When talking about the above-mentioned loopholes in his game, Delavidova insisted that in addition to “adjustment”, more playing time in the NBL “may” also increase his shooting percentage.
“I made some adjustments to my shooting a few years ago, but I haven’t gotten a good return. [But] The Australian pointed out that from the perspective of its progress and feelings, I think it will pay off in the long run. “Some things I’m still working on, but I think it uses more effort, slower shots and harder dribble shots compared to the way I shot it before. [it’s an improvement]. “
“In the past two years, I haven’t stringed a lot of healthy games together, so this slows down the process. I think this is why playing a lot of games in a row gives me more playing time and more than I get in the NBA. The shooting chance game will also help my development,” he added.
