On October 24, Beijing time, basketball star Owen updated social media and posted a dynamic that once again posted chicken soup for the soul. He wrote: "The power of faith is a powerful force, but the power of the prophet is even stronger.".
As an ordinary person, I don't quite understand the meaning of this sentence anyway, but I can hear the meaning of "Owen still intends to stick to himself and stick to the end." (Still no vaccination is meant).
Irving signed a four-year, $141 million contract with the Nets in the 2019 offseason. In the 19-20 season, due to injury, only played 20 games for the team, and the team did not qualify for the playoffs; durant and Irving returned from injury in the 20-21 season, and also got Harden through a trade, which should have been the best opportunity for the Nets to compete for the championship, as a result, Irving and Harden suffered injuries in the playoffs, and finally the Nets lost to the Bucks and missed the Eastern Conference Finals.
Although the Nets eventually lost the season, the outside world is already full of expectations for a healthy Nets. The Nets, who were supposed to have a chance to redeem themselves in the 21-22 season, had a chance to prove themselves, but Irving took the lead in refusing to be vaccinated, which had a huge impact on the entire NBA and the Nets.
According to previous reports: New York's epidemic prevention regulations require that Irving must complete vaccination in order to participate in the Nets' home game; finally, after careful consideration, the Nets issued an official notice to ban Irving from participating in team training and all games before completing vaccination. (The team does not allow anyone to play basketball part-time, because this will affect the team atmosphere of the team)
Before the start of the game, there were many people who felt that the Nets would still be a favorite team for the championship without Irving, but from the first two games of the new season, the Nets still needed Irving more, the first game was exploded by the Bucks, and the second game against the 76ers was also a reversal completed at the last moment, so the Nets still exposed a big problem. (Durant is still stable, but Harden is unstable, and the Nets have no fault tolerance)
I believe you have seen Irving's stubbornness, and I feel that he will not compromise easily, and the only two ways now are to either choose to trade Irving or wait for the local epidemic prevention policy in New York to change. So the question is, which method do you think is more reliable!
