Spanning the Statin Rock Indian Settlement, which spans north and south Dakota, is the birthplace of Owen's mother, Elizabeth. When Owen was four years old, Elizabeth died of illness at the age of 29, owen always wanted to know more about his mother, visiting Elizabeth's family home became a way for Owen to communicate with her mother's heart.
In this place with a strong sense of history, Owen met relatives with whom he was related by blood, and Mavolta was one of them, she was Owen's cousin, and was affectionately called "aunt" by Owen.
Owen gives Marvota a handbag full of cash, and they eat together and talk about native American history, and Marvotta feels that Owen is not very happy despite his successful career and rich life.
"He asked me, 'Auntie, who else do you think I can trust?' Marvolta recalled.
Perhaps because he lost his mother at a very young age, or perhaps for other reasons, Owen always looked at the world with a skeptical eye, sometimes with surprising words, such as "The Horizon Theory". Owen is not anti-science, but in his view, existence is not necessarily right, and the more chaotic the situation, the lower his sense of trust.
For example, in the treatment of injuries, whether during the Cavaliers, Celtics or Nets, Irving has been injured, if the injury is more serious, Irving will have doubts, he suffered a shoulder injury in his first year of playing for the Nets, there was a crisis of trust, refusing to be examined by the team doctor, which surprised the team management. It is normal for players, especially stars, to consult on many aspects after injury, but it is extremely rare to completely exclude team doctors.
Because of the lack of trust, it is not surprising when Owen resolutely does not vaccinate. Owen is not opposed to the vaccine itself, but can not believe the legitimacy of the New York Municipality's rule that you will lose your job without vaccination, and given the social background in the United States, it is difficult to evaluate whether Owen's idea is right or wrong.
However, from a basketball perspective, Irving's approach directly brought two negative effects, one is that he himself lost his salary, and the other is that the team lost his combat output in 35 home games.
The main reason why Harden insisted on going, the main reason is that the Nets do not see the hope of winning the championship in the short term, although Harden did not publicly admit it, but in his eyes, the Nets' chances of rushing to the championship plummeted, which must be related to Irving's part-time job, when the Nets' big three were combined last season, they could kill the Celtics in the playoffs, beat the Bucks to lose their armor, and finally unfortunately lost to the injury, and this season the three of them played two games together, Harden really can't afford to wait.
Irving's stubbornness led to the disintegration of the Nets' Big Three, in exchange for Ben Simmons' comeback time is still yet to be determined, a series of negative factors caused the Nets from the first free fall in the East to the playoffs. According to common sense, a team that needs to play a playoff to enter the playoffs will not be included in the title candidate, but the Nets are an exception because they have Durant and because Irving finally lifted the ban at home.
The New York municipality gave professional athletes a vaccine exemption, which is not a complete victory for Owen, because he received special treatment as a member of a special group, which attracted a lot of criticism, and the police association publicly expressed its dissatisfaction through email, not understanding why New York gave the sports star the green light and gave the unvaccinated group a different treatment.
But just as Irving's non-vaccination is bad at basketball level, his return to full time is good at basketball level. Owen's personality is mixed, he has a stubborn side, there is also a friendly side, very enthusiastic about public welfare, and is the kind of real self-payment, not through the foundation and other cumbersome procedures, let alone sell fame and reputation.
In the George Freud incident, someone shouted all kinds of affirmative action, but Owen quietly bought a house for Freud's family, and if it were not for Stephen Jackson, who was close to the Freud family, the outside world would not have known that Owen had this action.
Owen's skills are clearly not as discredited as his personality, he is an indiscriminate, version-limited attacker, playing practical and ornamental, and constantly strengthening his lethality on the field. This season's Irving has changed a lot from before, the complex dribbling in the past has been reduced, the action is more crisp and clean, and after taking the ball, it can quickly read the defense to launch an attack almost instinctively, simplifying the complexity.
Irving has played a stop-and-go for most of the season, although it is conducive to physical reserves, but it is not conducive to the state of rhythm maintenance, averaging 27.4 points per game, averaging 30 points per game since March, 4 games 40+, two games 50+, a record-breaking 60 points in personal and team history, and the firepower is quite explosive.
The Nets, in terms of staffing and coaching style, are not a defensively dominant team, and their favorite and best way of playing is to bring the game to one-on-one.
As evidenced by the data, the Nets are the team that has averaged the most points per singles per round and per game this season, and the basis for them to play this way is to have the two masters of singles, Durant Irving. Of the players who have averaged at least five singles per game this season, only five can average more than one point per singles per game, with Irving and Durant taking two of them.
Strong strength is Irving's "willful" strength, and Irving's strength is the nets' confidence in the championship despite being in the playoffs. When Irving is on the floor this season, the Nets can shoot 121 points per 100 rounds, and when Irving is not on the floor, the Nets' 100-round score drops to 112 points.
Irving is also the most effective player in the Nets lineup to relieve Durant's burden. When Irving was on the floor, Durant's usage was 26.9 percent and his true shooting percentage was 66.9 percent, and when Irving wasn't on the floor, Durant's usage increased to 32.2 percent and his true shooting percentage dropped to 62.9 percent. When Irving and Durant play together, the Nets can win 13.4 points per 100 rounds.
The team's overall offensive and defensive combat strength determines the lower limit of performance, the sun is the most typical representative, they do not easily catch the flaws of the opponent at both ends of the attack and defense, the tactical system runs smoothly, the tacit understanding between the players is high, highlighting a "stable" word, which is the Nets' flaw this season, a series of reactions caused by Irving's non-vaccination, coupled with the intrusion of injuries, making the Nets' game quality fluctuate.
However, the individual ability of the star determines the team's ceiling, which is where the Nets have an advantage. Irving's vaccine storm has depressed the Nets' performance value in the regular season, but he has the opportunity to raise the Ultimate Ceiling of the Nets this season, which is to lose Irving, Cheng also Irving.
Perhaps, Owen's 100,000 whys of doubt can be used like this -
"Why can't I reverse this season, why can't we be champions?"
