[花邊] KD回應Green質疑其贏得NBA冠軍的看法

The former teammates, who played together on the Warriors, recently engaged in a back-and-forth after Draymond Green seemingly dissed Kevin Durant’s take on scoring being more important to win championships. In a recent interview with The Athletic, Green addressed folks who believe that defense does not play a role in winning championships. Draymond: “Those who don’t believe defense is as valuable as it is simply just don’t win. I don’t think anyone’s ever really been hell-bent on caring about the opinion of those that don’t win, because your opinion equals zero.” Reporter: “So I hear you, but Kevin has won.” Draymond: “He won here, (and) the defense here was…” Reporter: “It was incredible.” Draymond: “Absolutely.” Durant saw this exchange on social media and coldly pointed to facts that showed offense was the bigger focal point when the Warriors had their back-to-back championships. “And the offense was????” wrote a puzzled Durant on X. The Warriors’ offense was first in the league while their defense wasn’t even top-10 in the league during the 2017 and 2018 championship runs. In fact, neither the Cavaliers nor the Warriors were a top-10 defensive team in the league in those years. In essence, there seems to have been a misunderstanding of words somewhere. Durant never said offense was the only important thing in winning championships. However, Green seems to have understood that he felt defense has no role in winning a championship. 這兩位曾在金州勇士隊並肩作戰的前隊友，近期再度展開言論攻防。起因是Green似乎在 暗諷Durant「進攻對於奪冠更重要」的觀點，而再次隔空交火。 在近期接受《The Athletic》採訪時，Green針對「認為防守對奪冠毫無作用」的說法表 達了看法。 Green：「那些不認同防守價值的人，根本無法贏得比賽。我想從來沒有人會去在乎那些 從來沒贏過的人的意見，因為你的意見等於零。」 記者：「我明白你的意思，但Durant確實拿過冠軍。」 Green：「他的冠軍是在這裡（勇士隊）贏的，而這裡的防守可是……」 記者：「相當出色。」 Green：「毫無疑問。」 Durant透過社群媒體X看到這段對話後，冷靜列舉事實反駁，指出勇士隊完成兩連冠時， 球隊的重心其實更傾向進攻。 Durant在X上困惑地寫道：「那當時的進攻表現又怎麼說？」 事實上，在2017年與2018年勇士隊奪冠的賽季中，球隊的進攻效率高居聯盟第一，防守效 率卻連聯盟前十都未進。更值得一提的是，那兩年無論是勇士隊還是其總決賽對手騎士隊 ，都未進入聯盟防守前十。 實質上，這場爭議似乎源於雙方對話中的語義誤解。Durant從未主張「進攻是奪冠的唯一 」，但Green卻將其理解為「Durant認為防守對奪冠毫無作用」。 “They understand what I’m saying, but people purposely take my words outta context, you know mfers just wanna dunk on me lol,” wrote Durant on X while acknowledging that this is a misunderstanding, clearly. “They take offense to everything I say. How ironic,” he further added. “I can feel the jealousy and insecurity through your burner account,” said the Rockets’ superstar when a fan criticized him for saying offense is more important than defense. If you assign weightage to both things, Durant may have said offense is 70% important, implying defense is still 30% needed to get the win, or even a 60-40 split. But Green seems to believe that Durant thinks defense has no contribution in winning championships (i.e 0% value), which is far from the truth. Eddie Gonzalez, a close friend of Durant’s, believes that Draymond Green only reacted due to his second nature of needing to respond when being baited by reporters, calling out his desire to replace Charles Barkley in the media. Durant has, on multiple occasions, acknowledged that defense is important as well, giving flowers to Draymond Green for his contributions, but offense is just more important in his opinion. Durant在X上明確點出這場誤會，他寫：「他們其實懂我想表達的意思，但總有人故意斷 章取義。要知道這些人就是想找機會噴我罷了，哈哈。」 他補充：「我說的每句話都會被他們挑毛病，太諷刺了。」 若要為兩者的重要性賦予權重，Durant的觀點是「進攻占70%」這意味著防守仍占30%的奪 冠要素，甚至可能是「60%進攻、40%防守」。但Green似乎誤以為Durant認為「防守對奪 冠毫無貢獻」，而這與Durant的真實想法相去甚遠。 Durant的好友Eddie Gonzalez認為，Green之所以有這樣的反應，源於他的「本能」當被 記者引導時，他總是習慣回應。Eddie Gonzalez還指出，Green渴望在媒體領域取代 Charles Barkley的地位。事實上，Durant曾多次認可防守的重要性，也大力讚賞過Green 在防守端的貢獻，他僅是認為「進攻在奪冠中占據更重要的地位」。 來源:https://reurl.cc/8bnE6R
