Because Durant has a very good relationship with Owen and Jordan Jr., the three of them wanted to be partners very early. At that time, when Durant tore his achilles tendon, Owen was the only one who went to the hospital to visit Durant. You should know that Durant refused everyone's visit before. At that time, Durant also refused the Warriors' request to renew his contract, and Owen was unhappy in the Celtics. They hit it off and pulled Jordan Jr. together in the Nets.
In fact, Owen and Durant are somewhat similar in personality. They are both very sensitive people, and they are not good at communicating with others. They first met in the 211 season, but although the understanding relationship is not so iron, until 216, Durant joined the Warriors with 73 wins and once became a public enemy of the league, and media fans also criticized Durant.
In that case, Durant was also very lonely after being selected for the national team at that time. Only Owen and Jordan had a heart-to-heart relationship with him, which also made the relationship between them very good. Owen often supported Durant in public interviews and said that Durant was the person he wanted to partner with most. You know, at that time, Owen and James won the championship together.
The situation of the two men was somewhat similar. Although Durant won the championship twice in a row and the MVP in the finals twice, the Warriors were always Curry's team. In Green's sentence, we were the championship before you came, which made Durant, who was sensitive inside, feel very hurt, and Owen felt it in the Cavaliers. No matter how well he played, the Cavaliers were always James' team, and he and James didn't get along very well.
But in Celtic, Owen didn't succeed as the team leader. He didn't fit in with his teammates, and the management had a huge contradiction, so he chose to leave again. At that time, Durant also encountered problems. Durant was injured in the process of the Warriors' pursuit of three consecutive championships. In order to win the championship, he chose to make a risky comeback. However, he suffered a torn achilles tendon in the finals. After three consecutive championships failed, he refused to renew his contract with the Warriors.
When Durant entered the free market, although he suffered a torn achilles tendon, countless teams were recruiting him. The Knicks, Leonard's Clippers and James' Lakers all invited Durant and were willing to wait for him to recover for a season, but Durant chose to go to Owen's hometown, Brooklyn Nets, with his good brother Owen. And pulled another good friend, little Jordan.
With Harden's joining this season, the Nets' Big Three came into being, so it wasn't actually Owen recruited by Durant, and the two of them had the idea of joining hands together again, and when this was possible, the result was hit it off.
