On April 26, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA playoffs were in full swing. The Nets are trailing the Celtics 3-0 in the current Eastern Conference Focus Series, and they will play game 4 of the series today. Due to the team's poor performance, coach Nash has received a lot of criticism, and even been called down by many media.
Earlier today, Marc Stein gave an update on Nash. He said that Nets owner Tsai Chongxin was somewhat impulsive and unpredictable, and it was difficult to predict how he would deal with being eliminated in the first round of the season. You know, Nash got the nets manager job without any coaching experience, mainly because he had the support of Durant and the team owner. As long as Nash can continue to have the support of Tsai Chongxin and Durant, he is unlikely to be fired by the team.
In addition, a well-known ESPN reporter also reported about Simmons' absence from G4. He noted that Simmons met today with agent Rich Paul with Nets general manager Sean Max and other members of the Nets' management to discuss how to continue to work to overcome physical and mental obstacles to get Simmons back on the court.
In this meeting, Simmons once again emphasized his desire to represent the Nets, and the two sides discussed how to get Simmons back. Both sides agreed that Simmons had recovered well in the last two weeks, but ultimately concluded that Simmons still needed to recover physically and mentally from his comeback. The Nets believe Simmons has been mentally and physically recovering in recent months, and simmons still needs more time to recover.
In response to Simmons' absence today, famous Chris Broussard said on the show: "It's irritating and very harmful, I'm just telling the truth, I don't believe he's really hurt." I think he's just afraid to play professional basketball, which is a really bad situation. ”
Either way, the situation is very unfavorable for the Nets. If they don't win today, they'll be swept out by the Celtics, and there will certainly be more turmoil on the team.
