Breaking Green s formula by yourself? Chasing Dreams: Any basketball team in the world who gets Durant will be upgraded

This summer, Kevin Durant was traded from the Suns to the Houston Rockets in a big deal, and changed the team again.

Coming to the end of his career, Durant changed his team again, giving people a feeling of wandering.

Change teams every few years in his career, and Durant was also labeled as "the strongest mercenary in the NBA."

In fact, Durant didn't have to be so wandering. After joining the Warriors in 2016, he helped the Warriors, or joined forces with Curry, and won two championships. Originally, playing with the Warriors until they retired was a perfect result, except that they may have a slightly worse reputation.

But the problem is that the Warriors have a big mouth and a bully temper like Meng Green.

In 2018, Zhu Meng Green personally said the "Green Formula" that shocked the whole world. He angrily slandered Durant and said, "We will be the champion before you come." This sentence directly shattered Durant's sensitive heart and became the last straw for Durant to leave the Warriors later.

Years have passed, and the grudges between Green and Durant have been reasonably weakened.

However, now both of them have reached the end of their careers. Green is likely to become a commentator after retiring. He now often participates in some programs to express his own opinions and pave the way for future transformation as a commentator.

After Durant joined the Rockets, Zhu Meng Green talked about his views on Durant on the show.

Recently, Zhu Meng talked about Rockets on his podcast show.

Zhuangmeng said: "No matter who you are, when you have Durant, your lineup will be upgraded. Any basketball team in the world with Durant is upgraded. That is KD, and your lineup will be better with him... That's very interesting. I think the Rockets have a good situation, and they have definitely upgraded."

Zhuangmeng's words are like breaking the Green formula with his own hands. Because Green's formula itself is belittling and suppressing Durant, which means that you, Durant, is not that important. With you or without you, we are all a strong team. This shows that Durant is not valued, and believes that Durant is not enough to bring fundamental changes to a team.

But today, Green's comment on Durant was undoubtedly that he himself broke the Green's formula he had said at the beginning. This fully shows that after many years of the incident, Green has calmed down.

Will Green not know Durant's strength? As Durant's teammate, Green naturally knows how important the influence of Durant's team is.

He just wants to suppress Durant to protect his team's status. In fact, Green's goal was achieved. Later, Durant left, and Green himself renewed his many years of contract with the Warriors.

Now, there is no direct competitive interest relationship between Green and Durant, and Green can openly acknowledge Durant's strength.

Some people also said: Green's formula is right. Durant's ring is tightly closed. Before going to the Warriors, they are the champion, they still have the champion after leaving, but they don't have the champion after leaving, and when they leave, they also have the champion after leaving.

I do not agree with this view. The year before Durant went to the Warriors, the Warriors won 73 times but won the runner-up; after Durant joined, the Warriors immediately won two consecutive championships; after Durant left, the Warriors won the championship again after a few years; when it comes to Thunder, after Durant left, the Thunder won the championship, but this has happened many years ago. There are more than ten years apart, what does it have to do with Durant?

Even people like Zhui Meng Green who look down on Durant admits that Durant's joining the Rockets is a huge upgrade. What reason do we have to think that the Rockets made a loss-making deal?

I hope Durant can do something in the Rockets, and it's all done.
