Understand Harden, be Harden!Durant blasted 27 10 16, and the most painful were Zhan Huang and the Lakers
On the 28th Beijing time, Durant completed the greatest score in the history of the league with an ultra-high efficiency of 27+10+16. Durant was awakened by this sentence, in the finals at the end of last year, he was really drunk and lost to Doncic, and he was still in a dream, in a very bad state, everyone was scolding him, saying that he was not qualified to stay in the rising sun at all, wasted so much energy, and did not play at the level he should have. Many people can feel that Durant is very dissatisfied with his teammates, especially Beal, a guy who is often injured, which makes him very depressed.
But that's not the case, Durant is full of confidence in his players, since the last time he was reprimanded, KD seems to have been woken up, this time, he has also followed the example of Harden and turned into a good ball handler. Some people also say that he learned from James, but he is different from James Huang, Durant does not bring all the ball in front of the opponent, and he does not have a breakthrough like James, he is more of Harden's shooting outside the three-point line, and when he should shoot, he will not hesitate to shoot three points, which is completely different from the pure point guard of Zhan Huang. On the contrary, Harden, he is very careful when shooting, and he will never shoot unless he has to. The same goes for Booker, just like the Clippers have George, who will also give up his place to someone else, and from that perspective, Durant and Harden are both very good ball-handling cores, and both are well-rounded.
Durant scored his first triple-double in the game, not just because of his performance, but more importantly, because he has begun to focus on his defense. His performance on the back line is admirable, the overall strength of the Suns is not strong, to be precise, their defense is really bad, KD must lead by example and lead everyone to defend together. Otherwise, all three of them are top-notch, and they all take the ball by themselves, don't you go to be a defender and take a risk with a salary of two million?Inexistent. So Durant became more cautious in this game, and he even began to use his body to affect the opponent's attack, not only to demonstrate with his own body, but more importantly, he wanted to use his physical fitness on himself. It wasn't until the fourth quarter that he finally scored seven points.
Durant had a great performance in this game, scoring points, grabbing rebounds, delivering assists, and hitting the decisive shot. With two game-high stats of 27 points, 10 rebounds and 16 assists, he's not as tired as he used to be, and he's no longer shooting the most on the team. He mocked Harden for understanding why Harden became Harden, and Durant was the embodiment of Harden. He kind of understood that at the beginning, he couldn't always use sticks and people to fight alone, which would hit everyone's morale. Just like Harden, he gave his players bombs at the beginning, and after they had eaten and drunk enough, they shot again, and shot at the most dangerous time. If that's not the case, how can a bunch of low-paid players work for you?In this game, the Suns have three 20+, 5 of which are more than two, and this is not a team game yetIf I had beaten him like this earlier, he wouldn't have been scolded, would he?
Durant also got a very key statistic, 16 assists, tied the league record, but he only made three mistakes, as he gets older, if you want the Suns to win a championship, you have to do this, after all, the two have to be separated after all, if they do the team's work, it will be really difficult. Durant's performance also broke all the rumors, they proposed 6 for 1 before, in exchange for Zhan Huang, it is no longer possible, he has made his own decision for Phoenix, if he really wants to leave, it is better to stay in Phoenix, but now, he has changed his mind, proving that he wants to make this team stronger, not leave.
