Chet: I don’t just make random shots just because I’ve scored a few goals. I always look for the most appropriate option.
6686 Sports October 26th NBA regular season, the Thunder defeated the Hawks 117-100 in the visiting team today and achieved three consecutive victories.
In this game, Thunder star Chet Holmgren played well. He played only 27 minutes, making 8 of 12 shots, 6 of 8 three-pointers, and 9 of 10 free throws. He scored a team-high 31 points, plus 12 rebounds, 1 assist, 3 interceptions and 1 block, with a plus-minus value of +16. Six three-pointers in a single game also tied his career record for three-pointers in a single game.
In the post-game interview, Holmgren talked about the feeling of hitting 6 three-pointers in this game. He said: "When you see yourself hitting several three-pointers in a row, your playing style will naturally relax a lot. You will definitely look for the next shot opportunity, but I don't believe in 'hot ball control' - it will not be because of how many three-pointers you have scored. After the ball, I started taking bad shots blindly. I was always looking for the most appropriate shot.”
In the three games so far this season, Holmgren has averaged 24.7 points, 10.3 rebounds and 1.7 steals per game, shooting 56.1% from the field and 42.1% from the three-point range.
