On December 29, Beijing time, although many players in the NBA are currently sick, and some teams even have an embarrassing situation that no one can play because too many players trigger health and safety agreements, the NBA does not plan to stop this, they still let the season go on as usual. The Nets should have been very happy because they finally waited for Irving's comeback, but at that time, Irving was rumored to trigger the health and safety agreement, and even Durant and Aldridge could not be spared, which also made the Nets who had just been happy fall into the ice cave in an instant.
However, as time passed, the Nets once again had good news, with the American media confirming that durant, Irving and Aldridge's health agreement had been lifted, and then they could return to the game. And because the Nets' next three games will be at home, Durant and Aldridge can come back as early as Friday. As for Irving, since he has not been vaccinated, Irving is still unable to play at home, and he will need one to two weeks to recover before he can play again.
Although Irving still has no way to return immediately, this is already a blessing in disguise for the Nets, because perhaps even the Nets themselves did not think that the Nets' big three could reunite one day at the beginning of the season. After all, no one knows what Irving's temper will be, and no one knows whether Irving will return to the team. However, from the current state, everything seems to be moving in a good direction, the Nets and Irving are gradually returning to peace, and the Nets' record is promising to rise again in the middle of the season.
You must know that the Nets faced a very difficult situation at the beginning of the season, when Irving could not play because he refused to be vaccinated, and Harden was also very depressed because of injury problems, and the whole team relied on role players such as Durant and Mills to support them. Fortunately, Durant is strong enough, and Nash also really dares to use people, directly allowing Durant to overdraft many times to preserve the team's record. Now that Durant's efforts have finally been rewarded, Irving's return is only a point, and Harden's recovery is also very important.
In recent games, due to durant and Aldridge's absence, Harden has become the nets' only core player. Harden, who was originally in a very depressed state, was not optimistic from the beginning, and fans even began to taunt Harden for touching porcelain again. However, Harden played the best state of his peak during this time, scoring 30+ points in a row to lead the team to victory, which also allowed Harden to regain the confidence of the original MVP season. In this way, the Nets' big three have really all recovered, which is really gratifying.
However, there is also a problem to worry about, and that is the chemistry between the Nets' Big Three. Although the Nets Triumvirate also showed good chemistry when they played at the same time last season, the Big Three has been gathering less and more since its formation, and basically has no chance to play together. And the big three that are all offensive players are difficult to agree on the issue of ball rights, and now that Durant and Irving are returning, the Nets big three must also have a good chemistry reaction.
However, all this is not a big problem for the Nets, without Irving they can become the number one team in the East, and Irving will definitely go to the next level after his return. As for the later stage, Irving is more likely to receive vaccination, which will make the Nets' roster truly complete. And if this lineup goes to the playoffs, I believe that no team in the league will not be afraid of them.
