What Carrie is working on you now is a fake to move the defender backward and then step back and get off a three point shot in critical situations.
You notice she begins a triple threat, makes a good strong jab fake and then steps back and shoots the three point shot. And Carrie jab sport with her foot. You notice that she does not go more than six inches on her jab.
We do not want to over extend on her jab because if you over extend you are going to give time for the defender to recover and you are going to take yourself off balance for your shot.
When performing a jab fake, you always want to jab low. Not long.

As with any fundamental, you want to practice the jab, step back and shoot slowly at first and then you can develop rhythm and speed.

Make it quick, short, faking movement, step back and shoot the three.

Do not toe the three-point line. An important principle to follow when practicing is to give your self a little bit of extra distance when shooting the three point shot. Never toe the three-point line. This will help you to keep from looking down and breaking your concentration on the shot. The degree of difficulty is no higher; it is more a mental habit than anything else.
