On January 23, in Washington, the season of Jayson Tatum has changed, taking on a much more positive face. Before that, the Boston winger was certainly a scorer, with his 25 points per game, but above all clumsy with only 41% success in shooting and 31% at 3-points.
That evening, against the Wizards, Jayson Tatum sticks 51 points at 18/28 to shoot and 9/14 behind the arc. But how to explain such a heat stroke, when he remained on an awful 0/17 at 3-pts for three matches?
“We were on the road and I told Nick Sang (his personal trainer) that we had to find a room before the match”remembers the All-Star for The Athletic. “With Nick, we were going to take shots. Even though it wasn’t an intense workout, there was something about being in an empty room, shooting. »
Jayson Tatum’s stats from that night in Washington through the end of the regular season? 29 points average at 50% shooting success and 40% at 3-point range.
The difference is obvious and the small sessions before the meetings have clearly had their effect.
“It became my routine in every city we went to. As soon as we were outside, we found a place and no matter what time it was, we went there and we shot. It’s just hard work, it always pays off. »
Therefore, he already has the key for next season, in order to avoid a failed start. “Yes, I don’t have to wait until January to be the best player I can be. I have to start better and dominate night after night. »
