KD: Our advantage is whether we can be big or small, but when to use which lineup is a test for the coach.
6686 Sports October 25th In the NBA regular season, the Rockets lost to the Pistons 111-115 and suffered a 2-game losing streak.
Durant performed well in this game but failed to lead the team to victory. In the whole game, he made 9 of 18 shots, 3 of 3 three-pointers, 16 of 18 free throws, and scored 37 points and 3 rebounds. After the game, he was interviewed.
Reporter: "Do you think the offense sometimes performs better in a more traditional single inside lineup, and the defensive end is better in a two-tower lineup, how to find that optimal balance?"
Durant: "That's why coaches get paid high salaries. You know, they have to make those tough decisions. It's good to have a team that can put out a variety of lineups, but knowing when to put different lineups on the court is the key." This is the toughest job for a coach. So we will remain patient, continue to develop, and keep exploring. Although we have given the opponent a lot of frontcourt rebounds, they have been clinging to the score. We have increased the pressure on the outside, so we need more rotations in the backcourt. But I like the intensity we show throughout the game, and our offense will get better and better."
Reporter: "How do you balance the two aspects. : On the one hand, you want to take over the game, especially when the score is tight in the fourth quarter; on the other hand, you want to get your teammates more involved?"
"Yes, it requires balance. I played very aggressively in the fourth quarter and made them want to double-team me. I think we got some good shots because of it. So I think we forced them to use double-teaming, and we will continue to play this kind of collaboration in the future." uote>Reporter: "It's been two consecutive losses, and I feel like you are very close to winning."
Durant: "Yes, I think adversity is obviously difficult. Losing is really uncomfortable, but it will make us stronger. The coaching staff is very angry, the players are also very angry, and we all want better results. And the season has just begun. So, I feel good to have this kind of fighting spirit, and I like everyone to walk into the arena with this kind of energy."
