You're right it's all my fault. I just came to the realization that the defense in 2k17 is more psychological than logical.
I should of been trying to get into the shooters head more. Instead of contesting towards the shot I should of been jumping in the other direction instead and maybe thrown in a couple of those flopping animations for good measure too. I knew they had to be in the game for a reason. That would of really thrown him off his game, he wouldn't of known what was going on and been totally confused and would of had a harder time getting his perfect green releases. I'll remember that for the next time.
