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.


    The old Carter style has been famous all his life, but he has never been associated with the championship. Therefore, his desire to win the championship should also be very strong, it is unlikely to refuse the invitation of the champion team.


    At the end of the first round of last season''s playoffs, link also regretted that Carter could not play in a better environment. If he can join a championship level team, such as the Grizzlies, it will certainly play a maximum role, reflecting greater value.


    I didn''t expect that now, let Carter join the Grizzlies opportunity really come!


    If Carter really trains with link in the summer, then link guarantees that Carter''s condition will certainly be stable!


    And Carter such veteran, in the playoffs can play a greater role. His experience, his perseverance and his professional attitude are all excellent.After discussing with Wallace for a while, the Grizzlies decided to try. But Wallace was not the first to contact Carter, but link to contact Carter.


    Wallace believes that link himself will be more likely to succeed in the recruitment. After all, I can see that Carter is very appreciative of link.


    So link called Carter that afternoon.


    "Is the time of the training camp determined so soon? When I called you in the morning, didn''t you say it was still planned? " Old Carter was surprised to hear from link.


    When he contacted link to train with him in the morning, link also said that the training time might be arranged in a few days. But just a few hours later, link called back.


    "I''m not calling you about training camp, Vince."


    "Oh? Do you still want to ask me to play golf? " Carter laughed.


    "It''s not golf either. I''m calling to confirm that after your contract with the Mavericks has expired, you haven''t reached an agreement with any team this summer?"


    Listen to link ask this question, Carter instantly serious. As a veteran, he certainly knows what link means.


    "Did I hear you correctly? The best defensive player, MVP, fmvp and double Slam winner are recruiting an old man who is nearly 40 years old? " Carter asked with self mockery.


    "Hey hey, didn''t you say you want to train with me? If you come to Memphis, we can train together every day. And, no matter how old you are, as long as you have that desire, you can perform. I believe you still have that desire, the desire to win, right? "


    When Carter said this, Carter suddenly fell silent.


    For some reason, he suddenly remembered the summer of 2002, 12 years ago. Maybe it''s because this is the first time since that summer that Carter has been talking to a Chinese for such a long time.


    In the summer of 2002, Carter came to China for the first time and was interviewed by Chinese journalists for the first time.


    At that time, Xinlang reporter asked him a question, a similar question about the championship, "does the Raptors hope to win the NBA championship?"


    At that time, Carter was very confident, "of course, it is possible. If we can adjust the lineup of raptors, we can maintain a relatively stable lineup on this basis, reaching one to two years, or even longer. So on the basis of the core players to play out the potential of these players, I think, finally get at least one NBA championship ring is completely possible


    In the summer of 2002, the world did not know who Yao Ming was, and the "OK group" had just established a dynasty. Vince Carter was still full of vigor and youth. At least he believes that he can win the championship.


    And then?


    After 12 years, he still hasn''t tasted the taste of the championship...


    if he is not careful, years will take away his original courage. And the word champion, Carter has been a long time no longer fantasy.


    Until now, the Chinese American player who called has awakened something in his heart again...


    "Vince?" Seeing that Carter didn''t speak for a long time, link thought the cell phone had no signal.


    "Link, i... when are you going to talk to me?"


    UFO, which has not taken off again for a long time, decided to plug up the last remaining oil in the fuel tank and put it together again!
