Durant, burdened with unsatisfied grievances, saw the SuperSonics end February with a streak of victories, and come March, Yu Fei's stats became even more exaggerated.
He had seven consecutive triple-doubles, and in two consecutive games, he put up 20 points and 20 assists. By the end of March, Yu Fei's average stats had climbed to 30 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 12 assists per game.
Durant's average stats, on the other hand, had slowly declined from 23 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists per game.
Now they were at 22 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 assists per game.
Durant found it hard to imagine how awful his stats would have been if Tyronn had been the coach from the start.
Durant's resentment exploded on the night of March 31st, during the game against the Celtics.
After the trade deadline, two teams had become unstoppable, one was the Lakers in the Western, and the other was the Celtics in the Eastern Conference.
