One Hundred and Fifty-Eight: Let's Shoot
In the 08-09 season, the 36-year-old Grant Hill played full time for the first time in his career. Hill has been in great physical shape this season, and while he's not quite as good as his prime, his dunks from time to time remind fans of his youthful glory.
Of course, the most interesting thing about Hill this season is not his healthy body, but his super high shooting percentage! In the 08-09 season, Grant Hill's shooting percentage was as high as 52.3%, ranking 16th in the league!
Some people may say that ranking 16th in the league in shooting percentage is not a big deal. But in fact, the top 15 shooting percentages ahead of Hill are all inside players! In other words, of all the guards and small forwards that season, Hill had the highest shooting percentage! His mid-range, his cutting layups and even dunks all have a super high finishing rate!
Of course, Hill was not without shortcomings in that period. His 31.8% three-point shooting rate was not enough to watch. Hill's 3-pointer wasn't fully developed at that time, and he shot less and scored less.
But for Link, this is not a problem, because he already has the long-range shooting ability of Hill's 43.8% three-point shooting in the 09-10 season.
Such long-range shooting ability and Hill's overall shooting percentage during the 08-09 season...the combination of these two effects can make Link very happy. It can be said that in the two years when Hill's shooting ability was the best, his shooting level was all integrated into Link!
With the blessing of his excellent hand, Link's three-point shooting rate will now be higher. In terms of mid-range and basket finishing, Link has the highest shooting percentage among perimeter players in the league.
Thinking of this, Link was very excited. After the upgrade, he immediately tried to shoot a three-pointer in the training hall, and the hit rate really improved significantly!
Link made 100 3-pointers and hit 93 of them! This is the highest record since he entered the Grizzlies!
And that's not counting, of those 93 goals, 75 were consecutive! That's right, join in! Link started with the fifth ball and made 75 3-point attempts after that, without a single miss! The sound of the Nets rolling continuously made Link more excited.
Link still remembers that the media reported that Curry made 77 consecutive three-pointers in training, and the highest hit rate was 96 of 100. In other words, at least in terms of training, Link's three-point shooting level is already very top!
Of course, actual combat and training are different. In actual combat, the Warriors' future tactics and Curry's shots can ensure that he has a super high three-point shooting rate. Link may not be as accurate as Curry in actual combat, but he is more accurate than himself now, he can definitely do it!
Link has hit 38.6 percent of his three-pointers this season. The reason why it didn't reach Hill's 43.8% in the same period is because Link took far more three-pointers than Hill.
But after today's upgrade, Link felt that he should be able to increase his three-point shooting rate to more than 40% when he made a lot of shots.
Top 3-point shooting ability? Just thinking about it made Link's pants wet.

When Randolph walked into the locker room early in the morning, he was taken aback by Link. That guy's dark circles were too exaggerated!
"Wocao, why did you go yesterday? Did you finally find a woman to go home? How is it? Are your legs sore?" Randolph sat beside Link with a mean smile on his face. Knowing that Link was dishonest, he went out to have fun with Tony Allen behind his back.
"What are you talking about? I didn't sleep well last night, I'm so excited! Hey, Zach, do you want to compete with me later?" Link looked at Randolph excitedly, and he couldn't help showing off his hands. Your own shooting skills.
"Shooting? No fun, if you'd like to practice the post with me, I'll gladly accept it."
"Damn, you're 40 pounds heavier than me, and you and I will be practicing low-post singles. Hey,
Tony, do you want to compare shots later? "Link waved at Randolph, then immediately turned to look at Tony Allen.
"Me? Shooting?" Tony Allen pointed at himself with a bewildered expression. "Forget it, I'm afraid that the basket in the training hall will be troublesome to repair and it will be smashed by me."
"Fuck, it's not interesting. Mike, let's shoot 100 shots with me, let's practice, how about it?" Link abandoned Randolph and Tony Allen, and moved to Mike Conley again.
Conley didn't say anything just now, because he was afraid of "burning himself", but he was still being targeted by Link.
After being targeted by Link, Conley looked innocently at Randolph and Tony Allen, but those two guys looked helpless.
Xiao Kangli sighed, it's me who gets hurt every time...

"Hollins, come out and have a look, the training ground is very lively." Grizzlies assistant coach Elston Turner walked into Hollins' office with a cup of coffee, with a bright face on his face. Smile.
"What's wrong?"
"Link doesn't know what's going on. Early in the morning, he was looking for people to compare shots with him. Now, he and Conley have been compared."
"It's a comparison, it's normal for young people to like to play." Hollins waved his hand. The entertainment method of Grizzlies players has always been different. They didn't go out to Songkran with a bucket of Gatorade, and Hollins deserved it.
"No, not normal at all. Link almost made Conley cry, really."
Hearing Turner say this, Hollins raised his head slightly, "How many did he get in?"

By the time Hollins walked out of the office and onto the practice court, the players had all gathered in the halfcourt where Link and Conlibby were shooting.
The rules of the game are very simple. The two sides alternate shots, 100 shots per person, and alternate shots after 50 shots, which is equivalent to dividing the 100 shots into the upper and lower halves. In the end, whoever gets the most in the two rounds wins.
"40, 41, 42, 43..."
As soon as Hollins stepped onto the training ground, he heard the players counting in groups. He pushed aside the crowd and squeezed in, and found that it was Link who was shooting.
"Zach, what are you counting?" Hollins thought the players were counting Link's goals.
"We are counting Link's consecutive goals! He just scored 42 consecutive goals in the first round!" Randolph replied in a loud voice!
"38 in a row!?" Hollins raised his head and looked at the court in amazement, just to see Link's shot, and the basketball hit again!
And after the ball hit, all the players shouted the last number in unison, "50!"
After Link finished his vote, everyone rushed forward, obviously having a good time.
Hollins stood at the outer edge of the crowd, not realizing what had happened. 50? Could it be that Link made all 50 shots from beyond the arc just now! ?
"Damn, I'll never play the shooting game with you again, never again!" Conley was ecstatic while complaining about Link. Link's high shooting percentage stunned everyone.
42 in the first round and 50 in the second round, which means Link scored 92 out of 100 shots! In the Grizzlies, 100 3-pointers can hit more than 80, which is considered a high hit.
After all, the three-point shot was not popular in the league in that era, and the Grizzlies were not a team that relied on three-pointers to win. Everyone's three-point shooting rate was generally not that high.
That's why Link's shooting percentage is so exciting for all Grizzlies players. This may be the most atmospheric 3-point practice the Grizzlies have ever had!
After Hollins figured out the ins and outs of the matter, he looked at Link, who was being surrounded by his teammates in the middle.
The magic of that kid seems to have not been fully developed yet.
Three pairs? Rookie MVP? Hmm... Maybe this is just the beginning for him.
