Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball has shared his interesting thought about shooting long three-point bombs.
In the dying seconds of the third quarter during the Bulls‘ Monday night match against the Los Angeles Lakers, Lonzo Ball took an inbounds pass and did not hesitate to take 76-foot haymaker.
There was a very slim chance of getting that shot to go in but Ball still took it, and his reason for it was just short and simple–“it's a chance to make the shot.”
“It’s a chance to make the shot,” Ball said of his 76-footer after the game via NBC Sports. “I really don’t play the percentages. I don’t mind taking the fullcourt heave. If it’s another missed 3-point shot, I really don’t care. If it goes in, great. If not, I’ll shoot it again.”
The Bulls are now 10-4 and are beginning to like a bit more settled in with their revamped squad. According to Ball, all of them can switch positions the entire game and it was never a problem as long as the team sticks to its “common goal,” and that is to win the game.
“I think it’s the character that everybody brings to this team,” Ball said when asked why the Bulls have been playing such cohesive, winning basketball despite having new faces on the squad. “The whole team plays for one another. Even out there playing small ball, we got guys 6-7, 6-8 playing center. I’m playing a little power forward. AC (Alex Caruso) is playing power forward. It’s just the will and the fight that we have as a collective unit.”
“We all have the common goal to win the game,” he added. “When you put your ego aside and high character guys step up, that’s what happens.”
