On April 18, Beijing time, the Brooklyn Nets lost to the Boston Celtics by one point, and some of the behaviors of Kyrie Irving and fans became the focus of attention after the game. U.S. basketball salary expert Bobby Max analyzed that the league may issue up to fifty thousand dollar fines to Irving.
Irving had a number of problems in his first game of the playoffs, and after shooting a three-pointer in the game, he gave the middle finger to the fans in the audience when he returned to defense. Secondly, when Owen turned his back to the fans, he raised his back middle finger with both hands to provoke the opponent again. After the game, Irving responded with trash talk when he returned to the dressing room from the players' tunnel in the face of insults from the fans.
Finally, in an interview at a press conference, Owen continued to explode, which also violated the relevant regulations of the alliance.
In this regard, NBA salary expert Bobby Max analyzed that even if Irving has so many violations, the league can only give him a fine of $50,000 at most. As for how the NBA official will define this matter in the end, and what kind of fines will be issued, it will still need to wait for the official announcement in the early morning of tomorrow.
TNT commentator Shaquille O'Neal said that Irving's actions will only make Celtic fans boo him more and more in the next game, and the insults will be louder than G1.
