies Desmond Bain, second-year Bain this season can contribute 18 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game, shooting 46.5% from the field and 41.8% from three-point range, he has become Ja Morant's right-hand man, he shot 9 of 17 three-pointers in key moments, shooting 52.9%, He was the only player in the 33 players who hit 50% or more of the three-point shots in all the key moments, but he didn't shoot too many shots, but his shooting percentage was really good enough.
