The NBA regular season continues, and it can be said that the regular season has reached the most critical stage at this time. For teams on the brink of play-offs and play-offs, every game that follows is crucial. For example, the Lakers in the west and the Nets in the east. Remember that at the beginning of the season these two teams were considered to be the favorites to win the championship, but no one thought that they would play like this in the regular season. The Western Lakers have fallen out of the top 10 and are currently behind the Spurs in front of them, and for the Lakers, their next schedule is quite difficult, and it is difficult to qualify for the playoffs. The Eastern Nets are in a relatively better position, and they are still in the playoff zone at the 10th place in the East. In the next 4 games, they need to fight for more wins to stabilize and improve their rankings. At present, the Nets are still in trouble, the latest injury report was announced, head coach Nash officially announced reimbursement, the Nets were pitted, Durant said.
Near the playoffs, the Nets are still in an injury plight, and they will play against the Rockets next, after the Nets officially released the team's latest injury report. Bruce Brown (not COVID-19 illness) is promoted to a high probability play; Seth Curry (ankle) and James Johnson (COVID-19 illness) are in doubt; Dragic will be absent due to health and safety agreements. Speaking about Sesculli, head coach Nash said the team is looking into whether to let Seth Curry (left ankle sore) rest for the rest of the regular season. "That's where we are now... Do we want him to rest? Wouldn't it be better for him to take a week off? Or is he coming back right away? ”
In addition to coach Nash in an interview, he also talked about Simmons' injury problem, Nash said: Simmons can only do light training at the moment, we do not intend to let him skip three high-intensity training sessions directly. Nash said Simmons would miss play-offs this season.
From the above report, we can see that the Nets currently have a number of important players who are plagued by injuries, and their recovery will become extremely important for the Nets to play in the next regular season and playoffs. In particular, Ben Simmons, who got the deal, did not play a game after arriving at the team, and the regular season + play-offs were reimbursed! That's not so good for the Nets, and it could even be said that the Nets were pit by Simmons. In the previous trade, the Nets sent Harden away, and then exchanged for Simmons Sets curry and Drummond, the trade completed the discussion of the Nets, saying that they formed a new big three, under the leadership of the big three they will be strong counterattack. I didn't expect simmons to be injured after that, and he was plagued by illness and couldn't play. Now that it has been exposed that the regular season reimbursement and the strong performance of the 76ers next door after welcoming Harden, the Nets can be said to be miserable.
As for the team's current situation, Nets player Durant said in an interview that Durant does not care about the Nets' ranking and playing the playoffs. "Who cares? Just play, let's wait and see. "I feel like the watershed of our season is my injury. So, I don't feel like we're a weak team. It felt like our squad wasn't very stable, and then Irving and I often missed, and that's what happened. I love our squad when we're all on the pitch. "It's true that for the Nets, who rely on superstars to play, once the superstars are absent, then the Nets are basically cold. After all, Nash's coaching level is also obvious to all.
The Nets are currently in 10th place in the Eastern Conference standings, and the number of wins and losses with other major competitors is not much different, so the next game is extremely critical for the Nets to win more games. Next, they have to play against the Rockets, Knicks, Cavaliers and Pacers, against the Rockets was originally a welfare bureau for the Nets, but it was also a key battle, but the absence of many players on the team affected the strength of the Nets to a certain extent, and this key game the Nets must win. They need to win more games to stabilize their rankings.
