National Basketball Associations (NBA) is the leader of the Toronto Raptors Club Pascal Siakams In the semi-final series of the 2019/2020 season closing games, the Eastern Conference has set a new league anti-record, namely, the basketball player has realized the lowest three-point throw percentage within one series.
It has already been reported that last season’s NBA champion Raptors conceded 87:92 in the decisive game of the Boston Celtics, losing 3-4 in the Eastern Conference semi-final series. In the series against the Celtics, Siakams made only 12.5% of three-point shots, or four of the 32 long shots. This figure is the worst in NBA history, considering only cases where a player has taken at least 30 three-point shots in a single series (691 such cases). For comparison, in 2004 Jason Kids scored long shots with only 14.7% accuracy, while in 2015 Damian Lilards scored only 16.1% of three-pointers.
Siakams himself is aware that he has not completed the best series, admitting that he could show better performance in the semifinals of the Eastern Conference. “Of course I had to be better,” Siakam said. “It simply came to our notice then. Focusing on being prepared, I couldn’t help my teammates. I take a lot of responsibility for the damage. ”
Siakams averaged 23.6 points during the regular season and attacked the basket with 45.9% accuracy, but his score fell in the Orlando bubble when he averaged 16.9 points and 39.4% accuracy.
This season, Siakams can be called a year of breakthrough, because after the departure of Kavai Lenard, he became the team leader. Before the start of the season, the striker signed a new four-year deal with the team for a total of $ 130 million.
