During his summer workouts, Lopez utilized the Noah Shooting System, which is a series of cameras that provide real-time metrics of jump shots. The Noah Shooting System draws its name from the biblical reference of Noah\u2019s Ark, because it captures the arc and trajectory of shots. Multiple cameras are positioned above the rim to track additional data for coaches to help players improve their 3-point shooting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Lopez grokked the data from the Noah cameras and tweaked the launch angle of his 3-pointers. After the Bucks caught a glimpse of Lopez\u2019s much-improved 3-point shot in the preseason, they quickly installed a Noah Shooting System at their practice facility to provide the entire team an edge with their outside shooting.<\/p>\n
Pat Riley, when he was the head coach of the 1980s Showtime LA Lakers, often used the phrase “No rings without rebounds.” It was Riley’s way of reminding his players that they couldn’t win a championship without outrebounding their opponents.<\/p>\n
The Bucks are the best rebounding team in the NBA this season, averaging 51.1 rebounds per game. They’re ranked #12 on the offensive glass with 12.1 boards per game. It’s better than previous seasons, but head coach Mike Budenholzer wants the Bucks to improve on that underrated stat.<\/p>\n
Some nights, you’re just not going to make shots, or make threes and you can\u2019t just crawl into a hole and go home,”<\/strong> Budenholzer told The Athletic<\/em>. “You have to find other ways to win.”<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\nThe Bucks are ranked #18 in 3-point shooting, averaging 35.2%. They attempt the fifth-most 3-pointers in the NBA, with 39 shots from downtown every game, yet they miss over 25 treys per game. They must cover up their long-range deficiency by extending possessions with offensive rebounds on errant 3-pointers. The Bucks are gradually improving their offensive rebounding by making it a priority for players to crash the offensive glass whenever possible.<\/p>\n
Antetokounmpo (12.2 rebounds per game), Bobby Portis (10.9), and Lopez (6.7) are the Bucks\u2019 top three rebounders. Portis and Lopez lead the team in offensive rebounds with an average of 2.4 per game each as their best glass crashers.<\/p>\n
“It’s been a point of emphasis,” said Holiday. “Really just trying to get in there and get extra possessions. Portis has always been good. Lopez’s just a load down there.”<\/strong><\/p>\nThe Bucks are now the consensus betting favorite to win the 2022-23 NBA championship at +550 odds, according to the Westgate SuperBook in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
