KD we also know that with a historical level of singles ability, one-on-one ability is not even as good as Kobe Jordan. With a height of 2.11 meters and an arm span of 2.25 meters, it was originally the height of the No. 5 position, but it had the dribbling ability and breakthrough ability of the No. 1 position, as well as the shooting ability of the No. 2 position, which directly caused KD to be one of the most difficult players in the history of the NBA. Taller than him, he can end with a layup after the breakthrough, or a shot, and he can directly pull out if he is shorter than him. Despite having an almost insoluble misalignment ability, there are still players in the active NBA who can defend KD!
"Before you came, we were already champions!" This sentence made KD break the defense, KD had several quarrels with Green because of the problem of the ball right in the last minute when he was in the Warriors. In the 19th Finals, KD was helpless and forced to return to the Finals under pressure, which directly led to injuries, and finally came to the Brooklyn Nets angrily. In fact, KD came to the Nets when the Thunder, Green's defense of KD's effect is good! There have been 4-3 West Finals reversals, and while we know that Clay's credit is greater, many times Green has let KD's offense fail. Despite being 1.98 meters tall, KD has an arm span of 2.17 meters, and his excellent maneuverability and physique allow Green to defend from position 1 to position 5. Who in active duty can defend KD one-on-one? In addition to Dream Green, there are 7 more!
Xiao Ka is recognized as one of the best defensive players in the league, as an outside player, he has won two DPOYs, which is enough to prove the defensive ability of Xiao Ka! Unlike Gobert's virtual defense, the defense of the small card can be contracted from the outside of the three-point line to the inside line, the small card despite its height is only 2 meters 01, but the arm span reaches 2 meters 21, the death entanglement of the small card can make KD very uncomfortable, the author feels that if the small card is aligned with KD, maybe KD can't take advantage of anything! The 17-year Spurs showdown against the Warriors is the best proof, Xiao ka did not hurt, the Spurs led the Warriors by 20 points; the small card was reimbursed, and the Spurs were swept 0-4 by the Warriors.
Simmons can become a 16-year champion because Simmons has top athleticism and defensive ability, top breakthrough ability and organizational ability, and the weakness lies in shooting. Simmons is 2.11 meters tall and has an arm span of 2.14 meters, and Simmons is not at all inferior to KD in height, and at the same time, his athletic ability is greatly superior to KD. Simmons was selected to defend twice in 4 years, which is enough to prove Simmons' defensive ability. Defending KD is fine, but on defense Jenna, Simmons loses to Booker!
Wagner Jr., the Magic's No. 8 show this year, is one of the key objects of the Magic to cultivate, and he has excellent shooting ability and good physical fitness. Although there is a problem with the speed guard who defends Fox and Westbrook, the defense KD is no problem, once when the Magic played against the Nets, Wagner Jr. made KD suffer 3 times! Wagner Jr. is 2.06 meters tall and has an arm span of 2.11 meters, and although the ceiling is limited, he will not become a lottery show with water drops. This year,he's averaged 14.5 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.4 blocks, which is enough to show that Wagner Jr. is all-round, and he is indeed much better than his brother!
Wade, a 19-year missed draft, is a 3D player in the No. 4 position. Reaching 2.06 meters tall, he shot 36.5% of his three-point shooting rate this year, and his defensive efficiency reached 103.1 per 100 rounds, ranking 44th in the league. When playing against KD, KD can limit KD's shooting rate to less than 40%, and is one of the best players in the league to defend KD. Unfortunately, now that the Cavaliers' inside talent is extraordinary, the three-high combination of Markkanen, Mobley and Jayt Allen is basically fixed, while the front line has Okoro and Osman, and Wade's playing time is also very limited!
Bridges is only 1.98 meters tall, but the arm span is 2.18 meters, and if you have watched Bridges play, you can see that Bridges is a player with an arm span over the knee. Bridges has Leonard's meaning, often defending opponents' outside sharps, and once had Curry shoot 4-of-21 from the field and 3-of-14 from three-point range. Defensive KD, Bridges is also similar to a small card, the author feels that Bridges if facing KD still does not suffer losses, which is why bridges first signed instead of signing the same title Ayton. 4 years 90 million contract, very good value for money!
Now if you want to say that Ibaka defends KD, that's definitely not ok! Ibaka no longer has the athletic ability to play in the Thunder, which directly leads to a significant decline in Ibaka's defensive ability. Ibaka was a two-time blocker in the league, selected for 3 defensive teams, and his excellent defensive ability also made Ibaka a defensive gate for the Thunder. With a height of 2.08 meters and an arm span of 2.21 meters, coupled with excellent athleticism and defensive awareness, the author feels that the peak of Ibaka's defensive KD is completely fine! Unfortunately, at Ibaka's peak, we didn't see Ibaka defending KD because it was in the same team. It is estimated that when the team was training, KD felt the defensive pressure of Ibaka!
The value of the alphabet brother on the defensive end seems to be more like leonard of the big one, with a height of 2 meters 11 and an arm span of 2 meters 24, which also makes the alphabet brother defense KD completely without problems. In the playoffs last year, Alphabet Brother eliminated the Nets led by KD and advanced to the East Finals, thus passing the level and winning the championship! Alphabet brother has got DPOY, selected 3 times to defend a team, alphabet brother in defense talent is at least two grades better than the KD in the same position, this is also because the alphabet brother has better athletic ability. The author thinks that one-on-one heads-up, KD may eat on the alphabet brother!
