According to sources from many sources, including veteran journalist Shams, Simmons' comeback is progressing smoothly and is expected to make an official comeback in the fourth game of the first round of the series. This is good news for Nets fans, especially as the team is currently 0-2 behind and is in desperate need of strong support to play the Greenshirts.
But will Simmons' comeback really solve the problem? I advise Nets fans not to be overly optimistic. First of all, Simmons has not played for a whole year, and the comeback is the intensity of the playoffs, and he is not optimistic that his state can be immediately reflected. Secondly, Simmons and the Nets have not officially run into a game, the first game is a life-and-death battle like the playoffs, cautiously optimistic about his chemistry with the team.
Finally, let's not forget last year's playoffs, what kind of performance did Simmons do? With the offensive end afraid to shoot and the free throws slashed, the Celtics would take advantage of Simmons' weaknesses well. Of course, if Simmons can play his own organizational and defensive value, it will be beneficial for the Nets, but after being absent for so long, can he beat the demons?
