The gods slashed 60 points, and the most insoluble Owen left the world with the most difficult puzzles

Recently, NBA players have been blowing up their scores, and some people have bombed 60+ points for 2 consecutive days, which is more exciting for a while to score 32 points in the section and 41 points in the half? No one has ever questioned Irving's performance on the field, and there is no need to question it, which is once again confirmed today. And look and cherish it, long export evil, and even rekindle hope for the crown, are the most common perceptions of Nets fans after today. And what brings them such complex feelings, naturally except for Owen, does not think of the second person.

It's no surprise that Irving would be among the recent scoring sprees. He has excellent skills and, as he says, because he is not yet allowed to play at home, he is like a tiger in the away game, with motivation and physical strength. In addition, Harden's departure can not be said to have not stimulated him, which can be seen in the reaction of Wall and Cousins after Harden left the Rockets in the 2020-21 season, not to mention that many people have put the hat of Harden's departure on his head.

Against the Bucks, Irving scored 38 points; against the Hornets, he scored 50 points, and then it was today. After Durant blasted 53 points in the New York derby, the Nets actually regarded the NBA game as a joke between brothers, which is unfathomable.

But because of this, when Irving said the phrase "tomorrow I will come to the home game to play the Lone Ranger", the bitterness in the hearts of Nets fans re-emerged. The better Irving is, the more people get a glimpse of the Nets' bottomless strength, and the more people sigh at their inability to touch the championship trophy. Last year, such a sigh condensed into resentment against the brother of the alphabet, but unexpectedly, Owen's refusal to vaccinate has become a new obstacle.

Recently, after the mayor of New York said that "Ou Wenmingtian can play the main game, as long as he is vaccinated", the dissatisfaction with its "double standard" has become public. What everyone doesn't understand is why Irving, who can watch the game at home, can't put on the team? Visiting players come to New York without a ban, so why can't they turn a blind eye to Irving?

"Double standard" is not desirable, but it cannot be used to leave Irving's responsibility alone, nor can it call for an exception because of the unfair treatment of Owen. After all, as some have pointed out, even if the mayor of New York does not back down, the initiative is still in Irving's hands, but it is only a matter of "a shot". However, Irving has previously publicly stated that he will not change his position because of the Nets' record this season. In Owen's view, one yard to one yard, whether to vaccinate, has long ceased to be a simple basketball problem.

Therefore, in the face of questions from all walks of life about the new York mayor's decision, the correct answer is not "the decision is suspected of double standards, so the ban should be lifted and Owen should be released", and even the correctness of Irving's approach is recognized; but "the decision has the suspicion of double standards, Irving can play at home, and vice versa; the away players must also be bound by New York's epidemic prevention regulations." ”

There are two sides to the conversation. If you tell you at the beginning of the season that the Nets will gather Irving and Ben Simmons, I don't know how everyone will feel. From the 2021 offseason to today, "confrontation" has become a theme in the duo's career and life. Simmons' confrontation is over (so to speak for itself?). He and the 76ers took what they needed, and to some extent were winners, after all, he came to a more suitable and hostile environment, fulfilled his long-cherished wish to leave the team, and although the fine was still not returned and did not know when to play, he at least let the other team executives who initially urged the 76ers "don't give in, don't let other stars follow suit" pounced.

But when it comes to the breadth and depth of the "confrontation," Simmons is still a small witch in front of Owen. After all, simmons and the 76ers' dispute is confined to a corner of Philadelphia, but Irving's decision has reached beyond Brooklyn, with NBA president Xiao Hua and the mayor of New York city being held hostage, followed by fan demonstrations calling on the Nets to lift Irving's ban. Judging from the fact that the Nets allowed Irving to return as a "part-time player" and that NBA big names, including James, spoke for Irving, Irving has also achieved a stage victory. If simmons and the 76ers dispute is commonplace, but it is just to make all walks of life sigh a "now NBA star power expansion", then Irving's problem has no precedent in the previous NBA.

The Nets' attitude is something to be played with. In dealing with Irving, the Nets executives took only a tentative step in the direction of emulating the 76ers' top brass and immediately retracted, becoming Durant and Irving's strongest supporters ever since, and even on harden's departure.

But whether that means the Nets are ready to pull out real money when they renew Irving this summer is still two things. The Nets were previously resolute, but perhaps the demonstrations by the fans gave them a glimpse of Irving's enormous appeal and the complexity of the Irving affair. It may be too much to say that the Nets have changed course because of this, but the impact of this on them is beyond doubt.

Of course, then again, the reason why the Irving incident is complicated is because Irving himself is too good, after all, the Nets and NBA executives can't make a big fuss for a water dispenser caregiver. Because of Irving's excellence, he has been able to have a large number of fans, and his transfer may also change the competitive landscape of the league upside down; but with him, you must also be mentally prepared to bear more than other stars.

Only Owen was in the middle of it. Just like today's game, he slammed 60 points to turn around, but left a thousand question marks and exclamation points in the hearts of the Nets executives, the NBA president and the mayor of New York. (Supine Braces/Hairy)
