On February 13, Beijing time, after today's 111-115 defeat to the Heat, the Nets suffered 11 consecutive losses, and at present, the ranking has fallen from the first place in the East at the beginning of the season to the eighth place in the East, and the prospect of the playoffs is precarious. Obviously, the Nets are distracted during this time, and the team is full of multiple unknown contradictions, and they have fallen out of the championship race. Harden's departure gave the team a blow, the Nets have come to this point, and the two major cancers play a vital role behind it.
The first tumor, the biggest tumor on the team, the time bomb, is Irving. In a way, Irving is the real reason for Harden's departure. If Irving is willing to be vaccinated, he can play in all games, no matter how stubborn Nash is, how single the tactics are, no matter how he uses the Big Three, the Nets can spend the third quarter, and the team still retains a lot of hope of winning the championship. The fact is that Owen insisted on his "belief" under the persuasion of management and teammates, so that Nash could only pin his hopes on the Duha duo, and both of them had a history of injury, which led to the current ending.
The second cancer is Nash. Nash's single tactics, stubbornness, stubbornness, excessive reliance on superstar singles, resulting in Durant and Harden have been injured, before, Duha was the league's top five longest playing time of the two players, and Duke, Thomas, Edwards and even Duke these good rookies sometimes use, sometimes do not use the practice is more foggy, which is also one of the indirect reasons for forcing Harden to leave.
Look at the performance of today's four rookies, you know how terrible the Nets' offense is, Edwards is 5 of 13, got 13 points, 5 rebounds and 3 steals, Thomas was 8 of 18, he had 22 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal, Sharpe was 6 of 5, contributed 10 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal, Duke did not shoot today, nor did he score, but the plus-minus value was +3, Harden chose to leave show that he has complete despair of Irving, as for Nash and Durant, Harden must have some opinions, after all, Nash has Durant covered, Harden is also embarrassed to say it directly.
After the Nets suffered an 11-game losing streak, Irving was interviewed after the game, and although it was only a short 20 words, the words he said caused widespread controversy, leaving people speechless and crying without tears, he said: "(I don't feel guilty, if I don't play in New York, it may be different." That is to say, Irving still thinks that his persistence is right, the fault is that the team is located in New York, the team does not blame him for losing, if it is another city, he can play to help the team. For Irving's statement, fans said: "Never seen such a brazen person", "Irving, you are really outrageous, broke up the Cavaliers, the Green Army, and now you are angry with Harden, really selfish ~ do not deserve the word immortal" and "why don't you apply for a trade, leave the opportunity to Harden and Durant" and so on.
Irving also said he still wants to play at home, but vaccination is not so simple for him. Irving may think he is not wrong, but from a public point of view, this is a manifestation of selfishness and ignorance, just as the fan above said, Irving has broken up the Cavaliers and the Green Army, and now he is here to plague Harden, not worthy of the word "immortal", such players lack professionalism and should be expelled from the league.
