Durant finally recovered from injuries this season, averaging 26.9 points per game in the regular season and 34.2 points per game in the playoffs, and Durant played the first active man in the league. Durant's comeback is also a long-lost topic for the league, that is, who is the best player in the league between Durant and James. Therefore, the US media also did a data collection on Instagram, proving that the best player in the league is still James, not Durant.
Shooting at the end of the game
Durant shot 0-of-4 from the final decision of the game. Shooting percentage 0%. James shot 5-of-9 at the end of the game, shooting 55.6 percent from the field.
Shooting in the last 3 seconds of the game
Durant shot 2-of-9 in the final 3 seconds of the game, shooting 22.2 percent from the field. James shot 7-of-15 in the final 3 seconds of the game, shooting 46.7 percent from the field.
Shots in the last 48 seconds of the game
Durant shot 9-of-31 in the final 48 seconds of the game, shooting 29.0 percent from the field. James shot 19 of 38 shots in the final 48 seconds of the game, shooting a whopping 50.0 percent from the field.
Shoot in the last 1 minute of the game
Durant shot 9-of-34 in the final minute of the game, shooting 26.5 percent from the field. James shot 21-of-41 in the final minute of the game, shooting 48.8 percent from the field.
Shoot in the last 2 minutes of the game
Durant shot 17-of-50 in the final two minutes of the game, shooting 34.0 percent from the field. James shot 32-of-70 in the final two minutes of the game, shooting a whopping 45.7 percent from the field.
Summary: Obviously James' key stats are much better than Durant's, and even Durant's best playoff performance this season will not help. Because the 32-year-old Durant led the Nets to stop in the second round, and the 36-year-old James led the Lakers to stop in the first round, but the 32-year-old James can lead the team to the playoffs and lead the team to the Finals, while the current Durant can't.
