Kyrie Irving on the problems Luguentz Dort can pose as an on-ball defender:
"Lu's been a great defender since he walked into this league, he's got to be
given his credit and respect. I think he causes a lot of issues when he's
pressuring the ball handler 94 feet for practically the whole game. That's
something that we have to be aware of, but he's not the only good defender
out there. I don't think what makes him great is just him individually. I
think it's the team game that they play, and he does a great job of being the
head of that. But for me and my teammates, we just have to continue to attack
him and continue to play downhill in a way where we play off of two feet.
They do a lot of reaching, they do a lot of small pushes and stuff like that.
And we just have to adjust to the team that we're playing against. And I
think that's the most important thing. This Game 1 is done, we didn't play as
well as we would have liked. We failed on a lot of our coverages, and we
didn't come in with the attitude that was necessary to get this W. So, the
pressure that they were putting on was definitely attributed to their
excitement. But I think in Game 2, we just have to settle in a lot earlier
and be able to withstand some of their 3-point barrages that they get off of
our long 3s that end up coming around the free throw line or some of our
turnovers. I had too many turnovers tonight, especially in that first
quarter, just trying to get my guy settled. So there are some things to look
back on, but the defensive pressure is not going to stop. So we just got to
adjust."

Kyrie Irving談Luguentz Dort防守給持球員帶來的問題:


因他個人能力，而是整個團隊，他所做的就是帶頭做起防守這件事。但對於我和我的隊友
來說，我們必須繼續進攻他、繼續切入並保持平衡應對。





今晚我的失誤太多了，尤其是在第一節，我試圖讓我的隊友穩下來。所以有一些事情需要
重播回顧，但防守壓力不會停止，所以我們必須做出調整。』

Kyrie Irving on defending a player like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander without
fouling: "I'm going to show my respect and say that he's a great player. But
tonight, in the first half, there wasn't really a rhythm for a lot of players
out there. It was a lot of slow down, watching free throws being taken, and
adjusting to the way the game was being called. It felt like a regular season
game tonight, in my perspective. I don't speak for anyone else, but I think
it was like a regular season game because we came off a very physical series
against the LA Clippers, then we had some fouls called, and some of them may
have been fouls or a majority of them. But as a competitor, you want the flow
of the game to feel like the playoffs, with high physicality. It just feels
better. It's all about adjustments. It's about continuing to stay positive
through some of the runs they make and being mature about who we're going
against - a good team that's shown it all year. They have a starting five
with a plus-minus through the roof and one of the top defenses. So, we'll
give them credit, but we have to come into game two ready and prepared."

Kyrie Irving談如何在不犯規的情況下防守像Shai Gilgeous-Alexander這樣的球員：

『我要表達我的尊重，SGA是一位出色的球員。但是今晚，在上半場，許多球員並沒有真
正找到節奏。比賽節奏很緩慢，一直看人罰球，並且要適應比賽的吹判方式。
