Trey Murphy: When I came back from that, I was probably bad for about two months. I didn’t shoot the ball well at all. And that was really difficult to go through because I thought I was doing everything right. I talked with JJ Redick because he is and still is to an extent a friend of mine, but we’re not really friends no more [smile]. But he was just telling me that you can’t get it all back one time, and there will be games where you will go 3 for 8, 5 for 12, whatever. And it’s just like, alright, I’m not gonna get back to 40 percent in one game, but if I take those small wins, and keep building on that. That’s the biggest thing I saw. And another thing I can refer to is Paul Pierce, he was on a podcast and was talking about how he was 1 for 13 in the first half, and one of his coaches was asking him about how he was feeling, and he said I’m feeling real good, they felt like they were makes, so I’m going to end up making them anyway. I just remember a game we were playing against Washington at home and I think I was 3 for 10, but three of the misses felt really good, so in my head I was 6 for 10. And then after that, I was just like if I feel good after the misses, then I know I’ll be alright. Then I started hitting shots after that. -via HoopsHype / October 19, 2024
