Brother Ball reveals the transformation of shooting: Drawing inspiration from Durant, and leaps with famous teachers

On August 23, the Cavaliers' new player Ball revealed a little-known story behind his shooting actions in a podcast. This topic instantly attracted the attention of fans and allowed everyone to see the player's growth in shooting technology.

Talking about his shooting action from the left side of his face, Ball Brother recalled: "Brother, I swear, since I saw Durant playing at the University of Texas, everything began to change. His playing style seemed to have a magical power that led me to make a big change in shooting action, and that was the starting point of all this." As a top scorer in the NBA, Durant's unique shooting skills and performance on the court undoubtedly had a profound impact on Ball Brother.

Boss also attributed the huge change in his jump shot to former Pelicans assistant coach Fred Vincent, with respect in his words: "I mean, because of Vincent, my shooting has been completely transformed, and I must pay tribute to him. He is definitely the most powerful shooting coach I have ever met." During the two working in New Orleans, Vincent's careful guidance to Balancer became a key factor in his improvement in his shooting skills.

Looking back at Brother Qiu's career, the changes in his shooting data intuitively reflect his progress. In the first two seasons of the Lakers, Ball's three-point shooting percentage was less than 35%, and his shooting performance was not ideal. However, after switching to the Pelicans in the 19-20 season, Ball's three-point shooting percentage increased to 37.5%. By the 21-22 season, his three-point shooting percentage reached a career-best 42.3%. Such a significant improvement is not only the result of Brother Qiu’s own efforts, but also a confirmation of his transformation after meeting a good teacher.

Brother Qiu's sharing in the podcast not only shows his pursuit of excellence in basketball skills, but also allows fans to see the importance of excellent coaches to player growth. From being inspired by Durant to achieving a leap in shooting skills under Vincent's guidance, Ball Brother's experience has inspired many basketball enthusiasts. Now that he joins the Cavaliers, fans look forward to Brother Ball continuing his good form and contributing to the team with his outstanding shooting performance. His story will also become a classic case in the basketball world to explore the technological growth of players, inspiring more people to continue to explore and move forward on the basketball road.
