On January 20, Beijing time, the second season of his career, the Grizzlies Desmond Bain has become one of the most important players. This season he scored 17.7 points and shot 42 percent from three-point range. A 8.5-point surge from his rookie season gives Bain the chance to compete for the fastest improving player of the year.
In his opinion, playing on a small market team affects his probability of winning. Bain said: "A lot of times, I myself and players like Jerami Grant don't get many votes, and they think it's because of the change in our role. But your role changes definitely because you make progress, and as you progress, you get more opportunities. The game is like that, the team doesn't leave the opportunity to the unprepared, and everyone here is trying to win the game and support the family. I think I should definitely get into this discussion, like Jerami Grant, Derwent Graham, I'm going to vote for this type of player. ”
With the help of Grizzlies coach Jenkins, Bane has changed his position as a pure pitcher. Bain said: "When I first came to the team, one of the assistant coaches of the team jokingly asked me if I was afraid to go into the box because I kept shooting three points. But now, I've started to end in the near frame. Yesterday I just shot one three-pointer and all my destructive power was in the basket and in the box, which I wouldn't have done before. ”
In addition to the team's success, Bain's other goal this season is to play in the All-Star three-point game: "If I'm invited, I plan to play and win this game. It's special, and obviously my label for entering the league is shooter. Being able to play in a three-point contest in the second year was like a dream come true for me, and it was also a test of my hard training. I want to be considered one of the best pitchers in the world, and the three-point contest is a good stage. So being invited to participate is obviously a huge recognition, but also a huge respect, a tribute to my hard work by the league. This proves that my career is moving in the right direction. ”
