Facing the Bucks, whose record was not as good as their own defending champion, the Nets still lost, and the showdown between durant and alphabet brothers, the core of the two teams, was still very exciting. The team lost, but the individual performance was that Durant won, which is important enough, because Durant and Alphabet Brother are fiercely competing for the East All-Star Captain, and it is Durant who leads the vote, and durant is the leader in personal data, and Alphabet Brother is temporarily at a disadvantage.
Durant can walk out of the court with his head held high as he sets a new personal milestone, scoring 29 points in this game and rising to 23rd overall in history to surpass Ewing. Since Durant is only 33 years old, his goal should be to surpass the two active leading scorers James and Anthony, but the gap is still very large, about 3,000 points away from Anthony and about 11,000 points from James.
However, after experiencing a serious injury, Durant can still recover the peak of the state, it is already very rare, the championship is no longer what he pursues, so he attaches special importance to personal data. It shouldn't be a big deal to get the regular season scoring champion again this season, because he's currently the only player averaging more than 30 points per game, which is not an exaggeration, and his shooting rate is more than 50%, which is undisputed.
If such efficiency can be maintained, surpassing Anthony is inevitable, and there is still a chance to catch up with James. In terms of historical status, if Durant is going to surpass James as the first small forward in history, only personal honor is not enough, he should win more championships. Especially after James retires, he must at least be the first person in the league. Now that Irving has finally made a comeback, the Nets have a high chance of winning the championship, can Durant surpass James? It's still possible.
