Beijing time on January 4, the NBA regular season continues, today the Blazers sat at home to usher in the challenge of the Eagles, this campaign Lillard did not play because of the break, in such a situation I thought the Hawks can easily win the game, but we seem to forget that this season's Hawks defense is too crotch, they play weak brigade is also a five-five situation, this is not this battle in the face of the remnants of the Blazers both sides played to the final moment, did not expect the Blazers to upset the 136-131 beat the Eagles.
In the face of the Hawks' weak defense, the Blazers side played to give and take, a total of 89 shots 47, shooting a high of 52.8%, the highest score in the team is Simmons, he shot 13 of 21 in the game, 9 of 16 three-pointers, 43 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists, it is worth mentioning that Simmons became the youngest 40+ player in the history of the Blazers, the lad is only 22 years old this year, this campaign he played the role of Lillard fortunately he did well.
In a post-match interview, Simmons said his grandfather died of cancer last night, so the match was a commendable tribute to his grandfather. In addition to Simmons, the team also had three other people cut 20+: Nurkic had 21 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal, Powell had 26 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals, and Little had 22 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal.
Although Simmons scored 43 points, but he is not the highest scorer in the game, the highest score is Trae Young, today Trae Young showed everyone what is called personal heroism, he really tried his best, 26 shots 17 of 26 shots, 7 of 12 three points took 56 points, 4 rebounds and 14 assists, contributed so many points and so many assists Generally speaking, players who have won such data can lead the team to win, right? As a result, the Eagles lost.
Trae Young also became the second player in history to score at least 50 points and 14 assists and lose the team, the last one was Nate Archibald, and Trae Young was the sixth player in history to score 55 points and 10 assists in a single game, the previous few were Big O, Westbrook, Harden, Tony Parker, Jordan, of which Deng ge had done 3 times quite strongly, it is worth mentioning that 56 points per game is also a new single-game scoring high in Trae Young's career.
Capela scored 22 points, 11 rebounds and 1 assist in 10 of 10 Trae Young, Hult scored 18 points on 8 of 16 in the game, the team on offensive ability Eagles is not a problem at all, but the defense is really not to see, the defensive efficiency so far this season 112.3 The 25th in the league, the most obvious problem on their defensive end is the backcourt, Hult and Tre Young are not good at defending players, their physical conditions are too limited.
Coupled with the absence of Collins, Reddish and Hunter, who are well defended, it has also led to the tragic mileage of Trae Young today, this season's Eagles want to play decent results, it is difficult for now, their defense is the biggest problem, the team flanks need a decent top defender, he can at least help Trae Young to assist or supplement the defense, Hurth, Bogdan do not have such ability. It would be great to be able to exchange them for a great 3D.
Last season, the Hawks were able to reach the division finals thanks to the Knicks and 76ers for their problems, otherwise they would not be able to play such a result, and then there is something you want to say about the current Hawks? Welcome to leave a message to discuss.
