On April 18, Beijing time, the Nets lost their playoff debut on the road, and the Nets lost a bit of a suffocation in this game, and Irving was booed by Celtic fans. Irving, who has returned to his old club, is also deeply helpless, but Irving also hit back with his performance on the court, not only in terms of personal data, but also "crazy interaction" with Celtic fans.
Irving appeared to give the fans a middle finger and pretend to cry, which also vigorously vented Irving's dissatisfaction, and Irving was likely to be punished by the league after the game because of these actions. In this game, Irving played really well, playing for 42 minutes, Irving cut 39 points, 6 assists, 5 rebounds, 4 steals and 1 block, 12 of 20 shots, 10 shots of 6 three-pointers, and all the free throws were hit, which also doubled the confidence of Nets fans in victory.
However, Durant's game finally disappointed the fans, plus or minus -13, shooting 9 of 24, 5 of 1 three-pointers, Durant's downturn also laid hidden dangers for the Nets to lose. Especially in the last defense, Durant leaked, allowing Tatum to easily slip into the inside line, and Irving's defense was too late, and finally completed the kill. Tatum's whistle-pressing kill also made the Nets' hard work for a whole game in vain, and the Nets fans stayed up late and finally stayed up lonely.
However, there are not many small episodes on the field, especially Irving's different interaction with fans, which attracts the attention of network fans. The moment Irving entered the North Shore Gardens Arena, the boos on the scene never stopped, Irving and the Celtics really had difficulty reconciling, and the original discord also sowed the seeds of today's hatred.
Of course, Irving as a super player will not be affected by the booing, which instead aroused Irving's desire to win, and Irving began to perform at the Celtic home.
When Irving sent the ball, in the face of the fans' taunts, Irving put his middle finger on the back of his head and made a crying motion. In the following round, Irving hit the key ball and raised his middle finger directly to the fans, and Ou's eyes were full of untamed.
Irving played his best in the final quarter, shooting 7-of-9, scoring 18 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, becoming the Nets' absolute offensive core, but unfortunately all this was taken as the background by Tatum's killer.
