Barely ten award-winning baskets per game, around 32% success rate… Since the start of the season, Washington has been one of the very poor students in terms of long-distance skill. To beat the Jazz tonight, without Bradley Beal, the Wizards signed their best performance of the year behind the arc with 16 3-point baskets, on 36 attempts.
This good ratio coincided with the best match of Corey Kispert. While he had not yet exceeded the ten-point mark this season, the winger planted 18 points, without missing a single shot (6/6 including 4/4 from afar and 2/2 from free throws) , with 4 rebounds and 2 assists.
Maximum efficiency which he explains by his playing time, which is longer than usual. ” I was given enough time to lay down my game and stretch myself. Nothing really changed in how I prepared or what I made or ate for lunch today, it was just a matter of time “, thinks the person concerned, who stayed 29 minutes on the floor.
In game to shoot
He hadn’t played as much during this season, which he started later than the others. Hampered by a sprained ankle, he had to skip the first eight games of this exercise. Since his return from the infirmary, the 15th choice of the 2021 Draft had been discreet in the attack of the Wizards.
This game came as a reminder to Kristaps Porzingis and others that he is ” one of the best shooters in the team “. ” When he finds that rhythm and locks his shot, defenses have to make choices. What I love about him is how good he is at cutting towards the circle. In many situations, he plays like a veteran with ten years of experience. He does the right readings, tough cuts, all the right stuff », greets the Latvian.
The former Gonzaga star, who has become a role player in the Great League, tries not to put pressure on himself with regard to his current missions. “ This is the reason why I came to this league. It’s my job to come in and shoot. When the shots don’t fall, it’s frustrating for sure. But it’s worth evenings like this, where everything is fine “Enthuses the shooter.
