The showdown between James and Durant has always attracted much attention in the past decade. Whether in the regular season or the playoffs, the two's confrontation is comparable to Mars hitting the Earth, which is incomparable. So, if James and Durant play a one-on-one singles match, who will win? Regarding this issue, legendary coach "Zen Master" Phil Jackson gave his opinion.

In an interview program, the Zen master was asked "Who is stronger in Zhandu 1V1", and he believed that James would win the showdown to a large extent.

Zen Master said: "LeBron is full of strength, he is good at taking advantage of this. He will use his physical advantage to surpass his opponents, which is almost unstoppable. Durant is an epoch-making player and his shooting ability is excellent. But in my opinion, LeBron is a little stronger because his strength is too strong. If he plays KD in a low post, he may win this game."

If you look at physical talent and technical style, James and Durant have their own advantages. As we all know, James has top athlete abilities and explosive power, and his body is like a Hulk, which is almost a heavy tank with a sports car engine. It is no exaggeration to say that no one can stop James from breaking through and back-attacking at the peak, which is why Zen masters are more optimistic about James. In comparison, Durant is obviously better in height and wingspan, with a height of 2.11 meters and 2.26 meters, to put it bluntly, the center figure. In addition, Durant also has ball control skills comparable to defenders and top shooting ability. This advantage allows him to form misaligned singles on the offensive end, no matter who faces anyone. It is better than him than him than him, and faster than him than him. In the training match of the Dream Team that year, Durant beat all the superstars one by one. The views of Zen Master

Zen Master have sparked widespread discussion among netizens, and many netizens expressed their agreement with the Zen Master, believing that James' strength advantage is crucial in a one-on-one challenge. A netizen left a message: "James' strength is indeed too strong, and Durant is no opponent in strength at all. If James beats Durant from a low post, Durant is likely to be pushed directly and cannot effectively defend." Another netizen said: "Although Durant's shooting is very accurate, in a one-on-one challenge, James' strength and comprehensiveness will give him more advantage."

Of course, some netizens also hold different views. They believe that Durant's shooting ability and height advantages should not be underestimated. One netizen wrote: "Durant's shooting is too unsolvable. His height and wingspan allow him to easily hit the ball over James' head. Moreover, Durant's ball control skills are also excellent. He can use fake moves and change directions to break through James' defense." Another netizen said: "The single-handed game is full of uncertainty. Durant's explosive scoring may allow him to widen the gap in a short period of time to win the game."

In summary, in a 1-on-1 single-handed game, James wins in a strength confrontation, while Durant has more comprehensive skills. In this regard, I wonder who thinks that Zhan Du’s one-on-one match will win?
