Durant was injured for 6 weeks, and the Nets were lucky in two misfortunes! Start the road trip, officially announce the boarding photo, the Nets have a good chance of winning!
Injured by teammate Brown yesterday, Durant's MRI results were announced today, and he will miss 4-6 weeks of games due to a sprained medial collateral ligament in his left knee. Facing such a situation for the Nets, they have two misfortunes!
First, Durant's injury is a bit unexpected, Nash overuse, almost 40+ minutes per game, fortunately there is no big problem, I hope that through Adu's injury can give the coaching staff a wake-up call, reduce Harden and other main playing time, increase the depth of the rookie rotation, give rookies time and confidence, and keep all members healthy into the playoffs. The main thing is that Durant can get a complete recovery through this month or so, and lead the Nets to kill four parties after returning from injury.
Second, without durant, the offensive end of the Durant Nets will be affected, and it will also have a huge impact on the Nets' record. Fortunately, the Nets will have nine away games in the next 11 games, first four consecutive away games against the Cavaliers, Wizards, Spurs, Timberwolves, then two years at home against the Lakers, Nuggets, and then a five-game away challenge to the Warriors, Suns, Kings, Jazz, nuggets in the West. In this way, Irving has the ball to play, and in the absence of Adu, Irving's return will inevitably help the Nets' offense, and the Nets will not suffer too much decline in the record.
The Nets are currently in second place in the East, but only two wins ahead of the sixth-place Cavaliers, and the advantage is not obvious. So the next time Irving can play the game, he must guarantee to win the game, so that when Durant returns, the Nets fall out of the top six. This morning, the Nets' official social media update posted boarding photos of the players leaving for Cleveland today.
Irving's heavily armed challenge to his old club, Harden is handsome in camouflage, Griffin is tall and mighty in white, and Sharp, a center who recently had a chemistry with Harden, is also pinned high hopes by the Nets on boarding photos. How many games do you think the Nets' four-game game streak can win? Will the opening be made against the Cavaliers tomorrow?
