On January 3, Beijing time, the Core Irving of the Nets' backcourt once again updated Twitter. What is the content? Who was the first time this season that pictures about basketball were published?
They are Kobe Bryant and Gigi, Irving's idols and favorites. In today's league, which player has the most sincere love for Kobe, Irving is definitely ranked first, everyone else is mixed with a lot of social factors, only Irving is a pure heart. When news of Kobe's and Gigi's accident reached Owen, he burst into tears and was overwhelmed.
In the summer of 2016, the Cavaliers defeated the mighty Warriors to win the first championship trophy in team history. After Irving won the championship, the first phone call he made was to express his excitement and joy to Kobe. At the beginning of the season, Irving refused to be vaccinated, and the Nets gave a "ban" penalty. Many fans have said: If Kobe Bryant is still around, maybe Irving will not be so tough. Now, the two sides have agreed that they can play away games. Owen posted this tweet and seems to be reporting to Bryant: I'm back and continuing my basketball career.
Judging by Owen's personality, tweeting about Bryant at this point in time is to indicate that he will officially return. In his basketball career, Kobe Bryant is his spiritual motivation and his spiritual godfather.
Owen's tweet, with 370,000 likes, is enough to see Kobe's influence. For the Nets, Irving's return is timely and critical. Harden and Durant both played 37 minutes, which is an overloaded sport. In the last game against the Clippers, when Mills left the court with 6 fouls, the opponent began to pack Harden and Du Shao, resulting in the Nets losing. If Owen had been present, the situation would have been completely different.
When will Owen return? Nash spoke, and he said, "In terms of the performances I've seen so far, Irving is in good shape. I think he's already on his way back, and it's getting closer. According to NBA celebrities, Irving will return on January 6, away to the Pacers.
Nets 3 Giants fit time determined? On January 6th, basically nothing went wrong. Irving is a superstar who doesn't need to have a long preparation time, but rather 2-3 games to adapt. The first away game was the Pacers, and the second away game was the Bulls, which is still a big test. The Bulls are currently number one in the East, having won two games against the Nets. So it's not too much to think of the Bulls as an imaginary enemy of the Eastern Conference Champions.
With Owen's return, Nash was very excited. He has said many times in public that Irving can help us solve a lot of problems, and the game plan we made last season can continue to be adopted, which is a very effective plan. Mills is a veteran and a scorer who should shine on the bench and fill the gap in the team's bench scoring. However, after he was promoted to the starting position, the consumption was also very large.
After Irving's return, Mills can rest assured that he will be back on the bench, which is the arrangement of the Nets' game plan. At the same time, Irving's return has also calmed the team's military spirit, and Harden's contract extension work can also be put on the agenda.
