On March 24, Beijing time, a joint report from a number of media said that New York will change the relevant policies of the private sector on Thursday local time. As a Nets employee, Irving will be eligible for home games. According to the arrangement, as soon as next Monday, Irving will make his home debut this season at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Coach Nash couldn't help but laugh out loud when he was interviewed.
Nash was not unexpectedly asked this question in his pre-match press conference. Nash tried to control his expression at first, trying to make himself appear calm, but when he said, "I welcome you to this," Nash still didn't hold back and couldn't help but laugh. Although Nash later tried very hard to regain calm, he was clearly in a good mood at this time.
As we all know, Nash has come under tremendous pressure this season. Leading a Nets that originally had three superstars, lined up a record-breaking starting lineup and is now only 8th in the East. But with Durant and Irving combined, the Nets will return to being competitive last season. You must know that in the playoffs last season, the Nets were only one toe away from Durant in the East Finals.
For the Nets, the combination of Durant and Irving is a huge positive. But that's not good news for the Nets' potential rivals in the playoffs. Currently, the Nets are no. 8 in the East, two wins away from the No. 7 Raptors. Because the gap between the 6th is too large, it is widely believed that the Nets will beat the Raptors through the playoffs to get the 7th position and play against the second place in the East.
At present, the second place in the east is like a hot potato. The Bucks, Philadelphia and Celtics have only 0.5 wins, but whoever it is, I'm afraid they don't want to touch the Nets. Earlier, Philadelphia even took turns directly to play Harden and Embiid. Because no one wants to face the Nets who own Durant in the first round. And now, it's the Nets with Durant and Irving.
