Chapter 611: Milicic's growth

At eight o'clock in the evening, the Pirates' new season opener kicked off.
Speaking of which, there are actually not many Pirates fans who have hope for this game, mainly because the King is too strong...
Although the Kings are not enough to compare with the Peak Trail Blazers or the Peak Pistons, this team has been a frequent visitor to the Western Conference playoffs since playing Adelman and has even won the top position in the Western Record.
Although the lineup has not changed much in the past two years, but the thin and dead camels are bigger than the horses. The fact that they have four mature West Lafayette players on their team is enough to show their strength.
The King's starting lineup has started.
Center Brad Miller, power forward Raheem, Peja and Artest on the forward line, and finally a point guard White Devil Bibby.
Richard can't help but secretly, this is the proper All-Star lineup...
All five of them have been selected as All-Stars. If it is not one of them who has suffered an injury, all five of them are at their peak. It is really possible to get involved in the championship.
For Adelman's ability to build a lineup, Richard couldn't help but admire.
...
The Pirates' starting lineup for the new season is Valejo, Milicic, Iguodala, Granger and Chris Paul.
Although it is also an All-Star lineup, after all, it is a bit younger.
As soon as the opening king's Princeton system played a good effect, Miller as the center axis on the field completely liberated Bibby's offensive firepower.
With Miller as the team's organization point, Bibby can give full play to his projection ability.
Moreover, Miller has been in the league for so many years, Valecho's acting has no effect on him.
As soon as the result opened, the king pressed the pirates.
In just three minutes of opening, the King had a five-point advantage.
Richard did not rush to call for a suspension, and he was still able to accept this backward situation.
Now, it depends on whether the new melons on the field can adjust the rhythm of the game.
If you play at the king's rhythm, the Pirates will undoubtedly lose miserably in this game tonight.
Soon, the team's backcourt engine, Paul did not use Richard to greet, and took the initiative to speed up.
This speedup directly allowed the Pirates to play a good situation on the offensive end.
As the saying goes, chaos fought to kill the master, and the pirates attacked in an orderly manner, gradually letting them control the situation.
Especially the combination of rice cannon, the coordination of the two players on the field can be described as fascinating.
Richard is unbelievable about this. Under normal circumstances, Milicic and Chris Paul are totally unplayable.
The two don't even talk about being teammates, but they have few chances to play against each other. Naturally they can't get in touch with each other. It feels that the two are completely people from two worlds.
But after being put together by Richard, the two immediately showed incredible power.
Rahim was really a little bit devastated by injuries. His athletic ability, which he was originally proud of, became his shortcoming.
If Richard remembers correctly, next season, Adelman may allow Rahim to start playing more substitutes.
It was also from this season that Raheem was completely stunned and retired in a few years.
The young and powerful Milicic has a huge advantage over Rahim in terms of athletic ability.
Rahim wanted to defend Milicic, but was weak, and his defense was almost useless in front of Milicic.
When the first quarter ended, Milicic had already scored 8 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists.
Needless to say, if there is no surprise tonight, Milicic estimates that there will be a triple-double data entry.
Seeing Milicic's performance on the field, in addition to Jokic, Richard also thought of the chasing Green of the Warriors.
Chasing Green is the Warriors' frontcourt core, and Milicic has almost the same role in the Pirates.
It's just that Milicic is much more defensive than Offensive Green on the offensive end.
Outside three-pointers, pick-and-roll down, second offense after grabbing the board, break the ball, the presence of the offensive end is quite sufficient.
Especially for the breakthrough point, although Green can do the same, but his passing ability is far inferior to Milicic. Milicic’s passing is like installing a guidance system, plus height advantage, vision It's pretty good. You can always find the most suitable passing time and passing object.
Of course, when it comes to defense, Milicic is certainly not as good as Chasing Green, after all, Chasing Green is dpoy.
However, Millicic won at a young age. With the accumulation of experience and the continuous improvement of his physical quality, no one would dare to say that he would not reach the defensive level of the dpoy level in the future.
Maybe in the future, Milicic will become a high-profile version of Chasing Green.
The normal chase egg Green was originally called by the Cavaliers fans as the top ten players in the league, and the high-match version can make it to the top five.
In the second quarter, Milicic continued the violent performance of the first quarter.
Adelman sighed and replaced Raheem with Bunch Wells on their bench.
Let Artest temporarily top the power forward position...
Although Peja's height is enough to play power forward, but defense is not his strength. The effect of defending Milicic is definitely not as short as Artest.
In fact, Artest is also a relatively special player. He is a player who can defend from the 1st position to the 4th position, and even some short 5th positions, he can easily match.
It's just that the team generally doesn't give Artest such a performance opportunity. Most of the time on the court he is used to defend the offensive vanguard.
For example, against the Lakers, then use Artest to defend against Kobe.
For example, against Green Kai, then use it to prevent Pierce...
Anyway, the outside is strong, Artest will defend, this is the real defensive gate.
...
As Artest came to defend, Milicic's attack was naturally affected. At least he wanted to easily score after the pick-and-roll. It must be impossible.
However, Milicic directly changed his offensive strategy, began to rely on his height advantage, from time to time projection, returned the core position of the organization on the field to Chris Paul.
Richard nodded with satisfaction ~ EbookFREE.me ~ This is the third season of Milicic entering the league.
For three seasons, this kid has been playing under his own hands, and Richard can clearly feel the growth of this kid.
He is not the kind of player that Duncan made his debut, but he can improve himself step by step.
Players like Duncan naturally like every head coach, but coaches like Milicic continue to improve, because they can feel the sense of accomplishment from this kid.
After the position of the core of the organization was exchanged to Paul, Paul matured and stable far beyond his age and led the team to attack.
Wake Forest University players seem to have this kind of maturity far beyond the age.
Duncan, Paul and Josh Howard all showed mature and stable characteristics in the rookie season.
Even the less powerful Bugs and Jeff Teague, thinking about their careers, are actually quite low-key.
