As the game entered the opening ceremony, when Irving appeared, there were not only boos but also quite a few claps and cheers.
Irving's immediate diss of his former team after the trade was quite outrageous, but that doesn't mean people won't remember what he contributed to the Cavaliers.
Two years ago, he played against the Heat until his season ended and his outstanding performance against the Heat last season, many fans haven't forgotten.
Irving's gaze wavered slightly, but it quickly turned determined.
After the opening ceremony, the starting lineups for both teams were announced one after another.
Bulls: Irving, Butler, Doug McDermott, Gibson, Big Gasol
Cavaliers: Wade, Hansen, Tucker, TT, Jokic
Jokic jumped for the Cavaliers' possession, and the game officially started.
