On the morning of May 19, Beijing time, the Mavericks narrowly defeated the Thunder 117-116, so that they eliminated their opponents with a big score of 4-2 and entered the NBA Western Conference Finals. In this game, Mavericks guard Irving scored 22 points, 18 of which came in the second half. He is undoubtedly the key to the Mavericks' victory. After this game, Irving's career 14-0 record is the best in history. "The God of Match Point" is undoubtedly the best way to describe Irving.

Irving's career has seen many highlights, such as winning the first championship in Cavaliers history with James that year. However, after leaving the Cavaliers, Irving's career hit a low point. Owen first went to the Celtics to become a leader and try to break new ground, but in the end he couldn't do it. Irving's years in Boston may have been the darkest moment of his career.

Irving then joined Durant in the Nets to try to compete for a championship, but in the end it still ended in failure. Irving came to the Mavericks last year and teamed up with Doncic to achieve his championship dream, but in last season's playoffs, the Mavericks didn't go very far. After last season, Irving made a careful choice and finally signed a contract extension with the Mavericks, which many people were not optimistic about.

This season, Irving has become more relaxed and able to exert his superstar energy by Doncic's side. While Irving will struggle to be the big man on this team, he already knows when it's time for him to take over the game. Objectively speaking, Irving has such strength and ability, he entered the league as a champion and is a talented guard. Over the years, Irving has always been a top scorer with delicate skills and an easy way to score. What's more, Irving is a big-hearted player who has played the role of Mr. Key on several occasions.

In the sixth game of the semi-finals on the 19th, Irving's performance was great, and the vast majority of his points came in the second half, which was also the most crucial stage of the game. Perhaps, the statement that "Irving alone changed the outcome of the game" is an exaggeration, but he was the first contributor to the Mavericks' victory in this game. And playing a key role in such an important game once again proves that Owen has extraordinary strength and courage.

Great games always make great heroes, and this is an unbreakable truth in the history of professional sports. And Irving has written his name into history through his strong performances in so many key battles in the past.
