The Supersonics never explicitly stipulated how many shots each player should take.
Last season, Fei achieved an unprecedented efficiency with an average of fewer than 19 shots per game, scoring 28 points.
The reason for this was that in his third year, Roy had matured further. He was not only able to share ball-handling responsibilities but also needed them to complete his transformation. Meanwhile, in his second year, Durant leveraged the decrease in Fei's shooting attempts to score an average of 20 points per season.
For Durant, the number of shots he got in his sophomore year was satisfactory.
But human desire is a pit that cannot be filled.
No matter how much you put into it, the desire only grows larger, never to be satisfied.
Durant did not hope to have more control over the ball than Fei, but he believed that he had proven himself to be the second player on the team during training camp.
As the second player, his number of shots should naturally rank second.
