The older superstars of the NBA

After the end of Game 1 of the series, there was joy for the Cleveland Cavaliers, but that was not the case for the Boston Celtics. The team had quite a situation after the game. First of all, Kyrie Irving stood up and expressed dissatisfaction with the team.

"I think our team is not united enough! Some teammates did not show a strong desire to win...I am very disappointed with this..."

Irving said in an interview with reporters after the game.

Of course, the good reporter would not miss such an opportunity, so he asked again, "So Kyrie... What do you think is different between the current Celtics and when you were with the Cavaliers? Kyrie Are the Celtics better than the Cavaliers?"

Irving is a straight man and didn't think much about such a problem at all. He blurted out directly, "Come on! How can the current Celtics compare with the former Cavaliers? We have won the championship before... ..."

These words are enough.

The reporter sent out the video as soon as the interview ended, and soon, fans in Boston saw such reports.

Some people were originally dissatisfied with Irving, but now he has publicly stood up to criticize the team and complained that the team is not as good as the Cavaliers. With reporters and the media adding fuel to the fire, these fans will naturally think that Irving's behavior is a betrayal of the Cavaliers. Celtics.

"Damn it! How can this guy say something bad about the Celtics? It's just him who is bad. What does it have to do with us?"

"What is this guy Kyrie thinking? Who does he think he is? He has no right to accuse us! Hasn't he discovered it yet? The team often performs better when he is not on the court... .”

"I finally understand why the Cavaliers traded him. If I had a teammate like this, I wouldn't want to play with him... This guy is too self-motivated!"

The overwhelming taunts were directed at Irving. If it was just the fans who were dissatisfied, then teammate Jaylen Brown's statement would undoubtedly add fuel to the fire.

"I don't agree with what Kyrie said. We all worked hard in this game...Losing to the Cavaliers was not the result we wanted to see, but every player deserves his performance... ....”

"If I have to find a problem, I would rather Kyrie understand that his personal data is of course important, but everything is based on winning... Each of us can work hard to win. The ball sacrifices his own data, but he is not like this. He just wants to be a hero and end the battle with his own goals. This is not the way we expected..."

Brown's words quickly gained support from some Celtics fans.

It's not that the fans were too excited, but Irving had previously argued with team coach Stevens over tactical issues during the game. At that time, everyone else agreed with Stevens' tactics, but Irving said there was a problem and he hoped Stevens could adopt his tactics.

As a result, Stevens did not do this, and Irving showed a slack side at the last moment.

In the end, the ball did not reach his hands, and the Celtics also lost to their opponents in that game. After the game, Irving publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with this matter in front of the media.

At that time, there were still many fans who supported Irving. They stood behind Irving and condemned the decision of team coach Stevens.

But in a later game, when the team still failed to win after giving the key ball to Irving, the trend of the fan group began to change.

Once the altercation started, it was difficult to stop it, and as a result, the Celtics quickly became embroiled in public opinion. The problems exposed within the team are obviously more serious than the game they lost.

While the Celtics were in dispute, the atmosphere within the Cleveland Cavaliers was pretty good. Unlike the rest of the Celtics who were not convinced by Irving, everyone on the Cavaliers expressed their willingness to accept LeBron's leadership.

For the Cavaliers, the team has only one leader, and that is LeBron James.

Even Love and Zhao Feiyang, the other core members of the team, had no objections.

That's it for Love. After all, he has played with LeBron for so long, so he naturally agrees with him.

Although Zhao Feiyang was the team boss when he was in the Timberwolves, he now understands that everything in the Cavaliers is based on LeBron, and there is no need for him to become a leader even if he can.

This is the opponent's territory.

The city of Cleveland will not belong to him, now and in the future. LeBron's mark has been deeply engraved here. No matter how good anyone else performs, they will only be latecomers and cannot replace the traces left by LeBron.

Because of this, the internal atmosphere of the Cavaliers is quite harmonious, and LeBron also took this opportunity to take the initiative to invite the players to have dinner together.

Regardless of LeBron's behavior on the court, off the court, I have to say that LeBron is still very good at being a person.

On the big side, he did a lot of charity, especially to his hometown of Akron.

In terms of small things, Dellavedova was just a marginal player when he was in the Cavaliers. He was so poor that he had no money to eat. He would always pack the team’s leftover food. In order to help Dellavedova alleviate this embarrassment, To protect his pride from being ridiculed, LeBron himself joined in to pack the meals.

It can be seen from this that at least he knows how to take care of other teammates off the court.

After maintaining the good atmosphere of the team, the Cavaliers quickly ushered in the second game of the series. This time the game will be held at the North Shore Garden Arena.

After the opening, the Celtics performed very poorly due to ball possession issues. Not only did Irving and Brown not cooperate on the court, they actually quarreled over possession of the ball.

Irving chose to play alone, while Brown cooperated with Tatum to try to take the ball away from Irving.

This style of play allowed the Celtics to open up a 13-point gap to the Cavaliers after the first quarter, forcing Celtics head coach Stevens to make a decision to leave Irving in the game. The second quarter time was put on the team's bench.

It's not that he favors Brown and Tatum, it's because there is only one Irving. Compared to replacing two main players, it is undoubtedly more reasonable for Stevens to temporarily replace one person.

"why?"

"I'm an All-Star, why not replace them instead of me?"

"God! I really have nothing to say! Bad team, bad everything... Come on! I want to see what they can do without me... "

After Irving had a big fight with Stevens, he sat on the team's bench and became a spectator.
