J. Brown admits that you can't just shoot a three-pointer to interrupt the momentum, "You're going to make a foul, you're going to cut to the box, you're going to get to the rim, maybe you can score a simple two-pointer, you hit some free throws, and then the next three-pointer might feel better." Mazzulla, head coach of the Green Shirts, said, "What I value is the process and the quality of the shots, and the quality of our shots is high. It is true that 8 to 10 shots can be better. ”
