Who is the beneficiary of the new three-pointer rule? Jokic beats Curry and defeats the Lakers defender tenth

I believe everyone already knows that before the start of next season, the official updated the rules, that is, when a player makes a long shot with a buzzer, if he does not make a goal in the end, it will not be included in his personal shooting percentage. This move will have a great impact. In the past, some players would refuse this way of attack in order to maintain high efficiency.

So who will be the player with the biggest beneficiary of the new three-pointer rule in the next season? Local media made relevant predictions, Jokic beat Curry to the top, defeating Lakers' defender Josh Gidey, and was on the list like his teammate Kobe White, but only ranked tenth.

Compared with almost all players, Jokic never cared about reducing his shooting percentage because he took a long three-pointer. Last season, he made 22 super long three-pointers and scored 2 goals. Then Jokic will be more scrupulous by the next season. Because the ultra-long three-pointer strike will not be included in the personal shooting percentage, perhaps Jokic's performance in this regard will be extremely exaggerated next season.

Warriors core Stephen Curry follows closely. After all, in the field of shooting, Curry looks at the entire league history and is at the first level. In the past, Curry seemed to be able to enter the range after halftime, but no one knew where Curry's shooting limit was. After the new rule was implemented, even if Curry was in his own half, his opponent would be very afraid. His shooting talent was really scary.

Other star defenders like Trae Young, Lillard and Halliburton are on the list, and Prichard's ranking sixth may have a slight surprise to the outside world. After all, in the Celtics, he is just a substitute guard. However, if you watch Prichard's games often, you will know that in terms of long-distance three-pointers, there are only a handful of players in the entire league who are better than Prichard. With Tatum missing for a long time in the new season, Porzingis and Holiday were also sent away. Prichard's role as a Celtic has the opportunity to further improve, and even the number of shots of three-pointers in the long distance may increase significantly.

followed by Mikal Bridges, Edwards and Kobe White, and Gidey was no problem at 10th, because he was not good at projection throughout his career. Moreover, in the past 24-25 seasons, Gidey made only one move, but she magically killed the Lakers, which is bound to be very accidental.
