Durant personally certified! Tokyo Olympics has become a favorite in life, three legendary data has never been seen before

When fans were hotly discussing the 2024 Paris Dream Team lineup, superstar Kevin Durant, who was just traded to the Houston Rockets, gave an unexpected answer on social platforms. When netizens raised the question of "which Olympic Games is the most memorable", Durant responded firmly: "There is no disrespect for other sessions, but the 2021 Tokyo Olympics is the best Olympic Games I have ever participated in! "

Tokyo's Gods: The Absolute King in Adversity

Durant's praise for the Tokyo Olympics is by no means empty talk. He created this legend with his epic performance. In the Tokyo arena shrouded in the shadow of the epidemic, he averaged 20.7 points, 5.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 52.9%, a three-point shooting percentage of 37.5%, and a real shooting percentage of 65.8%, which is a peak template for international efficiency.

The most shining moment belongs to the gold medal battle. Facing the French team led by Gobert, when the opponent counterattacked wildly in the final quarter, it was Durant who used cold-blooded jump shots to extinguish the counterattack flames. At the end of the game, he scored 29 points alone and became the decisive needle for the US men's basketball team to win 87-82. That night, he became the first player in the history of the American men's basketball team to score more than 100 points in the three Olympic Games (2012 London, 2016 Rio, and 2020 Tokyo), and his legendary status was frozen.

Why is Tokyo the most special? The multiple background colors behind Honor

Leadership: After the failure of the 2019 World Cup, the US men's basketball team urgently needs to regain its momentum. Durant carried the team as an undisputed core, from being almost eliminated in the group stage to a final reversal. He has always been the team's most reliable ending point and locker room leader.

Adversity tempered: empty-field battles, epidemic pressure, and doubts caused by strings of losses in warm-up matches... The Tokyo Olympics is full of unprecedented challenges. The value of this championship is particularly special under heavy pressure.

Peak of efficiency: while averaging 20+ points, maintaining the "180 Club" level efficiency (52.9% shot + 37.5% three-pointers + 90.5% free throws), perfectly interpreting the "God of Death"'s unsolvable dominance in the international arena.

Rockets' new chapter: The legend is still being written

Just as Durant recalled the glory of Tokyo affectionately, a new chapter of his career has begun. The Phoenix Suns reached a big deal with the Houston Rockets. In order to get the historic scorer, the Rockets paid the chips of Jaylen Green, Dillon Brooks, the No. 10 pick in the first round of 2025 and five future second-round picks. Joining the Rockets with young talent and salary flexibility, KD is expected to continue to release his scoring firepower in Space City.
