The Rockets former player talks about Durant: He easily scored 25 points per game, and he is stronger in the fourth quarter! He can only double-team him with two players

The Rockets can be said to make up for whatever they lack during the offseason. Last season, their rebounding ability and defensive ability were at the top level in the league, but their three-point shooting and overall offensive strength were still slightly worse. Although the Rockets are fourth in the regular season league and second in the Western Conference, such good results are often achieved through strong defensive ability and rebounding performance, and the Rockets have no backbone at all on the offensive end. Players such as Jaylen Green, VanVleet, Shin Kyung, Amen, and even Dillon Brooks, score more points and shoot more when they feel better.

The Rockets have different players with the highest score in almost every game, which is the advantage of the Rockets. After all, this means that the Rockets' team basketball is difficult to defend, but in the playoffs, the Rockets' offensive system is easy to be silent, especially when they are strictly guarded by the opponent. The Rockets do not have the superstar with offensive deficit ability, which is why the Rockets eventually lose to the Warriors.

Now Durant is here. Last season, Durant averaged 26 points, 4 assists, 6 rebounds and 1 block for the Suns, with a three-point shooting percentage of more than 40% and a shooting percentage of more than 50%. He is also recognized as one of the best shooters and super scorers in the league. Although the Rockets' former starting point guard and defensive gate Beverly has bid farewell to the league for many years, he sincerely admires Durant. After all, Beverly had many matches with Durant when he was with the Rockets and the Thunder. Whether in the Rockets or later the Clippers and Lakers, Beverly regarded Durant as one of the best scorers.

In a show, "Black Bay" also talked about the Rockets' superstar Durant. He showed up directly and said that no matter what, Durant can score 25 points at any time. This is not a problem for who is adapting to whom. Durant can always play in the right way. In the 4th quarter, he will play better and be more aggressive on the offensive end. In the past, his opponents always had to double-team him. Beverly said that when they played against Durant, they just didn't let him hold the ball and would always double-team defend him, but obviously, the double-team attack at Durant at that time did not have a good effect.

We still remember that in the 2017-2018 NBA Western Conference Finals, Rockets coach D'Antoni saw Durant seeking his offensive end and entering a no-man's realm. Many defensive players changed to defend Durant, such as the Rockets' ace peak Ariza at that time, as well as their forwards Tucker and Bamott, and even veteran center Nene defended Durant alone, but no matter who was changing to defend, Durant could always hit a mid-range shot and three-pointer steadily, and these players of the Rockets couldn't defend at all. Once Durant is double-teamed, Curry and Klay Thompson will punish the Rockets with three-pointers, which is why the Rockets have been unable to defeat the Warriors!

Beverly was also one of the few defensive players in the league back then. His style of play was both steady and fierce, and he spared no effort to fight against his opponents on the defensive end. Star defenders like Lillard and Westbrook had suffered, but Beverly could not defend Durant at all. He personally admitted that Durant could easily score 25 points in each game and would become stronger in the fourth quarter.

So the Rockets have now got Durant. Although they are a 36-year-old veteran, the Rockets still find the right person because their weakest link is scoring. Durant is here, and the Rockets have no shortcomings.
