After the explosion, Scoot Henderson hopes for consistency

0, 13, 20, 3 and 39. This is not the last Euromillions draw, but points from Scoot Henderson during the last five meetings. Last night, against the Nets, the Blazers' sophomore playmaker broke his career scoring record, with 39 points at 13/18 shooting including 8/10 from distance.

It did not prevent another defeat for his team, but it was at least a reason for satisfaction.

“I’ve seen it catch fire like this before.” reacted Chauncey Billupswho confided that his player had done great training beforehand. “I'm very happy to have seen him do that tonight and to have stayed focused throughout the match. It was good to see him transfer what he did (in training) to the field. »

Don't think

The 3rd choice of the 2023 Draft had success with him, like on this 3-pointer in the second quarter where the ball bounced on the front of the circle, before still sliding into the net.

“At that point I was like, ‘Oh my God. I turned around and said to myself that the ball liked me today” he smiled. “I was just in the rhythm. To do what I know how to do. Without thinking. »

A strategy that he intends to repeat so that this kind of performance is more regular.

“You have to be consistent”he concluded about the lessons to be learned from his performance. “That’s one of the main things I tell myself is that I have to be consistent in what I do. In everything I do. Off the field. On the ground. Stay focused on what I'm doing. Be consistent, and don't think. »
