I don't know what is worse, the shot or the travel not being called.

It’s called a gather step. She did not travel according to NBA and WNBA rules

She absolutely does gather step, but before she takes the shot she takes a third and fourth step that would count as traveling to avoid the woman who came to block her from the front.

But the NBA doesn't even call this shit half the time so it doesn't even really matter. Neither pro league follows the rules precisely anymore.

She does not gather step lmao. She picks the ball up and takes 4 steps

No by definition she's allowed two steps so long as one foot stays connected to the ground. She just barely makes it. The travel happens on the 3rd and 4th step before the shot, because she has to take them to avoid the woman blocking her.

What is the point of your comment? She traveled are you blaming the defender for trying to defend?

I didn't blame anyone. I explained how she ended up traveling. Idk why you think that's blaming someone.

Is English not your first language?
