In August, when most of the stars are still around the world for business events or traveling around the world.

In Memphis, Link Training Camp has officially opened.

This time, Link didn't choose to go to Los Angeles for training, because most of the people Link invited to training camp this year were Grizzlies' own players.

Josh. Richardson, Spencer. Dinwiddie and Harrell, naturally, can't run away.

Jokic can't report because he's going to be at the Olympics. But being able to experience on the international stage is also good for Jokic.

Conley, who was reimbursed for last season's season, also wants to start training early this summer and get back into form sooner.

Gasol originally wanted to come with Conley, but because of the Olympics, he could only focus on the national team.

These four people, counting Link, means that the Grizzlies alone have five people to join the training camp this year!

Therefore, Link simply put the training location in Memphis.

In a small place like Memphis, it also helps the players to concentrate on training.

After all, Los Angeles is a metropolis, and the world of flowers is very exciting. The others Link wasn't worried, whether those three young people could endure it or not, but it was hard to say.

But in Memphis, you just can't find a place to go out and surf.

So choosing Memphis can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone.

As for the trainer, Link's old friend Chris . Naturally, Brickley came to Memphis with his team and continued to assist Link.

Brickley and Link work together every summer, and the two are already old friends.

Although more and more people are making appointments with Brickley as Brickley's fame grows now, he always sets aside his summer time for Link.

Of course, in addition to Brickley's guys, this year's training team also joined the Grizzlies' new player development consultant, Steve Brown. Nash!

With Canada not making it to the Olympics this summer, Nash has been on a break this summer.

While he will have to prepare for another four-year Olympics in the future, at least for now, he can devote himself to training with the Grizzlies.

The dual-core trainer lineup of Brickley + Nash ensures the high level of training quality that Link Training Camp continues to have.

On August 4th, everyone was assembled and began a one-and-a-half-month special training.

Special training to work hard for the championship!

Link was not sloppy, and on the first day, he was the first to show up. As the biggest and most successful player in the entire training camp, Link is the hardest-working.

But to Link's relief, the next day, he wasn't the first to arrive.

The next day, before Link even walked into the gym, he heard the sound of basketballs colliding with the wooden floor, and the beautiful notes of the nets tumbling.

Link pushed open the door and saw that Dinwiddie was already practicing his three-point shot.

You know, it's only half past six. But it looks like Dinwiddie has been training for a while.

After continuing the early hours of the morning in Los Angeles, there is another Memphis early morning story?

"Morning." Link greeted Dinwiddie, glad that he wasn't the one who had come first.

"Morning, Link!" Spencer. Dinwiddie, the guard with the retro exploding head, waved at Link spiritedly.

Then, go ahead and dive into your own three-point practice.

One of Dinwiddie's most pressing needs to improve this summer is his three-point shot!

Last season, Dinwiddie shot less than 20 percent from three-point range. For comparison, Rondo, who has historically been thought to be unable to shoot three-pointers, shot 35.2 percent from three-point range last season.

In a league where even big men are shooting threes, a guard who doesn't shoot threes is a plummeting threat.

So, on the first day of training camp, Dinwiddie began to specialize in three-point shooting under Nash's guidance.

Three-point practice, something that even Link has never experienced. After all, his three-point skills have been lit up since he entered the league.

But it's not hard to imagine how boring Link's three-point practice is.

No confrontation, no dribbling and no overly complicated movements.

All you have to do is try to put the ball in the basket from beyond the three-point line over and over again.

Let your muscles form memories that allow you to shoot high-quality shots without thinking too hard.

However, it was this boring training that Dinwiddie injected all his enthusiasm with.

Yesterday, Dinwiddie was the last to leave the arena. Today, he is the first to come.

This drive made Link extremely pleased.

Link knew that Dinwiddie was also holding back his strength. His rookie season was largely spent in the Development League, and Link knows exactly what the players who play in the Development League are thinking.

If he could, Dinwiddie could have chosen to go to a foreign league, play easily, and make money happily.

But just like Link and Upshaw, every time that thought comes to them, they ask themselves, "Is this what you really want?" ”

Then, they will grit their teeth and continue to prove themselves in the development league.

The current Dinwiddie is the original Link and Upshaw!

And, Dinwiddie has a major injury that neither Link nor Upshaw has experienced — a major injury.

In fact, Dinwiddie was very good in college. Both academically and in basketball, they are quite good.

His careful thinking and studious personality from childhood to adulthood made his SAT total score reach 1400 points!

So much so that his family once urged him to go to Harvard University.

If it weren't for a better basketball environment, Dinwiddie might have been another Harvard top student.

After choosing the University of Colorado, Dinwiddie's performance on the basketball court did not disappoint.

By the time he was a sophomore, Dinwiddie had grown to 1.98 meters. At that time, he could not only continue to play the No. 1 position, but also defend small forward.

The tall No. 1 position with excellent scoring and playmaking skills is something that all teams in the league can only dream of.

At that time, Dinwiddie's prediction was once in the lotto zone. It's a pity that a tear of the anterior cruciate ligament shattered his dream of stardom in an instant.

This kind of college genius suffered an injury and fell, and it may be even more unwilling than the very mediocre college students like Link and Upshaw.

Therefore, Dinwiddie's drive is not inferior to that of Link and Upshaw back then.

He doesn't believe in fate, he believes in his own control.

Link didn't continue to bother Dinwiddie, but silently pitched in the other half.

With Nash's help, if Dinwiddie keeps practicing like this, his three-point shooting percentage will definitely increase.

Last season, Dinwiddie's breakaway finishing ability was already impressive. His smart and cool mind also makes his organization very smooth. Approaching 2 meters tall, he also has a big advantage when defending the number one position.

Dinwiddie is actually close to a complete body, as long as he can point out the skill of three points, Dinwiddie will definitely be able to soar!

The two of them didn't say a word, and just threw for about twenty minutes.

At this time, Dinwiddie suddenly opened his mouth.

"Otherwise, let's shoot three-pointers, Link."

"Huh? Are you sure? Link looked at Dinwiddie with a grin, and his courage was worth commending.

"If you don't have competition, you don't feel so motivated. We come to 100 three-point shots every morning, and the loser stays after training and practices 300 shots, what do you think? Dinwiddie scratched his head, as if he was a little shy.

But Link knows that Dinwiddie is introverted but extremely competitive!

Otherwise, he might have given up on himself after a serious injury.

"Okay, congratulations first. Because from now on, you're going to have to stay and practice every day, Spencer. Link tilted his head and confidently walked over to Dinwiddie.

Before you know it, Link finds that he has reached the age to bring a new person......

In the past, Tony. The footage of Aaron, Battier and others training themselves seems to be still yesterday. But in the blink of an eye, the next reincarnation has already begun.

Bring the young people you have trained to compete for honor?

Well..... I think it's a sense of accomplishment, right......

From now on, every morning at half past six, the sound of shooting will appear on time in the training hall.

And at the end of each day's workout, Dinwiddie was forced to stay and practice 300 three-point shots.

But as the days went by, Link found himself getting tougher and tougher to win against Dinwiddie......
