Many fans may have always had a question, that is, Durant has partnered with countless superstars in his career, why he only got two championship rings when the Warriors partnered Curry, and whether it was the Thunder before or the Nets and Suns later, he was difficult to win the O'Brien Cup. In fact, if we take a closer look at the style of play of these teams, we can roughly understand why only Durant can succeed in the Warriors.
Before Durant came to the Warriors, he partnered with Willow and Harden on the Thunder. After leaving the Warriors, he came to the Nets and worked with Irving and Harden. After leaving the Nets, he moved to the Suns to partner Booker, all of whom are superstars in the league and have very strong offensive capabilities. But Durant didn't get a championship ring on any other team. Is it really the ability of the superstars he partners with? Actually, it's not, it's because the playing style of those superstars is too different from Curry.
In other words, Durant's career is not suitable to partner with some top singles. You'll find that whether it's with the Thunder, the Nets, or the Suns, he's surrounded by players who need to carry the ball. In other words, the superstars who are partnered with the Nets and Suns each have strong individual attributes, even if their teammates are strong, but one ball is not enough to score. And players like Harden, Irving and Booker are all players who like to shoot after a single game, and Curry and Thompson play in a completely different way.
While with the Warriors, Durant can play both the ball-handler and the ball-off. And Curry and Thompson also play most of the time without the ball. So the Warriors created better chances. Curry and Thompson helped Durant draw a lot of defensive attention, so Durant was mostly open when he was with the Warriors. But after coming to the Nets and Suns, Durant became a defensive shot against the opposing team. So the two ways of playing doomed the latter to not succeed.
In addition, the Nets and Suns are easier to defend offensively, and because the Warriors' offensive system is very complex, opponents will have holes when they are not careful when defending the Warriors. At this time, the Warriors will seize the loophole and punish the opponent. And with the Nets and Suns, they only need to guard against key people, because it is impossible for two people to take two balls and play alone in the half-court offense. It's either Durant's personal singles, or Irving's personal singles, or Booker's personal singles, or Harden's personal singles. So they only need to defend one person, and with the Warriors they need to pay attention to three people at the same time, and that's what sets Durant apart from other teams on the Warriors.
So it's not how much magic Curry has, but Curry and Thompson, two historic pitchers, Durant who are the most compatible. They have a reasonable distribution of who plays with the ball, who plays without the ball, and who plays the attack at key moments. In fact, it's not just Durant who is more suitable for Curry and Thompson, any superstar in the league is very suitable for the Splash Brothers, and any supergiant and Splash Brothers are incomprehensible.
