Tielin: Xiaoka didn t know how to shoot at the beginning, from a defensive player to a three-point shooter, he practiced very hard

September 14th News Recently, Danny Green talked about the initial technical characteristics of Xiaoka when he participated in Arenas' podcast program.

"Small Ka didn't shoot at first, at least not good enough. Of course, he had a little middle distance at the beginning, but he also needed to adjust the shape of his shooting hands. You still had to have three-pointers! He had excellent physical conditions, strong shoulders, arms and big hands, which made the team think he could be a key figure on the defensive end. For this reason, they exchanged George Hill for him. He practiced shooting every day, starting from the middle distance and gradually expanded beyond the three-point line. Finally, he became a three-point shooter with a 40% shooting percentage. When he was able to make a steady three-pointer, Tony Parker no longer took on the offensive responsibility alone in the fourth quarter of the game, but passed the ball more to him. This transition happened very quickly. When I saw his growth, I couldn't believe that he had mastered these skills after entering the NBA. It was a miracle." Tielin said.

The three-point shooting percentage of Xiaoka during the regular season last season was 41.1%.
