So are you saying when she goes 0-fer she is throwing all those balls up there expecting them not to drop!!!!So interesting how it all seems to be about confidence with her (and many others). When Bria expects 'em to drop, they most often do.
Well, actually, the answer is yes. There's a big difference between what I would call "hope" shots and those that genuinely surprise the shooter when they don't drop. Bria, early on, played with such total confidence that she expected unqualified success no matter what she tried. After her injury-related sophomore slump, we could just see the confidence level evaporate. KML (and a lot of pure shooters) is the same way. I expect both of them to be deadly from all over the court from here on out... they are totally different shooters when the confidence level is there. I know you agree...it's just a funny thing about shooters...the mechanics might be the same, but the success rate when they believe in themselves (as in, "No way I can miss this") is so different!So are you saying when she goes 0-fer she is throwing all those balls up there expecting them not to drop!!!!
Just having fun - agree about the confidence thing - true of most shooters. Often why they say if you miss a few at the start of the game make sure you go inside and get an easy one, just so you get the vision of the ball going through the net back in your mind.
