The new season is in full swing.
All the players and coaching staff of the Cavaliers are boarding a special plane to Indiana.
Irving looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, with a thoughtful look on his face.
It's time to play against the Pacers again!
In theory, this is just an ordinary regular season in a long season, but he doesn't think so.
It's all because of He Feng in the Pacers!
Two years ago, Irving was successfully elected as the No. 1 pick, and he was in high spirits. How could he pay attention to a second-round pick from the East?
However, now, that second-round pick has led the team to win the league championship and was elected FMVP.
But he is still troubled by not being able to lead the team into the playoffs.
The situations of the two are very different.
Moreover, the unscrupulous media often compare the two.
"The No. 1 pick? He doesn't deserve the title! He is just a lone wolf who is only concerned about scoring points, but he makes the team fall into the mud."
"The second-round pick He Feng has won the FMVP in his second year, while the No. 1 pick Irving is still leading the team to compete for the No. 1 pick!"
"..."
It is impossible to say that Irving doesn't care at all.
After all, he is only 21 years old!
Which young man wants to be pointed at by others at will?
His competitive spirit also tells him that the best way to respond to these unscrupulous media is to show excellent performance.
Even if this is a back-to-back game, he will show 100% of his state!
When they first met, one was the shining No. 1 pick; the other was the second-round pick that no one cared about.
When they met again, his title was already "No. 1 pick"; and the other's prefix became "New FMVP".
The media also knows how to stir up trouble.
The topic of He Feng VS Irving has been preheated long ago.
The fans are also looking forward to it.
He Feng didn't say much, watching him play was a kind of enjoyment.
The same is true for Irving. Although his leadership is criticized, his gorgeous style of play is indeed popular.
The Pacers still put out the championship lineup: Hill, He Feng, George, West, Hibbert.
The Cavaliers' starting lineup is Irving, Dion Waiters, Earl Clark, Thompson and Varejao.
This lineup is the "No. 1 pick" lineup of the Cavaliers last season.
And the new No. 1 pick Bennett did not get the chance to start.
This also puzzled many fans.
This is already the third game of the Cavaliers in the new season. Why didn't the new No. 1 pick start?
Is the No. 1 pick just chosen to sit on the bench?
The Cavaliers coach got the "gifted" No. 1 pick but didn't train him. What is he thinking?
But the fans didn't think much about it because the game had already started.
At the beginning, Irving played very actively. In other words, "Just take the ball and do it!"
It's just that the result was not as expected.
Irving has good skills, strong breakthrough ability, and good layup feel. This is a fact.
Of course, it is also a fact that the Pacers have good defense.
Irving not only has to face He Feng and Paul George on the outside, but he also has to face Hibbert after finally getting to the inside with the help of pick-and-roll.
Even if Irving moves around, it doesn't work.
This makes every shot he takes seem quite difficult, and he is either blocked or misses.
Mike Brown, the head coach of the Cavaliers on the sidelines, was upset and couldn't help raising his hand to support his forehead.
What can he do? Pamper him!
After all, Irving is the team's key training target and is indeed worthy of unlimited firing rights.
Irving's personality is indeed stubborn enough. The more he can't score, the more he wants to play.
At this moment, Irving only has the basket in his eyes.
And the result is a dismal record of 5-0.
Under the special care of He Feng and George, Irving didn't score a single point.
If it weren't for Varejao's 3 of 4 and West's 3 of 7, no one on the Cavaliers would have scored.
In the first quarter, the Cavaliers scored 16 points.
The Pacers' offense was relatively smooth, and 28 points in a single quarter was a routine operation.
On the bench, Irving was wearing a towel, lowering his head, and said nothing.
Before the game, he vowed to prove himself.
As a result, he really swallowed a duck egg in the first quarter!
Entering the second quarter, Irving's condition finally improved.
The efficiency of 3 of 4 is still quite good, plus free throws, he scored 8 points.
But the Cavaliers' offense is still mediocre, scoring 21 points.
The Pacers scored 27 points and easily entered the second half with an 18-point lead.
Although the core players of the Pacers are still young, they are still quite good at socializing.
With the overall situation decided, it's time to relax a little.
In the second half, Irving continued to score points using various techniques.The sluggish state in the first quarter was swept away.
However, this seemed to have no effect on the situation, and the score difference on the field did not narrow.
At the final whistle, the Pacers easily won three consecutive victories.
Irving scored 30 points alone, which proved his ability.
He Feng's 24 points and Paul George's 21 points seemed mediocre.
But the audience who watched the game knew that the data did not represent the real situation.
