Day 31

Today was a great shooting day.

Until Day 29, the most 3's made in a row was 8.  Yesterday (Day 30) I hit 9 in a row, and luckily captured it on video (1st video below).  And today I hit 14 in a row.  Also I had a record number of makes in 15 min period (50).  On most days, I hit over 50% from the middle when I'm practicing by myself.  It's just frustrating that it doesn't translate into the game.  

Yesterday was Wednesday (basketball day), but I didn't feel like running hard for many different reasons.  My left knee has been feeling weird, my right ankle has been hurting, I was having a tough work week (week 1 of the busy season), etc.  And I played awful.  I missed every possible layups and I shot two 3's which were all way off.  It's more frustrating because it was in the middle of my 2 best shooting practices. Anyways, because I didn't play hard, I didn't have trouble waking up at 5:40am. 

I didn't record any videos today, but I did yesterday.  Even though I was making shots, some of the slow motion videos show that I'm still struggling with my follow through.  In the 2nd video below, #1, 2 are good, but on #3, 5 my wrist is stiff. The #6 is the worst with the hand going from right to left.  #7 is good, but #8, 9 are again bad.  Today I think I was better with the follow through.

Also, yesterday, I started practicing catch-and-shoot coming from the wing to the center.  Wasn't able to make too many yesterday, but today I felt like I figured it out.  I hit 8 of those in a row today.
