巫師分衛連三戰20+破紀錄 精選

巫師將於明天客場對戰籃網，只要贏下這一戰就能將勝率拉到50%，Bradley Beal有機會在此戰復出。戰績欠佳下，教練Randy Wittman一直非常努力地激勵每個球員打好比賽。The Washington Post記者Jorge Castillo報導，Randy Wittman絕對可以援引陣中的Garrett Temple作例子來鼓勵球隊，因為這名身高6呎6吋的得分後衛剛剛破了一個NBA紀錄因為Bradley Beal的受傷，Randy Wittman讓Garrett Temple出任正選，結果近三場比賽Garrett Temple均攻下20+(vs黃蜂 21分 5籃板, vs帝王 23分 5籃板, vs灰熊 20分 6籃板)，投籃命中率達到53.4%，三分命中率45.5%。要知道Garrett Temple在對黃蜂前已經打了253場常規賽，沒有一場得分上20分。他也成為NBA歷史上第一個在前250+比賽中得分沒有一場上20分的情況下，之後連續3場比賽都轟20+得分的球員。

引用“The main thing is being aggressive,” Temple, 29, said. “”If I see two shots not fall, continue to play, continue to stay aggressive. Maybe get to the rack, get out in transition. That’s helped me out. I think I thrive in transition offensively. Get quick layups, easy layups and it just continues to build the confidence.”

「最重要是保持侵略性。」Garrett Temple談到自已的出色表現時表示

引用“Temp didn’t play that many minutes before,” Wizards forward Jared Dudley said. “Temp is a hard working, hustle player who’s shown you 20 points on back to back nights. He’s showing you that he should play more.”

Jared Dudley亦盛讚這位曾經的落選新秀非常努力。更重要的是，Garrett Temple取得20+的這三戰巫師全部勝出，總算讓戰績有機會達到50%。
