In the NBA playoffs, the away Nets once again lost 107-114, and the total score has been 0-2 behind the Celtics. In addition to losing, Irving's series of performances once again made fans and the Nets very dissatisfied.
In this game, the nets' two stars, Durant and Irving, played like two people compared with the first game, and the shooting rate of the two was extremely low, adding up to 30 shots, only 8 goals. Durant didn't feel good, but scored 18 points through foul free throws, and still scored 27 points in the game; but Irving's performance can only be described as depressed, 10 points and 1 assist, which is not the data that an All-Star player should get. The consequences of the duo's sluggish performance are obvious, the Nets lost again in this game after losing to the Celtics in the first home game.
The Nets and Celtics have a lot to watch in the first round of the playoff series, and one of the important reasons is Irving's entanglement with the Greenshirts. Irving finally chose to run away because of the stalemate with Celtics fans and executives, which made him a traitor in the eyes of Greenshirt fans. So when the two teams met in the first game, the Celtics fans sent "blessings" to Irving, and Irving naturally did not want to be humiliated, and raised his middle finger to the visiting fans to fight back. Such irrational behavior led him to receive a $50,000 fine, and the Nets ended up drinking a grudge at home.
In the second game to the Celtics' home, Irving lost again, he did not show a tough performance to fight back against the fans who attacked him, and the Nets also lost another game, 0-2 behind. Such a performance made nets owner Tsai Chongxin unable to sit still any longer, and Irving repeatedly provoked trouble, first refusing to get vaccinated at the beginning of the season, and now giving the fans a middle finger, and the team is now in jeopardy because of his turmoil. There are reports that Tsai Chongxin has lost patience with Owen and is determined to let him take the money and trade him away.
