In December, the NBA was hit by a frenzy of the epidemic, and before December, a total of 13 players in the NBA triggered health and safety agreements, and after entering December, 237 players triggered health agreements. Just the players, the head coaches of many teams, and the referees were not spared. 11 games have been postponed so far this season, and in order to avoid more and more games being postponed, the league has developed corresponding emergency measures, and teams can use difficult exceptions to expand their troops to ensure that they can gather the number of players.
However, despite this, today's Warriors and Nuggets game was postponed because the Nuggets triggered a health and safety agreement and could not make up the 8-player game!
This made the Warriors very dissatisfied, and the biggest complaint was chasing The Green, who sent several pushes to express his dissatisfaction.
Green wrote on Twitter: "The league has put in place contingency measures (difficult exceptions to make up players) to prevent the game from being cancelled, why should it continue to cancel the game now? Shouldn't that be a competitive advantage for other teams? We also have some people who didn't play in the last game we lost to the Nuggets, don't be uneven! ”
Green, who was still upset, tweeted again soon after, thinking that when the game day was rearranged, it might take up the Warriors' day's rest time! The Nuggets stole a win two days ago with the Warriors' disorganized roster, so why should the Warriors wait until they're in good shape?
Green's complaints have been questioned by some fans, because the Nuggets and Warriors game two days ago, the personnel is not neat, Murray, Porter Jr., Gordon, Dozier, 4 players at the starting level are absent! Green, on the other hand, thinks the Nuggets stole a win at home for the Warriors, which is a bit disrespectful!
But one yard to one yard, Green is more complaining about canceling the game today. Today, the Nuggets have four people in the health and safety agreement, namely Jeff Green, Hyland, Najib, and head coach Malone. In addition, Dozier, Marcus Howard, Murray and Porter Jr. could not play due to injury.
In addition to the above 7 players who are sure not to be able to play, the Nuggets have 4 players in a state of doubt, that is, 50% likely to play, namely Kanka, Gordon, Morris, and Rivers Jr. As long as one of these 4 players can play, then the Nuggets can gather 8 players, and the game will not be canceled. The Nets are one of several teams that have played in December with only eight players to play.
In the end, the Nuggets' decision was that all 4 players who were in doubt could not play, which led to the postponement of the game. According to the probability calculation, the probability that all 4 players who are suspicious of playing will not be able to play is 6.25%, which means that this game has a 93.75% chance of being held as scheduled. This is where this postponement of the competition really feels controversial!
However, we can't impose blame on the Nuggets, who may be the team that has been hit hardest by injuries this season, all thanks to Jokic alone carrying the team forward. Now the Nuggets 17 wins and 16 losses, the winning rate is just over 50%, it is well known that Zhuge Malone is cautious in his life, in order to stabilize the team's record ranking, in the case of rules permitting, choosing to postpone the game is a helpless move.
