The NBA regular season continued, with the Hawks losing to the Blazers, but Hawks guard Trae Young blasted 56 points and 14 assists, which was extremely good. With this battle, Trae Young also surpassed Curry and Alphabet Brother in the scoring list.
Before this game, Young's average of points per game ranked fifth in the league, behind Alphabet Brother and Curry. But after 56 points, Young ranked third in the league with an average of 28.4 points per game, surpassing Curry and Alphabet Brother, only 0.1 points less than James who averaged no. 2, and not too far from Durant, the league 29.7 points per game.
However, the average performance of 28.4 points per game is not a new career high for Yang, who averaged 29.6 points per game in the second season of his career in 2019-20, but Yang's shooting rate in that season was only 43.7%. Now, his shooting percentage of 46 percent has set a new season high, and his 38.1 percent three-point shooting rate is also a career high, and Young's offense is more efficient than in the past.
So far this season, only Trae Young and the Warriors' Curry have performed 50+10 in a single game, and no other player, whether it's James of the Lakers, Durant and Harden of the Nets, or other players, has not performed in this way. It's not hard to see how well Yang's performance is.
The fly in the ointment is that the Hawks have a poor record this season, and the team that reached the Eastern Conference Finals last season is currently ranked 12th in the East with only 16 wins and 20 losses, and whether they can make the playoffs seems to be in doubt.
Of course, Yang's personal performance is still outstanding. In the 2019-20 season, the Eagles only ranked second to the bottom in the East, but Young still entered the All-Star with excellent personal performance, which was his first all-star selection, and the only time he was selected as an All-Star, and was selected as a starting player.
Now, Young has once again played an excellent personal performance, although the Eagles have a poor record, but if they can maintain such an excellent performance, I believe Yang can still return to the All-Star.
