After experiencing the ups and downs of the beginning of the season, the Nets, which are determined to impact the championship, have finally been able to keep the clouds open and see the moon and begin to see the dawn of hope. And the past half a month, can be regarded as the most difficult time for the Nets, because the team has triggered a health and safety agreement for many people and cannot play, but 3 games have been postponed, and hardened after the return of the state to lead the team to win 2 consecutive wins, helping the team to get through the difficulties, next, the honeymoon period belonging to the Nets is also coming, and today the Nets have also sent 3 consecutive good news, this luxury battleship, it seems to be ready to start sailing!
First good news: Durant and Aldridge are confirmed to make a comeback to Philadelphia;
Durant and Ade and other main players have been absent for a period of time because of triggering health and safety agreements, but according to the Nets injury report, Durant and Ade have now been officially removed from the injury list, and multiple reporters have confirmed that Durant and Ade will usher in a comeback in tomorrow's game against Philadelphia.
Philadelphia is currently ranked sixth in the East, and although there are still six games away from the Nets' record, with the Philadelphia lineup healthy, the team has begun to attack higher goals under embiid' leadership, so the Nets will face a lot of challenges in this game. The return of Durant and Ade has undoubtedly raised the strength of the Nets by another notch, and the team is expected to continue to continue the winning streak under the leadership of Durant Harden and maintain the first advantage in the East.
The second piece of good news: Irving is publicly loyal to the Nets
Irving returned to the Barclays Center for the first time to train for the team, and after the training he gave a media interview, which was the first time he had been publicly interviewed this season, in which Irving expressed his loyalty to the team and looked forward to joining forces with Durant and Harden to hit the championship while the iron was hot, and he also revealed that he understood management's decision to suspend him in the first place.
Owen said: "I fully understand and respect the management's decision, I calmly and rationally evaluate everything, look at the problem from the team's point of view and try not to emotionalize myself about everything they do. ”
Speaking about the anticipation for returning to the court, Owen said: "I could hardly sleep last night, I kept thinking, I don't want to be absent anymore, I miss basketball, I think about it, my heart beats faster, I miss the rhythm of the game." And when it comes to the Nets' prospects for winning the championship, Irving is not shy about it: "We (Durant and Harden) come together at this stage of our careers, we want to take advantage of this opportunity, obviously, because we are all in a mature period and have a certain amount of game skills, the championship window that belongs to the Nets will last for a while, and we all want to hit the iron while it is hot"
It seems that Irving is very eager to return to the game, and he is not dissatisfied with the management's approach, and when he comes back, he is very excited and hopes to join Harden Durant to launch a championship attack. For the Nets, it is obviously gratifying to see Irving's mentality so good, at least not to worry about it, Irving will cause trouble for the team because of personal emotional problems.
The third piece of good news: Nova Thomas has also lifted the agreement
Nets rookie Cameron Thomas has officially lifted his health and safety agreement, meaning he can return to the game soon, and while it's unclear if he'll play against Philadelphia next time, at least his comeback has further increased the Nets' rotation depth. As the Nets' potential rising star this season, Thomas's growth rate is gratifying around the Big 3, of course, he has not yet played with Irving, and with Irving has returned to the team, Thomas will be able to learn directly from Irving, perhaps Irving can teach the young player more offensive skills, so that the youngster will continue to improve. For the Nets, a championship-winning team with multiple stars, being able to develop Thomas Jr., a young player, during the turbulent period at the beginning of the season, is obviously another unexpected gain.
