周六，圣安东尼奥马刺队与密尔沃基雄鹿队进行了一场下午场比赛。这场比赛对双方都意义重大。对于“银黑军团”来说，这场胜利锁定了西部第二种子的席位。而对雄鹿队来说，遗憾的是，这场失利彻底终结了他们的季后赛希望。
随着马刺队开始制定季后赛策略，他们手中肯定留有一些杀手锏。其中之一可能就是激活卢克·科内特 (Luke Kornet) 在三分线外的火力。
来看看第三节末的这一球。

曾几何时，科内特以其出色的三分球能力闻名。这位大个子曾在他的博客中记录了自己的职业生涯心路历程，透露了他在NBA生涯中的不安全感，以及如何通过放弃三分投射，将自己重新塑造成一名蓝领角色球员。
通常情况下，科内特在三分线外接到球后会持球观察，等待斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle)、福克斯 (Fox) 或哈珀 (Harper) 过来接手递手传球。科内特很少会像凯尔登 (Keldon) 那样进行过多的盘带或强行冲击篮筐。
随着马刺队的季后赛前景尘埃落定，我曾设想过一些可以在季后赛中使用的调整，以达到出奇制胜的效果。想想波波 (Pop) 在2014年NBA总决赛中的变阵：将鲍里斯·迪奥 (Boris Diaw) 拿上首发，让蒂亚戈·斯普利特 (Tiago Splitter) 替补出场。这一举动为马刺队注入了动力，并打乱了热火队的节奏。
考虑到这一点，让科内特尝试三分球的策略会迫使防守者扩大防守范围。如果他能在关键时刻投中几个三分，比赛的势头就会发生转变，或者为空切球员创造出在禁区内接球完成空接或近距离投篮的空间。
遗憾的是，科内特在波士顿的最后一个赛季仅在三分线外出手过三次，其中一次是在凯尔特人队的夺冠赛季。
但在他在密尔沃基完成这次尝试后，肖恩·埃利奥特 (Sean Elliott) 表示，他曾看到科内特在赛前热身中练习三分球。这在他的常规训练中是新鲜事，值得在接下来的几天甚至（希望是）几周内持续关注。
在我研究科内特的三分投射历史时，我注意到周六的那次尝试并没有被计入正式统计。我向《圣安东尼奥新闻快报》的汤姆·奥斯本 (Tom Orsborn) 进行了确认，那一球是在第三节鸣哨之后才投出的，因此不算有效出手。
请大家保持关注，看看科内特是否有机会重现他昔日的三分风采。

Open Thread: Luke Kornet took his first three-point attempt as a Spur
On Saturday, the Spurs had an afternoon matinee against the Milwaukee Bucks. The game was significant for both teams. For the Silver & Black in locked in the second seed. Unfortunately for the Bucks, it sealed their fate by fully eliminating any postseason options.
As the Spurs plan their postseason strategies, they are sure to have some tricks up their sleeve. One of those could involve activating Luke Kornet from beyond the arc.
Check out this shot at the end of third quarter.

Once upon a time, Kornet was known for his three-point prowess. Part of the big man’s journey, which he documented in his blog, divulged his insecurity with his NBA career and reinventing himself as a role player while giving up the three-point shot.
Often times, Kornet receives the ball on the outside the three-point line and holds, waiting for Castle or Fox or Harper to take the hand off. Rarely does Kornet dribble excessively or push his way to the basket the way, say, Keldon does.
As the Spurs postseason became a reality, I hypothesized on adjustments that could be utilized in the postseason catching their opponents off guard. Think Pop changing the starting line up in the 2014 NBA Finals by adding Boris Diaw and having Tiago Splitter come off the bench. It gave the Spurs a boost and disrupted the Heat’s rhythm.
With that in mind, the idea of having Kornet take threes forces defenders to cover him further out. And if he can hit a couple of threes at key moments, then there is a shift in momentum or the possibility for a cutting player to receive a lob in the paint for a close range shot.
Alas, Kornet had only three attempts from beyond the arc in his last season in Boston, one in the Celtics championship season.
But after his attempt in Milwaukee, Sean Elliott stated that he had seen Kornet shooting threes in the pregame warm up. That was new to his routine and something to be observed in the days and (hopefully) weeks to come.
As I was researching Kornet’s three-point shooting history, I noticed he hadn’t been credited with the attempt on Saturday. I confirmed with Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News that the shot came after the third quarter buzzer engaged and therefore did not count.
Keep your eyes peeled for opportunities for Kornet to roll back the clock on his three-point game.
