After all, Harden mispaid, according to The Athletic Shams, multiple sources revealed that basketball star Kyrie Irving will be allowed to participate in the home game, because New York City will change the private sector's vaccine policy on Thursday local time, allowing athletes and performers to obtain (vaccine) exemptions in the workplace. Irving can play at home, which means that the Nets will be fully prepared for the playoffs.
Today, the team challenged the Grizzlies on the road, and Irving could play, so the Nets' starting lineup was Durant + Irving + Brown + Drummond + Edwards. On the Grizzlies side is Bane + Dillon + Triple Hook + Jones + Adams.
120-132！ For the Nets, it's a real shame. The two cores played hard, especially Irving, who staged more than one dozen many times, played 42 minutes of the game, full firepower, 15 of 27 shots, 6 of 11 three-pointers, 7 free throw opportunities, 7 of 7 free throws, the highest score of the game was 43 points, and there were 2 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal and 1 block data. Durant is not bad today, 12 of 28, 10 of 10 from the free throw line, 35 points, 11 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks, double-doubles, but your two cores play like this, and it is difficult to stop the Nets from losing.
In the past, it has always been said that head coach Nash does not use people, only to die of core players, as for some role players, they either sit on the cold bench all the time or symbolically play for a few minutes, but today, this is really not the case! Although the Nets only had 4 players in rotation today, Mills played 24 minutes, Thomas played 16 minutes, Clarkston played 20 minutes, Johnson played 10 minutes, compared to the past, such playing time is enough, but Nash used them, today is their own problem, can not play. Mills was too iron today, played 24 minutes, shot 4 of 0, three points did not score, 24 minutes of playing time, contributed 0 points, 1 rebound and 0 assists, and Thomas, 16 minutes to score 4 points, so this game, really do not blame Nash, Nash gave them enough playing time, is that they can't play themselves, do not help the team, is their problem.
And for the Nets, the crisis isn't about losing, it's Irving here. Although Irving can already play in the team's home game, but if you look at the Nets' current record, they are ranked eighth in the East, and the first place in front of them is the Raptors. So if you enter the playoffs in such a situation, it means that the Nets will have to challenge the Raptors on the road, and the Raptors' home is Toronto, Toronto's epidemic prevention regulations, Irving can not play, so now the Nets' first problem is to avoid the Raptors, or they get home advantage themselves.
