Spoelstra, seeing the situation, replaced Durant and pulled him off the court to calm down.
After returning to the bench, Durant's emotions had not yet stabilized, and when he took the towel from Uncle Hao, he immediately threw it onto the floor.
Back then, when James was only able to resort to giving up defense and using fast breaks because of Hansen's defense, he faced sneering and mocking from a lot of fans.
Durant was one of those "fans".
Due to his feud with James, he naturally used a burner account to go to the games.
But now, actually facing Hansen's close defense, he realized that James's struggle previously was not just because he was weak.
Ultimately, under Hansen's SVIP-like close defense, Durant only managed 16 points from 17 shots, making only 6.
Among fans, there's a term called "pure points", which refers to the average points scored excluding free throws.
Tonight, Durant only had 6 free throws and made 4 of them.
