Those who can play can see at a glance why Paul can shoot 6 three-pointers in this game, a new high for the Warriors.
Just because he changed a detail and believed what Curry told him.
Paul's previous three-point shooting rate was miserable, with a shooting rate of about 30%, and 6 of 9 in this game, with a shooting rate of 67%!
This change is due to a small change: the shooting hand movement changes, the wrist pressure is reduced, and the arc of the shot is higher.
Significant wrist presses
Previously, Paul shot and had a very obvious wrist press, so the ball was not arc enough.
Because Paul was already short, he didn't jump high, and he had a very serious wrist press, so he let the ball fly flatter and lower.
As we can see before, Paul's missed shots were all on the front line, not off target.
This is the indication that the height and curvature of the ball are not enough.
Curry didn't press his wrist obviously, just shook his wrist with the trend
Friends who know how to play know that the arc of the shot is very important, and the higher the arc, the greater the chance of scoring a goal.
Curry's three-pointers and Nowitzki's shots are both high-arc, which is one of the reasons why they are so accurate.
It can be seen how high the arc of Nowitzki's shot is, and he basically does not press his wrist
And Paul's shooting method is actually Jordan Bryant's standard two-stage jump shot and wrist pressing, which is very stable.
Jordan jumper, obviously pressing the wrist
But you need height, core strength, and jump height support (wrist press will affect the flight height of the ball, so you need to jump very high).
So only Jordan Kobe Bryant can play 2 people 6.
Kobe jumper
Paul's height and bounce can't support him to shoot like this, maybe when he was younger, but now he really can't, so he plays the front line frequently.
When Paul made his first three-pointer today, I noticed that he didn't press his wrist and obviously threw the ball higher, and the ball flew in a much higher arc than before, so he scored five in a row.
Curry barely presses his wrists
It's not that Paul is inaccurate, it's the physical deterioration that affects his shooting (Klay is the same, but Klay has a problem with his physical stability).
I believe Paul's adjustment is related to Curry.
There have been videos of Paul and Curry practicing Xi back dribbling to receive three-point shots, and I believe that this time I also asked Curry for advice on how to improve three-point shooting.
Curry must have said to Paul: Chris, you shoot accurately, it's just too flat, you just need to shoot the ball a little higher, don't press your wrist so hard.
Paul did it, and all of you who have a problem with Paul's shooting, you might as well try it.
I really admire Paul, who is still playing off the bench for victory at the age of 39 and learning to shoot.
And Curry should also ask Paul more for training and defense, so that the Warriors can be better.
