Chapter 822 (1/2)

Paul Pierce, who shot 37.3% of his three-point shot last season, is a reliable long-range pitcher. But Pierce's asking price is too high to fit the grizzly's salary spatial structure. In addition, pierce estimated that it was difficult for him to adapt to the three-point battery.

Karon Butler, who won the championship with the Mavericks a few years ago and played link more than once, still had a 39% three-point percentage last season, with 10 points per game. Also, there is a positive defense, which seems to fit the Grizzlies. But he was first picked up by the piston after two years of 9 million.

3D forward P.J. Tucker, who shot 38.7% of the three-point goal last season, is also a good choice. But the Suns' 3-year offer of 16.5 million is not expected to be given by any other team in the league, including the Grizzlies.

Lewis? Too old, too slow. Severosa? It's too expensive. Ariza? More expensive!

After thinking about it, Wallace couldn't find the right candidate for grizzly.

Do not underestimate the role players, a championship contender level team, the quality of the team, in fact, largely depends on the role player.

The star decides the upper limit, and the role player decides the lower limit.

If the role player is not strong enough, the depth of the bench is not enough, then in the playoffs, when it comes to the bottom line and the limit, there is only the part that is destroyed.

NBA championship is not so easy to win, not to mention the Grizzlies, this is moving toward three consecutive titles, all teams will try to stop. This year in the playoffs, the Grizzlies may be in more trouble than in the previous two years.

Therefore, Wallace must carefully consider the candidates for reinforcement. It would be even harder to wait until the middle of the season to find a deal.

Chris Wallace is getting more and more anxious to see more and more free agents have their belongings.

Even if Ding Weidi is called back to the main line-up, his three-point ability does not play a role. Ding Weidi's three points are just his short board now.

At this time, link sent a text message to Wallace, ”have you contacted Vince Carter?”

”Vince Carter?” Seeing the name, Wallace's first reaction was, ”what kind of three-point shooter is Carter?”

But think carefully, Carter's three-point shooting rate seems to be good! The season just ended, the Mavericks played the Grizzlies in the first round of the playoffs.

During the game, Carter's three-point but frequently through the Grizzlies defense line, the shooting rate is very stable.

Wallace opened the data to check, was shocked!

In the playoffs of last season, Carter averaged more than 4 points on the court, and the three-point shooting rate was 45.8%!

Although the sample of four games is too small to explain the problem. But last season, Carter played 81 games, 39.4% of the three-point shooting rate, is also very high! 81 field samples, which are large enough.

Push forward another season, Carter's three-point shooting rate is 40.6%!

Indeed, Carter has been labeled as a ”button general” until now. But in fact, he has always been a very lethal three-point player.

Carter, who has been in the League for 16 seasons, has a 3-point shooting rate of more than 40% in 5 years and 35% in 10 years!

In addition to rookie season, the lowest shooting rate of three-point goal in career was 32.2%. Carter is also the fifth star in NBA history to hit three-point goals. Above his head are Ray Allen and Reggie Miller, and so on!

Vince Carter is an invisible marksman.

The only problem is that Carter is nearly 40 years old, and no one knows if he can keep up. The decline of a player's physical fitness will not only affect the ability of jumping and breakthrough, but also directly affect the ability of shooting.

So Chris Wallace returned to link very cautiously, ”Carter's uncertainty is too great.”

Link, however, is not worried. Because just an hour ago, Carter also made an appointment with link and said that he would go to link's training camp to train together in the summer.

That's what Carter said to link at the end of the first round of the playoffs.

At first, link thought that Carter was just talking casually, but he didn't expect to come to the truth. It was also because Carter contacted himself that link remembered that maybe Grizzlies could try to contact Carter.
