Media person: I am most surprised by the decline in KD’s influence on the game. I bought you just to let you do offense.

November 22nd, in the NBA Cup group match, the Rockets lost to the Nuggets 109-112 at home.

Zhu Yipeng, executive editor of Yang Kan, commented on this. The original text is as follows:

The second game so far this season that has truly reached the intensity of the playoffs. Judging from the content of the game, Shen Jing may have been the main reason for the loss, but what surprised me most was the degree to which Durant's influence on the game declined - he only made 1 of 7 shots in the second half.

Of course, the Rockets' offensive development environment and difficulty are there, and I have lowered my expectations for a 37-year-old player. But since you are Kevin Durant, the Rockets bought you to do this job. You have to find a way to do this job well no matter what, otherwise this team will not be successful.

In this game, Durant performed poorly and his offensive efficiency was very low. In 35 minutes, he made 5 of 14 shots, 1 of 5 three-pointers, and 2 of 3 free throws. He only scored 13 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block.
