Durant is doomed to have no rest, even if it is outscore.
In today’s home game against the Hornets, the lead in the third quarter of basketable nets has reached 23 points. Durant still can’t clock in and get off work. He has to stand up from the bench at the last moment, pack up the game and take it away.
Because, in the 5 minutes before the fourth quarter, he did not play, the advantage of basketable nets has been divided from 9 to 4 points. At 7 minutes 3 seconds, pramley used counterattack dislocation to hit Joe Harris a 2+1, the Hornets caught 103-107, and pramley also wanted free throws.
When Durant stood up from the bench, the total amount of time he had played this season had accumulated to 952 minutes. Durant is not only the longest player in the basketable Nets team, but also the longest player in the NBA league this season, none of them.
This is Durant’s 26th match. He has not missed the battle due to injury or taken a break this season. There were only two people working in basketable nets, one was Royce O’Neal and the other was him.
Durant is really exhausted. You know he is 34 years old, but-no matter how tired he is, he is also very happy.
The current lineup in basketable nets, which is equivalent to the meal he saved, must be paid by himself.
Harden had already left. Simmons came and Owen often left. Simmons had not been in the fourth consecutive game due to injury, so Durant had to score, rebound, and assist. Today he almost won the Wasp, and he was 29+9+8 again. If you steal a little lazy today, it is likely that the wasp will surpass him. Last time he played Pacers away, he still lost 36+9+8.
Durant replaced Owen with two jump shots, leading the advantage to two rounds first. By 4 minutes 50 seconds, Owen came on stage to replace Claxton, which meant Durant began to play center. As long as the team needs it, Durant never cares about where he plays, Number 1, Number 3, Number 4, or number 5 center.
Coach Warne arranged this line-up to show three people. Two people played: Durant and Owen played two, 5-1 split, I will cover for you, or you will cover for me, it is not possible to change the Wasp, nor is it possible to change it. If you don’t change it, the other one will be empty. If you change it, there will be dislocation. In this way, Owen made a jump shot, Durant scored two more points, Owen punished two, and finally a breakthrough would expand the advantage to 6 points.
The classic half-section ball was watched by others. Only rozil and ubray tried their best to defend it, still sighing. Only 13.7 seconds were left for the wasp after Owen ran into it.
Hornet coach Clifford looked at this pair of partners and decided to play. His eyes were full of envy. All he could do was rozil and ubray. Three balls were injured and Hayward was also injured, but what can they do if they are here? Basketable nets manager warn said proudly that such a block removal was fatal. He also said, in fact, we don’t often use them two to two, it seems that we will use them in the future.
Durant is a very pure person in basketball. I describe him as a “basketball Saint”.
As long as Durant walks on the court, all the distractions will no longer exist. He never worries about things that have nothing to do with basketball, such as the data, whether he is tired, whether he will be injured, whether there will be a game tomorrow, and whether he will go away after playing. He only made decisions according to the most basic rules of basketball, and all the decisions were just to win the game. As for the latter, we will talk about it later.
He walked onto the court, just like the Christians walked into the church, and the holy light was scattered and bathed in his whole body. This made him completely purified, and he only wanted to play.
Clifford envied Durant’s passion for basketball. He said after the game today that he reminded himself of Kobe. Durant was flattered and said, “until today, Kobe is still the person I am studying hard, and I try hard to copy everything he has done. I did the same with Michael Jordan. No matter what you want to do, these two have set an example for us.”
Will Durant be exhausted? It’s hard to say that he keeps fighting like this, although he doesn’t care about himself.
Basketable nets is an imperfect team with heavy offensive and light defense, especially with weak internal configuration. Claxston played center, Durant played 4, and Royce played 3D. But this configuration is designed for modern basketball style, aiming at playing fast, fighting back and shooting. But also because of this lineup, Durant must participate in more basket defense, rebounding and protecting baskets.
But now Simmons is injured or not, Durant also needs to organize a forward. This team is nominally a core defender, but he is better at scoring with the ball, so in dominating the ball, the two share a part. Durant was not James, not a born organization forward. He played green army in the last game, Durant scored 31 points, assisted 5 times, but made 8 mistakes. Durant was elected the best in the East last week. These eight mistakes and losses to the Green Army were the only flaws.
Durant needs help, especially in his number 4 position. Watanabe played well before, sharing a lot of pressure for Durant, but he did not play in the last 10 games due to thigh muscle injuries. The young substitute center Sharp was sent to the development alliance to return to the furnace. Only big Morris was left as an experienced helper, but his playing time was not fixed. Sometimes he came out during garbage time and often DNP.
These days T.J. Warren came back. This was a tough man who could get close to 20 points in both the Sun and the walkers. However, he had been recovering for too long and had to take his time. He didn’t get any money after playing for 11 minutes today.
In fact, all the hopes for the success of the bureau saved by Durant are on Simmons.
Compared with the All-Star era, Durant now has only 50% Simmons around him. He has a lot of bad problems, and his knee and waist have been injured all the time. He has been unable to play against the wasp for four times in a row.
But Simmons could completely change the structure of basketable nets, greatly reducing Durant’s burden, because he had multiple positions. When he started, he became the No. 1 position. Durant only needed to transfer and score. When he played, Simmons rotated to the No. 5 position and became the center of the organization. Simmons, Durant, Royce, Owen and another pitcher, you can form a lineup in the last 5 minutes.
Simmons is gradually warming up and got 20 + twice. Although it is the same as eating two dumplings, the average score is only 5.2 points compared with the first 9 games, Simmons averaged 15.5 points in the next 6 games, but his knees were uncomfortable and stopped.
When Simmons will return to 80% or even better, Durant will be able to unload the heavy burden.
When will it wait? I guess after the All-Star weekend, there are still more than two months away from now. During this waiting period, Will Durant find a time to rest?
