Chapter 723: You're the strongest three-pointer in history
After Frank succeeded in Durant's successive pulls, the whole person was also bad.
This kind of inexplicable attacking method will be quite a headache for the head coach of any team.
After the ball is in someone's hand, if you want to prevent it, you can't prevent it at all, so you can only resign yourself to fate and see how they feel.
"Doot toot!" Frank called a timeout, no way, if he didn't call a timeout, it was the rhythm of the first quarter to collapse.
Taking advantage of the timeout, Frank rearranged his defensive tactics in desperation, mainly cutting off Durant's receiving route and preventing him from getting the ball inside the three-point line.
As for outside the three-point line, there is really no way, if Durant takes the ball outside the three-point line and then pulls out to play this kind of shooting rate, no matter what defensive strategy Frank arranges, it is completely useless.
Frank arranged two people to flank Durant, anyway, first choke out Durant's offensive firepower at this point.
……
"Well done, guys."
"It's not a smooth offense, but at least I'm seeing improvement, so keep going."
Richard also took advantage of the break to encourage several players.
Curry breathed a sigh of relief, he was actually under a lot of pressure, and as a backcourt engine, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to play well enough to take on the responsibility of the backcourt engine perfectly.
But the time he played on the field just now made him breathe a sigh of relief, although he didn't have any outstanding performance, at least he didn't get into the team.
……
After the timeout, both sides returned to the court.
Frank's tactics are still effective, and under the double attack, it becomes difficult for Durant to catch the ball, and naturally he loses the offensive momentum just now.
But before Frank could relax, the situation on the court made him frown again.
Roy's defensive intensity at this point decreased, and Curry passed the ball to Roy without saying a word.
Frank apparently ignored Roy, the former league scoring leader, and a few minutes later, Roy broke through and rushed inside, not only scoring 10 points, but also causing the number of fouls on Roy to rise to three.
Before the first quarter was played, Luo Yiban had already been fouled three times, and it was obvious that he could not continue to stay on the court, and even the second quarter may not be able to play for too long.
……
Frank sighed, the pirates are really a bit difficult to do if the east is not lit and the west is bright.
Although it is difficult to defend Durant, if he is not allowed to catch the ball, even if he has all his offensive ability, he will not be able to play offensive firepower against the sky.
But after defending Durant, Roy's defensive intensity will inevitably decline at this point, Roy is not a vegetarian, no matter how people say it, he is also a former scoring champion, and he is now at his golden peak......
It's difficult, it's quite difficult, Frank's brows are furrowed, and this inexplicable situation makes his head bigger.
If they have two strong forward defenders on their lineup, that's fine.
But now in their starting lineup, the two forward linebackers are fish belly, and they can't mix with other teams to start......
……
The two points of Durant and Roy alone are already difficult to the point that Frank can't solve.
Not only Frank himself, but he also feels that the head coaches of other teams in the league may start to have headaches.
……
Before the end of the second quarter, Frank changed the starting lineup, and there was no need for the game to continue.
The difference in strength is too obvious, and there is no chance to fight back at all.
Richard saw Frank replace the starting lineup, sighed, and was still thinking about taking advantage of the preseason opportunity to run in the starting lineup, but now it seems to be difficult......
Because the opponent collapsed too quickly, the game entered garbage time early, and the effect of running in the starting lineup in such a short time was limited.
Richard also changed to the bench lineup, with Marc Gasol, Batum, Matthews, DeRozan and Harden on the court, and a large and four small lineup came on the court to practice.
By the time the referee blew the final whistle, the difference between the two sides had been more than 30 minutes.
Unexpectedly, it was Batum who scored a game-high 24 points tonight.
Durant, who was outstanding in the first half, actually didn't make many shots tonight, playing 17 minutes, taking 9 shots and scoring 15 points.
As for Roy, he also played for a short time, scoring only 11 points.
Curry played the role of a traditional point guard tonight, playing 22 minutes and scoring five points on just four shots.
Richard saw Curry's stats and felt the need to have a good chat with Curry.
This elementary school student, who was watched by himself, seems to have deviated from his position on the court.
He even played himself like a traditional point guard......
Curry actually had a lot of opportunities to shoot in tonight's game, and with his shooting speed, even if the opponent was negligent on him for a moment, it was enough for him to shoot three points.
But apparently Curry didn't take advantage of these fleeting opportunities, which is why Richard wanted to talk to Curry.
He didn't want to ruin the strongest three-point shooter in history for his own reasons.
If Curry does move in the direction of a traditional point guard, then Richard can guarantee that Curry's future achievements may not even be as high as the Grizzlies' Conley.
……
The game was easily won, and the pirate generals were in a good mood, judging from the situation of this opening match, their pirate team still has unparalleled dominance.
Although the Nets are just a bad team, the ease with which they can win is enough to tell.
……
After the game, Richard didn't go back to the locker room, but went directly to his office and asked Curry Sr. to notify Curry to come to his office.
"Coach, are you looking for me?" Curry pushed the door open into Richard's office, feeling a little uneasy.
He didn't know what Richard's purpose was for looking for himself? Could it be that I didn't perform well enough tonight?
Richard looked at Curry's tender little face that could pinch out the water, and couldn't help but be extremely curious.
In the case of being black, Curry Bioden looks so much younger.
These two are also considered to be the same age, but Auden's appearance is said to be fifty years old, and some people believe him......
And the current Curry, if it weren't for his height here, just based on his appearance, some people would believe that he was fifteen years old.
"Ready to grow a beard?" Richard asked with a smile when he saw Curry's beard on his chin.
Curry nodded awkwardly, "Well, it's better to have a beard and look more mature......"
"Sit down, let's talk about how you did today." Richard asked Curry to sit down.
Curry sat obediently in front of Richard, waiting for Richard to speak.
"Son, what is your position for yourself?" Richard asked a question as soon as he came up.
Positioning yourself? Curry was stunned, do you need to ask?
"Point guard......" Curry replied curiously.
Richard waved his hand, "Exactly?" There are many kinds of point guards? For example, traditional point guards, such as two-way guards. ”
Curry's brows furrowed, his face a little tangled, he really hadn't thought about this kind of problem.
Because of his height, he couldn't play the quarterback position at all, if it was more than ten years ago, his height could have made do with the quarterback, but now with the increase in the average height of NBA players, the height of 191 is really a little too short to play quarterback.
He can only play point guards......
"Didn't think about it, coach, what type of point guard do you think I'm better suited for?" Curry thought for a moment and decided to listen to Richard's opinion.
"Twin Guards." Richard replied quite decisively.
"Your three-point ability, you should be quite clear, I can tell you very clearly, you will become the strongest three-point player in this league in the future, there is no one!"
"No, to be precise, the strongest three-pointer in the entire history of the NBA, there is no one!" When Richard said this, he didn't hesitate at all.
Curry was dumbfounded, he felt if Richard was crazy......
Such a big hat is buckled on his head, which is really a bit exaggerated.
Although his father has always encouraged himself, he has never said that he will become the top three-pointer in the league in the future, and he has never said that he has become the strongest three-pointer in the league or even the strongest three-pointer in history like Richard.
"Don't believe it, son, I've always seen people with a good eye." Looking at Curry's stunned appearance, Richard said with a smile.
"This kind of strong three-point shooting ability, if you have the opportunity on the court, I hope you can be decisive."
"It's not like you can't play a traditional point guard who is passing, but that's going to be a complete waste of your three-point talent!"
"Wasting is a rather shameful act, kid, you're smart and should know what to do on the pitch next!"
……
Curry obviously still hasn't recovered from the shock just now, and he still looks dumbfounded at the moment.
"Okay, think about it yourself when you go back." Richard felt that his words tonight should have some effect.
……
The second game of the Buccaneers' preseason kicks off in two days.
"Coach, I know what to do." During the warm-up session, Curry walked to Richard's side, with joy and sorrow on his face, and said to Richard.
Old Curry was on the side, he looked at Richard gratefully, he talked a lot with Curry in the past two days, and when he heard Richard's evaluation of Curry, the whole person was also stunned.
However, he didn't think much about it, thinking that this was Richard's way to motivate Curry, so he was quite grateful to Richard at the moment.
In order to motivate his son, Richard blew such a big cow, it was really difficult for Richard.
"Then I'll take a good look at your performance tonight." Richard nodded.
……
"Doot toot!" The referee blew the whistle for the start of the match.
The Pirates are a lot better than the Nets tonight, the Toronto Raptors at the goalkeeper level in the Eastern Conference playoffs.
A team at this level is enough to test the gold content of this pirate team.
