Don't be surprised if Nets forward Yuta Watanabe is in this year's 3-Point
Contest.
假如篮网前锋-渡边雄太，入选今年的三分球大赛，这不会令人感到意外。
Watanabe didn't come into the 2022-23 season with much of a reputation as a
shooter, but he's quickly proven himself to be a marksman from beyond the
arc. Through 21 games with the Nets, he's 34-for-63 from the 3-point line,
giving him the best 3-point percentage (54.0) in the NBA.
开季时，渡边雄太并没有被当作一个射手来讨论，但是渡边迅速的证明了自己作为三分线
神射手的本领。在篮网，他的21场出赛中，他达到了全NBA最佳的3分命中率(54%)，在三
分线有着63投34中的成绩。
Watanabe has been particularly proficient from the corners. He's among the
league leaders in makes from both the right and left corners while connecting
on those attempts at a combined 68.6 percent clip.
渡边雄太底角投射更为精湛，68.6%的两侧命中率，让他成为联盟中底角射手的佼佼者。

The secret to Watanabe's newfound success as a 3-point shooter? As The
Sporting News' Steph Noh detailed earlier in the season, he has sped up his
release considerably since his rookie season by using a 1-2 step instead of
hopping when he gathers the ball and not dropping the ball down to his thighs
on the catch. The results speak for themselves.
Sporting News的Steph Noh详细分享了让渡边雄太成功变成3分射手的秘诀，渡边对比了
他的新秀赛季，大幅加快了他的出手，透过了使用1-2 step，而非hopping。这让渡边可
以高举高投，而且结果也显示非常成功。

We're still more than a month away from All-Star Weekend, but Watanabe's
development into a knockdown shooter gives him a strong case to be one of the
eight participants in the 3-Point Contest. And if he does get the call from
the league office, it sounds like he'll be thrilled.
距离全明星周还有超过一个月，但渡边雄太的成长让他有机会能角逐3分球大赛的位置，
并且，他似乎也感到很兴奋，假如能获得联盟的邀请。
"It would be an honor," Watanabe told HoopsHype when asked about the
possibility of being selected.
谈到了有机会入选，渡边雄太告诉了HoopsHype：“这会是我的荣幸。”

City. The 3-Point Content will take place alongside the Skills Challenge and
Slam Dunk Contest on All-Star Saturday Night, with the 2023 NBA All-Star Game
