Beijing time on April 26, if you want to say the two most disappointing teams this season, the first is definitely the Lakers, the Lakers with the big three can't even enter the playoffs, which is a great shame, the second must be the Nets, the Nets originally had the big three at the beginning of the season, unfortunately, under durant, Irving and Nash's "step by step", Harden resolutely chose to leave, and the final result was seen by everyone, the Nets took the last train of the playoffs, but they were swept by the Celtics, and the journey of the season was also ended early.
For Durant, this is destined to be a season of scorn, indirectly forcing Harden away, but also snubbing the little brother in the All-Star Game. After Harden left, the Nets met the 76ers on March 11, in that game, KD and Irving saw Harden as if they had seen an enemy, played very bloodily, won the opponent by 29 points, after the game Durant and Irving celebrated wildly, as if they had won the championship, but unexpectedly, in the end, the Joker became themselves, in these four games, Durant and Irving's bloody nature suddenly disappeared.
Although currently chased by the Raptors to 2-3, the 76ers are still leading on the aggregate, while the Nets have already returned home early for the holiday. It turns out that If Durant did not join the Warriors with 73 wins, he may not have won a championship, and the Loss of the Nets also directly explains the fact that Durant is just a pure scorer, his ability to lead the team is overestimated, compared with James, his gap is not a little bit, he can not help the team win, nor can he make his teammates better.
The Nets' crushing sweep hit Durant very hard, and a disappointed Durant immediately announced a new decision: to participate in the team's team building work this summer and personally select new teammates. Obviously, this offseason, the Nets have a few players who are most likely to leave, such as Simmons, such as Joe Harris, and even Irving. Durant knew that the Nets' strength was far from the standard of winning the championship, so he decided to choose the right helper for himself, make a comeback, and make a comeback. After missing the Eastern Conference semifinals, Irving also immediately made an urgent statement.
Irving said he just wants to stay with the Nets and really doesn't want to go anywhere, and the implication is obvious: Boss Cai, you want to renew your contract with me at the top salary. Why is Owen so anxious to show his attitude? Because he knows that what he has done all season, as well as the performance on the court, in addition to the Nets, except for Boss Cai, other teams can not give him a maximum salary contract, for other teams, Irving has become a time bomb, a locker room cancer, now Irving, estimated 20 million Many teams do not dare to want, let alone 30 million, 40 million.
Before that, Chuang also made it clear that he wanted to stay in Brooklyn, including players like Bruce Brown who were willing to stay. But Simmons was silent because he didn't have the face to say anything about renewing his contract, he cheated the 76ers for half a season, cheated on the Nets for half a season, and both teams were most likely tired of him. In a way, Simmons is more speechless than Irving, Irving at least played, but Simmons even played a luxury, such professional ethics may be Simmons's unique characteristics.
The Nets became a "bad net," Durant became a "Du softman," and Irving really "became a fairy, but there was a Simmons." Two gods gathered in a team, the Nets are five Jordans, I am afraid it will be difficult to win the championship. Duran is particularly proud, a few pounds and a few pounds, weighing the point, O'Neal said no, only four people in the league do not need to prove themselves, Durant also needs to prove himself; Barkley's remarks also have a certain truth, do not join a team with 73 wins, just say that they are champions.
