Anthony recovered from a leg injury some time ago, and today Lakers coach Vogel said Anthony is recovering well and is likely to return tomorrow against the Clippers. If Anthony returns tomorrow' game, he has a good chance of creating a new milestone, which is to hit 1700 three-pointers. Anthony's career total of 1698 three-point shots ranked 28th in NBA history. All the active players are only 10 people to do, and tomorrow the fans may witness history.
Anthony's three-pointer gradually became his main offensive tool later in his career. Early in his career, Anthony didn't excel at three-pointers. In three of his first four seasons, he shot less than 30 percent from three points, and Anthony's shooting was special. Early in his career, melon's shots were standard dry pulls, with high jump amplitudes and strong immunity to interference. Therefore, Anthony is an inexplicable killer in the middle distance, and the opponent cannot interfere with him at all. Because of this shooting position Anthony does not perform well when shooting three-pointers, because the three-point shot is more stable.
Now Anthony's jump range is lower and faster, so the three-point shooting rate is higher. The same rule applies to players like Kobe Bryant and Westbrook. After joining the Knicks, Anthony's three-point shooting rate has improved significantly, and he has achieved a single-season shooting rate of 40%, but Anthony's feel has fluctuated greatly in those years. The Knicks' management was in disarray, and Anthony's feel was always up and down. For example, in 2014, Anthony averaged 2.2 three-point shots per game, which is very good. But after one season, his three-point shooting dropped by 0.7.
In the last three seasons, Anthony's three-point performance has been getting better and better, shooting 38.5%, 40.2% and 39.2% from three-point range, and Anthony has averaged more than 2 three-point shots per game this season. He played less than 27 minutes. Anthony could be the Lakers' first three-point shooter on the perimeter. Today,anthony, the three-pointer is not only stable but also excellent consciousness, can easily create open shooting opportunities. Anthony has a big heart, so he tends to play in the final moments of the game. Even not catching the ball and shooting creates an offensive threat and attracts the opponent's attention. Tomorrow to hit the Clippers if Anthony returns, hitting two three-pointers with his hand shouldn't be a big problem. In the coming period, Anthony's three-point shooting number will rise further.
Although Anthony is 37 years old, his playing style has become more and more concise in the past two years, and his three points have become more and more accurate. The NBA is now very tolerant of shooters, as long as they can shoot and open up space, they can get a stable chance to play. Anthony is already solid in offensive technique and experienced. If you stay healthy until you reach the age of 40, it will not be a problem. Based on Anthony's average of 2 three-point shots per game this season, his three-point shots are likely to reach 2,000 when Anthony retires.
Anthony didn't win any championship trophies or regular season MVP in his career, but he's still an unquestioned legend. A great scorer. Anthony is still fighting for his dreams and setting his own record on the field. This veteran has a lot of oil on him. Dear readers, do you think Anthony can hit the 1,700th three-pointer of his career tomorrow playing against the Clippers? Feel free to leave a comment in the comments section below the article.
