Simmons Will not use the three-pointer as a conventional weapon, it is difficult to shoot like Curry Soup.

Since entering the league, Ben Simmons's physical condition, athleticism, vision and off-season offense are top-notch, but only shots have been criticized. In the first two seasons of his career, Simmons made a total of 17 shots from three-pointers. In 0, when he is shooting on the outside, the opponent can make a "please" gesture at will.

But even if he is not good at shooting, Simmons is still selected for the All-Star team last season. If he gets a shooting skill package? The prospects of Simmons are undoubtedly limitless. This summer, Simmons has been polishing his jumper under the guidance of trainer Chris Johnson. From some streaming videos, he can see that his three-point jumper has improved.

In the preseason game against Guangzhou, Simmons hit the first three-pointer in his career, and in the subsequent game against the Hornets, he made a mid-range jumper. It seems that Simmons seems to have more confidence in his jump shot, and he is more willing to shoot in the middle and long distance.

Simmons' transformation is crucial for the 76ers. In today's game, the importance of the court space is self-evident. When Simmons can't open the space, Embiid can only shoot on the outside line for Simmons. Give up the position. Because Simmons lacks the ability to make a long-range shot, the opponent is more willing to let him go in the middle distance and put the defensive focus on other players. Coach Brett Brown also said in an interview that he hopes that Simmons in the new season will be able to complete some three-pointers in the open position.

The wish is beautiful, but as far as Simmons himself is concerned, he is more willing to do what he is good at. "I know what I am good at, I know what my strengths are, I really need to do something, but my style of competition will not change in a short time," Simmons said in an interview.

Simmons said that he is still training in jump shots, but he also admitted that he will never be the same shooter as Curry and Thompson. "I don't like Clay Thompson and the guys in Curry, I often pull outside the three-point line. I am still polishing my skills. I am still working hard."

The defensive intensity and importance of the preseason and regular season are not the same. In the preseason, Simmons can boldly try some jump shots, but in the official game, his mentality may change, in three Before the technology is still mature, Simmons may still retain the original style of competition. Of course, the sweat will not flow in the white, and at some necessary moments, Simmons's COSCO may also create some surprises.
