people are talking about women's basketball you never would think that we be talking about women's basketball people are pulling up to games we got celebrities coming to games sold out Arenas like just because of one single game on the court I'm very competitive I'm super competitive when it comes between the lines I work really hard but off the court we can have a good time have fun from college Superstar to WNBA struggler Angel Reese's Fall From Grace has been Swift and brutal but can she bounce back we're counting down the top five reasons why Reese's shooting woses might not be the end of her story although Reese's shooting issues are widely documented there is more to the story could it be that her biggest strength is exactly what makes her most vulnerable the answer to a contradiction that has professionals and enthusiasts scratching their minds is here let's examine the figures I can assure you that they are more startling than you may have imagined Angel Reese's layup conversion rate is just 43.8% that is appalling in general and appalling historically for a player of her caliber well-known athletes like Britney Griner and Ajo Wilson are making more than 3/4s of their layup attempts they appeared to be participating in a separate sport because of how much of a difference there is between them but this is when things start to get interesting Reese has attempted more failed goals than any other player in the league despite her issues she is missing more than half of her shots but she is still taking more than everybody else everyone is discussing this confusing situation uh well maybe she's just going through a rough patch you could be thinking hold on to your seats because the figures only get Stranger in her last seven games Reese has missed an astounding 64 shots instead of a decline what we have now is a whole and utter shooting disaster oh please wait a moment this is only the start fandu one of the biggest brands in the sports betting space didn't take long to destroy Reese Angel Reese is by far the worst finisher in the WNBA oh no it is possible for such criticism to seriously undermine a player's confidence this is when Things become really interesting fol persisted even after they had criticized her shooting taking it a step further they highlighted a skill that has been overlooked Reese's ability to establish herself again following missed layups by doing this they are essentially saying hey if you're going to miss at least clean up your own mess this raises a very distinct set of questions does Reese's problem stem more from his motivation than his ability is her goal of recovering the ball so strong that she doesn't give a damn about making the shot both fans and experts are baffled by the chicken or egg dilemma the problem is that Angel's story does not end with these people we haven't talked about the opposite side of this at all when she keeps missing shots everything is on the line her WNBA career her team's performance and her shooting form think about it it's not just two points lost if she misses a layup it's a confidence blow a boost to the opposition's morale and more fodder for her critics should she fail to find a way to turn things around it can have a cascading effect and Destroy her career even while the court is Angel's Battlefield the real struggle is taking place elsewhere when Reese was the hottest thing in women's Hoops do you recall those days are gone now people's perceptions are changing so quickly that everyone is suffering from Whiplash the fact that it's no longer only about poor photos is the worst part though Angel ree is failing both on and off the court it is currently taking place on social media in sports talk shows and on fan forums the formerly ad board athlete is today coping with a crisis on the court as well as an equally intense barrage of criticism remember when everyone thought Reese was the best rookie words like missed layup don't adequately convey how quickly those projections are changing the betting odds presently have Caitlyn Clark as the obvious favorite this surprising turn of events has taken many onlookers and supporters by surprise but commentators aren't the only ones who are changing their Viewpoint furthermore fans are paying attention what are their reactions they are ugly to put it bluntly people are talking about women's basketball you never would think that we be talking about women's basketball people are pulling up to games we got celebrities coming to games sold out Arenas like just because of one single game you got to maximize your life you don't get these opportunities a lot of people don't get these opportunities and I just try to do as much as I can with the time I do get memes and viral videos making Reese's performance have gained popularity and especially brutal video of her failed layups has gone viral adding insult to injury The media's Narrative now centers on disbelief rather than gratitude Reese's performance has startled the same commentators who were so Ardent in their Praise of her one analyst said that it's starting to get embarrassing for you please move aside a player who was once seen as the bright future of women's basketball has been given a sobering dose of reality and not even fand Dell the industry leader in sports betting was given a pass they complimented Reese's play highlighting her ability to make up missed layups not only does it add to the already toxic atmosphere spere surrounding her but it's also a subdued compliment but the real battle is inside Angel's thoughts it doesn't take place on the court it's something that nobody is paying attention to the psychological toll that this media frenzy has caused cannot be understated Reese's mental Clarity and self-worth are deteriorating with every missed opportunity and understanding like yeah negative things have probably been said about me but honestly I'll take that because look where Women's Basketball is being able to be flexible my coach trusted in me I have a crazy life but I enjoy it and I just maximize it as much as I can hurtful remark and me think about it how would you perform if there were a million eyes on you ready to seize any opportunity to catch you off guard there's a lot of pressure here and no one seems to understand it for a young athlete like Reese this is less of a physical struggle and more of a mental one this outrage is having an impact on Reese's game on the court as well as her reputation it is an unending Cy cyle people will criticize her more the more she fights she feels more overwhelmed the more people find fault with her under pressure even the easiest shots can become challenging you're used to the people who doubt and the squandered opportunities however the intense conflict isn't being captured by the cameras what is the real nature of Angel Reese's enemy The Invisible one just for a moment imagine yourself in Angel's shoes imagine the pressure of being observed by millions of people at all times there's pressure everywhere you turn it extends beyond the court people are screaming about you everywhere you go including online fan communities and sports broadcasts that's the reality that angel Rees has to face right now the psychological cost of watching so closely remarkably big more than just a missed scoring opportunity every layup she misses gives the doubters more fuel to Fire and progressively erodes her self-confidence think about it if you knew that every mistake you made would be dissected mocked and eventually turned into an online team how would you respond but take note Angel's performance isn't the only thing being impacted by this stress it's impacting the whole plot of her WNBA story remember when she was the next big thing it seems that she has now been formally recognized as the worst shooter in the league that's a lot of burden to carry for a young athlete who's just breaking into the professional ranks on the court I'm very competitive I'm super competitive when it comes between the lines I work really hard when off the court we can have a good time have fun media narratives have a significant impact they possess the ability to instantly uplift or depress you the plot of Angel has undergone a significant alteration he was once a Bright Young Star but an unexpected series of events has left him a defenseless rookie but is it just is it premature to have high expectations put off your pretense for a moment making the transition from college to the pros is a huge step to play at a higher level one must adjust to various Team Dynamics and yes increase levels of pressure in addition to innate Talent Angel is experiencing difficulties but she is also learning every shot you miss and every criticism you get can teach you something new she needs to develop the most crucial aspect is that angel Reese will not give up she still goes out there and fights for rebounds and shoots in spite of the obstacles and criticism that's what it means to be a true competitor unrelenting commitment you may be wondering can she turn this around it's the question after all that everybody is asking however consider this comfortable circumstances have served as the impetus for some of the most amazing comebacks in sports history periods of hardship unpredictability and extreme stress it is more crucial to get back up after falling than it is to never fall at all the story of Angel is not just about bad shots it's also about the tenacity of a genuine competitor it's about getting past challenges that come up on or off the court it has to do with remaining composed in the face of opposition folks that is the real battle being fought by Angel Reed so what happens after Angel she made the choice will she succumb to the pressure or will it Inspire her to make a Victorious comeback everyone is definitely watching her to see what will come next because basketball is no longer the main focus The Narrative tracks a young athlete as they overcome setbacks to reach top status
