The NBA regular season continues, the Hawks host the Raptors, before the game, the Hawks are in good shape, in order to impact the playoffs, the team slowly showed strong competitiveness, but the Raptors have not been in good shape recently. The first quarter of the game was very sticky, but the next two quarters of the Eagles hanging raptors, the second and third quarters of the net win of 13 points and 22 points respectively, which made the key fourth quarter into garbage time, in the end there was no surprise, after four quarters of competition, the Hawks beat the Raptors 127-100 by 27 points. After the game, the Raptors ranked 7th in the East with 32 wins and 27 losses, and the Hawks ranked 10th in the East with 29 wins and 31 losses. If the Hawks can play this momentum in every game, they can still make it to the playoffs, and probably not have to play the playoffs. One thing to say is that for a team that reached the Eastern Conference Finals last season, it is unacceptable to be only in the top 10 now.
In this game, Trae Young ushered in a big explosion, the whole game got 41 points, 11 assists and 4 rebounds of the highlight data, more importantly, only 23 years old he cut the 22nd time in his career to cut 40+ data, which made for the third person in NBA history, second only to James and Jordan! In addition, he became the fourth person since the 2010 season with a single 40+10 and a shooting rate of at least 70%, before him only James, Harden and Curry. It is undeniable that Trae Young is the most offensive new star in the active league. After the game, he also said domineeringly that he believed he would bounce back, and that scoring was not a problem at all, and that he played smarter than the defenders. It is worth mentioning that Trae Young still has ambitious goals, he wants to become the top 100 stars in NBA history, with 25 years to go, will he achieve his dream? Of course, if he can maintain this state until the age of 33 or so, he is still very promising to be selected. According to the rules of increasing the top 50 stars to 75 stars, basically the first 50 people have not changed, but only added 25 of the best players in the active duty.
The Raptors did not play well in this game, especially in the second and third quarters, giving up the characteristics of good defense and fighting with the Eagles with good offensive ability, which is a very unwise choice, coach Nas also said that he did not play a good game plan before the game, and the tactics were a bit chaotic. The main player VanVleet took the initiative to say that he did not become a good leader to lead the team out of the slump, and he scored 24 points in this game. Another main player, Siakam, was sluggish, scoring just 14 points in the game, while substitute Achuva played well and scored 21 points. The next game against the Nets will be the key battle for the Raptors to defend the 7th place in the East, and the morale of the latter is like a rainbow, just defeated the defending champion, the Raptors have little chance of winning. It is worth mentioning that according to Nash, Durant is unlikely to return in the next two games, and the Nets will have to rely on Irving to win.
