Chapter 725: Duel between old and new shooters

In the next few preseason games, the Pirates' new tactics stunned experts from all walks of life. They began to analyze the Pirates' new tactics.
From the tactical style point of view, it seems that the Pirates and the Suns' previous fast-break tactics are not much different.
But if you look closely, the difference is quite big!
The first is the number of three-point attempts. At present, the average number of three-point attempts per team in the league is between 15-20, and the number of teams that can reach 20 three-point attempts per game is rare.
But the Pirates played in these six preseason games, averaging 29 three-pointers per game!
And this is still the main lineup has not been there for a long time. If the regular season or the playoffs start, this number may seem to be improved by experts. It may be increased to more than 35 times!
This is quite terrifying, this terrible three-point shot frequency is twice that of other teams!
In addition to the terrible three-point attempts, the Pirates have completely abandoned the previous play with the core as the core.
Although Jordan played a lot of time in these preseason games, he averaged only a pitiful 5 points per game. Even in the regular season, experts feel that it is difficult for Jordan to score more than 10 points per game...
Looking at the Suns in the seven-second fast break, their inside line actually plays a very important role in the offensive link.
This is almost a completely new style of play, and many experts have also put forward their own views.
Some experts think that the Pirates play is too risky and aggressive. With such a high frequency of three-pointers, if they do not have enough heads, they can shoot themselves.
Some experts feel that Richard's new tactics have just created an era, which may lead the trend, making more and more teams begin to imitate this tactical system.
Because the advantages of this tactical system are too great, especially for those fish team, after using this tactical system, if they feel good, they may be able to accomplish the following feat.
In the era of small balls, there are still quite a lot of upset games.
Other experts hold a wait-and-see attitude. This very extreme tactical system, they cannot make an objective judgment right now, and can only wait for the regular season to test the gold content of this tactical system.
...
Richard also noticed the comments of experts from various parties, but he did not pay attention to it.
History has proved that the advanced nature of small ball tactics, so regardless of how these experts comment, Richard will certainly insist on implementing small ball tactics.
And, at the moment, this league is really suitable for teams that play small ball tactics. Richard feels that they are a pirate team.
If other teams want to emulate the pirates' tactics, it is purely Dongshi, because they do not have a lineup like the Pirates.
It may be that when the tiger is painted, it will not be an anti-dog.
However, one expert is right, this tactic will open a new era. Maybe in a few years, the value of center players will start to decline, and the value of top 3D players will start to soar.
In these days, the value of 3D players is actually good, but it is certainly not as valuable as later generations.
...
After six preseason games, the Pirates ushered in their regular season opener on October 16.
The opponent is Green Kai, and the league has arranged a fairly strong opponent for the Pirates.
Speaking of it, Lu Kai was actually sad enough. It happened to be a strong period for the Pirates. After the Big Three teamed up, he failed to win the championship. Even the coach Rivers was fired.
Danny Angie is now leading this Green Kai, but this is only temporary, Richard heard that Green Kai has been looking for a suitable head coach.
In terms of coaching, Danny Angie is not very strong, he is more suitable to serve as the team's management.
...
The game has not yet started, but Curry is quite excited, because the Green Kai team has a top three-pointer like Ray Allen.
Ray Allen is considered a historical three-pointer. Although some people do not admit that he is the strongest three-pointer in history, but purely looking at the three-point shooting rate and the number of hits, he is still qualified to sit in this position.
With such a three-pointer, Curry is naturally quite excited.
The most important thing is that Lu Kai is strong enough to withstand the pirates' toss and is unlikely to be crushed by the pirates in the first quarter, so that these starters can get more playing time.
...
After the six preseason games, the Pirates' starting crowd will be quite stumped, not because of their poor performance, but because their opponents are too impatient, and they will come to the first quarter or halftime from time to time. collapse……
...
"Beep beep!" The referee blew the whistle at the beginning of the game.
The opening ball of the Pirates, Curry quickly rushed towards the frontcourt, the man just arrived in the frontcourt, how far away from the three-point line, the hand is already the shot.
"Uh!"
The basketball is like a guidance system, and it is hollow into the net.
It can be seen that Curry's desire to attack today is quite strong. The showdown with Ray Allen's top three-pointer made Curry play a twelve-point spirit.
But soon Allen turned around and returned a three-pointer directly.
...
Next, Curry and Durant made a pick-and-roll. After Durant finished the pick-and-roll, he directly started down and attracted the opponent's defensive attention. Curry also took advantage of this opportunity and threw another one. Three points.
"Uh!" Another three-pointer.
The live pirate fans applauded loudly. In these preseason games, they were completely convinced by Curry's three points.
Last year, Curry was extremely good at making three-pointers, but at that time, Curry was only a small substitute.
There are not many chances to make an appearance, not too many mobile phones, and the shots are not as decisive as at the moment.
Last season, Curry was more like his brother's position in the league. Although three-pointers are also very good, but not many people pay attention.
This season is obviously different. As the Pirates' starting controller, he naturally attracts the attention of countless fans.
Coupled with the extremely accurate three-pointers these days, Curry's popularity has grown by a geometric multiple.
...
Seeing Curry even make two three-pointers, Ray Allen seemed to be interested too. In Green Kai's second offensive round, he made another three-pointer. Fortunately, the goal was also hit.
The opening two sides made four consecutive three-pointers, and all hit.
The two sides seemed to be angry, and then Ray Allen began to take charge of Curry's defense.
After several offensive rounds, Ray Allen didn't take advantage of it, and even had a disadvantage.
Curry made 6 of 4 three-pointers and Ray Allen was 4 of 7 in the start. This super high three-point shooting rate made the fans at the scene feast for the eyes.
The head coaches of both sides have no intention of calling a timeout, and obviously they are very satisfied with this situation.
...
In the second half of the first quarter of the game, the feel of the two began to cool down.
Ray Allen is an experienced veteran, he does not want to lead to the collapse of Lu Kai's first quarter because of his paranoia.
Speaking of the eastern side, which team does Lu Kai want to win the most? That is undoubtedly the Pirates...
The most important thing is that this season may be the last chance for the Green Giants to join the championship. If they still cannot win the championship this season, then they may have no chance in the future.
Green Kai has at least a few percent of the possibility to abandon them and then embark on the road of reconstruction.
As for Curry, he also did not continue to shoot three points in a crazy way. In the head-to-head confrontation with Ray Allen, he has already proved his three-point firepower, which is not worse than Ray Allen, which is enough.
Then Durant started to take over the game, repeatedly hitting, and Pierce cast a tangled face.
Roy's breakthrough at this point also gave Lu Kai a headache.
By the end of the first quarter, although Lv Kai did not crash, the score difference was about to break ten.
This made Danny Angie sigh long.
Originally, he had great confidence in this season's championship. After all, the Pirates sent three starters, and the lineup has changed quite a lot.
Lu Kai's lineup is exactly the same as last season. Although the Big Three are one year older, the overall strength of the team has not been greatly affected.
In this case, Danny Angie felt that they had a chance to impact the championship.
As long as they can pass the pirates level, as long as they can reach the finals, then they have at least five or five chances to win the championship.
But after the first quarter of the game, it was poured into Danny Angie cold cold water.
The Pirates have not weakened and are still so difficult to deal with.
Even this ultra-fast-paced play, compared to last season, they have to restrain their Green Kai.
The age of the three old men is not small. This high-intensity, fast-paced style of play consumes a lot of energy.
Not to mention, just on the defensive end, in order to defend the pirate team's crazy off-ball running position, it requires the Green Giant to pay a considerable amount of energy.
...
Richard had never thought that Lukai could win himself, so he was still quite relaxed at the moment, enjoying the game as much as he could.
Curry's three-pointer can be said to be crazy to the limit. From time to time, Lengzi took two three-pointers.
Defensive difficulty is too great, even if it is only a half-second slack on Curry, Curry can seize the moment to shoot three points.
If there is only one Curry, it is okay to say that the key is that Durant and Roy are also quite difficult to deal with.
Durant's unreasonable projection, Roy's explosive breakthrough, are considered the top level in the league today...
...
"Beep beep!" The referee blew the whistle at the end of the game.
The old man of Green Kai San has tried his best, but the game was still slaughtered easily by the Pirates.
A 21-point difference was won in the game, which is definitely a big win. The new pirates are also a good start for the new season.
Curry made 8 of 15 three-pointers in the game. Although the shooting rate dropped a lot after the initial opening madness, but in the end, the game also shot more than 50% of three-pointers.
The high three-point percentage is actually not terrible.
The scary thing is that there are too many shots and the hit rate is high...
8 of 15 three-pointers, 4 of 1 two-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, Curry credited 30 minutes tonight!
And these 30 points accounted for only 19 shots, and the offensive efficiency is scary.
Durant continued his dog-tolerant performance tonight. He made 11 of 17 two-pointers, 1 of 3 three-pointers, and 3 of 4 free throws. He underscored 28 points.
Roy's offensive efficiency is not as high as those of the two, but Roy has the advantage that these two do not have, that is, the ability to break the foul.
In this game, Green Kai center failed to persevere until the end of the game, and directly left the court with six offenses. Roy got 10 free throws tonight.
Two points from 5 of 13, 2 of 3 from 4 and 8 of 10 from free throw. Roy also scored 24 points.
When a team of three players scored 20+ with good efficiency, the game was basically stable.
The starting five, Curry, Durant plus Roy, scored an amazing 82 points!
As for the remaining two starters, Milicic and Jordan Jr. did not perform much on the offensive end tonight.
Jordan just scored two points, and he got a free throw. The free throw of 4 free throws was a bit pit...
But in other respects, Jordan's performance is good enough.
The data of 2 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 blocks and 1 steals is completely justified for a blue-collar center.
Milicic played the core role of the team's organization tonight. He scored 8 points, 10 rebounds, 13 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. His personal performance was not faulty.
The reason why Milicic scored less is that first of all, he does not have too much offensive desire...
Secondly, Garnett's defense is also in place tonight. If Milicic forces a shot, the scoring efficiency will definitely be very low.
...
An amazing victory, announcing that the Pirates are still invincible, even if the starting lineup has lost three players, the Pirates are still a team that can rule the league.
...
"Dear audience friends, this game is over. We saw that the Pirates are still so strong. I'm afraid the Pirates fans can feel at ease now. This season the Pirates are still the number one favorite."
"Well, guide Zhang, let's comment on the performance of the Pirates point guard Stephen Curry tonight." CCTV live broadcast, the commentator said to Zhang Weiping smiling next to him.
"I know this boy. When he was a kid, I knew this boy. At that time, I knew that this boy will become a big player in the future!"
"As a result, you saw it today. During the match against Ray Allen, he didn't lose the wind. He hit 8 three-pointers in the audience~EbookFREE.me~ It's amazing!"
"Unsurprisingly, he may take Ray Allen's class and become the league's strongest three-pointer, and may even surpass Ray Allen!"
Hearing Zhang Weiping give Curry such a high rating, the commentator on the side smiled and said, "Yes, this newcomer does look promising, but some of his shots are a bit unreasonable and seem quite hasty, I I think if he can correct this, his achievements will be higher."
Unexpectedly, Zhang Weiping on the side shook his head directly, obviously disagreeing with the commentary.
"His shot is actually quite reasonable every time. If it is really unreasonable, Richard will not sit idly by."
"I think this may be the reason that Richard fancy this child." Zhang Weiping said with a smile.
...
After the next few games were over, the Pirates performed very well. Except for one of the backcourt trio, all of them felt cold, resulting in the team only winning one point, and the rest of the games won quite a lot. Relaxed and beautiful.
