On October 31, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued today. There are 11 games today, and teams such as the Warriors, Suns, Bucks and 76ers will all play. The Warriors are facing the Thunder at home, and they are expected to win their fifth win of the season. The Suns welcome back-to-back Cavaliers at home, and they may give the Cavaliers a 3-game losing streak. The Jazz and Bulls, who are temporarily at number one in the East and West, meet in a narrow road, which is a test for both teams. The Bucks' opponent is the 5-crowned Spurs, see how Popovich restricts the alphabet brother. Today, just one night, the Nets made a new decision, Boss Cai spoke out, Durant was fined, and Irving had good news.
Let's take a look at Durant's news first. Durant played well against the Pacers yesterday, having 22 points and 11 rebounds on 7-of-10 shooting, a small number of shots, a high shooting percentage and a 20+ number of points. However, NBA reporter Brian Lewis revealed in a tweet that Nets player Kevin Durant was fined $25,000 for throwing the ball into the stands during yesterday's game. It's normal for Durant to be a little emotional, after all, they were 26-38 behind in the first quarter of yesterday's game, and as the core of the team, they really need to show their dissatisfaction. As a top-paying player, $25,000 is nothing to him, and Durant can still afford to pay as long as he can motivate his teammates.
Let's take a look at boss Cai's news. Boss Cai said in an interview yesterday that they will continue to invest more in the team and that they will not care about the luxury tax. Boss Cai said that we will not reduce investment because we have to pay luxury taxes, and we are committed to playing excellent records to increase the value of the team. Today, Boss Cai spoke up again, saying: "We hope Irving can come back, but even if Irving doesn't play, we can still win." We have players like Durant, Harden and Joe Harris on our team, they're all very strong, and our goals aren't going to change. "It seems that Boss Cai is still very concerned about the Nets' record, no wonder Durant and Harden play so hard.
Let's look at the Nets' new decision. As the No. 27 and No. 29 shows this year, Thomas and Sharp both played well in preseason. Thomas, in particular, once fired 30+ points in a row to help the Nets win, and also sent a dead end to get the MVP of the Summer League. But in the regular season, both of them had a hard time getting a chance to play, and Nash didn't like to use them very much. Today, the Nets made a new decision, sending both of them to the Long Island Nets that developed the league for training. However, there is news that the two of them will be recalled in the Nets' game against the Pistons. I still hope that the two will train well and come back to replace Joe Harris.
Finally, let's take a look at Irving's news. Irving may have good news in the near future, and his return to the Nets is back to the dawn. According to US media reports, the New York city government will exchange a new mayor around November 2, and some policies may change. The mayor is said to be a fan of the Nets and may repeal the ban on forced vaccinations. In this way, Irving can play in the Home Game of the Nets, and the Nets' problems will be solved. Of course, once New York continues its policy of mandatory vaccinations, the Nets may have to consider trading Irving.
With Harden picking up and Aldridge erupting, Durant finally didn't have to play so tired. As Boss Cai said, even without Irving, they can still win and are still strong contenders for the championship. What do you think?
