Nets observation: Deming 16+5+4, the best game of his career so far

From Summer League to now, the part of Deming that exceeds expectations is definitely his three-point shooting. During his time at Brigham Young University, Deming's three-point shooting percentage was only a pitiful 27.3%, and his free throw percentage was even less than 70%.

The scouting report commented: "His outside shooting ability is at the lower level among guards, and his overall scoring ability is not as good as other top rookies. He lacks confidence in long-distance shooting and his movements are not smooth enough."

But starting from the summer league, Deming's three-pointer performance showed a very different performance from his college days:

-Summer Union made a total of 10 of 23 shots and hit the target. 43.5%

- Preseason (only played one game) 2-for-3 from the field

- So far in the regular season, 18-for-48, 37.5% from the field; three-pointers are three times as many as two-pointers

In today's game between the Nets and the Raptors, Deming played perhaps his best game since entering the NBA: 16 points (a career high), 5 rebounds and 4 assists.

Four of the five sports goals made in the field were three-pointers, and many of the three-pointers made were difficult shots such as catching and shooting through off-ball screens, swaying and jumping to defend people, and catching and shooting after moving.

Mann and Zhao Si launched a side pick-and-roll. After Mann used the screen wall to delay Quickley, he stuck Quickley behind him during the pick-and-roll and performed subsequent operations, attracting the 45° weak side Barnes to help defend. After receiving the ball from Mann, Deming took a decisive shot and responded with a pass.

Croney's strong side breakthrough attracted Poeltl to help defend. Shade was taken away by Mann who cut along the baseline, and Deming got an open opportunity. Shade caught the ball and flew back, then stepped back and hit a three-pointer.

This ball is even more difficult: move from the weak side corner to the strong side, and then like a "running shooter" use Zhao Si's "Pin Down" to catch the ball and shoot directly for a three-pointer.

Zhao Si picked up the ball at the top of the arc, and Powell started without the ball to launch the "ZOOM Action". At the same time, Mann and Deming crossed and ran to the weak side to optimize their court position. Powell attracted Shaide to help defend and then returned to Deming who ran along the three-point line toward the bottom corner.

Deming's only two-point goal in this game came from this round: with the help of Zhao Si's screen to delay Barnes, he quickly started to break through from the right and went straight to the basket, and then finished with a pick-up basket.

In addition to 16 points, Deming also scored 5 assists in this game. For example, in this round: a pick-and-roll with Zhao Si attracted the weak side 45 Quickley to swipe the card and then returned it to Croney who was supporting the weak side.

was matched up by Porter and used Porter's "Ghost Screen" to initiate a breakthrough from the right. Quickley blocked the breakthrough route with a card and immediately passed it to Mann in the bottom corner.

went on the line to operate a double drag (Double Drag), causing a communication error between Shedd and CMB when changing defense, and immediately returned it to Porter who was on the outside.
