Yesterday's game Irving officially made a comeback to beat the Pacers with the team. Today Owen updated his personal tweet with the words, "Glory to God. I'm not alone and grateful I understand this. "Yesterday Irving scored 22 points and three steals with more than 50 percent shooting, and Irving scored 10 points in the crucial 4th quarter, which was the big contributor to the team's victory. Without Irving, the Nets would have had a hard time winning on the road yesterday, and without Irving, the Nets wouldn't have been able to successfully reverse the Pacers in the 4th quarter.
Irving's return is definitely a good sign, but the social media fans who watched Irving are both happy and worried. Owen was still nervous, he was still the Ouyang Immortal. Irving is normal now, what if one day if Irving chooses to leave the game for his so-called goals as before, and then what will the Nets do?
Irving has had many absences in his career, and Irving is not a highly attendance star, which also affects his wind ratings. Irving has been with the Nets for three seasons, but he hasn't played even 100 games in those three seasons. Irving's stop-and-go has injuries and, of course, his unique personality. Choosing to leave the Cavaliers allows us to see Owen's eccentric personality, although now we have two friends, Durant and Harden. But no one guarantees that Owen will repair the immortal again one day, because from Irving's social media, we can see that what supports Owen's play is not the win and the championship, but his belief in God, which is not a good sign.
The Nets are currently in second place in the East with a record of 24 wins and 12 losses, and although the record is good, Nets fans will not be happy. Because the Nets' record this season is somewhat polarized, the Nets can basically win against weak teams, and few weak teams can take advantage of the Nets. However, the Nets' performance when playing a strong team is not very good. The First Game of the Game 1 lost to the Bucks Nets, followed by a loss to the Bulls, and the Warriors proved that the Nets were not competitive enough to play a strong team. The Nets were at one point double-digit trail in the Pacers game, and were still the side chasing at the start of the fourth quarter. The Nets' lineup and playing style are also very polarized, and the Nets focus on offense and are weak defensively at this stage. The Goal of the Nets is to compete for the title, but the Defense of the Nets, so many championship-fighting teams in the NBA, is relatively mediocre, especially the interior defense.
Since the 21st century, any team that can win the championship has not been bad in defense. The inside line is a long man who can grab rebounds and defend. The nets' overall strength inside the line is relatively mediocre, so that the young Clarkston town to guard the inside line seems a bit whimsical, the Nets if the defense is not good to rely on offense to make up. But can the offense remain stable? All three Nets stars need offense and all need a certain amount of ball possession. So how do they defend in a non-offensive round?
Most importantly, Irving can only play away at this stage. He can't play at home for the Nets yet, so what if in the playoffs, Irving only plays away and not the home Nets? Irving only plays 3-4 games in a series, and the rest of the game depends on Harden and Durant. Harden and Durant were very drained before Irving returned, and the average playing time of the two this season has approached 37 minutes. Neither of these men are in their early 20s, they are both veterans in their thirties. Playing like this is equivalent to increasing the consumption of Durant and Harden.
Owen made a comeback, but not a full comeback. Irving now needs to change his mindset, he needs to understand his position, Irving is a professional basketball player, and winning with the team is the most important thing. Whatever Irving is pursuing and thinking, it should be put in the offseason. Now winning with the team to reach the championship is the most important thing.
