exceptional shooter, Terrence Ross again has the opportunity to shine at the top level of the league since signing for the Phoenix Suns. His teammates continue to tame him on a daily basis, and what has mainly come out so far is the reliability of his shooting mechanics, an example for all.
“Even shots where you’d think someone could challenge them, he fires so high and with such spin on every shot he takes, it’s almost impossible to challenge”even noticed Devin Booker, who does not have the most “disgusting” shot in the league!
Terrence “Rocket” Ross
Terrence Ross indeed embodies the definition of the “jump shot”, a jump shot that he triggers at the highest possible level of his impulse. With this, the serial shooter also works on the trajectory of his shot, trying to make it as high as possible. A mechanism “to show in all schools”!
“I’ve been doing this forever, and it’s always something I try to work on, to get the ball up. I forget who taught it to me, but I learned that very early on, not to take too flat shots. Pull up, so that when you get tired the ball can still go over the edge of the circle. It’s something I’ve always worked on.”confided the person concerned.
As he pointed out, there’s really no secret, other than hard work this whole time. “When I jump, the ball goes high. And when I shoot, the ball also goes quite high. These two things added together make it look like a missile”“The Human Torch” continued.
Shots from the corner that flirt with the ceiling
With the Noah Basketball Shooting Systema measuring tool used in the NBA, which notably accurately identifies the trajectory of the ball, shooters can now know precisely if the trajectory of their shots is closer to 55 degrees than 35. For his part, Terrence Ross, unsurprisingly, part of those with the “highest” shooting trajectories.
“You can pinpoint where your shot is. Sometimes when I shoot for corners, I want to send the ball as high as possible and finish in the 40 or 50 degrees. Other times when I shoot from further away I try to shoot with more of an arcing curve. It’s something I had a little fun with.”he added.
A bit in trouble in his first four games with Phoenix, T-Ross settled the sights Wednesday against OKC, then Saturday against the Kings. Result, 42 points in two matches with a nice 10 out of 20 behind the arc, a reminder of how much he could bring to his new team and therefore, as indicated, with shots from corners that flirted with the ceiling of the Footprint Center .
“He’s one more player capable of creating his own shot, but he can also take space and penalize at 3-pointers. He is slender, he can finish near the circle while resisting blows. He can finish over guys when he has to”underlined his coach, Monty Williams who also continues to appreciate the panoply of his new sixth man, who will enjoy a more important role as long as Kevin Durant is absent.
