After almost a season of tugging, Irving is about to return as a full-time player, and the Nets are finally out of the way.
According to The Famous Wooj, New York has revised the relevant epidemic control rules, and Irving is about to qualify for the home game.
Shams followed up with reports that New York has indeed revised the private sector's vaccine policy, and if nothing else, Irving will make his home debut next Monday in the Nets' game against the Hornets.
In this case, Irving happened to return to the team, leading the team with KD to challenge the Western Conference's big dark horse Grizzlies.
As soon as the game began, the Nets were in full swing, but because the team's defense was like paper paste, the Nets, who scored 32 points in a single quarter, trailed by 8 points at the end of the first quarter.
The second quarter came up, the state did not change in the slightest, the Nets gave and demanded on the offensive end, but it was difficult to stop the Grizzlies from blossoming more, and by the end of the half, the point difference had been stretched to as much as 14 points.
Yi bian fought again, the two teams are still a battle of bombardment, with Durant and Irving joining forces, the Nets filled in the double digits in this quarter, and took a 1-point lead into the final quarter of the battle.
After entering the final quarter of the competition, the Nets situation took a sharp turn, the Grizzlies greatly increased the defensive intensity, Durant and Irving's offensive efficiency plummeted, while the Grizzlies were still blossoming at many points, under the leadership of Bane.
The Grizzlies, who eventually played at home, continued their fiery performance in the absence of Morant, easily beating the Nets 132-120.
Although the Nets lost the game, because Irving is about to return full-time, the team is still happy to keep their mouths shut, and the outside world is also very optimistic about the Nets' prospects for winning the championship this season.
After the game, Nash was naturally asked about the topic of Irving's upcoming return, and at first Nash maintained a consistent attitude until he said: "I welcome this", and finally couldn't hold back and directly showed a very proud smile.
Obviously, in Nash's coaching habits, if Irving can return for a long time, then the Nets' offensive tactics around the top players will be well implemented.
And Irving also showed why he returned in this game, and the team's head coach Nash will be so excited.
In the whole game, Irving played 43 minutes, shooting 15 of 27, 6 of 11 three-pointers, 7 free throws, 43 points plus 2 boards, 8 assists, 1 break and 1 cap.
This is a microcosm of Irving's impressive performance in the past period, scoring 60, 50 and 43 points in a single game in the last four games.
And Irving's exaggerated personal scoring performance does not affect Durant, nor is it affected by the Nets lineup adjustment, even if Drummond is added to occupy the space of the interior line, Durant and Irving are still unstoppable.
In this game, Durant played 39 minutes, 12-of-28 shooting, and had 35 points, 11 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.
It was also the third consecutive game in which Durant scored at least 35 points, the longest in Nets history.
Therefore, in the case of the two core states are so hot, even if the Nets unexpectedly lose to the Grizzlies this game, the outside world is still very optimistic about the Nets' prospects for winning the championship.
The famous Perkins bluntly said that when Irving returns full-time, all teams in the league will usher in a moment of terror, and the domestic famous Yang Yi ridiculed Harden who had forced the palace to leave the team before, saying bluntly: "Dengge, Dengge, you say you are in a hurry." ”
If Irving can really return full-time, then Harden, who forced the palace to leave the team, has indeed become the biggest loser, after all, he has twice chosen to force the palace to leave the team, both in order to compete for the championship, and after Irving's return, the Nets are most likely to compete for the championship.
