Kyrie Irving averaged 15.3 points per game in the last three games of the series, shooting 37.2% from the field and 18.2% from three-point range, a performance that is not a superstar at all, and his performance does not match his annual salary of 35 million. Considering that he is still a part-time star in the regular season this season, Tsai Chongxin's wave is a loss to cry.
The US media posted Kyrie Irving's playoff record after leaving LeBron in 2017:
2018: Injured;
2019: Eliminated by the Bucks in 5 games in the second round;
2020: Injured;
2021: Injured, second round steal seven loss to Bucks;
2022: Swept by the Celtics in the first round;
[It's as if Kyrie Owen's career began to decline after he left LeBron, and things didn't go well.] Of course, Irving also suffered many injuries during the Cavaliers period, such as the 2015 Finals G1 injury was reimbursed after the injury, otherwise the 15-year championship may be the Cavaliers.
American fans ridiculeD Irving: Irving must have known himself that "nothing after I left LeBron James." ”
Irving's summer 2022 is a player option, and he is eligible to renew a five-year, 248 million super salary contract with an average salary of nearly $50 million. But Owen deserves the contract? US media Legion Hoops also raised questions about how many fans think Irving is not worth the contract.
NBA star Perkins mentioned in the podcast show: "If Durant is going to stay at the Nets, then he should force the Nets to trade, so that Irving is as far away from Brooklyn as possible, and they can see what is missing from the bench." But Perkins also mentioned that if he is KD, then he will apply for a trade, and the Nets do not deserve to have the KD of the year of playing.
In fact, Irving's next odds have been released: Lone Ranger, Quick Pass, Winning, Bulls, Lakers, Heat, Knicks may become Irving's potential next home. As long as Irving jumps out of the contract in the offseason to become a full free agent, then he can choose to join any team, but the Nets can persuade Irving to sign first and then change, or persuade Irving to execute the player option before sending him away.
Nets fans are all kinds of taunts about Irving, and it feels like Irving won't be too happy at the Nets. He fought against James in order to join the Celtics, and I don't know how Irving finally chose this time.
