Chapter 226 Carnival Basketball

After returning from Los Angeles, the Bucks had two days to rest and regroup.

George Karl originally just wanted to analyze which of the last stretch of games would be the toughest to play, but then an assistant coach named Jim Todd brought a matter to his attention, "George, this might go against your intuition, but it is true."

Karl nodded, "Go on."

"The more three-point shots we take, the better we perform," Todd said dramatically. "I've compiled the data from every game since last season, and it turns out that whenever we attempt twenty-five threes in a game, we win."

This was "tailor-made" data.

Because they shot accurately, they shot frequently.

And in the Big Ball Era, shooting threes with precision naturally could turn the game around; winning was expected.

If you limit that number to twenty three-point attempts per game, that's not far off from the Bucks' current average (eighteen attempts).

Even so, the conclusion remains correct.
