WIS to learn more beautiful dish inside no swarez can't come up with it it may be hard to understand how a great player like Angel Reese could lose the game for her team it's not just about what happened on the court it's also about what's been going on behind the scenes let's talk about the event that made Reese's teammates very angry you know what a double double is but what is Double Trouble on August 25th Reese went on a rebounding binge that had a bad side that made her teammates mad we're about to talk about how seeking personal Glory can cost you more than just points let's talk about that August 25th game while reys did a great job of getting 20 rebounds her team went down and lost what the heck is going on it looks like Reese's desire for boards may have brought the team down think about this Rees had his eyes fixed on the basket ready for the ball to hit it she's concentrating so hard on getting the rebound that she misses simple layups you heard that right she's is missing shots on purpose to make her stats look better she seems to be playing her own game within the game which is making her teammates [Music] lose but rebounds are good right you may be asking most of the time yes but not when they cost real points in basketball you want to put the ball through the hoop not just catch it after it bounces off but what about Reese it seems like she thinks rebounds are the new money in the game let's break it down since coming back back from the Olympics Reese's shooting percentage has dropped to an embarrassingly low 32.4% in his last five games that's not just bad it's awful but she's not working on getting better shots instead she's focusing on getting more rebounds this is where things really go crazy in the last few seconds of the game when every point is important reys was still doing her thing with the boards during some plays she could have pass the ball to an open teammate or taken a high percentage shot instead she was would force a bad shot miss it and then grab the rebound seeing someone play pingpong by themselves while the rest of the team tries to win a basketball game is like that and the other girls they are not just annoyed they are completely angry imagine working hard on defense forcing a turnover running down the court and getting open for a great shot only to have a teammate ignore you to go get another rebound it's enough to make anyone lose their cool the real kicker though came in the last few seconds everyone in the arena could feel how tense things were because the game was so close reys had a chance to show that she cares about the team and silence the people who don't like her guess what she did instead she went for another rebound the Clock Struck midnight the ball bounced off the rim and the game was over even though reys got her 20th rebound her team lost again what were those Angry Words in the locker room they were about to boil over have you ever thought about what happens when the best player on a team becomes its biggest problem really Reese's teammates are are about to snap and the aftermath of that last second loss was just the beginning imagine that when the final whistle blew there wasn't a unified team huddle instead we saw a group of players who were clearly angry there was a lot of tension heads were shaking and eyes were rolling someone heard a player say we need to play for each other not just our stats that hurts that words really hurt especially when said to the person you think is leading your team let's be honest though I wasn't just suddenly angry her teammate have been annoyed by Reese's rude behavior for a while now it is said that she is well let's just say difficult to work with it's hard to play a symphony when the lead violinist keeps wanting to play alone it's not just her personality either the team's recent play has been to use a polite term terrible fans are getting scared because their team has been losing lately the interesting thing is that Reese's personal stats have been going through the roof while the team's record has been going downhill random event nobody on her team thinks so you feel like you're watching a car accident happen slowly with each game Reese gets more rebounds but the team also loses more games the people on her team don't know if she's playing for the name on the front or the back of the Jersey the atmosphere in the locker room that's way too cold for a penguin's picnic players who used to give Reese high fives after games don't do that anymore the team dinners where everyone used to laugh and get along they're about as fun now as getting a root canal that last second loss was not the worst part though when they got back to the locker room the air was Heavy with sadness that's when one of Reese's teammates finally lost it we're a team not your personal highlight real the words hung in the air strong and clear it's a stark reminder that there is no eye in team just like there isn't one in life but there sure is one in reese now the question is how long this can last what is the last loss that will make something give not only are games being lost right now but so is the spirit of teamwork that makes basketball so beautiful it seemed like there was no hope for teamwork in women's basketball until a player came along and changed the rules of what it means to be a star Caitlyn Clark comes along she is the opposite of Angel Reese's me first attitude Clark has been making waves in the league for more than just her stats she's showing everyone that you can be a star and a team player at the same time Clark is Making Waves for the right reasons while Rees chases rebounds Clark thinks the game is about teamwork and not self- interest basketball player Caitlyn Clark also leads a choir on the court to improve her teammates she plans every pass shot and move also guess what it works Clark magically improves everyone around her something about her makes her know where her teammates are first the oldfashioned way she passes the ball gives her teammates chances to shine when she shoots it's for the team not just for points what about her phone number if she's so focused on her teammates they're hurt right slow down Clark's numbers would make any player green with Envy her numbers Help win which is cool interesting concept right let's discuss speed Reese misses easy layups to get the ball back but Clark maximizes every play her shot making percentage through the roof the helpers we mentioned earlier in addition to being pretty these passes score points and wins still it's not just amounts Clark has an exciting energy that makes you want to be around her the people on her team aren't rolling their eyes or ignoring her they're rallying behind her riding her wave and playing their hearts out it's like seeing a well-oiled machine where each part knows what to do and does it perfectly remember how Reese's team has been losing lately this is where things get really interesting Clark's team on the other hand is going the other way they have a star player who knows that basketball is a team sport which is helping them win games move up in the rankings and make other teams sweat you may wonder how can one player make such a difference it's about distribution it changes everything when your star player only wants to improve the team everyone starts playing harder passing more and Diving for loose balls the focus is now on team Victory not individual Glory therefore let's explain Clark recently had a triple double pretty cool huh that her team won by a lot is cool she contributed to a great team performance with her stats that's the difference between pretty stats and game impact how about the most telling fact her teammates Jo toy Reese's locker room is cold but Clark's team seems to be having fun outside isn't that basketball's purpose click that subscribe button to stay in the game and get more Hoops
