On April 10, Beijing time, the Brooklyn Nets on the other side of the ocean sent 3 messages, let's take a look.
Adu greeted 5 major milestones
This season, Basketball star Kevin Durant played well, playing in 54 games, averaging 30.1 points, 7.4 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 0.9 steals and 1 block per game, shooting 52.2% from the field, shooting 39.1% from three-point range and shooting 90.7% from the free throws, including scoring the second highest in his career, and setting a career-high in assists and free throw shooting. In the next regular season, Adu is about to usher in 5 major milestones, namely: 1. The total number of regular season appearances reached 939, surpassing the famous Maddy and others, rising to 205th in history; 2. Career rebounds surpassed the famous Cunningham (currently only 2 times) to rise to 136th in history; 3. The number of career assists surpassed the famous Rick Barry to 117th in history (currently only 1 time); 4. As long as he scored at least 27 points, Adu will become the first player in the history of the Nets to average 30+ points per season 5. As long as he scores at least 27 points, Adu will become the second-oldest player in history to average 30+ years per game in a single season, behind Lakers star James.
It is clear that as long as Adu plays at a normal level, he will achieve these 5 feats. It is worth mentioning that Durant just suffered a career-destroying Achilles tendon rupture two seasons ago, and the past two years have been injuries of all sizes and sizes, and it is not easy to play such a dominant performance in so many unfavorable situations, which is not only due to Adu's historical talent, but also inseparable from the hard work and sweat he has paid behind him. I have to say that Adu's enthusiasm and perseverance in treating basketball are extremely admirable, and I hope that he can maintain his health, create more records, and give more wonderful performances to fans.
Simmons is in a good state
Since being traded to the Nets by the 76ers, Ben Simmons has not played a game for his new club due to psychological construction and recovery from a back injury, and his recovery has become a topic of concern to many fans. Today, the Nets officially released a training video of the team, in which Ben Simmons went out and shot a catch and turned over backwards shot, a dribble stop shot a three-point shot.
It is not difficult to see from the video that Simmons is recovering very well, and it can be found from his three shots (Simmons increased the shooting point, reduced the elbow valgus, and increased the softness of the fingers and wrists), Simmons worked the shots he was not good at during the period of recuperation, and made good progress. At the same time, according to the Nets, although Simmons did not participate in group confrontation training today, his clutch training is very close (according to the Nets' regulations, three games of joint training can come back), which means that Simmons is becoming more and more likely to return to the game this season, and once Simmons returns, the Nets will really become a team that cannot be underestimated.
Key Battle Appearances Update
At 3:30 a.m. Beijing time tomorrow, the Nets will usher in the final game of the season' regular season, sitting at home against the Pacers. Today, the Nets officially updated the injury list and appearances of this game, specifically Joe Harris (left ankle injury), Simmons (return to game status / back soreness), Dragic (health and safety agreement) will be absent, AndesCuri (left ankle soreness) is likely to play. At present, the Nets are seventh in the East with 43 wins and 38 losses, and if they win this game, they can lock in seventh, and then the playoffs have home advantage, and only need to win one game to enter the playoffs, but if they lose this game, the Nets will likely fall to the ninth place in the East, so that the Nets will get two consecutive wins to enter the playoffs, and the difficulty and uncertainty will undoubtedly increase a lot. Therefore, this battle is not for the Nets to lose, and it will be seen whether they can win.
