On March 16, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season continued. According to the schedule, the Nets will challenge the Magic on the road today. Prior to this game, the Nets were 8th in the East with 35 wins and 33 losses, and the Magic were in the bottom of the East with 18 wins and 51 losses.
Before the game began, the Nets officially released today's starting lineup: Dragic, Irving, Durant, Brown, Drummond! According to statistics, the game start is the Nets' 39th starting lineup this season, setting a new team record, compared with 38 sets last season.
It has to be said that the Nets have had a lot of trouble this season. These include Irving's suspension at the beginning of the season, and the fact that he can only play away from home after his return, as well as the mid-season big deal. Coupled with the fact that they have faced the same coronavirus crisis as other teams, this has led to extremely disorganized team personnel, often facing problems such as personnel changes, which has also become the main reason for the frequent changes in the Nets' starting lineup.
It is worth mentioning that the Simmons obtained by the Nets in the Harden trade have not yet played. When he returns, the Nets' starting lineup is bound to continue to change. Speaking about Simmons, Nets coach Nash bluntly believes he can return in the regular season, and Drummond said that once Simmons returns, the team will add important rebounders and defensive adepts.
The Nets have won 3 straight before today's game, and they will go all out today to fight for 4 straight wins.
