Rondo, watching from the sidelines, felt a sense of urgency and was even more determined to train hard.
In the cooperation with Zhang Yang, Hill seemed more suitable than him because Hill had a mid-range shot, and his ability to catch the ball high could attract help defense, creating more opportunities. Rondo, not being a shooter, didn't have that condition.
However, compared to his middle school, high school, and college days, he no longer felt so desperate about improving his shooting ability. Over more than a year, he had indeed developed his free throws, and there was a possibility that he could stabilize at over 70% next season; he had also brought his three-point shot to 30%. Therefore, a "Fixed-Point Mid-Range Shot" could potentially be developed!
Gerald had once said, "You are still young, and being young is your greatest asset. Don't deny your own possibilities."
