How to effectively limit Durant s scoring

With his shortness and Kebi's strength, suppressing Adu's dribbling rhythm is a big way to limit his scoring.

Durant's scoring ability is undoubted, as if Adu was born to score! Do you still remember the life-killing three-pointers in the Riders battle? Remember the key three-pointer Durant hit in front of James at the critical moment?

So, the question is, as Durant's opponent, how to limit Adu's scoring?

Let's start with the analysisThe reason for Durant's high scoring ability.

First of all, Durant's strongest offensive means is shooting, when he first entered the league, he played defense, and later was put in the No. 3 position by the head coach and took off in a straight line. The average No. 3 is not as tall as him, and there is no way to seal his shooting point, and with his skills of running off the ball, changing direction in a large early position, and going heads-up in the low post, he can also take the lead in offensive areas other than shooting. And when the second and fourth positions are in line with him, the difference in dislocation is even greater.

Then,His shooting is characteristic, coming up from the left side instead of his chest, but his shot is high and fast, few people can help him. 12 years later, he will also have the driver's golden rooster independence, although his shooting arc is not as high as the driver, but all this does not prevent his crosshairs.

In the face of such a big killer, how should other teams try to limit him?

1.You have to defend it with your body, not with your arms.

Durant is a very good player at making opponents foul, his deadly long arms and standing tall make it very difficult for defenders to defend, so you must try to avoid using your arms to block Durant's forward path or shooting space to avoid being fouled.

2. Supplemental prevention should be timely.

There are definitely no more than 3 people who can do one-on-one death prevention Durant in today's league, so the teammates' defense must be timely! Be sure to see Durant's breakthrough route, form a bag in time, and force Durant to make a reluctant shot or be forced to pass.

3. Don't give Durant too much dribbling rhythm.

Durant likes to find rhythm for his shooting through blocking and dribbling, his pull-up jump shot is already a bit hot, and the shot is fast, the shot point is relatively high, once he dribbles to his favorite rhythm will immediately shoot, at this time it is almost impossible to stop him, so you must keep disrupting his rhythm when he dribbles or just holds the ball, do not let him dribble comfortably, disrupt his pace.

Who is the player who can limit Durant? That's Westbrook, who is on the same team as Durant! What does this stalk mean, fans must know it, and this also reflects from the side, Durant's scoring ability is really inexplicable!

Summary] The Bucks lost 94-108 at home today, and after the game, Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo talked about what he learned from his game against Kevin Durant over the years.

1.It's a shame that the Bucks still couldn't beat the Warriors. And the Warriors Durant also got 26 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists in this game, which seems to be not much of a gap between the two compared with the data of Brother Alphabet.

But when it comes to ability, it's clear that Brother Alphabet is still inferior, especially in terms of shooting ability and tandem teams. And in the latest MVP, Adu also ranked first and continued to lead! Adu's personal ability and ability to lead the team can be seen!

2.As for the counterpoint between the two, Durant and Brother Alphabet both showed their admiration for each other! Durant said

Playing against guys like this will improve your defense and help you become a better player. And Brother Alphabet also said that he can't prevent Durant, Brother Alphabet: When you face a guy like Durant, you have to do your best to make it difficult for his game!

It's not easy to defend him, he's aggressive and I want to play like him!

"When you defend a player like Durant, you have to do everything you can to make things difficult for their game. He's going to take 20 shots, he's going to play his game well. On the pitch against guys like that, you just have to make it as tough as possible.

You can't stop them. That's one thing I've learned. Again, it will be very difficult to defend against them.

They would try to make my job much harder. So, KD played aggressively all night, and the lesson I learned was to go ahead and play the same aggressive game.

Who can guard against Durant? The topic is interesting, in my opinionA superstar who can be prevented cannot be called a superstar, it can only be said that he can prevent him from scoring less, but a star of Durant's level, who can prevent him from scoring only 20 points a game and the shooting rate drops to 40 percent is very successful, let's take a look at how to effectively limit Durant.

First, let's take a look at why Durant's scoring ability is so good

Durant has a unique physical advantage11cm tall and 228cm reach, thin body, but not afraid of any physical confrontation, and often hit a shot or layup when the body is out of balance, sometimes even 7 feet apart to complete a dunk.

And Durant has guard-like disguise and luck ability, often able to play shorter opponents than themselves in the game, which is a rare sight in basketball gamesAnd his shooting point is so high that basically no one can block it

How can you effectively organize Durant to score?

Anti-catch

Durant is very good at one-on-one singles, and it can be said that no one in the active NBA can limit Durant's scoring one-on-one, so he must be prevented from receiving the ballBut a player like Durant can't prevent him from receiving the ball, so he can only give him some strong physical confrontation before he receives the ball, so that he can get the ball uncomfortably, so that it may affect his next shot

Anyone who has played knows that to defend a thin person like Durant, you need to use your body to defend him, give him high-intensity physical confrontation, and deform his shooting movements and technical movementsIn this way, he can be effectively stopped.

But the Warriors don't have a shortage of scorers, and if you spend 2-3 players to wrap up Durant, it's obviously more likely to make the game more spent

There are still a few players who are better at defending Durant on the current rosterSuch as Leonard of the Spurs, Brother Alphabet of the Bucks, and Allen Sr., these can all defend against Adu

Summary. It is impossible to guard Durant 100%, and only by relying on the team's assistance can Durant be limited to a lower score, but there are very few teams that can guard Durant.

The above content refers to the Encyclopedia-NBA Active Scoring List.

As of January 2021, Durant's NBA career total has reached 23,336 points, surpassing Robert "Chief" Parrish (23,334 points) and rising to 27th on the NBA all-time scoring list, ahead of him is Barkley (23,757 points).

As of February 2021, James' current NBA career total has reached 35,000 points, ranking third all-time. The stats show that it took him just 1,295 races to achieve this feat. James ranks third all-time in scoring, ahead of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar with 38,387 and Karl Malone with 36,928.

Judging from James' current form, two seasons later, James has a good chance of becoming the NBA's all-time scoring leader. And Durant is still more than 10,000 points away from James' total score, and after a major injury with a ruptured Achilles tendon, Durant is now 32 years old, and it is almost impossible to surpass James.

First of all, we must admit that there are super many breakups like Durant, and it is impossible to completely limit them. The only thing that can be done is to reduce Durant's threat on the offensive end as much as possible and reduce his offensive efficiency. If we look at NBA history, which players are most likely to limit Durant well?

Garnett. Garnett's height and reach length are both greater than Durant's, and Garnett was fast and explosive when he was younger, as well as stronger than Durant in strength and endurance. Garnett can compete with Durant in terms of physical fitness, Garnett's defense is famous for his strong defensive ability, and his single defense ability is also extremely strong.

Garnett's biggest fear is the kind of burly muscular interior lineman, but he has a knack for dealing with tall and thin players. Garnett's height and reach when defending Durant are not at a loss, compared to Durant's attempt to break through Garnett's blockade.

Pippen. As one of the most versatile small forwards, Pippen's greatest strength is his defensive attributes. He's adept at using his impressive reach to defend, and the Bulls' ability to build a dynasty has a lot to do with Pippen's tough defense.

Everyone knows that although Durant has explosive scoring power, his physical fitness has always been one of his major weaknesses. Pippen can use more physical contact to drain Durant's physical energy, just like Payton used to defend Jordan back then. If the '90s allowed for high-intensity matchups, Pippen would certainly be a good limit to Durant's power on the offensive end.

Wei Shao. We have talked about the most likely and best player to defend Durant, but it is not necessarily the one who can completely limit Durant, but it is the one who can limit Durant's offense. Can you imagine a team that organizes guards to take more shots than the team's leading scorer?

Wei Shao did it. Since the beginning of the 2010 season, Wei Shao's shots have been almost the same as Dulanke's, and the number of shots in two seasons has even surpassed Durant's, but his shooting percentage and efficiency are far inferior to Durant's, which makes Durant's threat on the offensive end greatly reduced.

In the league, almost all of the big centers are close to Durant's stature, and the alphabet brother who is similar in size and flexibility is counted as one. With a height of 2.11 meters and an arm span of 2.24 meters, he is one of the few players who can match Durant. With his strong physical fitness, he can interfere with Durant to a certain extent.

I think Harden is better at limiting Durant's scoring, because the two of them are evenly matched, and if they were on the same court, the two of them would definitely face each other.

I think it's Brother Alphabet, because Brother Alphabet is about the same height as him, and his flexibility is similar.

The NBA playoffs semifinals are in full swing. Under Durant's leadership, the Warriors narrowly defeated the Rockets 104-100, and Durant scored 35 points. Remember the series against the Clippers in the first round of the Warriors playoffs, Durant scored 45 points in G5 and 50 points in G6.

So far in the playoffs this season, Durant has averaged 35 points, rebounds and 5 assists per game, shooting percentage, shooting percentage. It is important to know that Durant averaged only 26 points per game in the regular season, but in the playoffs, Kevin Durant seemed to pick up the scythe of death, playing dead in the regular season and resurrecting in the playoffs, which became a true portrayal of Kevin Durant.

The Clippers and Rockets are both excellent defensive teams in the league, and in the face of Durant, they will not only use their own team's defensive experts to mark and defend, such as the Clippers using Beverley, the Rockets using PJ Tucker to interfere with Durant, but also using various packages to limit, but no matter what method is used, it is useless. After the game between the Warriors and the Rockets, reporters asked Rockets coach D'Antoni how to defend Durant. D'Antoni said

If anyone knows the answer, they can email me. I don't think anyone in the world knows the answer. He is one of the best players in history.

So how do we defend Durant to best limit Durant?

Let's talk about Durant's physical fitness first. Durant's height has been an unsolved mystery. The official stats are meters, but Durant is significantly about the same height when standing with Cousins or Jordan.

Durant is one such monster. He has interior height, can handle the ball, break through, shoot, play, defend, bounce, speed. If you're tall, Durant's disguise directly keeps you from finding North.

Kobe Bryant said in an interview: "I didn't know how to defend Kevin Durant until I retired. "You can imagine how hard it is to defend Durant.

Of course, Durant's most successful defense in the playoffs this season is Beverley. The height is not enough to make up. Beverley certainly isn't the best player, but he's certainly the hardest working player.

Before the Warriors and Clippers series. In the two games, Beverley's hard-working bubbles made Durant have a problem with his mentality, frequently angered Durant, and let Durant grab two more series, and Beverley was both sent off. Beverley's "singles swap" Durant definitely is.

Or you do the same thing on the offensive end the way Harden does, swap for Durant, and that's one time. Of course, if you can get Green and Durant to fight again, kill each other, and make a mess of the Warriors, then I can only admire you as the reincarnation of Kong Ming and Zhou Yu. Since the playoffs, no player has been able to really restrain Durant.

If you were the coach of the team, what would you do in the next game?
