Nets was eliminated in the playoffs in the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. One of them, Durant (Kevin Durant), scored 48 points, and wrote the highest single-game score in the history of the 7th playoffs. But in fact, he had a chance to defeat his opponent 1.6 seconds before the end of the regular season, but because his shoes were too big, he stepped on the three-point line and became a two-pointer. The two sides entered the playoffs.
Durant revealed in an interview in the past that he was used to wearing big-sized sneakers. "I like sneakers like slippers. I feel that I won't be restrained. Even if the sneakers are about to fall off, I can still wear them back immediately and continue the game."
Durant, who is 208 cm tall, has a foot length of 33 cm. Like the 226 cm tall Yao Ming , he wears No. 18 sneakers, but Durant should actually wear No. 17 sneakers to fit his feet. Unexpectedly, because of his habit of wearing big-sized sneakers, he missed the chance to win.
Durant has explained the reason in the past, "I don't like any sense of restraint on my body, so I rarely wear elbow guards or trousers. I naturally don't like to be too tight."
Durant scored 53 minutes on the field in G7, made 17 of 36 shots, made 10 of 11 free throws, scoring the highest 48 points in the game, and also had an all-round performance of 9 rebounds and 6 assists. 48 points in a single game also wrote the highest score in the seventh game in the playoffs. He is also the third player in history to score more than 40 points in G7.
