The news that Owen and Wiggins refused to be vaccinated spread like wildfire. Although there are still a few players in the league who have not been vaccinated, Owen and Wiggins have become representatives who refuse to be vaccinated, because they are the main players of their respective teams, and Jinzhou and new york have strict regulations that players are not allowed to participate in home games without vaccination. However, after Wiggins completed the vaccination recently, Owen became the representative of "die-hard", because if he still refuses to vaccinate, he will miss all home games in the new season, which will not only damage the strength of the Nets, but also cast a shadow over the prospect of winning the championship, and it is likely to endanger the health and safety of other players in the league. Although the league has not yet issued relevant regulations on compulsory vaccination for players, they have been trying to use some other restrictions to urge players to complete vaccination as soon as possible.

According to the latest report of NBA salary expert Bobby Marks, the NBA and the players' union have reached an agreement. If unvaccinated players miss the game due to local regulations, then these players will be deducted from the salary of 1/9 1.6 per game in the current season.

Take Nets star Owen as an example. If he can't participate in the home game of the Nets because he is not vaccinated, he will lose $ 388+00000 per game. Owen's annual salary in the new season is $34,965,438+0,000. If he misses 465,438+0 home games, he will lose at least $65,438+0,745, which is half of his salary.

It can be said that the league has made such a regulation, which is undoubtedly a heavy blow to these players who have not been vaccinated. Although the players' union does not agree to compulsory vaccination in order to protect the freedom of players, it is obvious that the players' union agrees to such a penalty measure, which is also the role of urging vaccination. I hope these players will not bring uncontrollable risks to the league because of their personal interests. For the Nets, this is obviously good news. The introduction of such regulations by the league is tantamount to giving them assists.

If Owen misses 465,438+0 regular-season games in the new season, there is no doubt that the overall strength of the Nets will be affected. Although Durant and Harden are two superstars in the lineup, they need Owen to stand up and share the pressure in the face of some opponents who are also contenders for the championship. Moreover, if Owen plays away from home, such a game rhythm is also extremely unfavorable for the Nets to build a stable tactical system. If the whole season can't form a stable system and style of play, it will be more difficult for the Nets to hit the championship in the playoffs and high-intensity competition.

After losing last season, the team made many signings in the offseason and was full of confidence. Although the team will face the challenges of the defending champion Bucks and the Lakers, who also build a luxurious lineup, if the Nets can keep healthy and maintain a complete lineup, they will still be the most powerful contenders for the championship. Once Owen plays a game, his dream of winning the championship will be in suspense. Earlier, the Nets owner had expressed the hope that Owen could play completely in the new season. The implication is that he is putting pressure on Owen, hoping that he will focus on the overall situation of the team, rather than delaying the team's championship plan because of personal thoughts and interests.

Although Owen has earned enough wealth in his career so far, he was detained for more than 1000 million a season because he didn't want to get vaccinated. I believe that no one will treat money like dirt easily. After the league officially issued the punishment regulations, maybe Owen will be forced to compromise and play in the Nets for the whole season after playing the vaccination.
