On December 19, Beijing time, the Nets have officially announced that Irving has returned to the team and played part-time for the team, why did the Nets compromise? In addition to the two major reasons for injuries and the epidemic, the US media NetsDaily revealed the truth behind the scenes, and Durant and Harden put pressure on the management, which is also an important reason for Irving's lifting of the ban.
According to US media reports, the Nets launched a plan to return Irving last week; the Nets decided to ban Irving from team activities on October 12, and in the first two months of the season, the Nets have not changed this decision, but after a meeting in mid-December, everything has changed.
Durant and Harden play at the top of the league in each game and are too loaded, with at least one of their agents meeting with Nets general manager Sean Max.
The goal of that meeting was simple.
Sean Max and Nets owner Tsai Chongxin should reconsider the position of banning Irving and letting him play in away games. In fact, even as a part-time player, Irving was able to share the pressure for Durant and Harden in the playoffs to make the team stronger.
The sources said the meetings were somewhat controversial. Some inside the Nets believe Max felt like his hand was forced when he left the meeting. While Durant has renewed his contract, both Harden and Irving have player options next summer.
From the inside story of the meeting exposed by the US media, Durant and Harden put pressure on the nets general manager, and finally the nets decided to let Irving return to the team and play away games for the Nets.
So far this season, Durant is second in the league with an average of 37 minutes per game, Hashi has played an average of 36.2 minutes in the league, and the Nets are ranked first in the East with 21 wins and 8 losses, but Duden's two giants are really too tired, and playing in the regular season does increase the risk of Duden's injury, and Irving's return to the team can share the pressure for them and improve the team's offense.
For the recall of Irving, Nets owner Tsai Chongxin said: "We want to be more practical, winning and winning the championship is my only belief, this is the situation we are facing now."
Irving has been allowed to return to the team, but the Nets have been hit by the epidemic, Durant, Harden, Irving, Ade, Brown Jr., Bemburi, Johnson, Bembry and Jevon Carter have all triggered the epidemic prevention agreement, and it is unfortunate that as many as 9 people on the team have been recruited.
