The 21-22 season was a complete failure for the Brooklyn Nets. If anyone is to blame, from the editor's point of view, it is Owen! A. Smith said: "Irving is one of the most delusional players in American history. Perkins said, "Owen, why don't you attack Jaylen Brown, Tatum, Smart, and the others?" Earlier, Owen tweeted that his name is worth billions to the media, which makes money by disparaging black influences, and the distorted world is not surprising.
In the first round of the playoffs, the Nets were swept 0-4 by the Celtics, and this Nets had no way to fight back against the Celtics! For Kyrie Irving, in fact, many things about the Nets this season are caused by him, refusing to be vaccinated from the earliest time and missing the game, but the Nets have given enough trust, Irving has repeatedly insisted + the Nets have supported and finally ushered in a part-time play! But the result is that the Nets sent Harden 2 for 5, Durant suffered an injury, what if Irving was vaccinated at the beginning?
Of course, Irving's locker room privilege may also affect the cohesion of the team, this Nets is very direct, the first round of the playoffs of the fight and momentum is far less than the Green Army. Owen enjoyed his privilege while not responding best with his actions.
In the first round of the playoffs, Irving averaged 21.3 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game in 42.5 minutes per game, shooting 44.4 percent from the field but 38.1 percent from three-point range. In fact, Irving is not efficient, and the advanced net efficiency is -3.3 74th in the league.
Owen enjoyed his leadership rights and made wild comments on social media, but returning to the court didn't always respond. A big contract of 4 years and $136 million, but the net efficiency of playoffs is negative, which really can't be said!
The most direct words are the famous A. Smith's comments: "Owen only cares about what he wants, he ignores others, and his selfishness has caused the Nets to fail." Even when Irving talked about being swept away and said that it would be the driving force for them to reach the top of the league in the future, Irving was also questioned a lot.
For the Nets, there is also a lot of uncertainty about the new season! Irving's $4-year, $136 million contract expires in 2023, but Irving has player options for 2022. Even if Irving said that he wanted to stay with the Nets, he could refer to what he said to the Cavaliers and Green Army, and it was indeed not 100% credible. For Adu, he will also be at the Nets in the next few years after signing a big contract, but Irving has not been vaccinated so far, so what about the new season? What if there are new changes to the regulations? Everything is unknown, hanging!
