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. 这两位曾在金州勇士队并肩作战的前队友，近期再度展开言论攻防。起因是Green似乎在 暗讽Durant「进攻对於夺冠更重要」的观点，而再次隔空交火。 在近期接受《The Athletic》采访时，Green针对「认为防守对夺冠毫无作用」的说法表 达了看法。 Green：「那些不认同防守价值的人，根本无法赢得比赛。我想从来没有人会去在乎那些 从来没赢过的人的意见，因为你的意见等於零。」 记者：「我明白你的意思，但Durant确实拿过冠军。」 Green：「他的冠军是在这里（勇士队）赢的，而这里的防守可是……」 记者：「相当出色。」 Green：「毫无疑问。」 Durant透过社群媒体X看到这段对话後，冷静列举事实反驳，指出勇士队完成两连冠时， 球队的重心其实更倾向进攻。 Durant在X上困惑地写道：「那当时的进攻表现又怎麽说？」 事实上，在2017年与2018年勇士队夺冠的赛季中，球队的进攻效率高居联盟第一，防守效 率却连联盟前十都未进。更值得一提的是，那两年无论是勇士队还是其总决赛对手骑士队 ，都未进入联盟防守前十。 实质上，这场争议似乎源於双方对话中的语义误解。Durant从未主张「进攻是夺冠的唯一 」，但Green却将其理解为「Durant认为防守对夺冠毫无作用」。 “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上明确点出这场误会，他写：「他们其实懂我想表达的意思，但总有人故意断 章取义。要知道这些人就是想找机会喷我罢了，哈哈。」 他补充：「我说的每句话都会被他们挑毛病，太讽刺了。」 若要为两者的重要性赋予权重，Durant的观点是「进攻占70%」这意味着防守仍占30%的夺 冠要素，甚至可能是「60%进攻、40%防守」。但Green似乎误以为Durant认为「防守对夺 冠毫无贡献」，而这与Durant的真实想法相去甚远。 Durant的好友Eddie Gonzalez认为，Green之所以有这样的反应，源於他的「本能」当被 记者引导时，他总是习惯回应。Eddie Gonzalez还指出，Green渴望在媒体领域取代 Charles Barkley的地位。事实上，Durant曾多次认可防守的重要性，也大力赞赏过Green 在防守端的贡献，他仅是认为「进攻在夺冠中占据更重要的地位」。 来源:https://reurl.cc/8bnE6R --
