Split: I told the players that the sense of shooting and ball control will always come back, and they must maintain confidence in shooting.
6686 Sports November 6th NBA regular season, the Trail Blazers narrowly defeated the Thunder 121-119 today, ending their opponent's eight-game winning streak.
In this game, Trail Blazers player Avdija took all of his first 11 shots, but regained control of the ball in the fourth quarter. He made 4 of 5 shots in a single quarter and scored 11 points, helping the team complete a 22-point reversal.
After the game, when the team's interim coach Split was interviewed, the reporter asked: "Avdija didn't score a single goal in the first three quarters. He basically relied on free throws to score, and he didn't score a few goals until the last quarter. How do you think of his adjustment in mentality?"
Split said: "In fact, not only Avdija, many people contributed to this victory. Holiday played well, Khama La made a key goal in the second quarter, and Reese also performed steadily, scoring three three-pointers, and the defensive end was also very solid. "
The reporter asked: "Can you talk about Avdija in detail? Even if he has not scored before, he is still affecting the game. How does he do this without scoring much?" Split said: "He is a player who is very good at breaking through. Chu. He always tries to hit the basket, so he can create a lot of free throw opportunities. We work hard to open up space for him and create new angles for him to attack the basket. He likes to break through with the ball and sometimes even rushes in at all costs. "The reporter asked: "You did a very good job on the offensive end in the fourth quarter. The team scored 40 points in a single quarter and the shooting rate was as high as 81%. Which aspects were executed particularly well? "Split said: "The main thing is that Avdija played very well, and so did the other players. I have always emphasized to them that when you fail to score in a row, you will always come back with a sense of shooting and control. Tonight's result is the best proof - although I did not expect our shooting rate to be 80%, which is really amazing."
