Durant continues to show outstanding scoring ability, and the Rockets rely significantly on offensive end

Although James has been with many teams, he has brought championships to the teams he plays for, which is also quite great in the entire NBA history. In this regard, fans are also criticizing Durant's ability, believing that after he left Curry, he still has not proved that he can lead another team to win the championship. But it is more or less unfair to demand and compare this way, because both sides have their own strengths, and Durant is not the same type of player as James from beginning to end, one is the general and the other is the commander.

As a handsome talent, Curry will also miss the championship in 2016. He must match the wings with balanced offense and defense to reach the top and win the championship, just like Barnes, Durant and Wiggins. The same is true for James. Although he plays versatilely, he also needs a group of shooters to display his top talent. Only by shooting in one star will he be like a fish in water.

After leaving the Warriors, Durant's Nets player configuration was also very good. In addition to attacking weapons like Durant and Irving, there are also large cores like Harden, as well as 3Ds such as Jeff Green and Bruce Brown, and Griffin and Clarkston in the interior. Unfortunately, he was ruined by injuries in 2021. Although Durant alone fought with the Bucks in seven semi-finals, it was all because Durant's foot was too long.

Later, everyone also saw that the disaster caused Xiao Wall, and the lineup would part in disagreement.

After coming to the Sun, I wonder if it was Durant's meaning or the management's arrangement? Originally, there were two super scorers Booker and Durant, and with teammates such as Paul and Ayton, the Suns had a chance to stand out in the West. But Ayton was still let go, and Paul was the main trade to Bill, who played similarly to Booker. The team lost the core of the organization and had no system in offense, and was more involved in singles from the Big Three.

The offense has no system, the defense performance is unstable, and the offense and defense are unbalanced. How can we strive for the championship?

Apparently, the Rockets saw Durant's ability, so they did not hesitate to get a scorer at this historical level through trade this summer offseason. Considering that he is already a 36-year-old veteran and cannot play an offensive and defensive performance like he did during the Warriors, the Rockets left a group of outstanding forward players to share Durant's defensive pressure. Furthermore, there are championship guards like Van Vreet and Shin Kyung, who has excellent organizational support skills, which can be used as a weakened version of Jokic.

This means that the Rockets' positioning of Durant is the key player at critical moments; it will only make him focus on scoring, and other tasks will be better allocated to his teammates. In the Rockets' system, Durant does not have to be both a father and a mother, and can fully exert his scoring talent to the extreme.

Many fans may be worried about the Rockets' lack of defenders, but what I want to say is that in addition to Van Vreet and Shin Kyung who can pass the ball, Durant is also an excellent passer. It is enough to be the third and fourth organization points. Furthermore, there are two defenders, Holiday and Shepard, in the lineup; when the Rockets are likely to win the game, they can use the remaining time to train the organizational ability of young defenders.

However, there is not much time left for Durant to win the championship. Apart from his 36-year-old age, the Rockets cannot give him a long-term maximum salary contract due to salary pressure.

If Durant doesn't win the championship this time, it's really unreasonable. Durant is the biggest star in this team, and he is definitely the No. 1 figure in the team. Furthermore, teammates in other positions in the lineup are also very good, and they can lead the Raptors to the championship like Leonard in 2019.

Whether

can completely get rid of the shadow of Green's formula depends on Durant's, the opportunity has been given.
