This season's regular season is like this, if you want to talk about the two favorite teams before the start of the game, the Lakers directly missed the playoffs, and the Nets side stood on the shore with one foot. The Lakers' exit is a huge loss for the league, after all, the playoffs without James always feel almost meaningless. There are objective reasons why the Nets have struggled throughout the season. But the regular season has turned over and become an established fact. So what's the noteworthy information lately? Take a look today. The Nets are happy to be in the door! One man picked up the treasure 9-in-9, Nash was firing smoke bombs, and Owen made up his mind.
The Nets are happy first, and the playoffs have home advantage. After the Nets beat the Pacers, the team officially locked the ranking at no. 7. For the Nets, it was the best ending. As we all know, the playoffs are a game of certainty, and if the Nets are in this position, even if they lose the first game, they have another game to play, which can be said to have two lives, and they are playing at their own home. Considering that the first opponent was the Cavaliers, the Nets were still extremely sure of winning. However, after officially entering the playoffs, the Nets should be careful, and their opponents are either the Heat or the Bucks. Both teams are tough, and in a full series, it's critical for the Nets duo to stand the test.
The Nets were second best, with Drummond going too strong for 9-of-9. Drummond is the Nets' supporting role puzzle on Harden's deal, and what no one expected was that coming to the Nets played a great value.

In the whole game, Zhuang Shen 20 points, 13 rebounds and 2 blocks, it can be said that he picked up the treasure. Considering that the Nets' first opponent in the playoffs is the overall tall Cavaliers, Drummond's side can come in handy. In terms of the value of these two seasons, Drummond played the most at the Nets, just look at what kind of data Drummond can play in the playoffs, which will help him with his next contract.
As for when Simmons will make a comeback, it can now be said that all kinds of news are flying around. Shams revealed that Simmons is expected to make a comeback in the playoffs, as long as the legs and back strength are strengthened. However, Nets coach Nash bluntly said that Simmons did not train at full speed, and when asked whether Simmons could play in the playoffs, Nash did not deny or affirm. To put it bluntly, Nash is playing psychological warfare and at the same time releasing smoke bombs. If the information is revealed in advance now, the opponents in the playoffs will make targeted adjustments. Now if it is virtual and real, it will disrupt the deployment of the opponent to a certain extent, after all, before the series, everyone likes to play this trick.
On the other hand, Owen's side has also made up his mind, saying that he has been frustrated with himself for the past three years and hopes that there will be a best result this year. In a way, Durant is the Nets' lower limit, and Irving determines the team's ceiling. Now that Irving is free and the team is in danger, let's see if he can put it into action. Overall, the Nets have had so much to do after the update this season.
