On April 26, Beijing time, when the Nets needed Simmons to come back the most, he flinched back before the G4 game, and Simmons said that he missed the game again with back pain. Now that the Nets have been swept away by the Celtics 4-0, Simmons has finally dodged the fate of the "back pot" on the court, but he has not played a game this season, which has also triggered continuous criticism and ridicule from public opinion, especially by netizens as: cowards.
Since last year's Eastern Conference semifinals, Simmons has become one of the important factors in Philadelphia's exit, he does not dare to shoot at key moments, three-point shots and free throws do not work, resulting in him after Philadelphia out, was madly attacked and burned by fans, and Rivers and Embiid also blamed Simmons. In such a contradictory situation, Simmons protested against Philadelphia management and teammates, was fined for refusing to play in the first half, and was traded to the Nets in the middle of the season.
Unexpectedly, after Simmons joined the Nets, he has been in a state of recuperation due to injury, and he has received injection treatment before, and even gradually resumed training, which is also expected to save the Nets in the first round of G4. After all, he was unable to wait for Simmons' comeback, he withdrew before the G4 game and did not play, even if he gave the reason for the injury, but the outside world thought that he was not because of the injury problem, but because of the psychological problem did not dare to play.
After the Nets were swept out, the American media media SwitchPoints tweeted and taunted Simmons, "Simmons averaged 0 points, 0 rebounds and 0 assists per game in the first round of the Green Army's 4-0 series of sweeps against the Nets, shooting zero. ”
The US media MarketPoints even listed Simmons' data for each game:
First game: 0 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists, shooting 0 points
Game 2: 0 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists, shooting 0 points
Game 3: 0 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists, shooting 0 points
Game 4: 0 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists, shooting 0 points
The Nets' journey this season has ended, and next season Simmons is always no reason not to play, this summer the Nets may change, Simmons' ownership probability will not change, after all, there is no need to trade him, and what Simmons can perform in the future is also expected.
