Just after the game between the Nets and the Bucks, Owen said in an interview with reporters, I feel that sometimes I am regarded as a containment point. I don't want to encounter such a situation in today's confrontation. Obviously, Owen is talking about Durant's two winning goals, and his offensive choice is problematic. Actually, it's true. At the last moment of the fourth quarter, Durant shot, Owen was unguarded, but Durant chose to turn a blind eye to Owen. The same thing happened at the last minute of overtime. Durant also managed to defend many people, but Owen was still open and couldn't get the ball. He obviously has a chance to finish the game. Durant lost because he didn't pass the ball. Owen's mood seems to be all right.
But Durant's habit of believing that he didn't want to pass the ball to Owen at the last minute can't be simply attributed to his drug abuse. In the final analysis, it is related to Owen's frequent absence and Durant's lack of reliable helpers. After all, during the time when Ou Shenxian couldn't play without vaccination, the Nets didn't collapse because of Durant's death. Now that Owen has just become a regular, he is eager to show himself and try to switch Durant from a lonely hero to a second-in-command mode. After the game, he publicly expressed the team's dissatisfaction with his positioning, which was an immature performance. No wonder Owen has left James for so many years and moved to many teams, but he has never achieved anything. In the final analysis, it is not because of his technical misfortune, but more because of his low emotional intelligence.
To go far, the Nets not only need Durant to play at a super high level, but also need Owen and Durant to sacrifice for each other. Durant won two consecutive championships in the Warriors because Curry gave him the right to attack at a critical moment. Whether Owen can think like Curry and sacrifice for Durant remains to be seen.
