Chapter 722: He is the only one who can prevent Durant

In the blink of an eye, the preseason of the 2009-10 season officially opened.
Because the team practiced a new tactic for a month, Richard did not give the newcomers too much playing time this time, but let the main lineup debut and test the power of the new tactics.
The opponent of the preseason opener is the New Jersey Nets in the same district. If Richard is right, the Nets are now completely rebuilding.
Rebuilding with Yi Jianlian as the core cornerstone...
This season, the Nets are likely to be ruined, and then in the next year, they will draw a forward first-round pick and choose a reliable swingman.
The current situation of the Nets is quite beneficial for Yi Jianlian. He is relieved to see that Yi Jianlian is now firmly established in the league.
...
The referee blew the whistle at the beginning of the game, and the starters from both sides started playing.
The starting lineup of the Pirates has changed considerably from last season.
Starting center small Jordan, power forward Milicic, small forward Durant, point guard Roy, point guard Curry.
Except that Milicic and Roy were the starting players last season, the others are all new faces in the starting lineup.
The Nets' starting lineup is actually pretty good. Yi Jianlian and Luo have added a Devin Harris.
The strength of these three people is quite okay. Yi Jianlian seems to be the level of the league's first-line power forward because of the binding of the Milicic template.
The level of Luo Yiban and Harris is worse, but it is definitely stronger than the ordinary starting players.
Of course, even if these three people exist, the Nets' strength is actually not worth mentioning, because their other players are really scum.
In addition to the three people, there are eleven players in the Nets. To embarrass Richard, these eleven players know only half of them, and the other half of them are very eye-catching. No impression at all.
Such a ghost lineup, even if their Nets are not sloppy this year, resting in the eastern part of the powerhouse, in fact, it is not so easy to enter the playoffs.
The overall strength of the East is actually more than that of the West. The four teams of the Pirates, Green Kai, Pistons and Cavaliers are all good, and the lineup is quite good.
After excluding these four teams, the Magic and Heat teams are not vegetarian.
The Heat have improved a lot in recent years because of the joining of Iguodala and Beasley.
Beasley is much more honest than normal, probably also during high school, and the conversation between Richard and him produced results.
Right now Beasley is in the Heat. Last season, he averaged 17 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists. Although he is not as good as Durant, but as a sophomore, his performance is actually eye-catching.
Apart from Oden and Durant, no rookie who has entered the league in recent years has been able to stabilize Beasley.
It was Iguodala's performance that disappointed Pat Riley.
He placed great expectations on Iguodala, because according to Iguodala's performance in the Pirates, this cargo definitely has the potential to become a small forward of historical rank.
But after the Heat, although Iguodala's strength has not declined, but there has been no obvious growth. In general, it has maintained the level of the previous two years...
The All-Star level, but not the top-level All-Star level in active service, let alone the historical All-Star level.
At the beginning, Pat Riley thought about making a big profit in this transaction, but now it seems that he has not earned anything...
...
The game on the field has already begun.
Jordan and Luo jumped the ball, and got the first offensive round directly for the Pirates.
Curry controlled the ball and moved towards the frontcourt. After the ball reached the frontcourt, Curry was looking for a passer.
"start running!"
"Quick pass, don't hesitate!"
"Either cast or pass!"
"Give me speed!"
Richard stood on the sidelines and shouted loudly towards the field.
This is the team's first game after enabling the new tactics. The players are still a little bit uncomfortable. Especially in the backcourt engine Curry, they are struggling.
According to Richard's tactics, after dribbling to the frontcourt, if there is a chance, he will immediately make a three-point shot, and if there is no chance, he will immediately pass the ball to his teammates, he will start running without the ball, waiting Passed by teammates.
It sounds very easy, but for the young Curry, it is not so easy. At least he has to spend some time to find the passing goal after he arrives in the frontcourt.
At present, Curry's organizational ability is definitely not as good as that of Rondo and Paul. He has much less experience than the two, and even after reaching the peak, Curry's organizational ability is not as strong as these two.
After Richard's loud shouting, Curry did not dare to continue to pass the ball without any hesitation. He directly greeted Harris's defense and made a three-point shot.
This shot was too hasty, and the effect was naturally very unsatisfactory, not hitting the iron.
However, Jordan under the basket also played out his own value, grabbing this offensive rebound on the head of Luo Yi.
Then Jordan handed over the basket and handed the ball to Milicic near the basket. Milicic successfully scored in a small throw.
...
Richard frowned while standing on the sidelines, the offensive rhythm was still awful, and he could not reach the point where the warriors of the later generations would travel in a cloud.
Fortunately, it's only the preseason right now, and the Pirates still have time to learn from it.
...
Then came the offensive round of the Nets. After Frank returned to the Nets, the first thing was to develop a set of tactics with Yi Jianlian as the core.
After Harris controlled the ball to the frontcourt, he directly looked for an opportunity to pass the ball to Yi Jianlian, who then divided the ball.
Frank's tactic is almost a variant of the Princeton system...
With the development of the concept of basketball tactics, some tactics have not adapted to the times, but these tactics have not been swept into the historical garbage dump, but have been regained their brilliance through adjustment by future coaches.
This is true of the triangle offense system, as is the Princeton system.
After Yi Jianlian held the ball, he passed it straight to the empty-cut team starting small forward Jarvis Hayes...
Richard, a small forward named Hayes, was somewhat impressed, but he was not impressed. He belonged to a relatively marginal group in the league. He didn't expect to mix up with the starting position in the Nets.
After Hayes received the ball, the idea was very good. He wanted to take a quick shot while Durant had not blocked his breakthrough route.
As a result, his CIC vote came awkwardly...
If we say that the three-pointer is non-stick, that's okay. Although it is embarrassing, it is not unacceptable.
But now the CIC can be three-way, enough to see the strength of this player.
Durant was also shocked. He didn't expect his matchup Hayes to be such a tiger.
The shot was extremely fast, and the lightning was quick, and the result was a three-touch...
The operation is as fierce as a tiger, with a record of five to five.
Yi Jianlian shook his head with a tangled expression, his own pass was actually quite subtle, but it was correct, and his teammates' ability was really limited.
...
The ball was in the hands of the Pirates, and Curry played a lot more firmly this time.
After the ball reached the frontcourt, Curry immediately passed the ball to Durant in the shaft area.
After Durant received the ball, he didn't make any running movements. The open hand was a straight shot and the opposing Hayes tried to block it, but this was less than ten centimeters tall, plus Durant Excellent athletic ability, his cover can only be regarded as futile.
"Uh!"
Clearly entering the net, Durant scored the first goal of his pirate career.
After hitting, Durant's expression calmed down and began to return to defense.
Last season, he scored 26 points per game in the Trail Blazers. For his player, it was not a happy thing to score a pre-season game.
...
Following this offensive round of the Nets, Yi Jianlian simply did not pass the ball.
At present, among the teammates in the Nets, in Yi Jianlian's view, I am afraid that the offense is a bit sure that there is only one Luo, even if it is the core of the backcourt Harris, it is actually not accurate.
In this case, it is better to come by yourself...
Against Milicic's defense, Yi Jianlian directly turned over and leaned back. It was difficult to hit the ball into the basket.
In fact, Yi Jianlian's technology can't pick out any faults. He can come in so many ways, and now this record is quite beautiful.
...
It was the offensive round of the Pirates again. This time Curry might have eaten the sweetness of the last offensive round. After the ball arrived in the frontcourt, he passed the ball to Durant without saying a word.
After Durant received the ball, he directly pulled in front of Hayes.
"Uh!"
It's hollow again...
Hayes's face is green, how can he prevent it? !
The gap in height is so large, and the gap in arm span is also very large. Even if his athletic ability is similar to Durant, it is difficult for him to interfere with Durant's shot.
It means that these two goals ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Durant is completely shot in a half-empty state, and his defense is a joke.
In the next few rounds, Curry and Durant started to connect. After Curry reached the frontcourt, he passed the ball to Durant and let Durant pull out.
Fifth from five shots, what shocked the pirates fans on the spot was that they used Oden for the thin hemp pole, as if there was something on hand...
Richard stood on the sidelines, his face finally showing a smile.
But his smile is not because the team's tactical system is well executed, but Durant's performance is too brilliant.
The opening of the five-for-five campaign is quite characteristic of death. Richard couldn't help remembering the previous sentence.
Durant can only guard against Durant's own feel.
(There is also Wei Shao, my God, is Wei Shao's shooting rate serious in this series? This kind of gameplay can't give him Durant to win the championship. Before, I said Lowry was pitted. Lowry, I’m sorry, you’re not the pitiest point guard in the playoffs this year.)
