Convinced oral? 76ers stars take the initiative to showdown: All players at No. 3, Rockets forwards are the most difficult to defend against

Jaylen Green was sent away by the Rockets. I have to say that the Rockets had no choice but to do so. In order to get Durant, the Rockets took the initiative to send Jaylen Green and Dillon Brooks to start, as well as 5 second round picks and 1 first round pick. The first round pick was honored as rookie center Maruacchi. It is expected that Maruacchi will become the starting center of the rebuilt Suns team next season. With Booker, Dillon and Jaylen Green, the starting lineup of the Suns next season is actually not weak.

If you change to the Eastern Conference, the Suns should have no problem entering the playoffs. After all, Booker is the best shooting guard in the league; Jaylen Green and Dillon are the Rockets' absolute starters last season. Both of them are the second starters in the West, so their strength will naturally not be weak.

However, the Rockets want a championship, and their appetite will definitely not be satisfied with entering the playoffs. If they only want to enter the playoffs, the Rockets don't need a trade at all. Getting Durant is a concentrated reflection of the Rockets' ambitions. They want to upgrade their outside scoring ability to compete for the championship. Coupled with several defensive new players from the Rockets Capela, Okogi and Finney Smith, the team will become one of the most stable teams in the West next season. Although Durant is almost 37 years old, he is still a superstar and top scorer in the league. Last season with the Suns, although Durant averaged 26 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block per game, the Suns' overall strength is not good. Although they have three giants, the chemistry of the three giants is quite average. Now that Durant has come to the Rockets, his advantages of strong scoring ability and high scoring efficiency can be better utilized. Durant not only scores a lot, but more importantly, his scoring efficiency and shooting percentage are very high, which can attract Rockets coach Uduka. It was Uduka who took the initiative to ask Manager Stone for Durant from him, so the Rockets completed such a deal.

So how strong is Durant? Philadelphia 76ers All-Star guard Maxi also took the initiative to mention Durant. In a show, Maxi named the most difficult players to defend at every position in active service, including Jokic and Embiid, the power forward position is Antetokounmpo, the two defenders are Curry and Edwards, and the No. 3 position is the small forward position, naturally the Rockets star forward Kevin Durant. So in the eyes of Maxi, the All-Star point guard, the Rockets' Durant is the hardest player to defend at the No. 3 position.

Durant's personal offensive firepower is by no means reflected in just averaging 26 points last season. It can be seen that Maxi is really convinced by the old superstar Durant. After all, when Durant was playing against the Rockets at his peak, Rockets coach D'Antoni used many players to defend Durant in a playoff game, such as Ariza, Bamott, and even the power forward Tucker at the time, but no one could defend Durant's shooting and scoring.

Although Durant is a few years older, his personal ability has not declined much. Among all the players at No. 3, it is obvious that Durant of the Rockets is the most difficult to defend, and he is also the small forward with the strongest offensive ability.
