Today's Nets beat Philadelphia 114-105, Durant shot 13 of 24 shots slashed 34 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists, according to statistics, he has averaged 39.7 points, 10.3 rebounds and 9.3 assists per game in the absence of Harden in the past three games, the true shooting rate is as high as 61.5%, in other words, the single-core operation of Adu not only scores efficient terror, but also has a comprehensive hand, at first glance, he thought that it was the performance of "all-out Zhan" in the playoffs, and the impression of the "only points can not lead the team" Durant is slightly out of the blue.
Latest Scoring Ranking! The age of omnipotence is coming?
Why can Durant, defined as a "super scorer," evolve into an omnipotent ball-holding core? We can take "Harden is absent, Durant has to do it" as a basic reason, and the deeper reason is that After Durant gets more possession of the ball, he can fully enter the mode of big package, carry the team forward with his own strength, in addition to the amazing data, the team has repeatedly overcome dangers, won a lot of seemingly unattainable victories, and continues to dominate the top position in the East.
After the game, Durant's season average data came to 29.7 points, 7.9 rebounds and 5.9 assists, still riding the dust in the league's scoring list, nearly 3 points more than the second-place alphabet brother, and a closer look can be found that these scoring maniacs in the list have good rebounding and assist data, alphabet brother 27.0 points, 11.6 rebounds and 5.8 assists, Curry 26.9 points, 5.5 rebounds and 6.1 assists, Jokic 26.6 points, 13.6 rebounds and 7.5 assists, which can be described as eighteen martial arts proficiency.
In addition to the data maniacs in front, Doncic, who scored slightly lower, continued his consistent all-around, averaging 25.6 points, 8.0 rebounds and 8.5 assists per game, and Paul George, who did not have Leonard, also single-handedly led the team to 25.0 points, 7.3 rebounds and 5.4 assists.
And the "Bulls double stars" DeRozan and Lavin had 26.4 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 26.0 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.2 assists respectively, just a fraction of a centimeter away from the 25+5+5 mark.
The league's strongest scoring ability of the stars almost all incarnated into the all-around warrior, not to mention James, the "all-round old man" because of the lack of attendance has not yet entered the official list, only from the data point of view, the league has entered the era of all-around, as a home star, in addition to scoring, must also have a certain pass control organization skills, so like the assist ability slightly weakEr Booker must be accompanied by a Paul, and Tatum due to the lack of such a ball-holding helper, the talented Green Army does not advance or retreat.
The big core of the ball is no longer a scarce species, and they have suffered an embarrassment of depreciation
In fact, in the first decade of the 21st century, the all-round star is still very precious, taking the 07-08 season as an example, the average star who can get 20+5+5 per game is only James, Kobe Bryant and Maddy, especially James, who raised the standard to 27+7+7, which is the strongest all-round monster in the era, and then Before Garnett got 20+10+5 data for six consecutive seasons, it is already a miracle in history, and this is just the basic set of alphabet brothers now.
With the development of the times and the improvement of the rhythm of the game, it is not uncommon for backcourt players to get 20+5+5, and James, Doncic, Harden and Westbrook, who were once named as the "big core of the ball", have also unfortunately suffered the embarrassment of depreciation.
James because of old age and injury factors, the data is not as good as the peak of the time, needless to mention, Westbrook joined the Lakers after the ball was diluted round share decline, in order to win had to sacrifice their luxury data, Harden and Doncic lost a lot of opportunities to touch porcelain because of the new rules, the original easy to cut down the outrageous all-round data, now also have more than enough and lack of strength.
Objectively speaking, only stars who really have a scoring threat have the capital to naturally cut the all-around data, Durant's assists are all based on being packaged or attracted to the defense to create space for teammates, Curry also bears the heavy responsibility of involving defense in the system, they did not intend to make a big package, but inadvertently let the value of the big core of the ball decline step by step.
Basketball in the final analysis is a game of scoring, the rest of the data are based on the ability to score, the future basketball concept of position is more and more blurred is an inevitable trend, "James" type players may not be able to become the master of the times, the concept of holding the ball big core, perhaps in the near future will completely become synonymous with the team cancer.
