The 21-22 NBA regular season has been more than a third of the schedule, the West with the Suns, warriors as the front to form a ranking, the East with the Nets, Bulls at the top and form a pattern, in the teams are trying to fight for playoff spots, the league once again suffered some "black swan event" attack. According to the latest NBA official report, the Nets postponed the game against the Blazers on December 24, so that the Nets have already postponed 3 games.
According to previous reports, 10 players within the Nets triggered the league's health and safety agreement. They are Harden, Durant, Irving, Ader, Millsap, Bruce Brown, James Johnson, Bemburi, Jervan Carter and Dailon Sharp. It was because of the multiple players who triggered the health and safety agreement, and durant and Harley's appearance time were forced to rise again, the Nets management had to compromise on the Irving incident, allowing Irving to return to the team for the away game.
But sometimes it backfires, Irving has just returned to trigger the league's health and safety agreement, and can only play if the test results are negative twice, otherwise Irving still has no way to appear in the game. To this end, the Nets have signed Galloway, Ennis and Harrison in a difficult ten-day contract, but they still can't get eight players, so Friday's game against the Blazers has become the third game that the team has postponed, and the two games that have been postponed earlier are december 20 against the Nuggets and December 22 against the Wizards.
The 13 players the Nets can't play at the moment are: Durant, Harden, Irving, Aldridge, Millsap, James Johnson, Carter, Bruce Brown, Bembry, Clarkson, Sharp, Harris, Griffin. Judging from this list, the Nets' starting lineup can not play in the game, and Mills has become the well-deserved number one person in the residual team, which is really "no tiger in the mountains, and the monkey is called the king". Judging from the current situation, Mills still does not have the opportunity to become a king.
Such a postponement of three consecutive games undoubtedly makes fans lose their expectations for the Christmas war after that, knowing that this Christmas war is the Lakers at home to meet the Nets. According to statistics, the average ticket price of this game is $780, setting an NBA regular season ticket price record. James and Durant haven't played each other since Christmas 2018. For comparison, the Suns vs Warriors Christmas showdown at home for the Suns, with an average ticket price of just $277.
Once this game can be carried out as scheduled, the matchup between the stars will be full of highlights: The Zhan Du contest, the Zhan Ou enmity, etc. will become the topic of the fans' mouth. James and Durant can be described as a pair of classic nemesis in the past decade, and the two are equal in attack and defense, which can be called the king of the king; and the feud between Irving and James will also be vividly displayed in the game, I don't know if they will be like "Dewey Two Less" when they meet again, or they will hug and cry.
We can only look forward to the excitement of this game, and time will reveal all the answers, do you like this showdown? Why?
