Smith & Thomas: Durant has a lot of weapons and is extremely difficult to defend Irving's ball-handling skills are in full swing

Live Bar April 26, the Nets beat the Suns 128-119, Durant returned in his first game, 12 of 21 cut 33 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, Irving 19 of 10 cut 34 points, 6 rebounds and 12 assists.

After the game, speaking about Durant's return to help the Nets, former NBA player Steve Smith said: "Not every player can quickly find form after his comeback, Durant has this ability. I appreciate what he said in the interview, 'Today's game was a good practical test for me. In my opinion, his free performance is indeed like training, and it is difficult for opponents to restrain him. In the game, he first received the ball at a 45-degree angle and then quickly went inside. After attracting the attention of the other party, he quickly sent an assist to Jordan Jr. to easily complete the air connection.

After that, he exchanged opportunities with Owen at the top of the arc, and finally swung paul over himself to complete the dunk. It is difficult for a big man of more than 2 meters to be defended by him entering the inner line.

He then used cover to pull outside the 3-point line to complete the 3-point shooting. I really don't know how to defend Durant. ”

Speaking about Irving's performance, Pistons star "Smiling Assassin" Thomas said: "His ball handling skills are so good, it is rare to see him so fierce ball handling skills. I have my own style when I play, and Irving has his own uniqueness. His shooting choices are getting better and better.

The Nets have been working hard for the Eastern Conference number one throughout the season, and although there are important players missing from time to time, Irving's performance has been very stable, and he is the best player in the Nets team like Harden and KD. Even sometimes, people think that Irving can be included in the MVP shortlist. I know that Irving and the media have often had some unpleasantness before, but I still want to say what I often say, let go of obsession, and always be grateful. I also hope that everyone will give Owen more recognition. ”
