It didn\u2019t take long for the naysayers to troll Angel Reese<\/a> on social media for the same reason she has been mocked since her college days. During the Chicago Sky<\/a>\u2019s second preseason game, Reese went viral on social media for missing a wide-open layup.<\/p>\n Reese failed to convert a layup while being contested by a smaller Courtney Williams midway into the first quarter. Moments later, the forward missed again during a two-on-one fast break situation.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/template><\/p>\n Although she was fouled and sent to the free-throw line, the missed opportunities gave reason for detractors to harshly criticize her.<\/p>\n \u201cbruhh she so trash man I ain\u2019t lying daw,\u201d @AllenCease wrote.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n \u201cThis can\u2019t be a franchise player man,\u201d @chauvism2 said<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n \u201cA layup… the first time was not even hardly contested crazy,\u201d @lilibreath reacted<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n \u201cShould have been in the gym instead of podcasting and going to the Met Gala,\u201d another user wrote.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n \u201cAngel reese still cant get a layuo and farming her own rebounds ???

Following Friday\u2019s preseason game against the Brazil national team, Reese celebrated her 23rd birthday on Saturday and eventually flew to the Met Gala in New York on Monday.<\/p>\n She made it back to Chicago in the early hours of Tuesday and was present at the team\u2019s pregame shootaround after catching merely four hours of sleep.<\/p>\n “I don’t know how I’m doing this. I’m running on vibes. I feel I can coast with four hours of sleep… Looking forward to my off day,\u201d <\/em>Reese said, via<\/a> Julia Poe.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Reese finally found some free time after Tuesday\u2019s game, expressing her satisfaction on social media.<\/p>\n \u201cnow i can tweet\u2026.
