又是換新球的問題？上季聯盟最準的快艇外線命中率直直落

在Paul George狂砍42分仍舊輸給拓荒者之後，快艇一度陷入1勝4負的慘淡困境。不過狀態火熱的PG在對雷霆與灰狼的比賽持續以高命中率繳出32分，並在這2場比賽合計貢獻15籃板和15次助攻，這才幫助快艇連勝而有點暫時止跌的態勢。
少了Kawhi Leonard當然是戰力上最大缺口，但是陣容上算是兵多將廣的快艇應該還是有團隊進攻能撐腰，究竟是什麼問題讓球隊陷入掙扎呢？有可能是換了新球？


NBA本季將原本的Spalding更換為Wilson品牌用球，已經有不少球員公開宣稱這影響到投籃手感。而這不是為自己找藉口，到目前為止2周的比賽下來，聯盟外線命中率明顯下降。本季聯盟平均三分命中率34.2%，這是自1998-99 賽季以來最差的，當年聯盟平均命中率則是33.9%。
George本季投籃命中率50.7%以及三分球42.2%，顯然並不是受害者，但他還是站出來表示新球確實影響到球員發揮。



扛下領袖角色的George應該是在為至今表現低迷的隊友說話。他和Luke Kennard是本季全隊外線命中率唯二正常的球員(42%與41%)，除了他們之外的快艇球員都不到30%。

休賽季期間，快艇以Eric Bledsoe和Justise Winslow來填補Patrick Beverley與Kawhi Leonard的位置，這代表原本上季38.2%和38.4%三分命中率的球員被生涯33.6%和32.3%的球員取代。而且Bledsoe這季三分命中率低到只剩13%，Winslow根本還沒投進過三分球。


簡單來說快艇的問題出在三分線上的退步。目前快艇三分球出手次數在聯盟中排名第6，但命中率僅排在第23位，而上賽季他們是聯盟外線最準的球隊。而這並不是對手的防守加壓有多強，純粹是自己的手感不佳。

以所謂的空檔投籃來說，在防守者距離4-6呎的情況下，快艇投籃命中率是30.1%，而上賽季同樣是領先聯盟的40.9%。然後更大的空檔也就是當防守者距離6呎外時，快艇命中率則是35.6%，而上賽季高達44.4%。


Leonard暫時是回不來了，擁有絕佳狀態George的快艇其他成員現在能做的就是趕快找到投籃感覺，或者說.....快點跟Wilson混熟一點吧。

引用• It’s a small, two-week sample size, but three-point shooting is down significantly so far. This season’s 34.2 percent league average mark from three is the worst since the 1998-99 season, when the league average was a 33.9 percent shooting clip. Paul George believes the NBA’s new Wilson basketball could be creating some issues for guys around the league.

引用the Clippers have generated 113 three-point attempts deemed ‘open,’ meaning a defender is within four-to-six feet. Problem is they’ve only made 34 of those 113 attempts (30.1 percent). They’ve also generated a total of 101 ‘wide open’ shots, meaning a defender is more than six feet away. They’ve made 36 of those 82 attempts (35.6 percent).

For context, the 2020-21 Clippers led the league in three-point shooting percentage on both ‘open’ shots (40.9 percent) and ‘wide open’ shots (44.4 percent).

引用The team spent this offseason re-tooling, essentially replacing Patrick Beverley and Kawhi Leonard with Bledsoe and Winslow. So the guys who shot 38.2 percent and 38.4 percent, respectively, from three last year were essentially replaced in the lineup by guys who shoot 33.6 and 32.3 percent, respectively, from three for their careers.
