In fact, the relationship between Durant and the Warriors is not particularly bad. A lot of it was made up by the media, and Durant and Thompson were actually very happy when the Warriors played. The two men's style of play, as well as the rhythm of their playing style, reached a level of seamless connection. Durant has been in the recovery phase since leaving the Warriors, when Thompson supported Durant, saying that he missed Durant very much. Durant is also a great basketball player, and good basketball stars will always feel sorry for each other. Let's take a look back at durant and Thompson's record with the Warriors.
In three seasons with Durant, Thompson's form has not been affected in any way. Instead, Durant provided Thompson with plenty of containment, and in his three seasons with Thompson and Durant, he averaged more than 20 points per game and shot less than 40 percent from three-point range. Thanks to Thompson's containment, Durant is also in excellent shape in the Warriors, and in the Warriors people call Durant the god of death, because Durant can always stand up at key moments when the Warriors play. His efficiency is also the highest in his career.
In his first season with the Warriors, Durant shot nearly 54 percent from the field. Durant averaged more than 52 percent from the field in the Warriors career. In the 2017 playoffs, Durant averaged nearly 29 points per game and shot a terrible 56 percent from the field. Playing next to Thompson, Durant also learned a lot. Thompson is a low-key, humble, game-focused player. Thompson will try to run without the ball, and although Thompson is not good at passing, he knows how to share the ball for his teammates. When teammates feel it, Thompson also takes the initiative to create ball rights for teammates. After Durant came to the Warriors, he quickly integrated into the team system, and the Warriors have a very good passing ability. Durant only needs to run to the right position to get the ball, so the Warriors' three seasons have improved Durant's passing and ability to share the ball.
Durant evolved from an ordinary scorer to a ball-holding offensive nucleus in the Warriors. He can integrate role players into the team's offense. Durant's performances at the Nets have become more and more comprehensive in the past two seasons, and the offensive influence has also become more and more influential. This is inextricably linked to the Warriors' experience.
Durant and Thompson have both been badly injured, both have been injured for at least a season, and they can both understand each other's situation. Durant trained hard and waited a season for a comeback. Thompson waited two years, so Thompson's return to Durant today can understand Thompson's excitement and excitement. Hopefully, Thompson will keep his career healthy and join the team in the championship this season. Dear readers, how do you comment on Thompson's return today?
