preface:
There are five positions on the basketball court, and the players in each position perform their duties and have their own roles. But there is also the ability of one person to do all the tasks, and throughout the NBA, although there are many such cases, not everyone has such an ability. Especially for Durant, he is a player with very distinct characteristics, his scoring ability is far better than his organizational ability, and sometimes let Durant organize, that is, in the destruction of natural objects, wasting talent!
Not every forward is James
Looking at the league's outstanding small forwards, except for James, each of them has their own advantages, Leonard is best at defense and now he has grown into a superstar of attack and defense, Durant is good at scoring, George is also an offensive front, and the real kind of person who can do the possession front is only James. Of course, this does not mean that these forward players are worse than James, this is just the characteristics of everyone playing, James is his own system, the ball must be in his hands, the attack can only be initiated by him, which is the best way for James's team to win.
For Durant, his team wants to win is very simple, as long as the end of the moment is Durant is enough, because the physical limitations do not let Durant do too many things, of course, force him to do he can also do, such as last year to grab seven triple doubles, but the victory of the game seems to be unable to get. But let Durant score points without any worries, then Durant can definitely guarantee the record. However, the Nets do not seem to do this, especially in the absence of Irving, and even let Durant carry the burden of the organization, but he can deliver 6 assists and 8 turnovers, and it is clear that assists and points cannot be combined.
Want to limit Durant, the bag clip has always been the best means, this is proven in the NBA, Durant's ability to break the bag clip is far less than James's, as long as the bag Jam, then he will use his own pass to kill the game, but the bag clip Durant is likely to be exchanged for a mistake. If Durant is allowed to organize, it is equivalent to self-destruction of martial arts, one is that his vision is far from being so outstanding, but if Durant is not allowed to score, then Durant's deterrent power can be greatly reduced! Having Durant pass the ball shows that the defense was a great success.
On personal ability, Durant and James may have differences, but in fact, the difference between the two is far less than the honor is reflected, especially on the offensive end Durant is pressing James, Nash does not have to let Durant do what organization forward, this is not his job, although Nash is several assist kings, but the offense is a talent organization is also a talent. Durant's offensive skill points are full, there is no need to try what he is not good at, it is enough to do what he is best at!
The Nets are not short of organization
And for the Nets, this team has always said that there is no lack of organization at all, after all, they got Dragic, which is a good point guard, his understanding of tactics, his field vision is the best in the NBA, if you let Durant organize, what does Dragic do? His scoring ability is not as good as Durant, especially after he is older, he is more difficult to achieve success in the offensive end, so it is good to perform his duties, the scorer should be a scorer, Durant reduces the possession, and more participation in the offense is his most correct way to open.
Of course, the reason why Nash let Durant organize is probably his own considerations, because the Nets are almost all endpoints, from the interior to the guard, almost no ability to attack autonomously, and they all need a fulcrum to drive them to score. Whether it's Mills, Seth Curry, Drummond, Aldridge, they all need to be fed, so they want Durant to lead them to score. But in terms of the explosive power and stability of the score, these people simply can't compare with Durant, can't lose the watermelon and pick up the sesame seeds, which is heavy and which is light, is it not clear?
And after waiting for Irving to return, Durant does not need to do such a thing at all, he just needs to attack with the ball, the Nets can rely on Durant and Irving to double bomb to win the game, and others can do a good job of defense. Of course, some people say that Durant's assists can rank 22nd in the NBA, but in a lineup like the Nets, which is an endpoint, as long as the ball can be divided, it can complete the score, so the number of assists can be increased. But to say what kind of high-tech assists this is, what drives the team to play tactics, this is not the same way of playing at all.
Durant is indeed a very good player, but organizing the offense is really not something he can do, Durant's nickname is death, and death is not exactly the one who harvests people's heads with a scythe? Durant's instinct is to score, which has been deeply imprinted in his bones, and what is engraved in his DNA is not something that can be easily changed. He has been an end point for 15 years of his career, and his offensive habits are not to be changed, organizational skills are not to be cultivated, and if you want to win the championship, you have to let Durant open up to score.
epilogue:
You can't give up your strengths but magnify your shortcomings and do what you do best in order to be more close to success. Obviously, Durant is best at scoring rather than organizing, and letting him organize is simply a waste of such a good offensive resource. I believe that Durant himself does not like the organization, it should be the coaching staff for his requirements, the regular season trial test can be, do not let Durant do this in the playoffs tight moments, such a worry is not unreasonable, Nash may really let him do this!
