The Heat need to clarify a concept, their team of shooters need to be assigned different responsibilities in order to burst out more powerfully in high-level games. From the season of entering the Finals, the Heat have understood that the forward group and the shooter group are their main resources and the best weapons for their survival in the East. Therefore, if you want to have a better performance in the later games, it is essential to make good use of shooters, do a good job of resource allocation, and targeted position adjustments and tactical adjustments. Now everyone knows that the heat's best shooters are Robinson and Giro, and these two people are different for the functionality and importance of the team.
One might say, aren't these two guys both shooters? What could be different? In fact, the difference between the shooter and the shooter before is still very large. Thompson and Curry, for example, are both historic shooters, but they feel very different. The difference is mainly due to their respective playing styles, as well as their positioning in the team. The way of playing is different, the proportion of various shots is not the same, and the improvement effect on the team is different. And now Hiro and Robinson are exactly two very different samples.
This season, the Heat, while not the team with the highest number of three-point shots in the league, are the team with the highest three-point shooting percentage. This is thanks to the team's two top scorers. Since the season in which they proved themselves, the two youngsters have guaranteed high-frequency three-point shots every season. So far this season, Hiro has averaged 6.7 three-point shots per game, a career-high. The three-point shooting percentage reached 38.5%, second only to the 19th season. (In fact, the gap between the efficiency of three-point shooting in the two seasons is not large, the three-point shooting rate in the first season is 38.9%, but the number of three-point shots in that year is only 5.4, so in comparison, this year should be regarded as improving its production under the condition of ensuring quality.) ）
In comparison, Robinson's data is relatively poor, but it is still passable. So far this season, Robinson has averaged 8.1 three-point shots per game, averaging three shots per game, and his shooting percentage is 37.1%. For a shooter, this hit rate seems a bit unqualified. After all, in the 19th season, Robinson's three-point shooting rate was 44%, and the average number of three-point shots per game at that time was higher than it is now. But in fact, this season's Robinson, the average shot per game is only maintained at about 9.6 shots, and the proportion of three points has reached more than 80%. In other words, his position is so. So there is a little state of ups and downs, personal feeling is still relatively normal.
Statistically, Hiro should be the team's number two scorer. So if he appears as the main force, the team's offensive efficiency should still be considerable. Actually, no, Hiro has only played 10 starts so far this season, more often as a substitute. You know, Hiro's average playing time is now a terrifying 32.7 minutes per game. This kind of appearance time is already a starting treatment, why is it still the number of appearances as a substitute?
The reason is simple, the team needs Hiro to save the second team. It's a very simple question, a team to the end, can't just be a set of lineups. The team's second team is not capable, and the team will certainly not go long. So, in order to avoid this happening, and in order to have players who can save the team in time in the event of a stalemate in the first lineup, Hiro was placed in the second lineup. This scoring ability can revitalize teammates to a certain extent, and also enrich the Heat's tactical system.
So why not Robinson in the second lineup? Because the two play differently, this touches the core, and the shooter's play style is different, that is, it can have different output and positioning. Robinson's style of play is simple, just a pure shooter. He doesn't have to do anything on the court, he just concentrates on finding the right opportunity and then shoots. Even Robinson rarely appears in the mid-range area, and his projection space is just outside the three-point line. For the Heat, the threat of the outside line relies on Robinson to provide.
So you can see that Robinson's shooting indicators have always been divided into the field of no ball, what is the bypass, what is the hand, what is the fixed point projection, these are his best tricks. Although some of Robinson's projections this season are not very good. But as a shooter who has achieved great results, Robinson has never worried about losing. It's a shooter's confidence. As an opponent, everyone naturally can't let Robinson go, as long as he is still running on the field, the opponent must send someone to keep an eye on it. This gives the inside players a lot of offensive space and the opportunity to create tactics. Butler and Adebayor are essentially players who need space, especially Butler, although the ability to cause fouls is very strong, but if you give him a suitable space, he can also provide good output results, which is Butler's demand for the team.
Hiro is also a shooter, but much of his projection comes from his own ball-holding shots. Hiro's shots are won by himself, that is, using various techniques, and then getting out of space and creating scoring opportunities. This kind of shooter is actually very difficult to defend, if he has a strong ability to lead his teammates, he can become the second Curry. Although Hiro's projection level is not as good as Curry's, as long as it can reach 80%, it is enough. Not to mention that he is just carrying a second team, to buy enough rest time for the main force, and to be able to appear as a variable in the game as Ginobili, and the Heat management is already satisfied.
You know, Hiro has only played three seasons now. After three seasons, it can now average 20 points per game, and it does not show a strong attribute of continuing to evolve, and I think no team dares to underestimate Hiro. Of course, as a ball carrier, and a young ball carrier, Hiro was inferior to Robinson in some ways. Because his ball-holding skills are not perfect, and the level of no-ball is relatively low, Hiro is actually prone to various problems when facing opponents. For example, losing a ball, losing the center of gravity of a shot, and so on. Still, the Heat believe the young man can bring hope. Just as Robinson was slightly inaccurate, the team gave enough patience. As long as they find the right path to growth, the Heat will remain one of the most terrifying and promising teams in the league.
