On November 19, Beijing time, the Brooklyn Nets on the other side of the ocean sent 3 messages, let's take a look.
Addu climbed to the top of Harden and was cut again
Today, 2k22 officially released the second ability value update of the season, in which basketball star Kevin Durant and Warriors star Stephen Curry have improved their abilities (from 96 to 97), thus surpassing Lakers star LeBron James and tied for the first place in the league. This season, Adu continued the heroic state of last season's playoffs, with a high efficiency of 56.7% + 42.7% temporarily in the league's scoring throne, it is with the "Grim Reaper" offensive end of the unsolvable play, the Nets can still rank in the top two in the East under the adverse circumstances of manpower shortage. Obviously, there is no doubt that Adu's ability points are ranked first in the league.
It is worth mentioning that the nets' other star James Harden's treatment is the opposite, his ability in this update has been cut by 1 again, the two updates total -3, so that Harden's ability value slipped to 91, missing the league's top ten, which also set a new low since 2k16. Admittedly, Harden's performance at the beginning of the season was more difficult, with many mistakes and low scoring efficiency, and the first cut ability value was beyond reproach. But recently Harden has had a significant recovery, the last 5 games averaged 24.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, 9.4 assists and 1.6 steals, shooting 50.2%, three-point shooting rate of 38.2%, it is a very good data, so the second time to reduce its ability value is not justified, can only say that 2k22 official like the new rules after the referee to Harden is too harsh, biased.
The decline is worrying
This season, in addition to Harden, there is another player who has seen a more obvious decline, that is, the Nets starting center Blake Griffin. This season, Griffin played in 15 games, averaging 22.3 minutes per game, 5.7 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.2 assists, shooting only 30% and 16.7% from the field and three-point range (three-point shooting has been 20 consecutive shots), and many statistics are in a cliff-like decline compared to last season. As an insider, this efficiency is really outrageously low.
From the perspective of the game process, Griffin not only can not provide positive and effective help for the team on the offensive end, but also has some delays in the defensive end, the board is not strong, the frame is not good, and the only highlight is the inside defense and the creation of offensive fouls. It stands to reason that Griffin is only on the base salary this season and should not have high expectations for him, but he is a former All-Star and one of the Few Trusted interior players of the Nets, and it is still very disappointing and worrying to play at a young age (32 years old) and without injuries in the recent year. If the Nets want to go further this season, griffin's ability to come up with a strong rebound is crucial.
Owen recreates God's actions
Today, Kyrie Owen, who was banned by the Nets for not playing the new crown vaccine, has another "god move", he first replaced a picture with a strange painting style, with green and black as the main colors as his new avatar, is this continuing to create a mysterious style that sets off himself? Subsequently, Owen posted a number of photos representing the tribe and ethnic culture in his personal dynamics, which is to show people that they will still follow their faith and not get vaccinated. Or did he enjoy the feeling of being in the spotlight and discussion all the time?
I have to say that "Ou Shenxian" is really elusive, a good basketball does not play, actually go to play theology and art. Whether it is to continue to fight side by side or to make a deal with other teams, I sincerely hope that the farce between Irving and the Nets will end as soon as possible.
