Three-pointers make the basketball game worse? D Antoni: I don t agree with it making the game more fun!

June 2 News Recently, former NBA head coach D'Antoni participated in a podcast program and talked about the era of three points.

D'Antoni said: "Every coach knows that if you want to win, you must have excellent defense. This is basic common sense. But the problem is that all offensive systems are designed to attack the weakest link in the opponent's defense. For example, when we played the Bucks, their center (Lopez of the Greater) was always at the basket, and Gobert was also the kind of center who likes to stay in the penalty area. In this case, your offense cannot always rush to the penalty area because it is blocked there.

"Our primary goal is always to score layups, right? But when you can't get in, you have to adjust your offensive thinking or attacking point, so shooting more three-pointers becomes a more effective choice.

"So I don't agree with the statement that 'three points make the game worse'. I think it makes the game more interesting. You see Stephen Curry - he almost represents the three-pointer. If the three points have no place in the league, it's a crime to lose the stage for a player like him.

"Now you look at it, it's absolutely safe to have no lead in the game, which is a good thing, and no team has been able to defend the title successfully in the past five to ten years, why? Because the three-pointer opens up the space for the game, giving every team a chance to become a strong team that dominates the league. ”
