On January 24, Beijing time, the Nets will play against the Timberwolves on the road, and the Nets officially posted the team-building activities before they flew to Minnesota. In San Antonio, Patti Mills invited the team to dinner at one of his favorite restaurants, where everyone laughed and laughed. Both Harden and Irving appear in photos and videos, smiling widely.
Mills played 10 seasons with the Spurs before joining the Nets, and he's very familiar with everything about San Antonio. Before leaving the holy city, he invited the whole team to have a brunch. In the photo, everyone sits together, wearing casual clothes, talking about homely, such team-building activities will undoubtedly further enhance the feelings and exchanges between teammates.
Owen chatted with Griffin on the other side, smiling happily, and Harden on the other side also stuck his head out and smiled. Coming to Texas, Griffin wore a cowboy hat, which was very appropriate. Outdoors, Aldridge and coach Nash chatted, and across from him sat Joe Harris, who was getting closer and closer to his comeback. After everyone finished eating, they also played games together outdoors for a while, looking quite relaxed.
Durant's injury once plunged the team into a haze, and this road trip is a good opportunity to unite the whole team. Playing away from home gives players more time to communicate and enhance their relationships than going back home after home games. Irving, who has not yet been vaccinated, has finally got more opportunities to play.
In the last game against the Spurs, Harden exploded with 37 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists, and Irving scored 26 points. In the days when Durant can't play, the Nets need to rely on them to continue to lead the team forward. Before the Clash with the Timberwolves, the Nets had a record of 29 wins and 16 losses, returning to the first place in the East.
