In the next few preseason games, the Pirates' new tactics stunned experts from all walks of life, and they began to analyze the Pirates' new tactics.

From a tactical perspective, it seems that there is not much difference between the Pirates and the Suns' previous fast break tactics.

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

The first is the number of three-pointers taken. Currently, the average number of three-pointers taken by each team in the league is between 15 and 20 per game. There are only a handful of teams that can average 20 three-pointers per game.

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

And this is because the main lineup has not been on the court for a long time. If the regular season or playoffs start, experts believe that this number may increase, maybe to more than 35 times!

This is quite terrifying. This terrifying three-point shot frequency is twice that of other teams!

In addition to the terrifying number of three-pointers, the Pirates have also completely abandoned their previous inside-centered style of play.

Although Jordan has played a lot of time in these preseason games, his scoring average is only a pitiful 5 points per game. Even in the regular season, experts feel that it is difficult for Jordan to average more than 10 points per game...

And looking at the Suns' seven-second fast break, their insiders actually play a very important role in the offense.

This is almost a completely new way of playing, and many experts have also put forward their own opinions.

Some experts feel that the Pirates' style of play is too risky and radical. With such a high frequency of three-pointers, if the accuracy is not enough, they can shoot themselves to death.

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

Because the advantages of this tactical system are really great, especially for those weak teams, after using this tactical system, if they feel good, they may be able to accomplish the following feat.

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

Some experts hold a wait-and-see attitude. They are currently unable to make an objective judgment on this rather extreme tactical system. They can only wait for the regular season to test the gold content of this tactical system.

Richard also noticed the comments from experts from all sides, but he didn't take them to heart.

History has proven the advancement of small ball tactics, so no matter what these experts say, Richard will definitely insist on implementing small ball tactics.

Moreover, in this league right now, Richard feels that the only team that is truly suitable for small ball tactics is their Pirates.

If other teams want to imitate the Buccaneers' tactics, it is purely an imitation, because they do not have a lineup like the Buccaneers.

Maybe by then painting a tiger will not be like a dog, and will have the opposite effect.

But one expert is right. This tactic will usher in a new era. Perhaps within a few years, the value of center players will begin to decline, and the value of top 3D players will begin to soar.

In this era, the value of 3D players is actually good, but it is definitely not as valuable as in later generations.

After six preseason games, the Pirates will usher in their regular season opener on October 16.

The opponent is Green Kai, and the league has arranged a very strong opponent for the Pirates.

Speaking of which, Green Kai is actually quite sad. It happened to coincide with the strong period of the Buccaneers. As a result, the Big Three failed to win the championship after joining forces, and even head coach Rivers was fired.

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

In terms of coaching, Danny Ainge is not very strong, and he is more suitable to serve as the team's management.

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-pointer. Although some people do not admit that he is the strongest three-pointer in history, but purely based on three-point shooting percentage and number of hits, he is still qualified to sit in this position.

Curry is naturally quite excited to face off against such a three-pointer.

The most important thing is that Green Kai is strong enough to withstand the Pirates' torment and is unlikely to be defeated by the Pirates in the first quarter. In this way, these starting players can get more playing time.

After these six preseason games, the Pirates' starting players are all quite frustrated. It's not because their performance is not good, but because their opponents are too impatient. From time to time, they will collapse in the first quarter or halftime. collapse……

"Beep!" The referee blew the whistle to start the game.

When the Buccaneers had the ball in their opening possession, Curry quickly dribbled the ball toward the frontcourt. As soon as he reached the frontcourt, he was still one step away from the three-point line. The ball was already in his hands.

"Uh-huh!"

The basketball seemed to be equipped with a guidance system and entered the net hollowly.

It can be seen that Curry's desire to attack today is quite strong. The duel with a top three-point shooter like Ray Allen made Curry very energetic.

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

Next, Curry and Durant made a pick-and-roll. After Durant finished the pick-and-roll, he started to move down directly, attracting the opponent's defensive attention. Curry also took advantage of this opportunity and threw another one. Three points.

"Whoa!" Another three-pointer.

The Pirates fans at the scene cheered loudly. In these preseason games, they were completely impressed by Curry's three-pointers.

Although Curry last season was also extremely good at three-pointers, at that time Curry was just a rookie coming off the bench.

There are not many chances to appear, not many chances to take action, and the shots are not as decisive as they are now.

Curry last season was more like his younger brother when he was playing in the league. Although he was also good at three-point shooting, not many people paid attention to him.

This season is obviously different. As the starting point guard of the Pirates, he can naturally attract the attention of countless fans.

Coupled with the extremely accurate three-pointers these days, Curry's popularity has increased exponentially.

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

The two sides competed for four consecutive three-pointers in the opening game, and all of them hit.

The two sides seemed to be getting angry, and then Ray Allen took charge of defending Curry.

After several offensive rounds, Ray Allen didn't take any advantage, and even had a disadvantage.

Curry made 4 of 6 three-pointers, while Ray Allen made 4 of 7. The fans at the scene were delighted by the super high three-point shooting rate at the beginning.

The head coaches of both sides have no intention of calling a timeout. Obviously they are very satisfied with the current situation.

In the second half of the first quarter, the two men's touch began to cool down.

Ray Allen is an experienced veteran, and he doesn't want to cause Green Kai to collapse in the first quarter because of his paranoia.

If you want to talk about which team in the East the Greencaps want to win the most, it is undoubtedly the Pirates...

The most important thing is that this season may be the last chance for the Big Three of Green Kai to join forces to compete for the championship. If they still fail to win the championship this season, then they may have no chance in the future.

There is at least a slight chance that Green Kai will give up on them and then embark on the road of reconstruction.

As for Curry, he also did not continue to shoot three-pointers crazily. In the head-to-head confrontation with Ray Allen, he has proven that his three-point firepower is no worse than Ray Allen. This is enough.

Then Durant began to take over the game, hitting a series of pull-up shots, and Pierce had a tangled look on his face.

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

By the end of the first quarter, although Lu Kai did not collapse, the point difference was about to break ten.

This made Danny Ainge let out a long sigh.

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

The Green Kai 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.

Under this situation, Danny Ainge feels that their Green Kai team may have a chance to hit the championship.

As long as they can get past the Pirates, as long as they can reach the finals, their chances of Green Kai winning the championship are at least 50-50.

But after the first quarter of the game, Danny Ainge poured a bucket of icy cold water on him.

The Buccaneers haven't gotten any weaker and are still as difficult to deal with.

Even with this ultra-fast-paced style of play, compared to last season, they still have to restrain Green Kai.

The three old men are quite old. This high-intensity and fast-paced style of play consumes a lot of physical energy.

Not to mention anything else, just on the defensive end, in order to defend the Pirates' crazy off-the-ball movements, the Big Three of Green Kai require a considerable amount of physical exertion.

Richard had never thought that Lukai could beat him, so he was quite relaxed at the moment and enjoying the game to his heart's content.

Curry's three-pointers can be said to be crazy to the extreme. From time to time, he would play tricks and hit two three-pointers, which made Lu Kai very anxious.

The defense is too difficult. Even if Curry is relaxed for half a second, Curry can seize this moment to shoot a three-pointer.

If there was only one Curry, it would be okay to say that the key point is that Durant and Roy are quite difficult to deal with now.

Durant's unreasonable shooting and Roy's explosive breakthrough are both considered to be the top level in the league today...

"Beep!" The referee blew the whistle to end the game.

The three old men of Green Kai tried their best, but they were still easily slaughtered by the Pirates in this game.

The victory was won by a 21-point margin, which was definitely considered a big victory, and it was a good start for the new Pirates team in the new season.

Curry made a crazy 8 of 15 three-pointers in the game. Although the shooting rate dropped a lot after the crazy early stage, in the end, the game also achieved a three-point shooting rate of more than 50%.

The three-point shooting percentage is high, which is actually not terrible.

The scary thing is that he shoots a lot and has a high hit rate...

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

And these thirty points were recorded in only 19 shots, and the offensive efficiency was frighteningly high.

Durant continued his steady performance tonight, making 11 of 17 two-pointers, 1 of 3 three-pointers, and 3 of 4 free throws, 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 do not have, which is the ability to break through and draw fouls.

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

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

When a team has three players scoring 20+ points with good efficiency in a game, then the game is basically a sure win.

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

As for the remaining two starters, Milicic and DeAndre Jordan, they did not perform much on the offensive end tonight.

Jordan only scored two points, and he also got free throws. 2 of 4 free throws were a bit of a pitfall...

But in other aspects, Jordan's performance is enough to be called outstanding.

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

Milicic acted as the core organizer of the team tonight. He scored 8 points, 10 rebounds, 13 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. There was nothing wrong with his personal performance.

The reason why Milicic scores so little is that he does not have a strong desire to attack right now...

Secondly, Garnett's defense was quite good tonight. If Milicic is forced to take a shot, his scoring efficiency will definitely be very low.

An astonishing victory announced that the Pirates were still invincible. Even though three players were missing from the starting lineup, the Pirates were still a team capable of dominating the league.

"Dear audience friends, this game is over. We have seen that the Pirates are still so strong. I am afraid Pirates fans can rest assured now. The Pirates are still the number one favorite to win this season."

"Okay, Coach Zhang, let us comment on the performance of Buccaneers point guard Stephen Curry tonight." During the CCTV live broadcast, the commentator smiled at Zhang Weiping beside him.

"I know this young man. I have known this young man since he was a child. I knew at that time that this young man would become something great in the future!"

"As you saw today, when he faced off against Ray Allen, he didn't lose at all. He hit 8 three-pointers in the game. It was amazing!"

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

Hearing Zhang Weiping give Curry such a high evaluation, the commentator on the side smiled and said, "Yes, this newcomer does seem to have a bright future, but some of his shots are a bit unreasonable and seem quite hasty. I I think if he could change this, his achievements would be even higher.”

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

"His actions are actually quite reasonable every time. If they are really unreasonable, Richard will not just sit idly by."

"I think this may be the reason why Richard likes this kid." Zhang Weiping said with a smile.

After the next few games were played, the Pirates performed very well. Except for one game where the backcourt trio all felt upset and the team only narrowly won by one point, the rest of the games were all fairly won. Effortlessly beautiful.
