Gazzetta with the help of Hudlinstat analyzes Kendrick Nunn’s orgies against Armani.
THE Panathinaikos had an easy night against Armani and that was taken care of by the charismatic player who goes by the name of Kendrick Nan.
The ex-NBAer took it personally and trashed the Messina team’s defense, showing his quality at OAKA in a terrific performance that had Europe talking. The Journal with the help of Hudlinstat stands in the unreal night of the… alien of Panathinaikos and analyzes what we saw from the American scorer.
The amazing stuff in the first quarter
Nan prepared us from the beginning that this would be the night. Show the world what’s to come. He painted at OAKA. The American scorer started more than… hot in the first quarter, hitting 7/8 three-pointers and sending the friends of the “green” into a frenzy with the awesome crescendo he performed. It allowed the shamrock to take a 38-15 lead.
As we can see in the chart above, Nan made 7/7 3-pointers from 45 degrees and missed just one from the top. He was unstoppable. 4 of them were catch n’ shoot executions. Three of the seven shots were marked, while four of them were unmarked. Nan saw it as a barrel and Panathinaikos took advantage of it. A performance that will hardly be forgotten in the Euroleague. It seems that he had become angry since his absence with Ephesus.
The 15 points from catch n’ shoot and the unmissable iso

Nan found 15 points from catch n’ situations. He had a total of 5 accurate 3-pointers in such situations in a total of 8 such shots he attempted. He was on fire and no one could stop him.
Also, Nan has shown us throughout the season that he is one of the best players in Europe in isolation, that is when he chooses to play iso and go one on one. Either by finishing the phase with a three-pointer, or with a mid-range shot, or by getting close to the basket to make it easier.
Against Armani he was 2/2, he was unstoppable after iso driving the phase close to Armani’s basket to hurt her. In the first phase he troubled Manion with a terrific up and under, while in the second he initially defeated Kozer with dribbles and then exposed two other opponents to close the phase.
The 20s and the first time he… touched 40
Kendrick Nunn is among the top 2-3 scorers in the Euroleague and perhaps the most quality player in the competition. And he doesn’t stop showing it at every opportunity. He has… 1000 ways to put the ball in the basket and Armani experienced it in the worst way in a match she wants to forget.
So far, Nan has played in 15 matches in this year’s Euroleague. In 7 of them he has 20+ points. In one, yesterday’s counter reached 40 points and stopped at 39! On another occasion he has reached 30 against Barcelona.
His scoring consistency is tremendous and you can’t stop him. The worst match is against Partizan who had 12 points, while he had 13 against Red Star. In 13 of the 15 matches he has been at +14. Stability monster, a… computer on the floor for Ataman’s team.
