No, recently, the local media in Brooklyn took a recent photo of Simmons communicating with the trainer. It is not difficult to find that Simmons' muscles have deteriorated greatly than before. Not only are the chest muscles and abdominal muscles gone, but the unicorn arm that I was proud of before seems to have shrunk seriously. The whole body is like a white-cut chicken, and I can't see the slightest sense of strength.
You know, Simmons, who was still in the 76 ers' period at that time, had a very good figure. Look at the picture above, and you will understand that not only are the two big pectoral muscles plump, but his arms are also strong. Compared with his current time in the Nets, he is completely different.
Now, due to Durant's injury and Owen's part-time playing, Harden, the only star with the highest attendance rate in the Nets, was traded and replaced by Simmons, who was also unable to play. Today's Nets record has also plummeted. At present, only 32 wins and 3 1 losses rank eighth in the east, which is far from qualified for the Nets aiming to win the championship. At that time, the transaction between Harden and Simmons was also regarded as a turning point in the cost season by many Nets fans, hoping to change the decline of the Nets through this transaction, which naturally disappointed the fans. So, can Simmons be the savior of the Nets?
In my opinion, the possibility is very small. The first is the quality of stars. No matter which period Simmons is, he is not a star of the same level as Harden. Compared with Harden, Simmons' only advantage is undoubtedly the strength and size of the defensive end. What Simmons can bring to the Nets is undoubtedly a better defender, which can fill the loopholes for the backcourt combination of Owen, Mills and Kokuri, and even defend the inside rebounds.
But at the same time, the Nets have to pay the price of enduring Simmons' short shot. The possibility of hitting 5 on the offensive end makes the shooting environment of Owen and Durant worse, because no matter how hard Harden tries, the opponent can't empty Harden, but the opponent can properly empty Simmons on the offensive end and better target Owen and Durant. Simmons, whose selling point is to match the ball, also proves that his passing is not as good as Harden's, and his breakthrough and killing ability is not even as good as Harden's. Therefore, the Nets suffered heavy losses on the offensive end.
Therefore, the only thing that Nets fans can expect is that Durant and Owen often play a stable role in the game, both of them get 30+, Mills and Kokuri supplement the shooting space, and Simmons plays a huge role in the defensive end. Such a Nets can be called a championship team, but in the case that Simmons is in poor condition and Owen can't play at home, the future of Nets is still foggy. (ikuet)
