It's been a few years since Durant left the Warriors, but in the past few years, Durant doesn't seem to have stepped on the Finals stage, even if he later came to the Nets to form the Big Three, and now to the Suns to form the Big Three, it seems that the team has not become the top team in the league. When Durant was with the Nets, the team had problems of one kind or another, and now with the Suns, the Suns have not become the top team in the West. Why did Durant only succeed quickly in his career by going to the Warriors and winning a championship in his first year? What kind of logic is there? Let's analyze it today.
First of all, when Durant did not join the Warriors, Curry and Thompson had already led the Warriors to win the championship, and the Warriors' system had been fully established at that time, and Durant's joining was to make the Warriors stronger on the original basis. believes that the reason for Durant's rapid success after coming to the Warriors is ultimately because the Warriors' system and Durant are perfectly integrated.
You'll find that whether Durant joins the Nets or now the Suns, the two teams have one thing in common, which is that almost all the Big Three need to carry the ball. When Durant was in the Nets, Harden and Irving both played with the ball, and Durant also needed to attack with the ball, so even if the ability of the three people was very strong, the team became a singles team when they all needed to hold the ball. It's the same with the Suns today, Booker also needs to hold the ball, and Beal also plays with the ball. So the overall style of play of the Suns is also very single. They were flooded with constant singles throughout the match.
But in the Warriors, Curry can play both with and without the ball, but Curry played more without the ball during the years when Durant joined, while Thompson played completely without the ball. When Durant was with the Warriors, the Big Three could be said to have their own roles. Curry and Thompson's strong off-ball ability can create very easy scoring opportunities for Durant. When Durant was with the Warriors, he had a lot of open shots, and that's because Curry and Thompson were firmly pinning down the two men's defense. Durant can let go and show his individual and offensive talents.
Then there is the Warriors have a strong system, unlike the Nets and the current Suns, the Warriors' system is very complicated, Durant has been the first in the league in assists in the years when he played for the Warriors, and they have a strong running ball system. The complexity of the system allows them to calmly deal with any opponent, who is difficult to defend. The Nets and Suns, on the other hand, only need to defend the players who play in the single when they play alone, because the other opponents are standing still. That's the difference between the Warriors and the Nets and Suns. Many fans have always thought that Durant's choice to leave the Warriors was not wise, and if he didn't choose to leave, he may now have more than two championship rings in his hands. I wonder what the fans think?
