Durant was accidentally injured in the game, and the bump from the opponent was not lucky enough, but in basketball, such injuries are very difficult to avoid. Lakers Anthony Davis has also suffered an injury from teammates who handled the ball carelessly and is expected to rest for a while.
Durant's injury has been officially announced, and the Nets passed an MRI examination and found that it was a sprain of the medial collateral ligament of the left knee. Insiders believe that after some treatment and rehabilitation, Durant can play in 4-6 weeks.
Friends who are familiar with this injury may understand that this injury may damage explosive force, and it does take about a month to recover. Ligament injuries are the most afraid of relaxation, the joints are not stable enough when the force is exerted, and it is a troublesome thing for ordinary people to encounter such injuries, but we believe that with Durant's conditions and physical talent, the injury can be completely healed. Here's a blessing to Durant.
Durant's injury, which comes down to head coach Nash, seems unreasonable, and the injury is a typical accident. However, after Durant's absence, Nash's coaching philosophy will be directly impacted.
Many of the games before the Nets were forced back by Durant, rather than won by superb on-court coordination. In many games, Nash's tactics are Durant's pure singles, without even some blocking, which makes people look angry and distressed.
Durant is used quite frequently, fans are naturally afraid of injury attacks, this time Durant is still unfortunately injured, then Nash has no more fig leaf, and now it is completely dependent on Harden.
Harden was the one most affected after Durant's injury.
The Nets' organizational responsibility lies with Harden, and Harden is also shouldering the task of attacking at certain times, and Durant's task is obviously more clear and arduous during durant's injury time. This helps Harden come out of the "Rockets" state, the Nets may usher in a wave of winning streaks, and the only concern is Harden's consumption.
Harden's attrition has been maintained at a high line, and he was injured last season. At the Nets, Harden was the star with the most asked roles, but he persevered, and the Nets will continue to use his persistence.
Hopefully, Harden will avoid any form of injury while playing at a high level.
Another person affected was James.
This season, the Lakers are worried about internal and external troubles, and it is already difficult to play a championship-level game, so James' score has become the first important factor. James currently averages 28.9 points per game, 0.4 points behind Durant and has a great chance of overtaking. As the Lakers' season deepens, the probability of facing an opponent with a higher winning percentage increases, and the probability of James scoring increases.
The 37-year-old scoring champion, and then one step closer to 40,000 points, is a feat.
The people on the MVP list also retired because of Durant's injury, and there was one less competitor.
We say that the Nets have not really made a difference, and with the return of Irving, the Nets are also competing for home advantage, so the probability of their better record in the second half is very high. Once the Nets are on power, there is no team to match in terms of offense alone.
After the record rises, Durant naturally ranks at the top of the MVP list, although alphabet brother and Jokic are now in the top two places. Don't forget that Durant also has a scoring champion, which is another typical MVP plus.
To avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, the Nets need to do everything they can to stabilize their record before Durant returns. Their direction may be here in Harden or Thomas.
