On March 28, Beijing time, when the 1.88-meter Irving met the 1.75-meter Thomas Jr., sorry, the "human offensive weapon essence" failed to make its home debut in the season, but was frozen by the "strongest 175 on the surface". According to the video clip posted by the US media, Irving faced Thomas Jr.'s close defense in the final quarter, he was restricted to almost unable to shoot, and was finally blocked by Thomas Jr.'s big hat.
When Irving made his home debut after nearly 300 days, there is no doubt that the outside world has high hopes for Irving, expecting him to lead the team to defeat the Hornets at home to win a key card battle. However, Irving's performance was abnormal, even if the last quarter picked up and scored 10 points, but the first three quarters totaled only 6 points, 6 of 22 in the whole game hit 16 iron, equaling the record for the most iron errors in a single game of the season, and 1 of 9 points was the most iron game of the season.
In the point guard war, Irving was crushed by three-goal blasts and 7 three-pointers to get 33+7+9, after all, Irving only had 16 points and 11 assists.
More crucially, Irving not only lost the point guard battle by three goals, but he also played against Thomas Jr. at one point, and he used to swap owners with Thomas Jr. in the summer of 2017.
With about 8 minutes left in the final quarter, Irving held the ball near the sideline to play against Thomas Jr., and Rozier also went forward to block Irving's passing route. In this case, Irving was unable to shoot by Thomas Jr.'s close defense before the 24 seconds were about to be consumed, and had no choice but to force a three-point jumper, but was blocked by Thomas Jr.'s ruthless big cap.
Little Thomas, after the big hat Owen, was also extremely excited to swing his fist and roar in celebration, while Owen walked back with a frustrated look. For Thomas Jr., who is 1.75m, he can freeze Irving in such a round, which is already quite good, and the Hornets signed him until the end of the season is also worth it, after all, Thomas Jr. played extremely hard and gave him the 60th block of his career.
