In the next few preseason games, the new tactics of the Pirates stunned various experts, and they began to analyze the new tactics of the Pirates.

In terms of tactical style, it seems that the Pirates are not much different from the Suns' previous fast-break tactics.

But if you look closely, the difference is quite large!

The first is the number of three-point shots, and the average number of three-point shots per game of teams in the league is about 15-20 at present, and there are only a handful of teams that can reach an average of 20 three-point shots per game.

But the Pirates played in these six preseason games, and averaged 29 three-pointers per game!

And this is still the main team has not been on the field for a long time, if the regular season or playoffs start, this number may be improved in the opinion of experts, maybe more than 35 times!

That's pretty scary, and this kind of terrifying three-point shooting is twice as frequent as other teams!

In addition to the terrifying number of three-point shots, the Buccaneers are now completely abandoning the previous inside-centered play.

Although Jordan Jr. has played a lot of time in these preseason games, his average score per game is only a pitiful 5 points, and even in the regular season, experts feel that Jordan Jr.'s average points per game are difficult to exceed 10 points......

Looking at the seven-second fast break Suns, their interior 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 opinions.

Some experts feel that the Pirates are too risky and aggressive in this style of play, and with such a high frequency of three-point shots, they can shoot themselves if they are not accurate enough.

Some experts feel that Richard's new tactics have simply created an era, and this may lead the trend and make more and more teams begin to imitate this tactical system.

Because the advantages of this tactical system are too great, especially for those teams with fish belly, after using this tactical system, if they feel good, they may be able to accomplish the following feats.

In the era of small ball, there are still quite a lot of upset games.

There are also experts who have a wait-and-see attitude, and they can't make an objective judgment on this rather extreme tactical system at the moment, so they can only wait for the regular season to test the gold content of this tactical system.

……

Richard also paid attention to the comments of experts from all sides, but did not take it to heart.

History has proven that small-ball tactics are advanced, so no matter what these experts say, Richard will definitely stick to small-ball tactics.

And, in this league at the moment, the team that is really suitable for playing small-ball tactics, Richard feels that they are only one of the Pirates.

Other teams that want to emulate the Pirates' tactics are simply following suit, because they don't have a lineup like the Pirates at hand.

Maybe when the time comes, the tiger will not become an anti-dog, and it will be counterproductive.

However, one expert is right, this tactic will usher in a new era, and perhaps 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 this day and age, the value of 3D players is actually good, but it is certainly not as valuable as in later generations.

……

After six preseason games, the Buccaneers have 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 Green Kai, it is actually sad enough, it happened to coincide with the strong period of the Pirates, and the Big Three failed to win the championship after joining forces, and even head coach Rivers was fired.

Danny Angie is now leading the Green Kai team, but this is only temporary, and Richard has heard that the Green Kai has been looking for a suitable head coach.

In terms of coaching, Danny Angie is not very strong, and he is more suitable to be the management of the team.

……

The game hasn't started yet, but Curry is quite excited, because the Green Kai team has a top three-point shooter like Ray Allen.

Ray Allen is recognized as a historical three-point player, although some people do not recognize him as the best three-point player in history at the moment, but purely looking at the three-point shooting percentage and the number of shots, he is still qualified to sit in this position.

Playing against such a three-point player, Curry is naturally quite excited.

The most important thing is that Green Kai is strong enough to afford the toss of the Pirates, and it is unlikely that he will be defeated by the Pirates in the first quarter, so that these starters can get more playing time.

……

After these six preseason games, the starting players of the Pirates are quite aggrieved, not because of their poor performance, but because the opponent is too impatient, and from time to time there will be a first-quarter collapse or half-time collapse......

……

"Doot toot!" The referee blows the whistle for the start of the game.

The opening ball of the Pirates, Curry rushed towards the front court with the ball at high speed, and as soon as he arrived in the frontcourt, he was still a step away from the three-point line, and the ball in his hand was already a shot.

"Huh!"

The basketball is hollowed into the net as if it were equipped with a guidance system.

It can be seen that Curry's desire to attack today is quite strong, and the matchup with a top three-pointer like Ray Allen has made Curry feel like a twelve-point spirit.

But soon Ray Allen turned his head and directly returned a three-pointer, and the two sides tied at the beginning.

……

Next, Curry and Durant made a block, and after Durant finished the blocking, he directly began to go down, attracting the opponent's defensive attention, and Curry also took advantage of this opportunity to throw another three-pointer.

"Huh!" Another three-pointer.

The Pirate fans at the scene applauded, and in these preseason games, they were completely impressed by Curry's three points.

Last season's Curry, although he was also extremely good at three-pointers, was only a small rookie off the bench at that time.

There are not many opportunities to appear, there are not many opportunities to make a shot, and the shot is not as decisive as it is now.

Last season, Curry was more like his younger brother when he played in the league, although the three-point shot was also very good, but not much attention was paid to it.

And this season is obviously different, as the starting master of the Pirates team, he can naturally attract the attention of countless fans.

Coupled with the extremely accurate three-point shooting these days, Curry's popularity has grown exponentially.

……

Seeing Curry hit two three-pointers in a row, Ray Allen seemed to be interested, and in Green Kai's second offensive round, he came with another three-pointer, fortunately, the ball was also hit.

In the opening game, the two sides flew four three-pointers in a row, and the results hit all of them.

The two sides seemed to be on fire, and then Ray Allen began to take charge of the defense against Curry.

After a few offensive rounds, Lei Allen didn't take advantage of anything, and even had a disadvantage.

Curry was 4-of-6 from three-point range, and Ray Allen was 4-of-7 from the field, and this super high three-point shooting rate at the beginning of the game feasted the eyes of the fans.

Neither manager has any intention of calling a timeout, and it is clear that they are happy with the situation at the moment.

……

In the second half of the first quarter, the two began to cool down.

Ray Allen is a seasoned veteran, and he doesn't want his paranoia to cause Green Kai to collapse in the first quarter.

If you want to talk about the Eastern side, which team Green Kai wants to win the most, it is undoubtedly the Pirates......

The most important thing is that this season may be the last chance for the Green Kai triumvirate to join forces to compete for the championship, if they still can't win the championship this season, then they may have no chance in the future.

There is at least a chance that Green Kai will abandon them and start on the road of rebuilding.

As for Curry, he also did not continue to shoot three points like crazy, and in the head-to-head matchup with Ray Allen, he has already proved his three-point firepower, which is no worse than Ray Allen, which is enough.

Then Durant began to take over the game, hitting a series of dry shots, and Pierce was full of confusion when he shot.

Roy's breakthrough at this point also gave Green Kai a headache.

By the end of the first quarter of the game, although Green Kai did not collapse, the score difference was about to break ten.

This caused Danny Angie to let out a long sigh.

Originally, he had a lot of confidence in competing for the championship this season, after all, the Buccaneers sent away three starters, and the lineup changes were quite huge.

The lineup of Green Kai is exactly the same as last season, although the age of the Big Three is one year older, but the overall strength of the team has not been greatly affected.

In this case, Danny Angie feels that they may have a chance to challenge for the championship.

As long as they can pass the level of the Pirates and reach the finals, then their chances of winning the championship are at least five or five.

But after the first quarter of the game, it poured a basin of cold water on Danny Anji.

The pirates aren't getting weaker, they're still so tough to deal with.

Even this kind of ultra-fast-paced style of play has to restrain them from Green Kai compared to last season.

The three old men are not young, and this kind of high-intensity and fast-paced play consumes a lot of physical energy.

Not to mention anything else, on the defensive end alone, in order to defend the Buccaneers' crazy off-ball running, it will require considerable physical exertion on the Green Kai Triumvirate.

……

Richard never thought that Green Kai could win against him, so he was quite relaxed at the moment and enjoyed the game to the fullest.

Curry's three-point shooting can be said to be crazy to the limit, and from time to time he takes two three-pointers, which makes Green Kai anxious.

It's too difficult to defend, even if it's just half a second of slackness against Curry, Curry can seize this moment to shoot a three-pointer.

If there is only one Curry, then it is good to say, the key is that Durant and Roy are also quite difficult to deal with now.

Durant's unreasonable projection and Roy's explosive breakthrough are among the top in the league today......

……

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

The three old men of Green Kai had already tried their best, but this game was still easily slaughtered by the pirates.

The 21-point margin of victory was definitely a big win, and the new Buccaneers got off to a good start to the new season.

Curry shot 8 of 15 three-pointers in the whole game, although the shooting rate dropped a lot after the madness in the early days, but in the end, the game also hit more than 50% three-point shooting rate.

The three-point shooting percentage is high, but it's not terrible.

The scary thing is that there are so many shots and a high hit rate......

With 8-of-15 three-pointers, 1-of-4 two-pointers and 4-of-4 free throws, Curry scored 30 points tonight!

And these 30 points were recorded, only 19 shots were consumed, and the offensive efficiency was terrifying.

Durant continued his solid performance tonight, shooting 11-of-17 from two-point range, 1-of-3 from three-point range, and 3-of-4 from the free-throw line, scoring 28 points in an understatement.

Roy's offensive efficiency is not as high as these two, but Roy has an advantage that these two people don't have, that is, the ability to break through and make fouls.

In this game, the Green Kai center failed to hold out until the end of the game, and left the court with six fouls, and Roy scored 10 free throws alone tonight.

With 5-of-13 two-pointers, 2-of-4 three-pointers and 8-of-10 free throws, Roy also scored 24 points.

When a team has three players who score 20+ points with decent efficiency, it's basically a game that is nine out of ten.

The starting five, Curry, Durant and Roy, scored an astonishing 82 points!

As for the remaining two starters, Milicic and Jordan Jr., they didn't have much performance on the offensive end tonight.

Jordan Jr. only scored two points, and he got free throws, and the free throws of 2 of 4 were a bit pitiful......

But in other aspects, Jordan Jr.'s performance is good enough.

The statistics of 2 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 blocks and 1 steal are completely reasonable for a blue-collar center.

Milicic played the role of the team's organizational core tonight, with 8 points, 10 rebounds, 13 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, and he couldn't find any fault with his personal performance.

The reason why Milicic has scored few points is that he does not have too strong an attacking desire at the moment......

Secondly, Garnett's defense tonight is also quite in place, and if Milicic forces a shot, the scoring efficiency will definitely be low.

……

A stunning victory announced that the Buccaneers were still so invincible, even if the starting lineup lost three players, the Buccaneers were still a team that could dominate the league.

……

"Dear spectators, this game is over, we see that the Pirates are still so strong, and the Pirates fans can rest assured now, the Pirates are still the number one favorite to win the championship this season."

"Okay, Director Zhang, let's comment on the performance of Pirates point guard Stephen Curry tonight." During the CCTV live broadcast, the commentator smiled at Zhang Weiping beside him.

"I knew this young man, I knew this kid when he was a child, and I knew that this kid would be great in the future!"

"As a result, you saw today that he did not fall behind in the process of playing against Ray Allen, and hit 8 three-pointers in the whole game, which is simply amazing!"

"If nothing else, he may take over Ray Allen's class and become the strongest three-point shooter in the league, and may even surpass Ray Allen!"

Hearing that Zhang Weiping gave Curry such a high evaluation, the commentator on the side smiled and accosted, "That's right, this newcomer does seem to have a promising future, but some of his shots are a little unreasonable and seem quite hasty, I think if he can change this, his achievements will be higher." ”

Unexpectedly, Zhang Weiping on the side shook his head directly, obviously disagreeing with the commentator's point of view.

"His shots are actually quite reasonable every time, and if they are really unreasonable, Richard will not sit idly by."

"I think that's probably why Richard took a fancy to this kid." Zhang Weiping said with a smile.

……

After the next few games, the Pirates performed quite well, except for one of which the backcourt trio all had an upset, resulting in the team only winning by one point, the rest of the games were won quite easily and beautifully.
