One, the big reversal, Irving can play in the home game: as long as the fine is paid, he can play in Brooklyn
Recently, the Nets' record has been dismal, and they have suffered 3 consecutive losses, but the Goal of the Nets is to compete for the championship, not the gains and losses of one city and one pool, and the Nets have long found that the problem is a good thing, as long as they stay healthy, the Nets will still be the biggest favorite to compete for the championship. The good news for the Nets keeps coming, with Irving reportedly confirmed to play tomorrow for the Nets and Pacers.
The current situation is that the Nets can only play in away games for the time being. But just today, the good news came that new York City regulations were reportedly exposed, and Irving could play at home to the Nets, provided they paid a fine. "Any person or entity who violates the rules will be fined not less than $1,000; if the person or entity violates the rules again within 12 months, the person or entity will be fined not less than $2,000; and subsequently, the person or entity will be fined not less than $5,000 for each violation of the rules within 12 months."
There is no doubt that this news is bright for the Nets. As long as the Nets pay the fine, Irving can play in Brooklyn, even if each home game is fined $10,000, from now on, the regular season plus the playoffs, may also be fined up to 500,000-600,000 or so, for the wealthy Cai boss, this is not worth mentioning. And this provision also gives the Nets a choice, the regular season let Irving play away, the playoffs come, the Nets may pay a fine, let Irving play.
Second, Tang Shen's comeback is imminent, and the Warriors plan to let him play 15-20 minutes
Thompson is also close to returning, it is reported that Tang Shen will return on January 10 in the Warriors' home game against the Cavaliers after two years away from the NBA, and there is no doubt that this will be one of the most watched games in the 21-22 season so far, Tang Shen helped the Warriors win three championship trophies, he is crucial to the team.
And how long Tang Shen will play, everyone is also very concerned. In an interview, Cole announced the appearance time of Tang Shen, which was very hardcore and formulated strict protection measures. According to Cole, Thompson will only play 15-20 minutes per game, and in back-to-back games, Thompson will only play one game.
Don't worry about the Warriors' record, Curry can basically lead the team to the top two in the West, and how much time Thompson plays in the regular season is actually not so important. And in the playoffs, it is time for Tang Shen to make a threat, as long as he returns to the level of 80% of the peak period, the warriors have a great chance of winning the championship. And the Warriors bench also has Poole as a scorer, and overall, the Warriors will be one of the most balanced teams, and the team with the best chance of reaching the Finals in the West.
Third, Morant continued to storm, scoring 8 consecutive points to lead the team to win, basically locking in the All-Star
Morant is so good, he's only 23 years old this year, and he's already the league's top superstar. In today's game, the Grizzlies narrowly defeated the Cavaliers 110-106 to win six straight and finish in the top four in the West with a record of 25 wins and 14 losses.
The Grizzlies almost drew with the Cavaliers in the first three quarters, and in the final quarter, the Grizzlies were once suppressed by the Grizzlies, but Morant stood up again, he scored 8 consecutive points to help the team win, and the key moment was not soft, which is the nature of the superstar. The Grizzlies finally found the cornerstone of the team after the gasol Jr. era ended, and Morant may become the greatest star in the history of the Grizzlies.
Morant scored 26 points, five rebounds and six assists to lead the team to the longest winning streak in the West. His stats this season are averaging 25.1 points, 5.7 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 1.4 steals per game, making him one of the league's best stars. Considering the Grizzlies' record and Morant's excellent data, the suspense of entering the Western Conference All-Star is not big, and it is up to see if it will start.
