On June 10, Beijing time, the NBA Finals G2 Mavericks challenged the Celtics away, and Irving continued to play away against his old club. Irving continued to be booed wildly by Celtics fans, scoring 8 points on 4-of-5 shooting in the first quarter, then losing 1-of-8 in the second and third quarters, and was only 7-of-18 from the field, scoring only 16 points and 6 assists, and scoring less than 20 points in both finals games. Irving was not able to recover and became one of the main reasons for the Mavericks' loss of another game and falling behind 0-2 in aggregate. More importantly, Irving has lost 12 consecutive meetings against his old boss Celtics, and his "curse" has still not been broken.

The spell continues! Irving lost 12 consecutive games against the old Green Army, and was booed in the finals with three points in eight games and 0 of them

Irving played away to his old club in the opening game of the Finals, only to be booed wildly by Celtics fans. Irving was lost in the boos, scoring only 12 points on 6-of-19 shooting from the field, especially 0-of-5 from the outside three-point line, setting a record for the lowest shooting percentage in a single game in the Finals, which became one of the important factors in the Mavericks' fiasco, and also caused him to suffer an 11-game losing streak against the Celtics.

Now Irving continues to play away against the Celtics, Irving previously said that he did not hear boos, and Celtics legend Pierce G2 came to watch the game, he faced the camera to provoke Irving and said: "Irving said he didn't hear the boos, we must let him hear it tonight!" ”

Irving was once again booed by the Celtics home fans, and under the pressure of huge public opinion, Irving entered the state early in the first quarter, and he continued to shoot inside and outside to become one of the offensive arrows of the Mavericks. Irving played less than 9 minutes in the first quarter, and he contributed 4-of-5 shooting percentage to 8 percent, scoring 8 points efficiently and 13 points in the first quarter with Doncic, and the duo combined for 21 points in the first quarter, leading the Mavericks to a narrow 3-point lead in the first quarter.

It's just that Irving has not been able to continue his hot form, and in the face of White, Holiday and other defensive restrictions, Irving's offensive state has declined sharply. Irving scored just two points on 1-of-5 shooting in the second quarter, scoring 10 points on 5-of-10 shooting in the first half and having a plus/minus of -3.

In the second half of the game, Irving was still in the slump, he missed 0 of 3 in the third quarter, and relied on free throws to score another 2 points in a single quarter. Irving played crazy iron in a total of 8 in the second and third quarters, which became one of the important factors for the Mavericks to be overtaken by the score, after all, Doncic was difficult to support alone, and the Mavericks were also overtaken by the Celtics by 9 points in the first three quarters.

Irving started the final quarter with back-to-back assists for Gafford to score inside, and then he also made a breakaway layup to help the Mavericks chase down the gap of seven points to stop the Celtics. The Celtics then extended their 12-point advantage again, and Irving made a layup and assisted Gafford to catch up on a dunk in the air, helping the Mavericks chase down the difference by 8 points again, and also stopping the Celtics again. However, the Celtics then hit two three-pointers in a row to open the score again, and Irving still made a mistake after that, even if the Mavericks were still stubbornly fighting back to chase the score, but in the end they still failed to complete the counterattack and regretted losing another game.

Irving's performance is still quite sluggish under the Celtics' targeted defensive restrictions, and he has not been able to take on the responsibility of being the second leader, which is also an important factor in making Doncic fall into a difficult situation and becoming an important factor for the Mavericks to lose two games in a row.
