On April 18, Beijing time, the first round of the NBA playoffs, the Nets lost to the Celtics 114-115, Irving came to the home of the Celtics, the boos were widespread, Durant failed to kill the game in the last moments of the game, and Tatum completed the whistle on the basket. Of course, Irving can leave with his head held high in this game, but in terms of words and deeds, I am afraid that it will not work! In the game, Owen sprayed fans + vertical middle finger, after the game, Owen admitted that he did not care or pay attention, but O'Neill + Barkley, the two famous stars said: "Irving is like a child. ”
After the game, Owen talked about the verbal altercation and conflict with the fans at home to the Green Army, and Owen himself said: "Embrace it, this is the dark side, embrace it, let's not pay attention to this, ask me questions about this game.
I don't care, let's switch to the series, talk about the series, and how to get better. I don't care about my past with Boston, I'm at the Brooklyn Nets and I'm excited to compete with my teammates! "12 of 20 in 42 minutes, a game-high 39 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 steals, the performance is certainly worth praising."
But NBA celebrities O'Neal and Barkley provoked Irving's double middle fingers + crying action in the game to provoke the fans and angrily spray fans after the game. The two celebrities said: "If the great Bill Russell has experienced this, I want to experience it too, I don't want to hear these things anymore, some cities, they don't care what you say, do you know what will happen in the second session?"
Boston fans will go the extra mile, and only the best players will be treated like this. Do you think Buckley and Olajuwon didn't have these experiences? ”
Buckley, who has always been on the same page as O'Neill, this time they are on the same front! Barkley said: "Most of the fans are great, but some of them will say something bad, but now the players, please stop complaining like a child. ”
In the yellow-green war of that year, the boos for Kobe Bryant were far more than that, but in the end Kobe Bryant defeated the Green Army to win the championship. So the question is, how much is Irving fined for these moves? NBA journalist Nick Friedell quoted salary expert Musk as saying that the league fined Irving up to $50,000. Owen, mature a little!
