In his first season in the NBA, Spaniard Rudy Fernández set a new record. The 24-year-old forward passed Kerry Kittles as the rookie with most three-pointers made in a season. In yesterday's game against the Denver Nuggets, the last of the regular season, Fernández made 6 out 9 long-distance shots, for a total of 159 made shots, one more than the mark set by Kittles in 1996. As the Portland Trail Blazers head to the NBA playoffs, the Spain international had 39.9% for threes.Curiously, another Spaniard, Juan Carlos Navarro, was at the brink of breaking the record in his rookie season by hitting 156 shots from beyond the arc.
(Na sua primeira época na NBA, o espanhol Rudy Fernández estabeleceu um novo recorde. O extremo de 24 anos ultrapassou Kerry Kittles como o novato com mais triplos convertidos numa época. No jogo de ontem frente aos Denver Nuggets, o último da época regular, Fernández encestou 6 lançamentos de longa distância em 9 tentados, perfazendo um total de 159 lançamentos convertidos, mais um do que a marca de Kittles em 1996. Com os Portland Trail Blazers a caminho dos "playoffs" da NBA, o internacional espanhol possui 39.9% da linha de três pontos.
Curiosamente, outro espanhol, Juan Carlos Navarro, esteve quase a bater o recorde na sua primeira época, ao converter 156 triplos.)
