As the NBA regular season continues, many fans are drawn to an upcoming showdown, the Nets vs. Philadelphia. This game has extraordinary significance for both sides, and I will take you through the details.
The Nets' next game is against Philadelphia, and the showdown will be played at home in Philadelphia. The reason why fans are interested in this showdown is that Simmons is back in Philadelphia, and everyone wants to know how the Philadelphia fans will respond to him. On the other hand, Harden left the Nets for the first time as a Philadelphia player against Irving and Durant, which is indeed worth the expectations of fans.
Unfortunately, Simmons can only sit on the bench when he returns to Philadelphia, after all, he has not yet played a game since he joined the Nets, and the competitive status is still unknown. However, because Simmons has played for Philadelphia for many years, many fans are also very interested in one thing, that is, will Philadelphia pay tribute to Simmons on video? After all, Simmons had also made his own contribution to Philadelphia.
Perhaps to satisfy the curiosity of fans, Philadelphia City coach Rivers also expressed his views on the matter in an interview with the media. Rivers has previously said Simmons' breakup with Philadelphia was like an unsatisfactory marriage, but Rivers still thinks the team should make a tribute video for Rivers.
Compared with the previous statement, Rivers's statement this time is more euphemistic, when asked about the video tribute to Simmons related topics, Rivers gave this answer, "In fact, I don't know if there will be a video tribute to this link, but if the team is prepared, then I have no opinion." ”
As the winner of the 2016 NBA Draft, Simmons naturally hopes to be respected by Philadelphia fans. Although Simmons and Philadelphia had a very unpleasant quarrel before, after all, this was his grudge with the team, and there should not be too much contradiction between him and the Philadelphia fans.
Now that Simmons has left Philadelphia, and he has also given Philadelphia the title of Harden player, it can be said that Simmons has given his value to Philadelphia. If Philadelphia is willing to make a tribute video for Simmons, then I believe Simmons will also feel very warm, but judging from Philadelphia's previous practice of deducting Simmons' salary, it seems that it is difficult for the two sides to reach a settlement.
Overall, the production of tribute videos depends on sentiment, and if Philadelphia is willing to pay tribute to Simmons, this is also a recognition of this yuanlang. If Philadelphia is reluctant to pay tribute to Simmons on video, it is also understandable from the contradictions between the two sides.
Next, it depends on the situation when the Nets and Philadelphia are dueling, as to whether Philadelphia will be a smooth water person, let's wait and see!
