Klay in October and Klay in November are players of completely different levels in terms of statistics: if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought that Steve Kerr had sent a fake soup K into the game. Klay Thompson’s performance in October she was extremely negative, but she was different in November and her performance soared. What’s the secret? What did Klay do to become a shooter again? This article will lead you to find out.
The success rate of C&S has been greatly improved.. Saying Klay Thompson’s most signature ability is, of course, Grab and Shoot. In the 2016 dribble match he scored 60 points with only 11 dribbles, he only touched the ball for 88.4 seconds in the whole match, less than two minutes, of course we can’t forget the 2019 43 dribbles. Basically, Klay Thompson is been synonymous with C&S for the past decade. Trouble is, his C&S three-point shooting percentage in the season opener this year is only 24.4%. You read right. In the past, when you caught the ball, shoot it. If you shoot it, you score it. Klay, C&S has shot just 24.4% from three to start the season. In such circumstances, poor performance is natural.
But a shooter is a shooter, after all, and 10+ years of hard training won’t let Klay down easily. In November, he quickly recovered his touch and his C&S hitting percentage was back to its normal 44.7%. best skills have been recovered, his overall performance has improved significantly. He is reasonable and reasonable. The most important reason for the increase in the average data per game is that Klay has regained the touch of C&S outside shooting.

The Warriors system already relies heavily on Klay’s ability to control the outside line. Without him, the Warriors system will be half-abolished. If he can’t make shots from the outside line, Wiggins will have no room for singles and opponents can double Curry more recklessly. , Chasing Dream Green also didn’t have a partner to team up with, so when Klay slowly found the rhythm of the end of the showing, it was obvious that the Warriors’ record was starting to plateau. This is the huge influence of Curry our Klay C&S.
more gaps
Many people have claimed that there was an issue with Klay’s shot selection when Klay was low level. At that time, the author’s opinion was not like that. After all, Tough Shot was originally one of Klay’s skill points. However, after reviewing the data, I found that this idea was inconsistent with the data findings. It’s the same, after all, when Klay’s performance returned to normal in November, his shot selection was more “controlled.” “.
NBA Stats has a data capable of counting the current shooting situation of the players, which are divided into Very Tight, Tight, Open and Wide Open. In a nutshell, it is an indicator capable of judging whether a player’s shooting is empty. monthly shooting data, it can be found that Klay reduced shooting under tight defense in November and increased open and wide shooting opportunities. Vulgar translation means that Klay missed many hard shots and chose more open attacks. And the point is, Klay’s understanding of the gap is not the same. It might be hard for you to tell me anything, but in October, Klay Wide Open’s shooting percentage from the outside was only 10%, and only one goal was scored on ten shots, which is almost similar to Ben Simmons’ outside line.
After reading this data, the reasons for Klay’s rejuvenation are more obvious: first, the characteristic C&S accuracy has returned, which has increased from 24% to 44%, then the number of poor shots has decreased and added reasonable throws, resulting in joint improvement. The most important thing is the grip of the outside line. Not only has the shooting feel improved, but the shooting style has also changed slightly. With these two data, Warriors fans should feel comfortable about Klay’s future performance. We know Buddha soup.

Helping the Warriors back to normal Now that Klay is back to normal, we can discuss how this can help the Warriors. First and foremost, of course, is sharing the pressure on Curry. I think Curry is a bit overworked at the start of the season. A 34-year veteran must play 34 minutes a game. Also, his play style requires him to run constantly and opponents will stare at him. This is definitely a burden on Curry’s fitness. When Klay gets back to normal, I think it’s necessary to reduce Curry’s playtime moderately. It’s just a month off.
“I think we can try to have Klay and Poole play together in the future. Either way, it’s not a day or two for the Warriors to practice Poole’s ball handling. It’s only because he and Klay are super unstable at the start of the game.” season”. on the feeling of the day, but now that it’s back to normal, it should be possible to reduce Curry+Poole time and dedicate some time to Klay+Poole. In fact, the Warriors don’t like to use Klay+Poole as a Backcourt Combo this year. The third last from the bottom. Of course I know they are all biased towards the end of the goal but now that Klay’s touching is back to normal and the Warriors need to practice Poole’s ball handling again. I think it’s a good thing for them to play more, especially since Curry is so tired He It makes sense to give these two a chance to mesh.
In short, Klay’s rejuvenation can be expected. The author never doubted his abilities. In November, he regained his signature skills and made smarter shot selection. It is reasonable to increase his performance. I hope that because of this, the Warriors can slowly get back to the right track and head up to West Four.
