Nets coach Jason Kidd didn’t think Paul Pierce was going to play Monday night.
Pierce, dealing with an injured shoulder, played. He played 30 minutes, scored 15 points, and hit the biggest shot of the night, a 3-pointer that gave the Nets a three-point lead with 1:14 left and propelled them to a big win over the visiting Raptors.
籃網的總教練Jason Kidd本來不認為Paul Pierce星期一能夠出賽,但他帶著肩傷上場了30分鐘,拿下15分,而且在最後1分14秒的時候投進這場比賽最關鍵的三分球,幫助籃網取得3分領先,同時帶領他們贏下了這場對暴龍的賽事。
It was a tough shot, because Kyle Lowry was in Pierce’s shirt with a hand in his face. But Pierce had to take it because the shot clock was about to expire.
And maybe it didn’t matter that Lowry was there, because, according to SportVU, Pierce has shot better on contested jumpers than uncontested jumpers. Among 92 players who have attempted at least 100 of each, only one — the Pelicans’ Brian Roberts — has a bigger discrepancy.
這是個高難度的投籃,因為Kyle Lowry整個人都貼在Pierce身上,手也擋住了臉,但是進攻時間24秒快到了,Pierce只能出手。然而Lowry的干擾可能無關緊要,因為根據SportVU的資料,Pierce當有人防守時的跳投比空檔跳投還要出色,在這兩種情況下都出手超過100次的球員有92位,其中只有鵜鶘的Brain Roberts排名勝過他。

Minimum 100 of each.
Contested = Any jump shot outside of 10 feet with a defender within four feet of the shooter.
Note: We’re looking at standard field goal percentage and not effective field goal percentage to simply see the effect on a player’s success rate.
That LeBron James has shot better on contested jumpers is more incentive for defenses to play off him on the perimeter, as the Spurs did (successfully, until Game 7) in The Finals.
The league has shot 5.4 percent better on uncontested jumpers this season. But a contest will affect some players more than others. On the opposite end of the spectrum from Roberts and Pierce is the Suns’ Goran Dragic …
LeBron James在這份清單也名列前茅,這種守了比不守還準的特性,趨使防守者針對他採取外線放投的策略,去年總冠軍賽馬刺也採用相同的策略(結果還蠻有效的,直到第7戰才破功)。全聯盟平均在空檔跳投時命中率會提升5.4%,不過有些人跳投時特別容易受到防守者的影響,和Roberts以及Pierce完全相反,在這份清單的最後一名便是太陽的Goran Dragic…

Josh Smith | 126 | 380 | 33.2% | 28 | 129 | 21.7% | 11.5% |
For some of these guys, the difference is about how well they shoot when they’re left open. For some, it’s about how poorly they shoot when there’s a defender nearby. Josh Smith probably shouldn’t shoot jumpers at all.
這些傢伙中,有人是因為空檔跳投神準,有人卻是被防守對位時特別差勁,而Josh Smith則是完全不應該跳投。
