Beijing time on January 24, the NBA regular season continued, today the Hornets sat at home to usher in the challenge of the Hawks, as two very competitive youth teams in the East, they all have the common problem is to attack strong and weak, but recently with the return of Hunter, the Hawks' defense has improved significantly, and today plus the Hornets side Hayward is absent, and finally the Hawks easily defeated the Hornets at 113-91.
The Hornets were so ironclad, their multi-point blossoms could be said to have not played at all, Bridges shot 8 of 13 from the field, 4-of-3 points and 11 rebounds and 1 block, three-pointers on 17-of-6 shooting, three-pointers on 8-of-0 with 19 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, Oubre and Washington both scored 12 points, the Hornets shot 34-of-87 from the field, shooting only 39.1%, 36-of-36 from 4-of-36 shooting, shooting 11.1%, these three-pointers are really difficult to win.
The Hawks side scored the most points is Trae Young, 9 of 20 shots, 8 of 15 three-pointers to get 30 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal data, this campaign the Eagles side scored fewer people in double figures, a total of only 3, in addition to Trae Young, Hunter shot 6 of 11, 3 points 1 of 4, took 20 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist 3 steals and 1 block, Gallinari scored 10 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block, after winning, the Eagles won 4 consecutive wins, although they are still ranked 12th in the East, But with Hunter's return, he was on the right track.
Hunter's recent performance has been very good, with 22 points and 5 rebounds against the Timberwolves, 20 points and 9 rebounds against the Bucks, and 20 points and 3 rebounds against the Heat. Last season, the Hawks coach said that he would build a team with Trae Young and Hunter as the core, but hunter missed most of the games last season due to injury, and has missed many games after his comeback this season, but the Hawks have become stronger in the game he is still very obvious.
Hunter's return made Collins lose most of the ball, which is also the reason why Collins was dissatisfied with the tactical status recently, this campaign Collins only made 5 shots in the whole game to score 8 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, a future player who has become an All-Star, the result is now reduced to the team's role player, lost the status of the second boss, according to the current situation, Collins will most likely force the management to send themselves, and the Eagles in order to correct Hunter, sacrificing Collins is also worth it, after all, Hunter's ceiling is higher.
In college, Hunter was the FMVP of the NCAA, suppressing morant, Zion and Barrett, and he was the No. 4 show of this year, Hunter's template was Leonard, very stable and top defensive ability, it was because of his return, the Eagles' defense has picked up, played a recent excellent performance, but because Hunter's excellent performance is also so that the opponent is very eager to put pressure on him, this is not today Oubre in the game of The action of Hunter was expelled.
This time Oubre's foul was a bit like the previous foul by Grayson Allen against Caruso, which is expected to be punished with an additional ban tomorrow, and Hunter received ice treatment after the game, which seems to have been affected a lot. The recent Hawks have beaten division giants like the Heat and Bucks, which also shows how good their potential is, last season's Hawks can reach the division finals more by luck, and this season to reach the playoffs or go further, it depends on strength.
