The NBA regular season continued, with the Nets beating the Pistons 116-104, and Durant blasted down 51 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists, widening the gap with other players on the scoring list.
Just before today's game, Durant has been narrowed by the alphabet brothers to close the scoring gap. Alphabet Brother averaged 27.6 points per game, surpassing the Warriors' Curry to rank Second on the scoring list, while Durant averaged 28.5 points per game for No. 1.
But after today's game, Alphabet Brother generally only scored 20 points due to his performance on the offensive end, while Durant bombed 51 points, so Durant once again opened up the gap with Alphabet Brother.
Currently, Durant leads the NBA with an average of 29.4 points per game, alphabet brother averaging 27.3 points per game, and No. 3 Curry averaging 27.1 points per game.
Considering that Irving is still uncertain about when to return, or that Irving will be traded by the Nets before he returns, and Harden will also take a break, Durant also has more opportunities to destroy the city on the offensive end.
Adu is clearly fully capable of this as well. Currently, he's shooting 52.9 percent, his ninth consecutive season at over 50 percent. With such a steady state, it is not difficult for Durant to continue to lead the scoring list in the future.
In his career, Durant has won the top score four times, in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2014. If he wins the scoring championship again this season, it will also be the second time in eight years to get this honor, and in that case, he will leave George Gervin and Iverson and become the third most scoring champion in NBA history, behind Jordan (10 times) and Chamberlain (7 times). Among the active players, in addition to Durant, Harden has the most scoring kings (3 times).
