According to reports, the Nets currently have a number of players who have tested positive for the new crown, among them, Irving, who has just announced his return, has entered the process of the league's new crown isolation. According to previous reports, the Nets have just allowed Irving to return to the team to participate in the team's away games, and only need to undergo new championship tests for several consecutive days before returning to the team. In the process of this test, Owen was tested positive. Many fans have speculated that it is likely that because the Nets currently have multiple players who are infected, Irving has not been spared.
In the offseason, because Irving was reluctant to vaccinate against the new champion, according to the rules of the league and the rules of the Nets, Irving has not been able to train with the team so far this season, and has never been able to play. Despite this, the Nets still achieved the first record in the East under Durant and Harden, especially Durant's performance of averaging 29.7 points, 7.9 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game so far this season, which is a popular candidate for the regular season MVP this season. So, for a long time, the Nets weren't in a hurry for Irving's return, nash said the team didn't expect Irving to return this season, and the Nets even started asking for Irving's offer.
But nearly a third of the way through the season, the Nets suddenly suffered injuries and a large number of players violating the league's health and safety agreements, resulting in most of the team's players, including Durant and Harden, unable to play, which put the team in an extremely difficult situation. As a result, the Nets had to reconsider their decision not to let Irving return throughout the season. After a long period of communication between the Nets and Irving, both sides were no longer as insistent on their wishes as before, and finally the team decided to let Irving return to the team, can train with the team and participate in the team's away games, which is also very good news for the Nets who are currently experiencing a staffing crisis.
But the Nets fans have not been happy for long, and Irving was exposed to the news that he tested positive in the process of receiving the new crown test, which is really laughable. And this is also because the Nets revealed the news through the media that he was ready to return to the team when he had not yet obtained all of Irving's test results, which eventually led to the appearance of embarrassing oolong. Due to the large number of players on the team who violated the league's health and safety agreements, the Nets were unable to play as many as 12 people in the game against the Magic, including durant, Irving, Harden, Aldridge and Brown, and many other team players, in this situation, the Nets eventually lost at home to the magic team 93:100.
Whether it's for Irving or the Nets, the current oolong is not good news. First of all, Irving had just announced his return to the team, but soon had to be absent because of a positive result, which had a big impact on the enthusiasm of both sides. In addition, Irving is an unvaccinated player who is likely to lead to further penalties from the league after violating the league's safety agreement. Secondly, at present, many players on the Nets have violated the league's safety protocol, that is, there is a positive result in the new crown test, which is likely to cause teammates who have close contact with them to continue to be infected, and it is likely that the team will have to apply to the league for suspension, which will be a very bad result for the Nets who aspire to the championship.
It has to be said that although the Nets have become a competitive super team in recent seasons, they are also one of the worst teams in the league in recent seasons. In the first season when Irving and Durant joined, Durant was unable to play because of torn Achilles tendon, and Irving was also reimbursed after playing 20 games. In the end, the Nets of that season were eliminated in the first round. In the opening stages of last season, although Irving and Durant both returned, the team's big man Dinwiddie was soon reimbursed for injury season. Fortunately, they quickly acquired Harden through a trade, thus forming a super powerful big three lineup. Just after the Nets became the league's title-winning hit, fate played a joke with them again, first in the regular season, the Big Three missed a large number of games due to injuries, resulting in very few games for the three to play at the same time. This was followed by the playoffs, and while the Nets easily made it to the second round, the successive injuries of Harden and Irving in the second round led to the Nets eventually being eliminated by the Bucks. This season, Irving did not play because he was reluctant to be vaccinated, resulting in a big impact on the overall strength of the Nets. Waiting for Irving's return, a large number of players on the team had to be suspended for violating the league's health and safety agreements.
Of course, Irving's announcement of his return to the team is very good news for the Nets, according to the league's relevant regulations on epidemic prevention, as long as Irving can test negative within 24 hours, he can return to the team, if not, he will have to quarantine for ten days. In any case, it's much better than Irving not being able to play all season. After all, Irving's return will be a great help to the Nets, on the one hand, although the Nets have still achieved a very good record so far this season, this is based on the fact that Harden and Durant, the two giants, have played a lot of time in almost every game, and the two are likely to bury the hidden danger of injury because of high-intensity consumption. If Irving can get back on the field, the Duha duo will have more time to rest and face much less defensive pressure on the court.
On the other hand, if Irving never returns to the team, then even if Harden and Durant lead the Nets to a very good record in the regular season, the two will be under greater defensive pressure in the playoffs, and the Nets' championship road will be very difficult, and Irving's return can make the Nets' strength get a very big boost in an instant. Judging from the league structure this season, if the Nets Big Three can fit together, then they will have very great hope of winning the championship. According to Nash, the team also intends to let Irving play more than just away games, so from the current trend, the regrouping of the Big Three this season is just around the corner.
