On January 18, Beijing time, the Nets won a defeat against the Cavaliers, Durant was absent due to injury, Irving and Harden played, but still lost, the score was 107-114. In the critical stage of the game, Harden's passing error caused the Nets to completely lose the possibility of overturning, and Harden blamed himself after the game, saying: "Personally, I have to do better on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends. It's a league that only talks about success or failure, and we haven't been able to end the game tonight. Harden scored 22 points, 7 rebounds, 10 assists and 2 steals in the game, 5 of 12 shots and 10 of 15 free throws.
But after the game, Harden did something interesting, was exposed and liked a rumor about his departure from the team, although Harden quickly deleted it himself, but it has been successfully screenshotted. Whether Harden slipped his hands or proved that he was concerned about whether he was leaving the team, the news was not friendly to Nets fans, and the Big Three could break up.
You know, just before the game against the Cavaliers, there was an American media celebrity Marc Stein who broke the news: "At present, there are enough rumors in the league, and Harden is open to the transfer matter this summer." "And the league believes that Harden's most likely next home is Philadelphia, they can use Ben Simmons to sign first and then exchange, and the Nets to complete harden's deal, which is a good choice for both teams."
Harden could leave the team, and Kyrie Owen has a lot of responsibility. The reason why Harden left the team last season and wanted to leave the Rockets was that he wanted to win the championship, when the Rockets could provide Harden with the largest contract extension in theory, but Harden chose to refuse, bent on leaving the team and joining a competitive team to achieve the idea of winning the championship. In the end, Harden came to the Nets and joined forces with Durant and Irving, but unfortunately, in the first season of the joint team, Harden and Irving were injured at key moments, resulting in the Nets' Eastern Conference semifinals seven losses to the Bucks.
Just into this season, the Nets situation is completely different, Durant played MVP level performance, Harden Irving also returned to health, but Irving insisted on not vaccinated, did not consider the actual situation of the Nets, resulting in a long absence despite health. This led to problems with the Nets' roster, with Nash overusing Harden and Durant, ending up with Durant suffering a ligament injury and expected to miss 4-6 weeks. Just after the game against the Cavaliers, the reporter interviewed Owen based on Durant's injury and asked him if he was willing to use this vaccine to help the Nets survive the difficulties of not having Durant in a short period of time, and the answer Irving gave was to insist on not vaccinate.
So Harden wants to seek to leave is no problem, after all, he came to the Nets originally to win the championship, because the injury can not win the championship can only say bad luck, but at this stage the Nets' predicament is caused by The European people, Harden also wants to take advantage of the peak period to win the championship, then you need to plan for yourself, there is a certain possibility to leave the team.
