At the beginning of the second half, the Buccaneers' five-man lineup on the court became center Marc Gasol, power forward Millsap, and as for the outside three, Richard couldn't say who would play what position......

Among them, Tony Allen's position was originally relatively vague, and after he was taken by Richard, Richard had a good chat with him and asked him to focus on the defensive end.

As for the offensive end, it's not that Tony Allen can't make a shot, if there is an open opportunity, he can still try to shoot.

But although the position is ambiguous, on the offensive end, Tony Allen will definitely not be able to play point guard.

However, Roy can be qualified for the position of point guard, Huang Mamba's ball control ability is quite good, and his organizational skills are okay, after all, he can also average close to 6 assists per game at his peak.

Richard didn't care so much, everything waited to see what happened on the field.

Seeing Richard make a substitution in the second half, Pat Riley was also relieved.

If Rondo and Oden continue to be there, the Heat will really not be able to eat tonight.

However, even if Rondo and Oden were taken down, Riley was also uneasy, because the Pirates still had two big players on the court.

One is Millsap and the other is Roy, both of whom are the main players of the Pirates, although they didn't start last season, but their strength has been revealed, especially Roy, who won the honor of best rookie, which is already a good indication of his strength.

……

So far in the whole game, Xiao Jia's performance has been a little unsatisfactory, and it may be that Oden's light is too strong, and Xiao Jia has no sense of existence.

And at the beginning of the second half of the game, Xiao Jia's performance was still nothing special, at best, he could only be regarded as a reasonable rookie, and there was nothing eye-catching.

Richard also expected this scene, and it may take a long time for Xiao Jia to adjust to the pace of the game.

Millsap and Roy both performed quite well, although these two were not as perverted as Oden on the offensive end, but their long-range shots also made the Heat miserable.

Richard frowned and watched the game on the court, Millsap and Roy performed well, he could have expected it, but what he didn't expect was Sun Yue's performance.

Sun Yue's performance can't be said to be good, although he is not young, but his performance on the court seems to be very immature, and he was stolen by the opponent's point guard when he first appeared.

However, this steal did not affect the teammates' trust in Sun Yue, because Richard did not arrange a point guard candidate, and the players on the court automatically identified Sun Yue as the team's point guard.

Tony Allen doesn't have the ability to pass at all, Roy does, but he has always been a point guard and has no interest in playing point guard.

The most important thing is that Sun Yue is a Chinese, a compatriot of Richard, even if he is a fool, he should know that Sun Yue should be given a little room to perform on the field.

And because the point guard position is the position that holds the ball for the longest time, it naturally has more possibilities to play well.

Richard stood on the field, looking at Sun Yue on the field, his brows furrowed.

It can be seen that Sun Yue enjoys this feeling of playing point guard, and he works hard enough on the court, actively aligning on the defensive end, and not rashly shooting on the offensive end.

But even if he worked hard, Richard could still see the gap between Sun Yue and his teammates.

This disparity is completely visible to the naked eye......

Sun Yue is 206 cm tall, this height seems to be a tall forward line player at first glance, and it is not impossible to even play power forward, but in fact, he played the role of point guard most of the time before.

For example, last season, he played in the ABA with Beijing Aoshen, averaging 13.5 points, 10.6 assists, 6 rebounds, 2 steals and 1.9 blocks per game, and was selected for the ABA All-Star team.

From such a data, we can see Sun Yue's technical characteristics.

The first is that his defense is excellent, not to mention what level his defense is in the NBA, anyway, for Sun Yue himself, his defense is indeed his strength.

The data of averaging close to 2 steals and 2 blocks per game, even if it is played in the ABA, is not as easy as thought.

The second is good organizational skills, and the average of 10+ assists per game can fully prove it.

But looking at the average points per game and the average shooting rate per game, you can know that Sun Yue's offense is not very good, lacks stability, and the three-point shooting rate is less than 30%.

From this point of view, Sun Yue is very much like Rondo.

They are all point guard players who are outstanding in defense and organization, but lack consistency in offense.

Of course, the two points that stand out here, Sun Yue is definitely far inferior to Longdo.

The reason is simple, Sun Yue's ball control and passing ability and physical fitness are not as good as Rondo.

Rondo is only 185 centimeters tall, 21 centimeters shorter than Sun Yue, and he is not a level at all.

But in terms of strength, Sun Yue is really not as good as today's Rondo.

Speed and bounce are the strengths of Sun Yue's physical fitness, and Sun Yue's physical test data in this year's physical test session is relatively dazzling.

The round-trip run in the penalty area ranked third among the 81 newcomers, and the maximum vertical bounce was okay at 86 cm.

……

He has a good sense of passing, but his ability to control the ball is not outstanding because of his height or poor confrontation.

The speed is fast, the bounce is medium and upper, but the strength is poor, the tonnage is poor, and the defensive end can be chased and defended, and the effect is good, but it can't be hard to match.

Lack of consistency in offense.

Richard now has a general understanding of Sun Yue's technical characteristics, and there are shining points on his body, but there are also many shortcomings.

After thinking about it for less than ten minutes, Richard had already figured out Sun Yue's future growth direction.

The first direction is in the direction of the little prince Prince, and the physical fitness of the two is still contrasting.

The second direction is to go in the direction of Rondo and continue to play point guard......

……

The Heat on the court are still at a disadvantage, even if the Pirates have only one starter on Roy's lineup.

Richard thought for a moment and replaced Roy with Ingram on the bench.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the Buccaneers beat the Heat by 40 points with a score of 114-74 at home.

The Heat's preseason opening game directly suffered a big defeat, but this is also something that can't be helped, although the Buccaneers are not on the main team, but their bench lineup is left in those fish belly teams, which is already the level of the main team.

Even a person like Millsap, who has been on the garbage team, may be able to mix in the position of big boss.

Coupled with the fact that the Heat did not play tonight, it is completely understandable that they lost so badly.

The Pirate fans at the scene were excited, originally they were worried that the championship team would lose two starts, which would affect the strength of the team, but now it seems that they still underestimated Richard.

In this game, the Buccaneers rested four players, and it turned out to be quite easy to beat the opponent in this situation.

No one knows how strong the current Pirate team is, anyway, these fans are quite satisfied, and maybe the Pirates can create some miracles this season.

……

After the game, Richard didn't go to the post-game press conference, only a big win in the preseason, there was really nothing to say, Cowens took Oden and Rondo to the press conference, and Richard called Sun Yue and went to his office.

He is going to talk to Sun Yue about the future direction, whether to take Prince's route or Rondo's route, it depends on Sun Yue's own wishes, and Richard can help if he can.

As a result, Sun Yue had just sat down in Richard's office, and without waiting for Richard to speak, Paul Allen made a direct call.

Richard smiled bitterly, Paul Allen was calling at this point in time, and the reason could be figured out with Big Toe.

He must have come to ask the teacher for sin......

Oden's performance tonight is really BUGGY, he almost cut a 30+20 stat in just half time, if he plays the whole game, the hell knows what stats this thing can do.

"Paul, haven't you slept so late? You have to get some rest and pay attention to your body. Richard smiled and answered the phone.

"Can I sleep? Lee, Auden's kid is so strong, I feel like tomorrow's newspapers will definitely write about Trailblazers. Paul Allen said in a tangled way.

At the beginning, he wanted to choose Oden, but he was scared by Richard, and Richard promised Durant that he was strong, so he didn't choose Oden.

Now that he has watched Oden's preseason debut, he is in deep regret.

"Paul, tonight is just a preseason game, the lineup that the Heat played, you don't know, playing such a statistic is nothing."

"Moreover, if he really wants to go to the Trail Blazers, he may not be able to play a game in his rookie season, and you don't know that he has an injury." Richard said with a smile.

"Then how did you pirate team not get hurt? Lee, what exactly is your magic and why do you make players ignore injuries? Paul Allen on the other end of the phone asked curiously.

"Well, who knows......"

"Anyway, Durant's strength won't make you regret it, the Trail Blazers are not short of interior lines now, with Jermaine and LaMarcus, it's enough, let's cultivate Durant well."

Paul Allen nodded, Richard is not wrong in what he said, the interior line of the Trail Blazers team is enough, and it is not bad to cultivate Durant well now.

The Trail Blazers also played their first game of the preseason tonight, and although Durant's performance was certainly far inferior to Oden, it was actually not bad, playing 28 minutes and scoring 21 points.

It seems that Durant is still quite valuable in cultivation.

……

Hanging up the phone with Paul Allen, Richard set his eyes on Sun Yue.

"Tell me, which position do you kid tend to go towards?" Richard asked with a light smile.

Sun Yue looked confused, not quite understanding what Richard meant.

"It means that you want to play in what position, and I give you two options, one is the position of the swingman at the point guard, and the other is the position of the point guard, which position you prefer to play." Richard explained.

"Coach, I listen to you in everything, and I will play whichever position you ask me to play."

Sun Yue is still quite shrewd, with his own strength, he doesn't think he really has the right to choose the position, the team needs to play whatever position he wants, he can play whatever position he wants, so that he can better integrate into the team......

And he also wants to make a good impression on Richard, Richard has cultivated stars like Wang Zhizhi and Yao Ming under his hands, he doesn't want so much, as long as he can gain a firm foothold in the NBA.

And if she wants to gain a foothold in the NBA, Sun Yue feels that only one sentence from Richard may be enough.

So he wanted to make as good an impression as possible on Richard.

"Don't listen to me, the path is your own choice, in fact, I also have some headaches about your location now."

"For so many years, the Chinese men's basketball team has only one outside player like you to enter the NBA, and I also want to train you well and strive to improve the strength of the Chinese men's basketball team."

"Think about it, what position do you tend to play."

"Point guard, coach, I actually want to play point guard." As soon as Richard finished speaking, Sun Yue said his true thoughts.

"Yes, then point guard, you will be the team's third point guard in the future, usually watch more Rondo's game videos, and in daily team training, talk more about Rondo's defensive experience and passing experience." Richard showed Sun Yue a way.

"Okay, thank you, coach, I will work hard, and I will definitely not disgrace you." Sun Yue nodded solemnly.

Richard promised a position as the third point guard, which is already quite good, at least for a second-round pick, and it is good luck to be the third point guard.

The third point guard is different from the third center, the center position is more ambiguous, such as the first center or the second center is injured, and the third center will not necessarily play, and the coach may let the power forward player take the center position.

The same is true for the power forward position, which has something in common, so the average team has about four or five interior players, and rarely six.

In the case of the third point guard, the first point guard or the second point guard is injured, and the third point guard can safely get playing time.

Sun Yue also values this, whether Paul is injured or Rondo is injured, or they are rotated, he can get good playing time.

Richard nodded, he had expected Sun Yue's choice.

As the saying goes, if you have the ball in your hand, you don't panic.

The point guard is the position that holds the ball for the longest time in the team under normal circumstances, and it is normal for Sun Yue to choose the development direction of the point guard.

If you hold the ball for more time in your hand, then you can play more beautifully with natural data, and if you have beautiful data, you will naturally be able to get a big contract.

Richard glanced at Sun Yue's attributes, his attributes in all aspects are really not outstanding, and they are really not comparable to other players in the Pirates team.

Of course, compared with a more ordinary player like Ingram, Sun Yue still has some advantages in terms of physical fitness.

After thinking for a moment, Richard put the Chris Paul All-Star Light in his hand on Sun Yue.

As luck would have it, the All-Star light allowed Sun Yue to inherit Paul's ball-handling ability for three years.

Although he only inherited one attribute, it lasted for three years, and Richard was still relatively satisfied.

……

"I wasn't feeling well the other day, how are you feeling these days?" Richard asked Sun Yue.

"I found a team doctor, it was a cold, some fever, and now it is better."

"Thank you coach for your concern." Sun Yue said gratefully.

Richard nodded, it's just that he has a cold and is stupid, he is most afraid that Sun Yue will be infected with the kissing disease in advance......

This kissing disease, also known as kissing syndrome, is scientifically known as infectious mononucleosis.

Just look at the scientific name, this disease is contagious, although it is not fatal, and it is easy to cure, but players will have some symptoms such as fatigue, headache, fever, etc., which will definitely affect the player's state of play.

Under normal circumstances, Sun Yue suffered from this kind of kissing disease, and the Lakers suspended Sun Yue from the team because of this matter.

Seeing that Sun Yue was uncomfortable before, Richard was really worried that Sun Yue had suffered from kissing disease in advance, and then infected the entire pirate team and served the pirate team in one pot.

"Well, it's okay to be fine."

"Pay attention to your private life, Lao Mei is more open, don't make any negative news." Richard couldn't help but remind Sun Yue.

Young people at this age are really poor in their ability to resist temptation.

Richard was also young, and knew that young people of this age had nothing but women in their minds, that is, women, and women......

Sun Yue looked stunned again, he didn't expect Richard to care so much about himself, and even reminded himself of this kind of thing.

Although he was a little confused, Sun Yue was still very excited.

This shows that Richard values himself very much!

"Thank you, coach, I'll focus all my energy on basketball, but I'll get the coach in trouble."

Richard smiled and nodded, "Go ahead, go back and rest early." ”
