最後幾秒落後3分,LeBron James三分出手製造犯規,但很快的就錯失了第一個罰球,這讓他們沒有機會靠著罰球扳平比分。最終,James只能故意再投丟最後一球,然後試著去爭奪進攻籃板,但沒有那麼容易完成這樣的盤算,湖人最終2分見負給勇士。
湖人全場在罰球線上是33罰僅22中,如果再多掌握幾顆罰球呢?本賽季湖人整體罰球命中率為72.2%,在聯盟中排名倒數第二。一次又一次,這讓球隊付出了很多敗場代價,而周六只是最近的一個例子。
引用Anthony Davis:“我們必須去健身房,投更多的罰球,這是擺脫困境的唯一方法。從我開始。我在罰球線上一直很糟糕,尤其是最近2場比賽....首先是我需要在罰球線上表現得更好。當我整場比賽中錯過罰球時,我會採取個人化的做法,尤其是在關鍵時刻。我們都必須變得更好,就像我說的那樣,我今晚一開始時就錯過了2球,這有點影響到球隊。
“我認為唯一的辦法就是慢慢來,把他們擊倒。顯然,當你錯過很多或者你在整個比賽過程中錯過了一部份,它就會變得比什麼都重要……就像我說的,從我開始,我最近一直很糟糕,我必須改變它。”
Davis在對勇士的比賽中10罰6中,他提到的另一場比賽則是4罰1中。在他過去的4場比賽,AD的罰球是29罰15中,這段時間在罰球線上的掙扎反映了整支球隊的同樣問題。
即使在2019-20的奪冠賽季,他們也只有72.9%的命中率排在聯盟28位。Davis該季場均罰球次數(8.5)和命中率(84.6%)都領先全隊,但本季則是生涯最差的70.7%。一些有可靠命中率的球員離開也讓準度再往下探,包含Kentavious Caldwell-Pope、Dennis Schröder等人。
Avery Bradley和Austin Reaves的罰球命中率領先全隊,但他們整季只有寥寥可數的合計67次罰球機會。Carmelo Anthony則是有效樣本中最高的,這位老牌射手有82.4%的水準。Talen Horton-Tucker是另一個勉強達到80%關卡的球員,然後就沒有其他人能讓教練團安心看著罰球決定勝負了。
引用Frank Vogel:“罰球一直在傷害我們,我們一直在談論它,繼續投入訓練。如果你想達到最終目標,你必須檢查所有這些可能影響季後賽的細微事情。現在連續5場比賽我們的命中率都低於70%,這是我們必須鎖定的東西,如果我們要扭轉局面,我們就必須具備這方面的能力。”
湖人本賽季有9場輸個位數分差的失利,球隊本賽季有24次單場比賽的罰球命中率在70%或以下,全聯盟只有休士頓火箭的30場表現更為差勁。所以與其在那邊討論教練調度如何讓人迷惘,或是Westbrook有多麼不相容於球隊,還不如先把那該死的罰球給罰進再說吧。

引用“We’ve got to go in the gym and shoot more free throws,” Anthony Davis said. “That’s the only way to get out of it. And it starts with me. I’ve been terrible from the line, especially the last two (games)... It starts with me being better at the line. I take that personal when I miss free throws throughout the entire game, but especially in crunch time. We’ve just all got to be better, like I said, I started off tonight missing two early and it kind of just trickled down to the team.
“I think the only way is to take our time and knock ‘em down. Obviously when you miss a lot, or you miss some throughout the course of a game, it becomes mental more than anything... Like I said, it starts with me. I’ve been bad as of late and I’ve got to change that.”

引用“Free-throw shooting keeps hurting us,” head coach Frank Vogel said. “We keep talking about it, keep putting the work in... If you want to reach the ultimate goal, you have to check all these boxes of little things that go into the differences in close games that could sway a playoff series. So I think it’s five games in a row now where we shot under 70%, and it’s just something that we’ve got to lock into. We’ve got to have that aspect of it if we’re going to turn the corner.”
