MVP of the night
We thought he was in the infirmary, and now Jamal Murray signs one of the craziest performances at the beginning of the season: 52 points with 10 of 11 three-pointers! It’s on the Indianapolis floor where it is The Nuggets won 135-120and his 91% from 3-point range equals the NBA record for that amount of shots.
“Keep shooting”, Jamal Murray replied when a reporter asked him what was going through his mind when he saw the shots, one by one. “You’ve been doing this for so long, there’s no need to complicate it. I’m playing, having fun, playing, having fun.”
Basketball is simple! The crazy thing is that he wasn’t even supposed to play. David Adelman didn’t count on him, but Jamal Murray had good feelings during the shootout. “Honestly, it went pretty well,” he confirms. “Today we did a lot of treatment before the match and I felt good. Maybe I was a little sore at the end of the first quarter, but I couldn’t handle anything.”
“Just give him the ball!” Get out of the way, go into the corners”
The most interesting thing is that it was through the defense that Jamal Murray found the right rhythm and that the Nuggets, as a whole, signed one of their best halves of the season.
“For me, defense drives offense. I know when we play in the half court, we execute well, we share the ball. We’re unselfish, we cut, we move, we shoot. I think the difference for us is that when we defend, we can add that extra and, at the same time, stop the other team from scoring.”
It seems basic, but “stoppers” encourage fast play, first shots with intent, while keeping opponents on their heels. And when a player has a hot hand like Jamal Murray did last night, all you have to do is give him the ball.
Bruce Brown sums it up best: “Just give him the ball!” Get out of the way, go to the corners. If he needs me, I’ll be open, but I’ll put him right back and let him do his thing. »
