From a dozen to five

After the Western Conference semifinals tiebreaker, Edwards was busy writing to Irving: "I'm going to play against Irving, it's going to be an interesting matchup, and you'll see how I deal with him." ”

In the Western Conference G1, the world saw how Irving quietly lit a piece of Huazi and defeated Edwards and the Timberwolves.

When Irving faced Edwards' defense, he scored eight points on 4-of-7 shooting. In the whole game, Irving scored 30 points, including 24 points in the first half, training the Timberwolves interior group to doubt.

As the Jankudu era comes to an end and the sunshine of the new era gradually shines around every corner, people can't wait to hear the stories of young people. But Owen carried the banner of the veterans and defended the dignity of their generation.

In the first round of the Mavericks and the Clippers G6, Irving scored 28 points in the second half and contributed 30 points to help the Mavericks eliminate the Clippers. At the final whistle, Irving stepped forward to hug Harden, and the two completed the gesture dance they had previously been teammates with the Nets.

At that moment, Owen realized that times might have really changed. Irving's former rivals, his teammates, either didn't make the playoffs or said goodbye to the playoffs.

Irving's former teammates LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Harden all stopped in the first round, former opponents Paul George and Lillard are out, and Stephen Curry simply did not enter the playoffs.

"I've been competing with these guys for years, and I've been meeting them in the playoffs almost every year, and it's basically our generation that dominates the finals, the division finals. This change came too quickly. ”

The rising stars are vying for power and changing the map of the league, and they are bringing a strong challenge to the older generation. Owen can also feel the power of the years, but he has no intention of giving up the stage: "I'm excited to see a new generation of players join the competition and make a difference, which gives me more motivation and inspiration to continue to lead our generation because I am the youngest of our generation." ”

Of the remaining four teams, Horford, Conley, and Holiday are all older than Irving, and their roles have been skewed towards role players, with only Irving still the arrowhead. Irving's ability to carry the banner for the older generation of stars is indisputable.

In the Western Conference G1, Irving gave the Timberwolves and Edwards a boost of intensity. The Timberwolves entered the Western Conference Finals for the first time in 20 years, and Irving is a player who has already proven himself in the Finals.

As the "essence of human offensive skills", Irving has beaten the Timberwolves' league-leading defensive system into a sieve. After the Thunder's hard-hitting baptism, Irving once said that "this is probably the toughest series I've ever had", and when he faced a one-on-one, crouching defense, Irving seemed to have unshackled.

In terms of military training squatting pit type inside line, Owen has a variety of means. Let him play with the ball, and he can finish with a throw.

The opponent prevents him from receiving the ball, and he can use the cover to get rid of the ball and continue to punish the crouch with throws and mid-range shots.

The opponent expanded his defensive range and used a high lob to assist his teammates to get through the basket in the air.

In a half-transition offense that wasn't a great opportunity, he was able to catch a hole in the opponent's defense and finish quickly.

"I've been in the divisional finals before, so I've been a little bit more consistent, which allows me to be more confident and aggressive," Irving attributes the performance to being experienced, but in reality, it's the skill that counts.

Irving likes to refer to himself as the "Benjamin Button of the NBA," meaning he's been growing in reverse. Those dazzling dribbles, difficult pulls, and unbelievably difficult left-handed throws are all evidence that Owen is getting older and more demonic.

"I've seen 39-year-olds who are still getting better and improving," Irving was referring to, of course, James. Irving's relationship with James changed several times, and as Irving got older and more mature, he was left with nothing but admiration and admiration for James. As a young man, Irving would arrive at the arena 90 minutes before a game, but now he has a three-hour personal training session before a game followed by a massage.

Saying that Irving has matured a lot this season, no one may object. Irving hasn't caused any trouble off the court and has been concentrating on playing, even during Ramadan, with wonderful performances, such as a left-handed throw-up against the sky against the Nuggets.

Irving said he "finally realized that basketball is not a one-man sport," and that when the Thunder were so aggressive against him, he would rather sacrifice his shots than pass the ball to the open space. Many people criticize Irving for not being aggressive enough and scoring too little, but Irving has long passed the age of being competitive and aggressive, and now he pursues reasonableness and trust in his teammates.

Irving constantly talks about "defense" and practices it on the defensive end. So far in the playoffs, Irving has been a defensive gate, and the data shows that the shooting percentage of his defensive players is only 31.6%, a decrease of 8.6%. Harden made 7 of 19 shots against Irving, Alexander made only 7 of 16 shots, George shot 4 of 12, and G1 Towns, Conley, and Edwards combined for 1 of 6 shots.

Owen became a qualified locker room leader. After the Mavericks lost to the Thunder G4 in the Western Conference semifinals, Irving kept telling his teammates to "stay calm, stay calm", and he was the loudest voice in the team's locker room. Kidd sighed: "With Irving here, there was no panic in our locker room, everything was in his hands. He's speaking to his team-mates with confidence, and it's great to have that guy in the dressing room at any given time. ”

In the 2016 Cavaliers' championship journey, Irving played the role of "assassin", he realized his dream of winning the championship, but a heart to be the boss was always ready to move. After leaving the Cavaliers, Owen traveled to Boston to try to play the role of the boss, but failed. Irving's Nets years were ruined by off-court incidents.

It wasn't until he came to Dallas that Owen found the peace he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Say goodbye and look ahead. I want to chase a second title in Dallas. I've had success at the highest level and I want to get back to that position. ”
