A day later, Game 2 of the Buccaneers' preseason began.

The opponent is the Milwaukee Bucks......

The Bucks management is now in the bowels of remorse, and after watching Oden's performance in the preseason opener, they feel like crying.

If this draft pick hadn't been traded to Richard, they would have been able to get a buggy center like Oden by now.

Bogut has a good strength, and last season he played almost 12+9 data, which is a lot better than the data of his rookie season, and this season may be able to improve the data even further.

This is also the reason why Bogut was not included in the queue of parallel trade champions, although he is far inferior to those top champions, but he still has a good peak.

But although it is not a parallel import, it is afraid of comparing goods, and compared with Auden, Bogut is really a little worthless.

In tonight's game, Bucks management regretted selling the first-round pick to Richard.

Although Oden did not play the kind of explosive performance in the opening game, he played less than 30 minutes, and the statistics of 18 points, 12 rebounds and 3 blocks were far better than Bogut.

Bogut on the field is completely suppressed, although he also relied on his strong defense and did not let Oden break out, but the ability and potential shown by the two are not at the same level at all.

You must know that Bogut has entered the league for his third season, and it is really hard to imagine what a terrifying strength Oden will be in two years.

Auden didn't break out much tonight, but Roy on the Buccaneers' side did.

Tonight, Roy was like Kobe Bryant's possession, with a strong desire to attack, and he made 27 crazy shots in the game, scoring 36 points, and beat Reed in a head-to-head showdown with Reed.

It's a big deal, Reed isn't the league's top quarterback, but he's a veteran star.

Roy, a sophomore, was able to beat Reed in a head-to-head matchup, which was really amazing.

Richard didn't feel anything surprised, Roy himself has this ability, and his overall strength is indeed stronger than Reed.

Reed's ability is a bit biased because of the limitations of his physical fitness, but Roy is a real all-round and can shoot suddenly, otherwise, he would not have the nickname of Yellow Mamba.

Kobe Bryant must be the league's No. 1 quarterback at the moment, because of his nickname of Black Mamba, many people have nicknamed Mamba.

Yellow Mamba, White Mamba, Remamba ......

Presumably, when this season's main game begins, Huang Mambaroi will really enter the fans' field of vision and become one of the strongest quarterbacks in the league today.

Players like Roy, in fact, no matter what kind of performance they played, Richard was at best happy, not surprised, after all, these were quite well-known players in their previous lives.

What Richard really paid attention to was Sun Yue's performance on the field.

Although the Bucks did not rotate the main team today, they did not let the main team play for too long, and after the Pirates led by 12 points at halftime, Richard replaced Rondo and replaced Sun Yuelai as the point guard on the court.

After inheriting Paul's ninety percent ball-handling ability, Richard can clearly feel that Sun Yue's ball-handling ability has improved greatly.

In the opening game, Sun Yue's ball control was tackled twice, which was quite embarrassing.

There was no such embarrassing situation today, and Sun Yue did his job well.

His job is to dribble the ball from the back to the front and pass it to Roy or Millsap.

As for Oden, who gave the ball to the inside, Sun Yue is not confident enough to this point at the moment.

The difficulty of the high lob pass is arguably the highest of the passes, and a mistake that can reach the hands of the opponent's center forward is definitely quite a fatal mistake.

Sun Yue is also self-aware, so he won't touch such a high-end thing for the time being......

He knows very well that he can do nothing, but he must not make too many fatal mistakes on the field.

If there are too many fatal mistakes, even if Richard cares about himself, it is certainly impossible to reuse himself regardless of the feelings of all the players and fans!

Now he just doesn't seek merit, but seeks no fault, first stabilize his position as the third point guard.

With Paul's ability to control the ball, from the back court to the front court and then divide the ball, he is running, looking for opportunities to shoot or cut in the air, this is not a difficult thing, at least Sun Yue on the field has done a good job.

Richard was quite satisfied with Sun Yue's steady performance, he was most worried that Sun Yue would rely on his identity as his compatriot, and then make a mess of the team and make a mess.

Now there is no need to worry about this, Sun Yue still knows it in his heart, although he doesn't communicate much with his teammates, but when he sees everyone, he nods and smiles, and his teammates don't have any bad feelings towards him.

"Rajan, when you're usually fine, teach Sun Yue more experience."

"Especially with the experience of lobbing the ball, you should be able to see that this kid's passing is still almost hot." Richard patted Rondo on the shoulder beside him and commanded.

Rondo nodded, "Don't worry, coach, I'll take good care of him in the coming days." ”

"What do you think of your lack of interest this season? Still struggling with the starting position? Richard asked with a smile.

Rondo nodded, he is a real person, he doesn't do those things that are empty-headed, which is why he often has conflicts with his teammates or the coaching staff.

"Don't worry, I'll give you a consistent start next season."

"Don't think so much this season, first help the Pirates win the championship, and then help me cultivate Sun Yue well." Richard said with a smile.

Rondo was stunned and looked at Richard in disbelief.

Listening to Richard, is it possible that the team will trade Chris Paul next season?!

Rondo always thought Paul would be the one to renew his contract, and he might be traded for chips after three seasons with the Buccaneers.

But now Richard's words surprised him that Richard had no plans to renew Paul's contract.

Without Paul, he would be a proper starting point guard.

It's normal to think about it, after the end of this season, it's time for Paul to have a team option, and it's not impossible for Richard to have plans to sell Paul.

Richard's decision to sell Paul after this season was not a whim, but something that had been planned for a long time.

Paul's data is too good, and it is precisely because the data is so good and dazzling that Richard has to sell Paul.

Such a Paul, if the rookie contract ends, a proper salary cap will have to be placed in front of him.

It's not that Richard is reluctant to give Paul a top salary, if there is no outstanding point guard in the draft in the next few years, Richard will definitely not hesitate to give Paul a top salary.

Now the key is that '08 and '09 were simply the era of super point guards, and there were many super point guards, and Richard definitely preferred to use cheap rookie point guards.

Rose and Wei Shao in 08, Harden and Curry in 09, these four people have removed Wei Shao, and Richard can replace Paul with just one.

The reason why Wei Shao can't replace Paul's role is because Wei Shao's offensive efficiency is too bad, although there are still some bright games, but on the whole, Wei Shao's offensive efficiency is so low that it is outrageous.

In Richard's view, a good point guard, either you have a strong offensive ability, so that even if your playmaking ability is poor, you can make up for it with your offensive firepower.

Or you're like Rondo and take the initiative to reduce the number of shots you take......

The offense is inefficient, and then you go crazy all the time, and this kind of behavior is irresponsible to no one.

So Richard is not very interested in Wei Shao, he would rather use Rondo all the time than get Wei Shao in his hands.

……

Although the style of these people is completely different from Paul, Richard can also watch the food and actively adjust his tactics.

……

"Don't tell Paul about this, can you keep it a secret?" Richard glared at Rondo.

If it weren't for Rondo's sullen appearance all day long, Richard would definitely not have told Rondo the news.

"I'm sure I won't say it." Rondo was happy, and after this season, he was on the rise.

As for whether Richard will trade him until next season, Rondo also thought of this possibility.

But even if he trades himself, Rondo doesn't feel like anything, he won the championship last season, he won the championship this season, and he won the championship as the starting point guard next season, and he is the dynasty point guard!

That's a dynasty point guard, and in his own capacity, he must not be a big boss in any team!

At least that's what Rondo thinks now, he feels that if he really becomes a dynasty point guard, then any team will definitely be a big boss-level existence.

He even has some expectations that he will be traded after the end of next season......

Although the Pirates team is good, there are too many powerful bosses in the team, and Rondo can't find a sense of superiority at all.

……

On Oct. 15, the Buccaneers finished all six preseason games.

With a 6-0 record, it looks glamorous and has excited fans, and it looks like the Pirates are in good shape, and the preseason has proven that the Pirates are still the favorites to win the championship.

Richard, on the other hand, has no special feelings about this all-winning preseason record, the opponents are all weak chickens in the East, and there is really no sense of accomplishment when he wins.

……

In two days, the Buccaneers will compete in the league's scheduled regular season opener.

The teams that qualify for the opening game are among the strongest or most popular teams in the league.

Apparently, the Charlotte Pirates are now one of the brightest teams in the league.

The opponent is the Orlando Magic, and with the strength of the Magic, they are not qualified to play the opening game against the defending champions.

However, this offseason, the Magic brought in a West Lafayette player, resulting in them being seen as one of the Eastern teams that could challenge the Buccaneers.

The West Lafayette player is none other than Rashad Lewis.

Under normal circumstances, Rashad Lewis joined the Magic this offseason, and then the Magic reached the Finals after two years of running-in, which was also the highlight of Howard's career.

However, Lewis joining the Magic, under normal circumstances, is actually not a big deal, because this offseason there was arguably the top three blockbuster trade in the entire NBA history.

That is, the transaction where the Big Three of Green Kai gathered, and Green Kai got Garnett and Ray Allen to form the Big Three......

However, now because of Richard, Green Kai did not make this trade in the offseason.

Their lineup is not bad, and Rivers must be thinking of using this lineup to play first......

Richard also didn't expect that his several supports for Green Kai would cause the Big Three of Green Kai to fail to get together.

However, this is only temporary, in case Green Kai's record is not good after the start of the game, maybe this deal will continue to go on normally.

Now that Green Kai has a lot of chips on hand, it may be easier to trade Garnett and Ray Allen.

Richard is not worried about the gathering of the Green Kai Triumvirate, no matter how strong they are, they will definitely not be the opponent of the current heyday pirate team.
