December 29 news, yesterday Harden single-core team to abuse the Clippers, two consecutive games to play the peak of the performance. The team won two straight in Los Angeles, and the Nets had good news on their side. Today, the Nets officially announced the return of three superstars, and Ade, Durant and Irving officially lifted their quarantine. Compared with Ade and Durant, everyone is still looking forward to Irving's return, which is the first time he has resumed training in March since he left the team in September. Finally, with the return of the players, the "firefighters" who previously signed a short 10-day contract will also leave one after another, and former Rockets veteran Ennis will also leave the team this time.
First of all, look at the return of the Nets' three superstars, Durant's value to the Nets is self-evident, when Harden's performance fluctuates, it is he who led the team to play the first record in the East, and is still the number one favorite in the MVP list, a healthy Durant, indeed worthy of the title of Nets boss. Although Ard is older, his one-handed accurate mid-range shooting and net rim protection ability will greatly enrich the Nets' tactics and is an indispensable part of the Nets' championship struggle. Just imagine, if Ade had been on the inside last season, it wouldn't have been difficult for the Nets to step on the Bucks to play the Finals!
Secondly, looking at Irving's return, the reason why the Nets made concessions to let him return is mainly based on the load management of Harden and Durant. The Nets, which lack major generals, can still be ranked first in the East, mainly relying on the personal ability of Durant and Harden, but looking at the entire season, there are many hidden dangers in this way, so the significance of Irving's return is very large. In particular, Harden's last two outbreaks are enough to prove that he can return to his former peak after getting enough rest. Irving's first retraining in March is the Nets' active correction of mistakes, and the thorn head has its own problems, but the Nets can't "punish" themselves because of his mistakes.
Finally, with the healthy return of the main players, the Nets' roster will be streamlined again. The Nets previously renewed Galloway's contract with a second 10-day contract, but Ennis didn't have such good luck. During his first contract, Ennis played in two games for the Nets, averaging 7 minutes per game, scoring 2.5 points, 2.5 rebounds and 0.5 steals, shooting 50% from three-point range. Judging from the performance in the game, it is indeed a long-term sparse battle, and the shortcomings are very obvious. In the past, when he was in the Rockets, he was abandoned because the defensive pace was too slow, although he and Harden were old acquaintances, but now it is still difficult to escape the fate of being abandoned.
