What did a 42 percent three-point percentage mean?
The greatest three-point shooters in history had career three-point percentages of around 42 percent.
Steve Kerr, for example. Stephen Curry, too.
And this season, even with the rules allowing defenders to keep a hand on the shooter, Wang Yi could still shoot at the level of the greatest three-point shooters in history. That showed just how well he handled defensive pressure.
Some people might ask: If he handled defensive pressure so well, why had his percentage still dropped a little?
Shouldn't it stay the same if he was so good at handling pressure?
What a stupid question.
Some defenders might look like they were simply resting a hand on you, but they weren't just leaving it there. They'd secretly apply pressure.
As long as they didn't make their movements too obvious, the referee wouldn't call a foul. That way, they could disrupt your shot without fouling.
So naturally, Wang Yi's three-point percentage would drop a little.
Noah heard the swish of a three going in behind him and knew the shot had to be good.
He glanced at Wang Yi and snorted.
"Heh, nice shot. I just hope you can keep that up all game. Otherwise, I'll show you what I can do."
Wang Yi still didn't pay him the slightest attention.
They weren't even on the same level. If Wang Yi so much as looked at him again, it would count as Wang Yi losing.
So of course, Wang Yi ignored him.
Wang Yi treated Noah like he wasn't even there, which naturally annoyed him. He kept running his mouth behind Wang Yi.
"What? Cat got your tongue? You don't even have the guts to give a rookie like me half a reply?"
Wang Yi still ignored him completely.
That only
