On June 6, Beijing time, the NBA Finals will officially start tomorrow. Earlier today, Mavericks star Irving was interviewed about the boos he and the Mavericks are likely to receive in Boston, as well as James' nostalgia for the Jan-Ou combination.

Irving played for the Celtics for two seasons, but the cooperation between the two sides did not go well, and after Irving left the Celtics, there were many unpleasant things for both parties. Predictably, Irving will be booed a lot in Boston. Asked how he should handle the matter, Owen said: "I would tell all the young players who are there to deal with the crowd that you have to take a deep breath and realise that it's not that hostile there. ”

In his podcast, James talked about his nostalgia for the Jan-Ou duo and expressed his support for Irving. Irving was also asked about James at the press conference, and Irving said: "I'm so grateful for him saying that, really. Obviously I'm at a different age and stage of life now, and so is he. I think we're all more mature than we were before, and I'm very grateful that we've had the opportunity to do what we've achieved together. When I was younger, I felt like something was holding back our relationship. Now I am able to express my feelings as a man and feel comfortable holding on to my position, beliefs, and origins. I feel like our relationship is built on that. ”

Owen then continued: "I miss playing with him a lot, when a lot of things were easier, I just had to run around the court, pass the ball to him, throw the ball into the air and feel like I was home. We have mutual respect because of the contributions we bring to the table, and his leadership is very compatible with my leadership style. I learned a lot from it and learned how to appreciate my life. So, when he makes comments like that, I think back to those moments we went through together, whether it was being behind or leading in the series, we were demanding of each other on and off the court. ”

Owen concluded, "It was a really good time, but now we are at a stage where we are able to reflect and I am able to apply some of the methods I have learned from him and other great teachers. I feel like I'm just here for the finals because I've been through some of the past with them that can be translated into the game. I have to thank him because he understands media traffic and keeps everyone talking about us. I'm looking forward to the future, but I'm going to finish this series now. ”

Irving previously worked with James for three seasons, both of which reached the Finals and won the NBA championship in 2016 before the two parted ways. The two had previously had a chance to get together with the Lakers, but Irving was sent to the Mavericks by the Nets. Now the two are frequently courting, which can't help but remind people of the possibility of the two joining forces again.

In addition, Irving has reached the finals three times in his career and won the championship once. This is the fourth time in Irving's career that he has reached the Finals, will he be able to get his second championship ring? Let's wait and see!
