Today, New York City Mayor Eric Adams is going to lift the city's vaccination mandate, and Irving is about to return home. At the beginning of the season, many players in the league were infected with new crown pneumonia, fans were once in a panic, and then arranged isolation and vaccination orders to allow players to recover quickly, when the All-Star Game ended, the NBA league did not add new pneumonia patients, Philadelphia, Boston and Washington and other big ball cities are gradually eliminating the vaccine passport program, players can play comfortably, fans can watch the ball with peace of mind.
Irving refused to be vaccinated against the new crown, he believes that everyone has the right to participate, but can not because of the refusal to vaccinate must be unemployed, this is a very inhumane practice, Irving has protested more than once in public, he is also insisting on his position, although such a move can not be overly judged which is right and wrong, but his long absence from the team's home game has made relations with players tense, especially James Harden. Durant suffered a left ligament sprain, Harden negative game, Irving can only fight away, such a big three how to play, 11 consecutive losses before the All-Star Game, Nash sent the starters, simply unbearable, was half a quarter by the Celtics, the only familiar face of the team is spur veterans, Ade and Mills.
Before the trade deadline, the Nets completed a related trade between Ben Simmons and Harden with the 76ers. This is a win-win for both teams, but Irving's ban is still lifted, Simmons needs to recover through training, and it is still unknown when Durant will return to the team. But these problems were solved after the All-Star Game, and Irving's lifting of the ban heralded that the team was about to usher in a new big three, and how to maximize the talent of the players would depend on the lower limit of the team.
Today, the mayor can't wait to announce the lifting of the ban, on the one hand, announcing that the epidemic is stabilizing, and on the other hand, the Nets' chances of competing for the championship are increasing. The mayor of New York and NBA president Xiao Hua expressed a similar view — arguing that the current rules are unfair to players, which is a sign of favor for the Nets, although they are 2.5 wins behind the sixth place in the East, and once the team is on the right track, they will be among the championship contending.
The NBA's big-ball city could allow multiple teams, the Knicks of New York and the Brooklyn Nets, two teams in different zones. Today, the mayor of New York City has shown favor to the Nets, not because the team has the strength to impact the championship, but the other team, the Knicks, is too weak.
Head coach Thibodeau has had a limited level of coaching this season, and there are more sources that he will be fired. The team worked hard to trade for Reddish of the Hawks, but was pressed on the bench by the head coach and even made a bold statement: he did not approve of the management to complete the transaction. At the beginning of the season, the main core of the team, Kemba Walker, was hidden by Thibodeau, the team intended to rebuild, did not need the participation of veterans, due to the outbreak of new crown pneumonia in the middle of the season, Thibodeau no one can restart Walker, he can still play comparable to the value of the data. After the All-Star Game, the team had a poor record and even had to give up the season early. Management and communication with Walker will be reimbursed for this season.
The heart and mind to complete the reconstruction, the result is only a short-lived, the team has entered the road to reconstruction. This season's lying flat means that the playoffs can only rely on the Nets to drive economic development, and the New York Mayor's team is really prescient.
