As a well-developed business alliance, NBA has been making stars. When the time has entered the 20th century 10, the stars in the 1990s, such as Kobe Bryant, are old, and the stars around the' 03 Platinum Generation, represented by James, are about to usher in their own era. At this time, the league must take a long-term view, and they must prepare the next card for the post-James NBA.
It was at this time that Durant became the first person they aimed at. Durant played only three or four seasons in the league at that time, but he has shown many attributes of the future super giant. Excellent physical talent, super scoring ability, and of course, the most important thing is that he is very popular. In addition, it seems only a matter of time before Thunder, a talented player, wins the championship. Personal ability, team record and fan popularity have always been the standards of the league's top cards. As a result, during the period around 10, many people thought that Durant would take over the banner of James and become the next champion in the league.
However, many stories are destined to guess the beginning but not the end. 12, Durant successfully brought the Thunder team to the stage of the finals as expected. And what needs to be mentioned here is that before the finals began, more people supported Thunder. However, perhaps because of his youth, or perhaps because Durant was really incompetent, the Thunder team was swept by the Heat gentleman led by James in the finals.
At that time, although the finals were lost, many people still had infinite hope for Durant's Thunder team. After all, they are still young. But 12, the management of the thunder team laid a great hidden danger for the later development. They traded away the best sixth man, james harden. Then 14 of the western conference finals, Ibaka's closed comeback made his direct state drop sharply.
When the Thunder team appeared in the Western Conference finals again, it was two years later. This summer, Durant, Shao Wei and Ibaka once again appeared on the floor of the Western Union with this Thunder team that had been highly anticipated by countless people. They once pushed the 73-win warriors to the wall, but they were reversed by 3:/kloc-0.
This defeat may have polished Durant's fighting spirit and self-esteem. This summer, he joined the Golden State Warriors who just eliminated them in the West. Then there are two championships and two FMVP. However, although Durant won the championship, many people scoffed at his defection.
Durant is overrated for the following reasons:
First, physical problems make it difficult for Durant to fight particularly hard. Durant is a super scorer, but he is not a man who can fight particularly hard. Physical strength has always been a major problem that restricts Durant. Durant is really adept at scoring in the average intensity competition. But in high-intensity and ultra-high-intensity competitions, Durant's score is not so reliable. Let's take the Western Division in 16 as an example. 16 in the last three games in the west, Durant's shooting percentage at the last moment of each game was very poor. I remember that in the fourth quarter of a game, there was even an embarrassing performance of missing seven consecutive shots.
Throughout history, those superstars, whether Jordan, Kobe or James in active service, are far less physically strong than Durant. Durant's scoring ability is one of the overrated places, because many people usually only look at his scoring ability and ignore his scoring ability in high-intensity competitions.
To tell the truth, Durant averaged a high score in the two years when the Warriors won the championship, but what was the environment at that time? Other links have been taken care of, and there are many super scoring points in the team to attract defensive pressure. Personally, I think that replacing Durant with last season's paul george can still play that performance.
Second, Durant's defense Durant's defense can only be regarded as the upper-middle level of the league, far from reaching the super level. Remember the sixth game in the west of 16. As soon as Clay Thompson opened his hand, the Thunder couldn't defend it, and then Durant defended it. What happened? Still the same. If Durant's defensive ability was better and Thompson could restrain himself, I'm afraid the Thunder would have won the championship that year.
Summary: Durant has been called "the second child of the Millennium" for so many years, and even lost his second child in recent years, it is not without reason. The gap between physical problems and defense makes him always have a little distance from the super giant. In my opinion, Durant is an overrated player.
After suffering from achilles tendon rupture, a team immediately offered a top salary contract. Do you think he is overrated?
Achilles tendon injury, regular season 26.9+7. 1+5.6, three-time hit rate 0.54/0.45/0.88, playoff 34.3+9.3+4.4, three-time hit rate 0.51/0.4/0.87, what do you think of him?
To put it bluntly, Durant is one of the few superstars in NBA history that has been seriously underestimated.
First of all, I think to judge whether a player is overvalued or undervalued is not to compare him with whom, but to see whether his personal ability, leadership, honor and achievements meet the expectations of the outside world and whether he is worthy of the name. More importantly, what he showed has a positive impact on the development of basketball and on people who also love basketball.
Most people know that Durant is a super scorer, but in fact he is an all-round player who is not inferior to James, attacking, defending and passing. Offensive end, from position one to position five, defensive end, from position one to position five.
On the offensive end, it goes without saying that Durant's scoring ability is absolutely unique in history, averaging 27.02 points in regular games, ranking fifth in history; Playoffs averaged 29.5 points per game, ranking third in history. If it is comprehensive, even the head of Michael Jordan, the god of basketball, can shoot 360-degree shots in all directions within the range after half-time, and master all offensive skills, such as basket, throw, three-pointer, back-hitting and face-box. As long as there is anything Durant can't do, on this basis, Durant will also incorporate Nowitzki's "Golden Rooster Independence" stunt into his conventional arsenal.
By the way, why are some players called super scorers, while others score almost the same, but never get this title? There is a simple reason. The so-called super scorer should not only score, but also score. At the same time, the score is explosive, stable and efficient, without losing the strength of "a gentleman seals his throat with a sword" at the critical moment. Throughout the history of NBA, there are only three players who can meet these conditions at the same time, Jordan, Kobe and Durant.
No one knows the ball better than the players.
Kobe once said, "I didn't figure out how to defend Durant until I retired!" " "
Beverly was directly beaten by Durant: "He is kevin durant!"
Compared with super offensive ability, Durant's defensive ability is slightly inferior, so that even the best defensive lineup has not been selected, but it must be said that this is definitely a false and wrong case that cannot be ignored in NBA history.
Durant's defensive ability is not up to the first-class level, but it is also the top in the league. Durant, with his super-long height and flexible steps, can easily cover offensive players, thus interfering with opponents' breakthrough or shooting, and can also assist defense and guard the basket at any time.
Shooting guard, good at small forward. In recent years, he has often reached the position of power forward or even center. Durant's role on the defensive end has also increased. He has three important tasks: assisting defense, protecting the frame and rebounding. Although he can't support a team's defensive task like Duncan and Garnett, he is absolutely excellent.
Once again, no one knows the ball better than the players.
James: Durant's defensive level is comparable to Durant!
Green: "Durant is definitely an underrated defender, but his defense will never be praised because his attack is really excellent!" " "
Whether attacking or defending, Durant's ability to comb the team and organize the attack is equally impressive. He can always find a good position for his teammates and then pass the ball to his teammates to score easily. He can also command his teammates to move and complete good tactical cooperation again and again.
However, because Durant's scoring ability is too strong, he often plays the role of terminator on the court, and he has good ball controllers around him for most of his career, such as Shao Wei, Curry and Owen, so Durant's organizational ability is covered up. If he can hold the ball like James, I believe his average assists per game will not be less than the latter.
Attacking, defending and passing, he is proficient in everything and excellent in everything, but he still can't escape the fate of being questioned. However, it also reveals Durant's first characteristic, far exceeding any other player. He can be perfectly integrated into any team system, with and without the ball.
Durant's ability to lead the team has always been questioned, especially this season, there are two superstars, Harden and Owen, and a former all-star like Griffin. The Nets not only failed to win the championship, but even failed to enter the Eastern Conference finals. As soon as the game was over, Durant was pushed to the forefront of doubts, including a series of remarks such as "unable to lead the team", "Death only comes to warriors" and "Durant is a soft egg", which made people unbearable.
Without commenting too much on these remarks, we can only say that we don't know the world of sunspots, but the facts must be clarified. If Brother Xin doesn't step on Owen intentionally, the Nets can sweep the Bucks, and even if Harden and Owen don't play, Durant can lead the team to the Eastern Conference finals without the referee controlling the court.
It's just that the "if theory" is not as good as the "result theory", and then people with ulterior motives took the opportunity to label Durant as "unable to lead the team".
In fact, Durant has a superb ability to lead the team, next playoff and last championship. As long as he is on the team, he is a strong contender for the championship, whether it is Thunder, Warriors or Nets.
13- 14 season, Shao Wei was injured and the fighting stopped. Durant had to carry the banner of Thunder alone, attacking, defending and passing the ball, being both a father and a mother. In the end, he not only averaged 32.0+7.4+5.5, won the mvp in the regular season, but also brought the Thunder to the Western Conference finals. If not,
Let's talk about the three years of the warrior. Many people criticized Durant for "defecting to the enemy" and "hugging his thighs". It is true that Durant never lost to the Warriors last year, but it is really disgraceful to join the Warriors next year. However, except for the Lakers and Celtics, other teams in the NBA are not hostile. The so-called defection is just a man-made word with ulterior motives.
To tell the truth, Durant is the savior of the Warriors. 17 and 18 two-year finals, which year didn't Durant turn the tide and lead the team to easily win the opponent? In contrast, the Warriors of 16 did not have Durant and won 73 games in the regular season. The final score was 3- 1, and it was still tied by the opponent. Durant 19 was injured in the finals, and the Warriors were easily defeated by the Raptors.
It is no exaggeration to say that Durant led the Warriors to two consecutive championships, and two fmvp is the best proof.
Two championships, two fmvp, 1 mvp in the regular season, four scoring champions, 1/all-star, nine best teams, two Olympic gold medals,1World Championships.
It is true that the Olympic gold medal and the World Championship gold medal are not worth mentioning to NBA players, and Durant will not care too much, but it shows Durant's unparalleled dominance in the field and can be called the first person in the international arena of the American men's basketball team.
Frankly speaking, Durant's influence is not as good as that of Jordan, Kobe, James and Curry. Some people even say that he is an ordinary player in this respect, and there is not much problem. After all, carrots and vegetables have their own tastes.
However, Durant's appearance has played a great role in promoting the development of basketball and has a positive impact on people who love basketball, but it can not be ignored.
Before Durant, no one could have thought that a person with a height of 2. 1 1 could dribble as flexibly as a point guard, shoot as accurately as a point guard and be omnipotent on the court, which completely subverted people's inherent understanding of basketball and inspired people who love basketball to believe in themselves. As long as you work hard, miracles will always happen, which is the second feature that Durant is far superior to any other player.
In fact, there is an extremely simple way to judge whether a player is overvalued or undervalued, that is, to see who the draft template of this player is. Exceeding the template is underestimated, and it is better to be overestimated. Durant's draft template is Nowitzki and McGrady. Obviously Durant has achieved all-round transcendence, and even the two together may not be as good as Durant. So, isn't that enough to show that Durant is a seriously underestimated superstar?
Durant won all the "MVP titles" in the mainstream basketball competitions in the world. Including NBA rookie MVP, three MVPs in the league and two MVPs in international competitions, with these titles, I am afraid I can already enter the top 20 discussion categories in historical position.
You don't need to describe how strong his personal ability is. Just look at the NBA Finals of the 20 16-20 17 season and you will know what it is. As for whether he is an unprecedented figure? We have seen Garnett (7-foot defensive mobile system) and Nowitzki (7-foot offensive nuclear weapon), but at least both of them belong to inside players. 7-foot forward (kaleidoscope against spiders)? It really never happened in history.
Not overestimate but underestimate!
In a team like Thunder, which lacks conventional tactics, starting from 1 1, as far as the players are concerned, as long as they don't suffer injuries, they can at least enter the west, except Durant! In addition, I personally don't think it is more difficult to reach the finals in a row than in the East! Durant proved in the Warriors that as long as the team as a whole is excellent, regular time does not consume too much physical strength, and the ability at critical moments is extremely strong!
If James is the strongest player with his own system now, Durant is undoubtedly the strongest killer player now!
Look at George W. Wei's struggle to win a playoff game, and you will know that Durant is strong, at least the West is over.
No, Durant has the strength. At that time, Thunder III saw the strength in the Warriors class and won the MVP championship.
Theoretically, Durant has some overvalued ingredients.
1. Feel and data brought by choosing unlimited fire right in Durant small ball market.
2. Catch up with the superstar whistle of the alliance's star-making trend, which ensures Durant's healthy growth to a certain extent, and the data also increases to a certain extent. At that time, the league defense was still very brave.
Durant is the mvp scoring champion except the championship. These are still ok. The ability to lead the team is not good. It can be said that teammates are not good. Radish didn't dare to make moves, but Shao Wei made a rare move that year. The lineup of the second master is also good, but Durant basically killed his physical strength in the fourth quarter and can't make mistakes.
Durant, the warrior, was praised to the sky. In fact, Durant rarely encounters defensive consumption, and a defensive expert like Green is not good or normal.
5. Injury legendary achievement 17. The mat is stuck in the spurs. Warriors basically don't sweat, but they pass the spurs. Playing the Spurs normally will cause great consumption to the Warriors. 18, Paul doesn't hurt warriors. Legends are hard to continue. Durant's warriors didn't really meet their teammates.
6. Last year, the Clippers without superstars greatly consumed Durant's last injury. In fact, Durant's upper limit is limited to physical strength.
7. For example, when Cam faced the 76ers and Bucks last year, could Durant lead the Raptors out of the East? It is hard to say how much fighting power is left in the east. It is very likely that 76 people will rub the ground.
Durant won the championship for two years. James is too old to support himself. Cam's gradual peak has been padded, and the letters are not abnormal. He hasn't met a really strong team yet.
9. Durant pulled his popularity back and risked his life to break the Achilles tendon. But in fact, there is no official report on whether the fracture and tear mean a fracture, but his popularity has been pulled back, and the stigma of defecting to the enemy has decreased. After all, it was almost written into the negative textbook of American primary education.
His pride is overrated.
Not overrated, his strength is beyond doubt!
