Why Kiri Irving was cheerful “angry” in Max Christie before playing Pelicans -Mavericks – Clutchpoints

Dallas-Dalas Maverix won Friday night on Friday night in New Orleans, winning with a final result of 111-103. Kiri Irving and PJ Washington led Mavs while Max Christie enjoyed another strong performance. However, Irving admitted that he was “angry” to Christie before the match.

“Max beat me (in the arena) today … I was angry, I was angry,” Irving told reporters after the joke match. “I was happy to see him, but at the same time … He gave him a side eye:” You did this on purpose to motivate me. ” I thought I left my house quite early today, after which he was here, just sitting in his chair, reading. It’s just a will to be a real professional and have fun in your craft. “

Of course, Irving was joking and probably proud of the 22-year-old.

So, how often do teammates beat Kiri Irving in the arena?

“Not often,” said the MAV star. “Not often.”

Max Christie has a big influence with Kiri Irving and his MAVS teammates. The guard is an average of 17.1 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.1 thefts per trip in seven games with Dallas so far.

Kid was impressed by Christie’s desire to join Irving and show up in the arena early.

“Christie, we all learn who he is,” Kid continued. “It just shows, getting out of vacation, comes to work early, trying to get a rhythm and he defeated Kai. Kai is usually here with two, two and thirty before someone else, so it’s great to see someone else join the party to come early to work. “
