The NBA regular season continued, the Nets beat Philadelphia 114-105, and durant, the core of the Nets, blasted 34 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists, and the offensive end had another excellent performance. What is even more awe-inspiring is that Durant's performance on the defensive end is also very prominent.
According to the latest updated high-level stats for this game, Durant put Harris and Embiid on 0-of-8 shooting when he was defending against Philadelphia players.
Durant played 4:53 against Harris on the defensive end, and Harris scored 0-of-6 from the field and didn't score a single point. At the same time, Durant also played 47 seconds against Embiid on the defensive end, and Embiid also missed a point on 0-of-2 shooting. In this game, the two giants of Philadelphia completely lost their crosshairs when facing Durant's defense.
In addition, Durant also has a good performance in defending Danny Green, Sebel and others. Under Durant's defense, Green shot 1 of 4 and Sabur 1 of 3.
In this game, Durant really did dominate the offensive and defensive ends. With Harden continuing to miss games and Irving still not making a comeback, Durant continued to lead the Nets to win the game and continue to lead the East.
In fact, Durant's defense has always been underestimated. On weekdays, Adu sometimes leaks people on the defensive end and is not willing to give his all, but he is like Harden and Irving, if the team needs him to contribute on the defensive end, he can still stand up, because he does have such ability.
And such offensive and defensive aspects are also the key factors in considering whether a player is a superstar. In this regard, the Lakers' James, bucks alphabet brother, clippers Leonard and other forwards have such capabilities, and now, Durant, who is also a forward, also has this ability, just to see if the Nets need him to make a huge contribution on the defensive end? After all, his attrition on the offensive end was large enough.
