Kyrie Irving was the second leader of the Dallas Mavericks, but unfortunately he and Doncic led the Mavericks to fail to win the championship in the 2023-24 season, and the team missed out on the championship with a score of 88-106. Although they failed to win the championship, Kyrie Irving and Doncic maintained a positive and optimistic attitude towards the team.

Kyrie Irving himself likes his teammates around him at the moment and is proud of their performance. He hopes that the Dallas Mavericks can be successful and become the best team of their time and be remembered by the outside world.

Kyrie Irving said: "Very confident about the future of the team. It's a positive aspect that we can get from this series, and I'm so proud of these guys for how far we've come. This year we answered a lot of questions about what we are capable of doing. Now it's just a matter of being consistent. I think, probably in the last week, I said I wanted us to be remembered as one of the best teams of this era. ”

Kyrie Irving had the best season of his career since leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers, and it's a bit of a shame that he didn't make it to the Finals again. However, Kyrie Irving's poor performance was also one of the key factors in their missing out on the championship.

Kyrie Irving's performance in the finals can be described as miserable, with only 15 points, 3 rebounds, and 9 assists on 5-of-16 shooting in Game 5. Moreover, in three road games, Kyrie Irving averaged only 14.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 5.7 assists per game.

You know, Kyrie Irving has an annual salary of $37 million this season. After watching Kyrie Irving's performance in the finals, many fans and media think that D'Angelo Russell's performance is also quite good, after all, D'Angelo Russell's annual salary is only about $18 million.

Kyrie Irving then went on to say that he enjoyed this season more than any other, especially because he was able to continue his path of redemption. In fact, Kyrie Irving prefers the Dallas Mavericks, mainly because he can speak freely here and will not be disliked and isolated by his teammates.

Kyrie Irving said: "The past few championships have been new, every year. I see an opportunity for us to really build our future in a positive way, which is almost a regular thing for us, and we're competing for the title. I think from a mental point of view, I enjoyed this journey more than any other season. Simply because of the path of salvation, I began to learn as much as I could about myself, my teammates, this organization, and the people around me. ”

Kyrie Irving averaged 19.8 points, 3.0 rebounds and 5.0 assists in five games in the NBA Finals. He shot 41.4 percent from the field and 27.6 percent from beyond the three-point line, although he saved the team many times in the first three series. However, the flame-out in the Finals has also become a key factor in the loss, and it has also become a joke for Celtics fans.

After the game, Kyrie Irving became the last Dallas Mavericks staff member to leave the court, hugging every teammate on the sidelines and watching them leave the game before leaving.

Doncic was also a big factor in the Mavericks' loss, his offense wasn't too lethal, and so was his defense, and he didn't have the mentality that could scare opponents. It's like he's playing a fun game of attitude, making it easy for his opponent to gain some psychological advantage.

After the game, Doncic also expressed his opinion on the team's missing championship. However, Doncic is quite satisfied with the team's performance and is proud of the efforts of his teammates.

Doncic said: "I feel great. We did some great moves. I would say we've been together for five months. I'm so proud of everyone who stepped on the pitch, all the coaches, all the people behind the scenes. Obviously, we didn't win the Grand Final. But we did have a terrible season. I'm so proud of everyone. ”

The Mavericks missed out on the championship in the 2023-24 season, which does not mean that they are bad, their lineup configuration is very good, and it can only be said that their players are not as good as the Celtics. Whether it is offensive or defensive, Celtic's coordination enthusiasm is very high.

On the defensive end, as long as the Mavericks break through, the Celtics are a two-man pinch, and some even go up to the body to fight the cutting ball. On the other hand, the Mavericks, as long as the opponent passes in one step, is basically watching the opponent hit the inside to score.

As for the offensive end, the Celtics have too many passers, making it difficult for the Mavericks to catch the Celtics' offensive endpoints. The Mavericks' core offensive points, Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, as long as they limit one of them and cut off their passes, they are basically useless.
