Basketball Questions
Dear all,
I watched an NBA postgame interview with Draymond Green on Youtube. There are some talks that I am not sure what they mean:
1. Draymond: .....I think it's very important for him (Curry) to get to the basket.
Question: Does "get to the basket" mean scoring from under the rim instead of shooting from the arc?
2. Draymond: You know once he started getting to the basket and all of a sudden the threes opened up and they started to fall.
Question: Is it "three" or "threes"?
Question: Does "opened up" mean giving Curry some chance to score?
Question: I really don't know what "start to fall" means.
3. Draymond: And you know they have been kind of pressuring him, trying to force him to drive the entire series.
Question: Does this sentence mean that Warriors' rivals always try to keep Curry running and having no time to rest?
Please help with with these questions. Thanks a lot.
