On April 25, Beijing time, the Nets are currently at an absolute disadvantage of 0-3, and it can be said that the playoff journey has basically ended. For Nash, though, he still had the last straw to live on, and that was Ben Simmons. A week ago, news was that Simmons might make a comeback at G3, however, the opposite turned out, with Simmons, like the rest of the audience, sitting for a full 48 minutes. After G3 lost to the Celtics, news suggested that Simmons would most likely make a comeback in G4.
Unfortunately, the same plot is played out again, and according to the famous Shams, Simmons has determined that he will not be able to play the fourth battle between the two sides. Sources revealed that Simmons suddenly said that his back pain was capricious and that he was unable to complete normal basketball moves. Strangely enough, Simmons had been training for 10 days and had no pain in his back, but when the team needed him, he said that he had a problem with his back, and the two sides finally agreed after consultation that Simmons would miss all the next games unless the Nets could perform a miracle and advance to the semifinals.
That said, Simmons' season was reimbursed because no team in NBA history has ever been able to complete a comeback without falling behind 3-0, and given the overall strength of the Celtics and the Nets' recent mental state, the turnaround is even more difficult to turn over. Simmons not only hurt the Philadelphia 76ers, but also seriously hurt the Nets, at the beginning of the season, he and Irving made the NBA league unstable, from now on, he is more disrespectful than Irving, Simmons such a playboy, really not suitable for playing, more suitable for going to nightclubs.
You know, this season, Simmons's annual salary is as high as 33 million, second only to Durant and Irving, but since joining the Nets for more than two months, so far a game has not been played, the Nets 33 million can be said to have signed an ancestor, completely adrift. This year, Durant's life is really bad, there was Irving in the locker room, Irving this time bomb, unexpectedly, now there is another Simmons this tumor. For Durant, he was self-inflicted, and all the problems of keeping Harden could be solved, but he chose Irving.
Look at the 76ers, who are now playing well and looking like they are about to reach the Eastern Conference semifinals, while the Nets are already hanging on the line, and that's the difference. Durant chose the path, kneeling and going to finish. Looking back at Harden's previous decision, it can only be said that Harden is too smart, he has already seen through everything, Irving is destined to be an unsupportable Adou, and Simmons is not so. After entering the league for so many years, the level of shooting is not as good as that of an ordinary basketball enthusiast, which is a shame.
