Lillard shot 26.2 percent from three-point range ahead of today's game with the Hornets, and with 2-of-14 shooting today, Lillard is shooting 23.2 percent from 56 from three-point range this season. At one point in the first three games of the game, he shot 2 of 24 and shot only 8% from three-point range. The first five three-point performances were: 0-of-9 shooting for the Kings, 2-of-7 for the Suns, 0-of-8 for the Clippers, 4-of-11 for the Grizzlies, and after 5-of-7 shooting for the Clippers, everyone said Lillard had found his watch. But lillard shot another 2-of-14 against the Hornets today, and it seems that Lillard has thrown his watch at home for the Clippers again.
Lillard shot 39 percent from three-point range last season and averaged 4.1 three-pointers per game, the second-highest average in the league in terms of three-pointers per game, behind Curry. The shooting percentage is nearly 16 percentage points lower this season, and the number of shots is only half that of last season. So what is it that makes Lillard's three-point misalignment?
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="01" > affected by the new rules of the union? </h1>
This season, the league has revised the rules for shooting fouls, which are basically several ways to create fouls for unconventional, such as Trae Young's sharp brakes, Doncic's abnormal angle shooting and other ways. So, does the new rule have an impact on Lillard? The answer is that the impact is not large, Lillard is generally a kill breakthrough to create fouls, will not deliberately deceive the opponent to foul, especially the league modified several ways to create fouls, not Lillard's regular operation, he will not be too affected by the rules.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="02">球队更换教练的影响？ </h1>
This is a more important reason, this season the Blazers replaced the head coach with Bilups, he first changed the team's system, compared to the previous head coach Stotts, he emphasized more defense, the Blazers defense also rose from the penultimate to the sixth last season. At the same time, he also asked Lillard to change the way he played, reducing the ball holding, and allowing McCollum and Simmons to increase the ball holding. In this way, Lillard will have more shots through the no-ball running position, but Lillard has been accustomed to attacking with the ball since entering the league, including three points, but also through the jump shot after holding the ball, this style of play is not the same as the rhythm of shooting without the ball, and it will definitely take time to adapt.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="03">自身状态不好</h1>
Basketball players play a lot of things to do with their state, Lillard said in an interview that he is just in bad shape, he has also scored 50+ in 4 consecutive games, to realize that he will have a bad state, this is part of the game. Indeed, even if you are as strong as Curry, there will be times when the three points are not performing well. His own poor form is the main reason for Lillard's recent three-point misalignment.
Given Lillard's recent performance, many people have begun to question that Lillard's previous data performance was piled up with a large number of balls, he is not a real superstar, and he is not worthy of being selected as one of the 75 biggest stars in the history of the league. So, what do you think?
