Affected by the epidemic, in recent times, all teams in the NBA have players triggering the league's health and safety agreement and have been suspended, and almost every team is facing the problem of missing a major general. As the Nets, which currently rank first in the East, some time ago, the team was forced to postpone three games because the team could not gather the required number of players (at least 8 people). However, in such a difficult situation, the Nets relied on Durant and Harden to take turns to lead the team to maintain the record, and according to the latest news, the Nets have officially passed the difficult period of understaffing.
On December 29, Beijing time, according to the official announcement of the Nets, Durant, Irving and Aldridge have lifted the league's health and safety agreement and will return to the field next. Brushing aside the clouds and seeing the light, the Nets' full-body lineup is finally coming. It is worth mentioning that in the past two games, Harden, who led the team alone, regained his normal state of his peak through the game after a 10-day break, and he led the residual Nets to defeat the Lakers and Clippers successively. Harden is back at normal level, followed by the return of Durant and Irving, and the strength of this Nets definitely makes every team in the league jealous of three points.
According to net coach Nash revealed, Durant will most likely play in the Nets home game against the 76ers on December 31, from durant's performance this season, isolation this period of time for him is completely equivalent to getting a chance to recharge his body, his competitive state will only get better, there is no need to slowly adapt to the game after the comeback. But in addition, Nash also revealed Irving's comeback time, although the league health and safety agreement has been lifted, but Irving still needs a week or two to come back after lifting the restrictions.
Irving's situation is different from Durant's, Durant can adapt to the game when he returns, but Irving has not played a game so far this season, nor has he practiced with the team, plus he has just been isolated for ten days, and he needs to get back to his form through training. However, according to Nash's interview, the timing of Irving's comeback is uncertain, the Nets will make an assessment based on his physical condition, and according to previous reports, Irving, although he has been absent from the season so far, he has personally maintained his form through training, and if the next situation is optimistic, maybe he can play in the team's away game in less than a week.
Every team is hungry for a championship, but for the Nets, whether they can compete for the championship this season is very important to their impact. The Nets eventually lost to the Bucks last season due to injury, and if they can't win the championship this season, whether they can continue to retain the main player in the offseason is full of uncertainty. First of all, Irving, his farce this season has caused a lot of trouble for the Nets, and if the team can't win the championship in the end, maybe he will be traded offseason. And durant and Irving have won the championship in the big three, only Harden has not won the championship, his purpose of coming to the Nets is to compete for the championship, if this season still fails to win the championship, whether Harden will renew the Nets is also unknown. But at the end of the day, if the Big Three stay healthy, the Nets will undoubtedly be the biggest title-contending favourites of the season.
