The Obvious Gap in Offense and Defense!

The Gap on Both Ends Was Obvious! Durant Couldn't Guard Su Yan, Nor Could He Score on Him.

When Su Yan guarded Durant, he stopped him every time, leaving him speechless.

The difference between their offense and defense showed itself in an instant.

The key was... Durant had performed extremely well against the Knicks' other players, such as Curry and George.

That was entirely scoring-champion-level play.

But the moment he faced Su Yan, he immediately became unable to score.

That feeling was truly awful.

It made Durant even less able to accept it.

Su Yan could stop him once, twice, or even three times.

But he couldn't keep getting stopped.

If Durant could also shut down Su Yan's offense on the defensive end, leaving neither of them able to score on the other, then that situation would still be acceptable.

But now, Durant was completely unable to score on one end and unable to defend on the other.

In their matchup, Su Yan held all the advantages.

He could be the Current #1 Player, but the gap between Durant and him shouldn't have been this large.

The wider the gap, the harder it was for Durant to accept.

"Impossible. I don't believe it. There's no way I can't score even a single point on him!!!"

Durant gritted his teeth.

His emotions were getting the better of him as well. He took the ball again and went straight at Su Yan.

But Durant's frustration was different from Westbrook's.

In this situation, the outcome depended on a head-to-head clash between the two teams' absolute cores.

Over the past few possessions, Durant had played poorly. If he gave up now, started calling for screens, and avoided Su Yan to attack, the Thunder's morale would collapse.

And this was the Knicks' home court.
