Chapter 612: The name of the team on the rotten street

"Doot toot!" The referee blew the whistle for the end of the match.

What the fans didn't expect was that their Buccaneers actually won the game......

Although the number of points won is not much, the score of 98:96 is only narrowly beaten by two points in the end.

If it weren't for a last-minute three-point shot by Andre Iguodala, the game wouldn't have been won.

But if you win, you win, and being able to win against a Western powerhouse of the king's level is enough to prove the strength of the Pirates.

The fans at the scene were excited, is this the prelude to the rise of the Pirates?!

They had a hunch in their hearts that maybe in a few years, the Pirates, a fairly ordinary team name, would become the most special team in the sports circle.

It's not wrong to say that the Pirate team name is ordinary, because there aren't too many teams named Pirates in the major sports leagues......

In the NCAA Division I league alone, there are five teams with the name of the Pirates.

In addition to the NCAA, MLB also has the Pittsburgh Buccaneers......

NFL also has the Tampa Bay Buccaneers......

South African football also has an Orlando Pirates team......

With so many pirate teams, a new army like the Charlotte Pirates is actually not famous at all.

However, fans are convinced that it won't be long before their Charlotte Pirates become the king of pirates, the most recognizable of pirates.

……

It is worth mentioning that although the name of the Pirate team is somewhat common, there is another team name that is more common than the Pirate team.

That's the bobcat.

There are 20 NCAA Division I teams with the word cat, the Wildcats, the Bobcats, and the Owls......

Looking at it this way, the name of the Pirate team is not too bad.

……

The best player of the game was undoubtedly Milicic, who played 37 minutes and recorded a triple-double of 23 points, 11 rebounds, 11 assists, 1 steal and 1 block.

If it weren't for Artest's matchup later, I'm afraid Milicic would have been able to get a 30+ triple-double tonight.

But even a 20+ triple-double is actually amazing enough for a player at the power forward position.

Chris Paul's stats continued his consistency tonight, contributing a 25 points, 5 rebounds and 10 assists.

When a team has two assists in a game, the probability of losing is not very high.

Tonight was no exception, and thanks to the strong playmaking skills of Milicic and Paul, the Pirates finally had the last laugh.

Iguodala and Granger, the two forward defenses, are also an important factor in the team's victory over the Kings.

Although these two are both new melons and eggs, they are far from their peak, but their defense is also above the league level, and their defensive efficiency is quite good.

……

Vallejo, who gave Richard countless surprises in the previous preseason session, did not play too well tonight because of the old Miller.

may also be because he wanted to make Miller's foul too much, and he took the initiative to fall to the ground twice, but the referee didn't blow it, allowing Miller to get an opportunity to shoot in an empty position under the basket.

Therefore, this acting skill cannot be used too often, and if it is used too much, the referee will become resistant.

Especially in the face of Miller's inside line that has been playing for many years, as soon as you take off your pants, people know what you are going to do, how can you keep being fooled.

So, this led to Vallejo not playing well tonight and not being very efficient defensively.

On the contrary, Gortat was a bit outstanding tonight.

He doesn't have a slippery head like Vallejo, nor does he have the superb acting skills of Vallejo, and he can only play with Miller one move at a time on the court.

Not to mention, just such a trick, his statistics are better than Vallejo.

He played 25 minutes tonight and had a double-double of 12 points and 10 rebounds.

Richard is naturally quite satisfied, Gortat is the bargaining chip he is ready to trade, and the better he performs at the moment, the higher the natural value.

In 25 minutes of playing time, Gortat was able to get two double-doubles, which was actually quite difficult.

In today's league, there are not many players who can average a solid double-double per game.

……

For the next three games, it was still the home of the Pirates.

As a result, the Buccaneers have a two-win and one-loss record.

This is a record that will definitely delight Pirate fans, considering that the Pirates only won 11 games last season.

And this season, after just four games, the Buccaneers have won three games, a winning rate of 75 percent.

And, what excited them the most was that Milicic actually got another triple-double.

In the first four games, he scored two triple-doubles, which directly made Milicic the hottest interior player after the start of the new season.

Of course, while the situation seems to be good, there are potential dangers.

Since the start of the season, the three teams that the Pirates have won are the Kings, Raptors and Knicks.

The Kings and the Pirates played well and narrowly won in the end.

And winning the Raptors and Knicks is purely the strength of the opponent......

Against the Knicks, Milicic scored the second triple-double of his career.

By the time of Game 4 against the Bulls, the teams in the league had pretty much figured out the characteristics of the Pirates.

The Buccaneers mainly play a combination of inside and outside, with Paul on the outside as the playmaker and Milicic on the inside as the playmaker.

It is not easy for the opponent to pinch Paul, the outside organization, but it is not too difficult to pinch Milicic, the inside organization.

After figuring out this characteristic, the Bulls defended Milicic tightly, and in the end, Milicic only scored 5 assists in this game, and the team also lost to the Bulls by 13 points.

The door was caught, which made Richard helpless.

In Richard's previous teams, there was a super dominant interior line.

The opponent can't catch his own life at all, and they are helpless against these super inside lines.

A Vallejo is certainly not a dominant force now, and neither is Gortat.

Mo Ning was dominant at his peak, but now Mo Ning's state can be half of his peak strength.

Milicic is good, but he is not a traditional insider, and expecting him to stand under the basket and play hard steel with others will certainly not be much better.

In this case, Richard is extremely nostalgic for the Auburn and Yao Ke combinations......

But after all, life has to go forward, and the current dilemma still has to find a way to solve it.

In the end, Richard reluctantly pulled out four famous points, all of which smashed into Milicic's speed, increasing his speed attribute to 86 points......

This is the best thing Richard can think of at the moment.

When the speed increases, the natural mobility will be stronger, and the mobility will be stronger, and more things can be done on the field.

The success rate of the pick-and-roll is higher, the probability of breaking through the blockade is greater, and there is a better chance of running out of the open space for projection.

Anyway, there is no harm in everything.

Richard's heart must be dripping blood, and that's a full four points of fame......

The speed of 86 points can only be said to be relatively fast in the outside group, and the speed of many top outside lines can reach more than 90.

But in the interior group, this 86-point speed is extremely top-notch, at least there are very few interior lines in the league today that can reach the level of Milicic.

To be precise, there should be no ......
