Irving appeared in the Nets training camp.
The players smiled and seemed to have cleared the haze of last season's defeat. But Harden said in an interview earlier that they knew the real reason for losing to the Bucks, and everyone didn't care too much.
The appearance of Owen released several signals.
1. Irving's nucleic acid test must be passed, otherwise the team will not allow him to contact the players. In other words, at least there is currently no risk of infection, and the team is healthy.
2. Owen is willing to go to training camp, indicating that his relationship with the team has not broken. Up to the head coach, down to the players, all showed support for Irving. In other words, Irving was not isolated and the team was united.
3. During the training camp, the Big Three are together every day, Durant and Harden will definitely persuade Irving. It is rumored that Irving is very likely to be vaccinated under Durant's influence. It is not difficult to find from the photos that Irving’s eyes looking at Adu are full of trust. Whether it was leaving the team for personal reasons last season or the current vaccine incident, the other two giants in the team all expressed their unconditional support and trust. Owen is a man of love and righteousness, and he will not wrongly pay his brother in the face of righteousness.
As for when the vaccine will be vaccinated, and whether Irving can catch up with the first game of the regular season, it is still unknown. But one thing is certain, Irving is not a bad guy. He actively speaks for black people, donates epidemic prevention materials to his tribe, and the public welfare and charities he has done in the past are enough to explain. Irving is kind, but he has a unique heart and thoughts, easy to conflict with the world, but he has never forgotten the professional ethics that players should follow.For the championship, I believe that things can be resolved satisfactorily.
In addition, according to ESPN reporters, the league has notified the teams on Tuesday night that they are working with the players union to reach a new set of health and safety agreements for the upcoming regular season.
This agreement stipulates that unvaccinated players will be subject to many restrictions.
On the other hand, vaccinated players are less restricted. For example, all players, front-line staff, coaches and referees who have completed the vaccination, as well as those who need to work regularly within 15 feet, do not have to undergo nucleic acid testing every day.
In addition, vaccinated players only need to be tested if they have symptoms or become close contacts. Players who have not been vaccinated must undergo daily testing before entering team facilities, participating in team-organized activities, or interacting with other players and front-line personnel.
Besides, players who have not been vaccinated must also abide by a set of strict regulations. These measures include: prohibiting eating in the same room with any other players or first-level personnel at the same time; requiring to maintain a distance of at least six feet from other people (and always wearing a mask); during the treatment, requiring other players to be treated at the same time Players should maintain a distance of at least six feet (and always wear a mask); a separate locker is required, as far away as possible from other players, and not close to another player who has not been vaccinated.
Players who have not been vaccinated must stay in their residences during the home game and must stay in the team hotel during the away game. The only exceptions are team activities and basic life activities, such as shopping for groceries or taking children to school. They are not allowed to go to any restaurants, bars, clubs, entertainment venues or large indoor gatherings. They can only communicate face-to-face with a limited number of close friends.And the other party must be tested in advance.
If they are close contacts, fully vaccinated players do not need to be quarantined unless there is an "abnormal situation", although they usually have to undergo rapid testing every day for the next seven days. Players who have not been vaccinated must be quarantined for 7 days anyway.
There is a problem here. That is, if Irving has not been vaccinated, he must abide by the above complicated regulations. For him with strong self-esteem, he will inevitably feel that his personal freedom is restricted. I am afraid that there will be unpleasantness, retiring or leaving the team again, this is not what everyone is willing to see.
The Nets can be said to have gone through ups and downs. At the beginning of the formation of the Big Three, the team was attacked by injuries. It was easy to overcome difficulties and entered the playoffs with the second record in the East. Harden and Owen lost again one after another. All members of the team are healthy this season. Ade, Millsap , Mills and many other giants have been added, but they have encountered Irving's vaccine incident.
But if it is said that the Nets do not have a championship, I disagree.
Take a step back, Irving’s matter is an internal contradiction, and the Nets will resolve it internally. The team that has gone through ups and downs has only two endings, either disintegration or collapse, or Nirvana rebirth. With this Nets, I don't see the first sign, it's more about unity from top to bottom, just for the same goal.
Irving has become the Nets’ biggest X factor? No, Durant won’t let
