Bojan Bogdanovic, Malik Beasley same fight. The Wolves shooter imitated his Jazz counterpart by slamming 11 3-pointers against the Thunder tonight. The second had needed 18 attempts to reach this mark, where the first shot 17 times without ever trying his luck inside the arc (the Croatian had taken a shot in the racket).
Like the European, Malik Beasley captured the franchise record for most 3-point shots scored in a game, as well as the record for an entire season. Kevin Love was the holder of the latter with 190 award-winning baskets scored during the 2013/14 season.
A performance widely hailed by his teammates, with the sprinkling of Gatorade in order, and by the audience of the Target Center busy chanting “Beasley!” “. ” It was a great moment”he appreciates. “We have a great team and teammates who care about each other. It was huge to take part in this moment.“
The back can notably thank his leader, D’Angelo Russell, behind several laser passes to free him. Author of a few “catch-and-shoots”, he however converted the majority of his shots into dribble exits, after a feint to shift. Or after a small number like his 11th converted shot in front of Vit Krejci after a succession of dribbles between the legs, à la James Harden. ” It was madness. In my head, I said to myself that it was extra. It was out of dribble too so even better. “
Good current form
” It’s obvious that with the shooters, when they see the ball go in so often, so easily, so early in the game, the circle widens for them. The key to this success was the movement of the ball. […] I was really proud of Malik because he didn’t push hard to get those shots. He let them come to him “appreciates Chris Finch.
The latter, while the gap with OKC was made, preferred to take out his player on fire five minutes from the end of the match, thus leaving him 3-baskets scored from the absolute record in this area set by Klay Thompson. ” If I had had more time, I would have certainly broken this record “, displays rather confident Malik Beasley (30 minutes tonight) who smiles, saying he asked during the match what the record was.
His performance confirms his current return to form, at the heart of a very complicated season in terms of address (39%). ” Earlier in the season, I struggled and people worried about me, but I’m just happy that the fans are on my side again and that we move forward together collectively. “Since the “All-Star Break”, he has averaged 18 points with much better percentages (54% overall and by far).
