If anyone mentions Kevin Durant, everyone's first reaction is the basketball star of the NBA.
In the 2007 NBA draft, Durant was selected by the Seattle SuperSonics with the second pick in the first round (the predecessor of the Oklahoma Thunder), and the reason why Durant was only the second pick was just a role model, because there was an inner talent named Grant Auden who also participated in the draft that year, although he was injured, he could still single-handedly beat Noah and Horford in the same year, showing unparalleled interior dominance in the NCAA League, and the talent of the explosion was visible to the naked eye. That is to say, there were two types of people in that year's draft, one was Auden, and the other was someone other than Auden, and Durant belonged to the latter, even though Durant's talent was relatively outstanding among the remaining draft drafts, and Auden's ability was undoubtedly far beyond the level of the latter. China's basketball player Yi Jianlian also participated in that year's draft and was selected by the Bucks with the 6th pick in the first round.
Of course, it is still the same recipe, or a familiar taste, due to the supersonic team of that year, although the team has a lot of high-pick picks and high-quality rookies, it cannot form an instant battle in a short period of time, and can only give Durant unlimited fire rights to cultivate this rookie. Durant also lived up to expectations, and after playing countless irons in his rookie season, he quickly became the top scorer in the league and won 4 scoring championships in 5 years (it is said that once Durant deliberately released water to let the old "melon" Anthony win a scoring king). It seems that if you want to become a first-class scorer on the team, you must not only have the potential itself, but also have to hone your skills in a team with a bad record to grow. In the following year, the team selected Russell Westbrook and relocated the venue to Ohira Homer to change the name to thunder, and in the following years, a number of high-quality rookies including Ibaka and James Harden were selected, making a fortune in silence and reaching the finals in 2012. Unfortunately, Ohira Homer Temple can not hold so many big Buddhas, the current Thunder team has achieved fruitful results because they have hoarded a lot of draft picks through the early years of the spoils and hoarded to cultivate a lot of excellent rookie players, because the rookie players are comparable to the "child labor" Rookie contract expires, many rookie players ask for a contract that matches their abilities after the price. Unfortunately, because the Thunder is a small ball market, can not meet the asking price of the players, the Thunder management at this time of the belt chaos, there was a faint move to let go of one after another of their own cultivated excellent players, resulting in the team's competitiveness and combat effectiveness declining year by year, and finally due to the gradual departure from the road to winning the championship, the reasons for the takeaway contract, the "Thunder Four Less" of the year gradually all gone, known as the NBA version of the "Whampoa Military Academy" Of the Thunder team pushed many high-quality players who were in the year of play to be signed by other teams in the free trading market And finally became a fish belly team again. Of course, the last straw that crushed the Thunder was the "Durant Pitching Incident" in 2016, when the Thunder in the Western Conference Finals were won by the Golden State Warriors in three consecutive sets to enter the Finals and won the championship that year, Durant was not thinking about how to strengthen the horse team at the end of the season to defeat the Warriors next time, but left his parent team Thunder to turn around and sign with the Warrior Warriors! LeBron James in order to win the championship to play brother basketball and "I can't beat you I call the brothers to destroy you" thinking, Durant is directly "I can't beat you I will directly join you", and then the Warriors shamelessly won two championships in four years and four finals and won two FMVP, using this means to win the championship and FMVP not only greatly reduce the difficulty of obtaining such awards, but also greatly reduce the gold content. It is not known whether Durant at that time drank the bath water of his favorite goddess "Black Widow" Scarlett.
To this day, Durant has played a price, even if he is fractured and seriously injured for the whole season can not participate in the war, there are teams that sincerely offer a high salary to sign with him, after all, Durant is guaranteed in the team's record, box office revenue is guaranteed. On the contrary, Auden, who once had the strength to carry the crowd to the ground and rub it, could not be cured due to the long-term injury problem, and has now faded out of the NBA league and disappeared from people's vision, even if there is no contrast, there is no harm.
