The NBA regular season is underway, and recently there are many players in the NBA who trigger security agreements to lead to suspensions, such as the Bulls, which were originally in good momentum, and as a result, as a result, as many as 10 players have been absent because of the players triggering safety agreements, resulting in the game having to be postponed. The latest news from Shams shows that the Nets also have four players who trigger the safety agreement, resulting in missing future games with the Raptors.
The four players are Ade, Bemburi, Carter and James Johnson, and three of the four are the Nets' current main rotation players, and their absence has a great impact on the Nets; in addition to the four of them, the team's Millsap has also triggered a health and safety agreement to cause a suspension.
In addition, Irving has been absent since the beginning of the season, has not yet been able to set foot on the field, and does not know when he will be able to play; the team's top scorer Harris has suffered an injury and is expected to return to the team until February next year, which means that he will not be able to play in the next game. At this point, the team's seven players will be determined to miss future games against the Raptors.
This is not the end, according to the Nets official announcement, Durant's right ankle is sore, playing the Raptors is doubtful. Due to the recent poor state of the team, Durant has played a lot of time, and so far in the season, his playing time has reached 36.5 minutes, ranking 1st on the team and 3rd in the league. Nash also "left no hand" in Durant's use, causing Durant to suffer ankle pain recently. In this case, the Nets should be cautious about Durant's use to avoid injuries caused by his forced appearance.
If Durant can't play in the end, then the only players who can play against the Raptors are Harden, Mills, Brown, Thomas, Griffin, And Clarkston, and the late bench players such as Sharpe, who rarely appear. With such a lineup against the Raptors, I think Harden must "let go" to have the hope of winning, after all, the Raptors' current strength is also quite good, not to mention that they still have a good hand in defending Harden.
In this case, Harden will be under great defensive pressure, coupled with his average state this season, I don't know if he can withstand the Raptors' pursuit and blockage, and play a strong role to lead the team to win?
The Nets suffered half a team "group annihilation" for violating the security agreement, and veteran Millsap "contributed". He was the first player on the team to trigger a safety and health agreement, and since then the other four have also been recruited, and it is unknown whether the Nets will be recruited by others in the future. Millsap has been absent quite a few times this season, just like Irving last season, always asking the team for leave to go out to deal with his own personal affairs, which is really difficult to understand.
In the performance of the game, Millsap's performance is not satisfactory, although in a certain game he will make a difference on the offensive end, but his shortcomings in the defensive end are too obvious, on the field is the type of "killing a thousand self-inflicted damage eight hundred", often targeted by opponents. I hope that the Nets players will be able to obey the team management in the future and fight for the championship.
