Just like the best team Durant has ever been to is the Golden State Warriors, Irving's best team is the Cavaliers led by James. Because in the Cavaliers, Irving's role is the one that really suits him, the one that really maximizes his abilities.
Unfortunately, the cooperation between people does not only consider functional consistency, but also the consistency of their personality and life intentions.
When Irving won the 2017 All-Star MVP, James shouted to Irving in public: "Lift the trophy, Carey! Owen shyly raised the trophy above his head, but his movements were still extremely twisted, Durant smiled at the side, and James applauded vigorously.
If you compare the courage of the big man, Irving and Durant lost to James just because of this small thing, have you ever seen James crepe crepe and crepe? Literary and artistic youth have always been unable to save the world, because they may be skilled, but they always lack a kind of courage and determination, and dare not make bold progress towards the goal.
Irving under James is really the classic Irving, he grasps the space on the other side of the position where James stands, uses his advanced singles ability to fight opponents, and leaves many classic battles against the Warriors.
When Irving joined the Green Army, we didn't see that kind of effective effect. One is because Irving challenges Stevens' tactics, and the other is because Owen is anxious to establish the position of boss and cannot gather young people.
When Irving came to the Nets, he wouldn't be used as an organizational guard, and the nature of the shooting guard was fully displayed, but he didn't enjoy a more comfortable feeling than being in the Cavaliers.
Combined with Irving's three careers, it can be concluded that the best way for Irving to be used is to be a strongman under the command of a strongman. Such a strong man must have strong organizational strength, and leBron is the only one.
Why does Irving need a strong organizational strength instead of a strong singles boss?
That's because Irving's biggest advantage is singles, and it is the best way to apply this advantage. Players with strong organizational strength can create a better team space, can lock Irving's singles in an area, and maximize the use of Irving's singles to attack opponents' weak links. This is exactly what James is best at scheduling.
Durant is also a singles player, and after the head, there are various singles, and the intention is too obvious, which also causes the concentration of the opponent's defensive strength. When Irving and Durant played singles on one side, if they burst into the box, it was easy for the other side to concentrate their defensive forces, because they had too little linkage with others.
The other side can accept the scoring of the two singles without wanting them to have more linkage.
We see that the Nets have fallen into this dead loop, and the difficulties of the situation have directly affected the feel of Irving and Durant. Durant, as an organizational striker, without James's fierceness, without James's impact, nor James's scheduling ability, he can't completely liberate Irving.
The Nets' breaker needs a tough guy.
At the time, I thought James Johnson was a tough guy, but it was a shame that the Nets cut him before the playoffs began. The veteran is experienced and strong, just a little less than a three-pointer, but he can replace Jeff Green's vacancy. The Nets gave up the veteran for a less useful rookie, which I don't think should be, but if they do, they have to bear the bitter consequences.
At present, the Nets are all too literary, unable to play momentum, and the proportion of points scored using technology is too large, which cannot make opponents afraid. Moreover, the Nets need Durant and Irving to work hard at the same time to win, and it is not possible to count on an Irving. The best Irving could only hold up half the sky, which was already demonstrated in the first game of the playoffs.
If Owen wants to be fierce, he needs to simplify his attack mode.
The current Irving attack is too cumbersome, tired first tired. Moreover, with the deepening of the defense, the other party will be more familiar with his routine, and in the end, he will not be able to dodge hand-to-hand combat. Therefore, everyone also understands that James has been invincible for so many years, the strength of the body is really too easy to use, admit that Du and Ou's technology is better, they can't even open the situation now.
Analyzing the Nets' situation, only anxiety remains.
Judging from the history and culture of the Green Army, they cannot be inaccurate on a large scale, and when they smell a winning opportunity, they will be merciless, and they will naturally continue to defend the Nets with high pressure until they are defeated.
The Nets, like the Suns, have reached the point of fighting each other, while they also have to take on excessive health risks. Bless the Nets!
