Kyrie Irving dumps Luka Doncic in the garden of nightmares
To Kyrie Irving No gesture on the court choked him more than stomping on a Boston Celtics elf who appeared in the middle of the court. TD GardenSince his premature departure and betrayal from the Massachusetts baseball team, he has become public enemy number one, and has yet to win at the Green Coliseum. 7 consecutive lossesa total of 12 in the group with the original team.
Despite ignoring the noise and boos from one of the most legendary venues in the Games, the truth is that his words were not backed up on the track. Despite it all, he still smiled and looked happy, as if forgetting his own poor performance and ignoring his noticeable and notorious anger towards the tired Slovenian. Luka Doncic.
“I still believe in myself“A lot of shots hit the rim and as a competitor it’s annoying but you have to embrace the ups and downs,” Irving noted, relaxing after faltering again when Dallas needed him most. “You want to play very well to win in a draw, but even more so in a final.”He admitted that he shot a dismal 7-of-18 from the field, went the second and third quarters without scoring a basket, and finished with 16 points, 2 rebounds, 6 assists and no three-pointers. Two of his three worst scores. They arrived in the current round of NBA rings.
“It’s disappointing, especially being in the kitchen, going up against Jrue Holiday and Jaylen Brown. “Overall I think it went well. I just had to make the shots.”” He noted that he remains optimistic: “In the second half, we didn’t make any shots, we were out of place defensively, we had some silly fouls, and that took us out of rhythm a little bit. “It’s not all my fault, but I put a lot of the blame on myself.”he contributed.
Irving averaged 23.6 points, four rebounds and 5.7 assists during his pro career, but saw how those averages plummeted at TD Garden. 19.3 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.9 assists They’ve lost their last seven straight games. They’ve shot 47.4% from the field and 39.3% to 42.6% on triples. 25.6% From afar. He has yet to make a three-point shot in eight attempts so far in these NBA Finals.
When they asked him to comment on the harsh self-criticism of the group’s leader, Doncic, he simply smiled and asserted that it was not only the Slovenians who had obviously failed, but rather pointed to the fact that it was himself who had failed: who had forced them to continue to fight.Defensively we were good, but offensively we need to be better.”if it is clear that without his success there is no path to the championship, he concluded by repeating that, yes, he must improve and not abandon the main stage of the competition.
“The first two games weren’t the best.”“The message right now is, stay tuned. We lost by seven points, but let’s forget about this. Let’s go home and get ready to beat a great team in Boston,” he added. It didn’t go in. “That’s basketball,” he said of himself. Jason Kidd“We need to find more people who can score goals,” the manager said ahead of the friendly third match in Dallas.
He wanted to reduce the trouble the public and the stage caused him in history, but the truth is There’s a certain discomfort in Irving’s performance. In front of the city, the fans and the team, he called home for several campaigns, his abandonment of the city catching everyone off guard despite promising to return, as obvious as Luka Doncic abandoning his start to the NBA Finals.
And 0-7 Balance Since he stomped on the leprechaun, TD Garden has officially Garden of Nightmares By Kyrie Irving. Will two games at the Mavs’ home field help him bounce back? Without them, it will be hard for him to bounce back in his former home.
