On April 18, Beijing time, the first round of the NBA playoffs, the Nets lost to the Celtics 114-115, Irving broke out, bombed a game-high 39 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, 18 points in the last quarter, but the Nets in addition to Irving, including Durant, Seth Curry and other players can not give the right fire support. In the last moments of the game, Tatum pressed the whistle to kill Irving, of course, there are many points that caused heated discussion among fans, including Irving angrily spraying fans + vertical middle finger + crying action, so the question is, will Irving be fined?
During the game, Irving raised his middle finger directly at the Celtics' sideline fans after hitting a shot, and then according to NBA reporter Jeff Zillgitt, the player's middle finger to the fans during the game also meant a $15,000 fine. However, earlier in the season, when Irving came to play at the Cavaliers' home stadium, he was fined $25,000 by the league for being rude to the fans on the sidelines.
In addition, Irving in the game, that is, while waiting for the sideline serve, he gave the Celtics courtside fans a middle finger on the back of the head, and then Irving also made a crying action to provoke (respond) to the Green Army fans on the sidelines. And after the game, the fans in the players' tunnel angrily erupted at Owen, and Irving responded directly: "Eat what I am." ”
In this regard, some fans said: "Owen should learn from Trey Young, send his opponent home in the blink of an eye and wave goodbye more elegantly." "So the question is, Irving has at least 3 controversial moves in a game, so how much should he be fined? At least 25,000 to start, right?
