The actual speed is not the point. When you push a given volume of air through a system, it moves faster moving through a smaller opening than it does through a larger opening.

You could think of it in terms of marbles if it helps. Let's say you move a number of marbles from a wide mouth jar to another jar in a certain time period. Now if you had to move the same number of marbles in the same amount of time from one wine bottle to another, the marbles would have to move faster to accomplish the task since fewer marbles could move through the narrow necks of the bottles at any given moment.

Focusing your air at the tip of the mouthpiece is the point.
