In the interview before the All-Star break, when asked who had the best tacit understanding with Curry, Wei Shao, and Irving, Durant replied after careful consideration: "Wei Shao." He explained that he and Wei Shao stepped on the basketball court together at the age of 19 and experienced nine years of NBA career together. During this long time, they have grown together, faced challenges together, and achieved together.
Playing with Curry has also been good," Durant added, "but the chemistry with Willis is deeper. We share a special connection, an indescribable understanding and trust that has been formed through long periods of fighting side by side. ”
Durant's words were full of respect and appreciation for Wei Shao. He highlighted the contribution of the two to the tacit understanding over a long period of time, and suggested that this understanding was one of the key factors in their success. And although the cooperation with Curry was also successful, it did not seem to have reached the same level of tacit understanding as Wei Shao.
When describing the tacit understanding with Wei Shao, Durant used a contrasting technique to highlight that the tacit understanding between him and Wei Shao was unique by emphasizing that he played well with Curry. This expression not only shows Durant's humility and honesty, but also shows his high emotional intelligence and professionalism in the face of **.
