Joe Falkes stood on the field and listened carefully to the cheers of the audience around him.

Although he only played a few games, Joe Falkers can already enjoy the treatment of a sports star in the city of Philadelphia.

A big pitcher like Joe Folkes was unique in basketball at that time, and Joe Folkes used one-handed shooting skills, which was a scene that could not be seen in other professional basketball games.

People are curious, and fans are even more so. If a star has a unique technology, then fans will always expect the star to use this technology. Moreover, this unique technology is equivalent to an exclusive feature that allows fans to remember the star, and the star will also gain greater popularity and more fans.

This is probably like a Northeastern Duo Renzhuan actor, who has several "unique skills" in his hands. This "unique skills" is the most sharp weapon to attract audiences. These "unique skills" may not be so exciting, and some even seem to be inhumane self-harm. However, as a form of artistic performance, it is enough to attract audiences. After all, the performance exists for the audience.

This is the case with Joe Folks. Although fans may not like his one-handed shooting skills, nor may they like this big pitcher floating outside, Joe Folks' uniqueness has made fans remember him and made many people start to like him.

Joe Folkes' performance in the previous few games made fans cheer for him. In three consecutive games, Joe Folkes scored more than 20 points. Such data, even in the future NBA, can reach the threshold of the All-Star. In the 1940s, such data was a god-level performance.

In the season when Joe Folkes won the scoring champion in history, he averaged 23.2 points per game. In the future, how could the scoring champion average more than 30 points per game? For example, Harden's average of 36.1 points per game, which was an absolute god-level performance. Joe Folkes in the 1940s had the scoring ability equivalent to Harden of that era.

Moreover, Philadelphia itself is a city with a strong sports atmosphere. In this city, the living conditions of sports stars are much better than those of other cities. This city has the craziest fans in the United States and can even riots for sports. Sports stars in this city can always enjoy the warmest cheers.

Joe Falkes looked at the team's head coach Eddie Gottlieb again, and a touching feeling rose in his heart.

Joe Folkes, who was 1.98 meters tall, was definitely a big man in basketball at that time, and he also had excellent bounces, so the coach would ask him to run to the basket and have physical confrontation with those inside players.

However, Joe Folkes doesn't like this style of play. He prefers to stay on the outside and use his best one-handed jump shot to complete the score. Compared to completing the offense at the basket, the jump shot is more exciting. Joe Folkes enjoys the expectation of waiting for a goal after shooting a basketball.

Unfortunately, in that era, mid-range jump shots were absolutely forbidden, and every coach Joe Folkes encountered was not allowed to use jump shots until he met Eddie Gottlieb.

Gottlieb allowed Joe Folkes to use one-handed jump shots and even allowed him to shoot at long distances. Gottlieb also formulated tactics in order to allow Joe Folkes to fully play mid- and long-distance jump shots.

This made Joe Folkes feel that his thousand-mile horse finally met Bole!

Joe Folkes, who had not been recognized, finally met a coach who could recognize him, which made him feel like he was dying for his confidant. Therefore, since the start of the new season, Joe Folkes has played very hard in every game. He wants to repay Coach Gottlieb's kindness for his goodwill, and also prove to the world that mid- and long-distance jump shots are possible!

When the whistle at the beginning of the game sounded, Joe Folks quickly entered the state. Although this was only the first attack and his body had not yet fully heated up, his heart was hot. When the basketball was passed into his hands, the feeling of boiling blood filled him with strength.

Jump up and shoot, Joe Folks started this offense with his best one-handed shooting technique.

The moment the basketball shot, Joe Falkes even thought that the New York Knicks must have been stunned by their special offensive method!

In the surrounding audience, a cheer of expectation also rang out at this moment. Joe Folkes' jump shot is definitely the offensive method that home audiences want to see the most.

Joe Folkes's bounce was very good, and he deserved the nickname "Jump Joe", so his shooting point was very high, and the basketball flew in the air, transformed into an arc, and then smashed on the basket.

Joe Falks didn't throw the ball.

Several disappointed voices sounded around, but Joe Folkes didn't care. After all, the game had just begun and the feel had not been cultivated yet. It was normal not to make a shot. As long as you shoot a few more times and slowly cultivate the feel, you can definitely make a shot.

Chen Qiang smiled and shook his head. In his opinion, Joe Folks's one-handed shooting skills still have more room for improvement.

Joe Folkes is the first person in the NBA to use one-handed shooting skills, which also means that Joe Folkes' one-handed shooting is the most primitive one-handed shooting skills. After decades of development, basketball has been continuously improved. Later one-handed shooting skills are naturally more scientific and standardized.

After looking at Joe Folkes' shooting posture, Chen Qiang didn't think Joe Folkes would have a high shooting percentage.

There are also many strange shooting postures in the future NBA, but those pitchers who are truly remembered will never use that strange posture to shoot. Every epic pitcher, their shooting posture is all a textbook for shooting.

For example, Ray Allen, Curry, such undisputed master pitchers, their shooting posture is definitely the best textbook for learning jump shots. For example, Jordan's emergency stop jump shot, Kobe's "painted as a picture", McGrady's pullout, and Harden's step-back. Although these shooting methods have a strong personal style and are even unmatched by others, their shooting posture can be learned as textbooks.

And a few guys who shot strangely in the NBA, such as Sean Marion and Kyle Martin, although they have also had good statistics and even entered the All-Star lineup, no one would think they are great pitchers, and no coach would suggest players to learn their shooting postures. Their names are not remembered by most people, and perhaps many young fans of the new generation will think their names are strange.

Joe Folkes' one-handed shooting posture was indeed very advanced in 1942, but in the eyes of later generations, it was very strange. Any professional basketball coach would not think that such a shooting would have a satisfactory shooting percentage in the shooting posture.

In fact, Joe Folks' shooting percentage is really not very high.

Joe Folkes is the first scoring champion in NBA history. In the season when he won the scoring champion, he averaged 23.2 points per game, which seems very good today. His shooting percentage was only a pitiful 30.5%. The next year, Joe Folkes' shooting percentage dropped to 25.9%, and his free throw shooting percentage fell below 70% at the worst!

As a pitcher, his shooting percentage is only 25% and his free throw shooting percentage is less than 70%, which is definitely difficult to imagine in later generations. Compared with the scoring champion of modern times, Harden's shooting percentage has reached 44%. Even Westbrook, who is praised by many as a "data brush", had a shooting percentage of 42.5% in the season when he was the scoring champion.

In comparison, Joe Folkes' hit rate is really pitifully low!

Basketball in the 1940s had no three-pointer. At that time, one goal was two points. If you scored 30% of the shooting percentage, you would score three of them, which would score 6 points. If you could shoot 40 times in each game, you would get 24 points. In other words, Joe Folks' scoring champion was exchanged for nearly 40 attempts per game. If this was in later generations, it would definitely be a "ball dominant" level. Westbrook, the "data brush" in the eyes of fans, only averaged 24 attempts per game. Kobe scored 34 points in 41 attempts, almost being slapped to death by fans. From this aspect, Joe Folks is better than Westbrook.

However, in that era, no one accused Joe Falkes of being a data number. In the eyes of most people, it is already a great thing that such medium and long-distance jump shots can have a hit rate of 30%.

Comparing the superstar George McCann of the same period, his average shooting percentage was only 42.8% in his peak season. You should know that George McCann is a center and an invincible existence at the basket. However, such a player who relies on the offense at the basket has the best shooting percentage of only 40%, which is not as good as Curry's three-point shooting percentage. This also shows that in that era, the players' shooting percentage was indeed pitifully low.

...

Joe Falks missed the shot, the ball rights were converted, and it was the New York Knicks' turn to attack.

The Knicks are still the signature breakthrough and pass the ball. The players holding the ball quickly break through, attracting the Warriors' defense attention, and then allocated the ball to Chen Qiang who was waiting on the outside. After Chen Qiang received the ball, he directly chose to shoot.

Chen Qiang's shooting was beyond the expectations of the Warriors.

"What? He voted too!"

"Will anyone else shoot at such a distance besides Joe Falkes?"

Joe Folkes couldn't believe his eyes. He didn't expect someone would use the same offensive method as him!

"How is that possible!" Joe Folks exclaimed in his heart, and then watched the basketball enter the basket.

"Shot?" Joe Falkes couldn't believe his eyes. He thought that only he would float on the outside to make a jump shot, but he didn't expect that there were people like him. More importantly, they even made a shot, but Joe Falkes missed it!

Receiving and shooting are originally the type of shooting with Chen Qiang's highest shooting percentage, not to mention that when no one is on guard, it is similar to shooting practice, with one shot accurate.

Philadelphia Warriors head coach Gottlieb stood up directly from the bench: "Is it a coincidence? How could anyone use this alternative offensive method besides Joe Falkers?"

Gottlieb has been a basketball coach for so many years and finally discovered a player like Joe Falkes who can make a jump shot from the outside. Gottlieb originally thought that Joe Falkes was a unique existence. In addition to Joe Falkes, it is impossible for anyone to study this kind of alternative offense and defense. Now Chen Qiang is also jumping on the outside, instantly breaking Gottlieb's cognition.

Although Gottlieb is talking about "coincidence", as a senior basketball coach, Gottlieb knows that there are not so many coincidences in basketball. Basketball is a technical sport after all, and the so-called coincidence is also based on practice and experience.

In sports competitions, strength is still compared. The so-called luck or coincidence is also supported by strength. For example, there are many ultimate kills in NBA, or the so-called "God's Moment". These seemingly incredible performances are not just luck or coincidences. Behind them are the players' countless practices and the experience accumulated in hundreds or thousands of games.

...

Chen Qiang's shooting surprised Joe Folkes, and his mentality seemed to have been affected. He did not make a shot in the next attack. The Philadelphia Warriors did not seem to have planned to change other offensive methods, and they were determined to let Joe Folkes' shooting.

The average of nearly 40 shots per game is really not a blow, Joe Folkes has unlimited fire rights.

On the Knicks' offense, the offense should be more diverse. The tactics of rapid breakthroughs have many changes. Whether it is successful or unsuccessful breakthroughs, there are many tactical choices, so the Knicks' offense will not stick to Chen Qiang's offense.

After completing his first jump shot, Chen Qiang did not shoot again for four consecutive attacks. It was not until Joe Falkes made a goal that Chen Qiang chose another mid-range jump shot.

This time, Joe Folks also saw Chen Qiang's shooting posture clearly.

"Like me, I'm also shooting with one hand!" Joe Folkes took a breath.

With the same outside pitcher, this made Joe Folkes feel incredible, and the opponent used a one-handed shot!

"Why can he shoot one-handedly?" Joe Folks suddenly felt a sense of frustration in his heart.

Joe Folkes has always thought that he is a unique existence in basketball, with jump shots from the outside and one-handed shooting skills that others do not have, and this is also something that Joe Folkes is quite proud of.

But today, Chen Qiang's appearance broke Joe Folks' sense of superiority, which made him realize that he was no longer the first and unique existence.

This is like a very face-saving young man showing off his brand sports car, thinking that this sports car is the only limited edition model in the world. However, the next second he found that an exact same sports car also appeared in front of him, and the other person's sports car has stronger power and better handling. Who can I ask for reason!

This is probably the case with Joe Folkes now. He has already felt that Chen Qiang's one-handed shooting posture seems to be more beautiful and elegant than his one-handed shooting posture!

...

On the sidelines, Warriors head coach Gottlieb also saw Chen Qiang's shooting posture from later generations clearly.

"What a beautiful shot, it's so smooth, it's simply art! This kind of shooting makes it easier to score!" Gottlieb couldn't help but sigh.

There are no other pitchers in this era, and Gottlieb has never seen the world, so Chen Qiang's jump shot with a standard posture is already "painted as beautiful" in Gottlieb's eyes.

However, after sighing, Gottlieb suddenly realized something.

If the jump shot makes scoring simple, then the era of pitchers is coming!
Chapter completed!
