Woj and Shams, a pair of increasingly competitive mentors and apprentices, almost back-and-forth, ahead of the Start of the Nets' away game against the Grizzlies, was about to change private-sector vaccine policy on Thursday local time, allowing athletes and performers to obtain (vaccine) exemptions in the workplace. This means that as soon as next Monday's Nets playing The Hornets, Irving can make his debut at barclays center this season.
Considering that the Knicks are almost certain to enter the playoffs, new York will naturally shift some attention to the Nets; coupled with the fact that New York Mayor Eric Adams has publicly said that he is a Brooklyn fan, it has been exposed by the US media that Adams intends to create a level playing field for athletes and performers to cooperate with allowing unvaccinated individuals to perform in New York City, and it is not a surprise that the vaccine ban has been lifted.
In a way, letting Irving play at home is also a decision that has the potential to change the structure of the league.
In fact, before the start of the season, the Nets have always been at the top of the championship odds list given by various agencies; even if the season has been played for more than half of the season, the Nets seem to be difficult to break into the top 6 of the division and directly enter the playoffs, but in the list given by various agencies, they are still the team with the highest odds for the Eastern Conference championship. The main reason why the Nets' rankings have fallen to the middle, the institution is still optimistic about them, the main reason is their strong home, and the 711 combination's strong ability to attack. Even if they didn't hit the Bucks last year, that series is enough to prove that even the defending champion Bucks, who have a top defensive configuration, may not be able to come up with ways to limit Irving and Durant.
Of course, unlike last year's Nets that completely bet on the attack, now this Nets have a more balanced attack and defense due to the addition of Zhuang Shen, Simmons and others. On the offensive end, there are Durant and Irving, two singles points that make it difficult for the other side to guard against, there are top pitchers such as Curry Jr. and Mills, there are Dragic in the second lineup, and there is "Le Brown", which steals chickens, and the inside line also hoards the squat God, the middle throw god Ade, and Clarkston, who can participate in the unlimited change of defense, and there are simmons and Harris sitting in the injury list; the net's lineup configuration is enough to make most of the coaches in the league hungry; it can even be said that in addition to nash and Simmons, these two X factors, When the Nets really have a hard time catching the Achilles heel by their opponents, even if they are likely to play the playoffs, they are enough to scare the other teams in the East except the Bucks; Perkins has already tweeted on social platforms: "Full-time Irving!" #恐怖时刻. ”
The main reason why Deng Ge chose to leave the Nets was because he was dissatisfied with the environment around him and wanted to change places to compete for the championship. However, in order to get Deng, Philadelphia not only sent Simmons, but also sent Chuang Shen and the team's best three-pointer Curry, resulting in big problems in Philadelphia's outside firepower and interior rotation. In fact, Philadelphia's paper strength and team cap are inherently inferior to those of the Nets and Bucks.
And the final moments of playing the Raptors also proved once again that the three highest paid players on the 76ers, Harden, Embiid and Tobias. Harris played key balls one by one; the 76ers' prospects for the title were far less promising than when the Nets, would Dengo regret going to Philadelphia in the name of the title race?
