Kuzma talks about guarding Durant: Don t let him find a comfortable shooting point, force him to go to the basket

Hupu News November 10th Today’s NBA regular season Bucks home game against the Rockets has ended. At the end of the game, the Bucks lost to the Rockets 115-122.

Kyle Kuzma played 30 minutes as a substitute in this game. He made 4 of 7 shots, 3 of 6 three-pointers, and contributed 11 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist, and 1 block.

After the game, Kuzma accepted an interview with reporters. Reporter: Today you are mainly responsible for defending Durant - he is one of the best offensive players in history. Faced with such a matchup, what do you pay special attention to when defending?

Kuzma: The main thing is not to let him find the angle easily. He is actually one of my favorite players before I entered the league, so I have watched him play for a long time.

I just try not to let him find a comfortable shooting point and force him to go to the basket. He's not the type to get to the basket and finish very often - mostly because he doesn't need to. As long as he pushes up a little and squeezes into position, he can score a mid-range shot. So I will try to push him into areas where he is not so comfortable because he is so comprehensive and so skilled.
