The Rockets defeated the Jazz 140-127 at home. Durant scored 20 points on 7-for-10 shooting in his debut.

In the past with the Suns, Durant usually had to initiate the offense himself, or he was the main one holding the ball, and he was also the one protecting the frame on defense. His 37-year-old age sometimes caused him to be overwhelmed in the late stages of the game. However, although the Rockets did not have a defender in the first game of their debut, Shen Jing was responsible for part of the organizational work, resulting in KD playing 20 minutes very efficiently and easily.

The ball-holding offense is still sophisticated, turning back and throwing in the paint area

After receiving the hand-to-hand pass from Shen Jing, he came to his favorite offensive area and directly smashed the frame and dunked

This is a partial cooperation of two people in a round. Durant first circled the pile to receive the handoff from Shen Jing, and then used Shen Jing's screen to break through

. He dunked in the bottom corner, received Amen's pass, and made a pull-up jumper. This position is for Adu to score points

Shen Jing holds the ball and Adu covers the ball because the Jazz's defenders are unclear about switching defenses. As a result, Durant made a wide open three-pointer

Durant demonstrated his stable scoring ability and comprehensiveness on the offensive end. For the Rockets, who were struggling at critical moments last season, his ability to solve the problem was very thirsty. After returning to the small forward position, he complemented these young players.

How do you think Durant will perform in the new season?
