Durant's MVP scorer was all gone
In the Nets' game against the Pelicans on January 16, the Nets' star Durant was mistakenly injured by his teammates, resulting in a reverse stretch of the knee joint, and durant's injury report has been released, and he has to take at least 4-6 weeks off, which means that Durant has to recover from his injury for more than 1 and a half months. But the 2022 NBA All-Star Game is about to begin on Feb. 21, less than a month left.
Durant's injury suspension has also made his honors this season almost completely ruined, first of all, Durant will most likely miss the All-Star Game, and incidentally also withdrew from the honor of MVP and scoring champion in the regular season this season. After all, after missing more than 1 month of games, the regular season MVP almost withdrew, and the scoring king was no longer in play. However, Durant is also a person who has won the championship ring twice, and has won the FMVP of the Finals twice, I believe that he will not care about these honors, this season Durant and Irving, Harden two good brothers have only one goal, that is, the NBA championship.
James apologized
This season the Nets, Bucks, Warriors and other teams still show a very strong strength, currently they are ranked in the top of the East and West, but this season the traditional giants lakers are playing more struggle, the Lakers are currently ushering in a wave of three consecutive losses, the current ranking has dropped to the 8th in the West, the win rate has fallen below 50%, as far as the current situation is concerned, the Lakers do not say that they are competing for the championship, and even whether they can enter the playoffs is a problem.
What's worse is that the Lakers are currently playing without any chemistry, Wei Shao incarnated as the Iron King, and the thick eyebrows have become a glass physique, and this season has not played a few games at all, James is old and strong, but it is very difficult to win only with old Zhan alone. Recently, James updated the dynamics on his personal Weibo, and he personally stood up to apologize and assured fans that the Lakers will definitely get better. The problem now is that the Lakers must have other players to stand up, Westbrook needs to improve his shooting percentage as soon as possible, and Thick Brow must also lose weight and return to the court as soon as possible. Only when the big 3 are combined, the Lakers can regain their impressive record.
The Warriors are 7 in a row
A few joys and a few sorrows, the Lakers side has lost many games in a row, the ranking is a drop and a drop, and the Warriors side has a good news, although on January 17, the Warriors lost to the Timberwolves, but then the Warriors will usher in a wave of 7 consecutive masters, the next 7 games are all played on the Warriors' home field, and most of the opponents are not too strong, including the Pistons, Pacers, Rockets and other weak teams. But there are also strong teams such as the Jazz, Lone Rangers, Timberwolves and Nets in the back, especially at home against the Timberwolves, I believe the Warriors will be disgraced.
Seven consecutive games are played at home, and Curry is about to return, the Warriors are currently ranked second in the West, two wins behind the Suns, the Warriors will also use these 7 consecutive home games to overtake the Suns as soon as possible and regain the throne of the first place in the West. At the same time, Clay's side will also use the home advantage to run into the team, integrate into the team system as soon as possible, and improve his performance at both ends of the attack and defense.
Durant was injured for a long time, and many honors such as mvp and scoring king in the regular season were basically reimbursed. James personally apologized, and then the Lakers must play a strong performance. The Warriors have seven consecutive home games, which is good news for the team, Curry and Klay.
