Earlier today, the Hawks welcomed a challenge with the Pelicans at home, and the Hawks' young master Trae Young also ushered in a comeback (the last game against the Grizzlies was absent due to quadriceps contusion), although at one point behind the opponent by as many as 19 points, the Hawks did not tie their hands, but in the final quarter, they chased the points wildly, playing a 36-26 shockwave against the opponent, but unfortunately because the previous backward points were indeed too much, the Hawks finally lost 112-117.
Intriguingly, in the Home Games of the Hawks against the Grizzlies on March 19, Trae Young was absent from this game, but the Hawks beat the opponent 120-105, and today Trae Young ushered in a comeback, facing the Pelicans' mediocre strength and lack of Ingram's residual team, the team still lost, and it is inevitable that people will start to question whether Trae Young's ability to lead the team is overrated. This season, Trae Young has only missed 6 games for the Hawks, and in the 6 games he missed, the team's record is 3 wins and 3 losses, many of which have won strong teams such as the Grizzlies and the 76ers, relying on role players such as Pogdanovic, Hunter, and Gallinari, the Hawks have really shown a tenacious "undead little strong" spirit. But in the 65 games he played, the Eagles' record was 32 wins and 33 losses, and the winning rate was only 50%.
When a team core is absent, the team's winning percentage is higher, and Trae Young is indeed a bit embarrassing for the Hawks. It is undeniable that Yang Shaoxia has indeed had great achievements in the offensive end and the organizational end since entering the Eagles in 18 years, but he is only 1 meter 85 tall and weighs only 81KG, and he is indeed a big hard injury in terms of stature, but where his feel is in the doldrums, the defensive end is an infinite black hole, and the Eagles put him on the field, which will really be a side effect.
According to relevant statistics, in the 33 games in which Trae Young lost to the Eagles, he averaged only 25 points per game, shooting percentage and three-point shooting rate as low as 41.2% and 31.9%, respectively, plus-minus to -8.8, but in contrast to the 32 games won, Yang had an average of 31 points per game, with a shooting rate of 49.9% and a three-point shooting rate of 43.8%, with a plus-minus value of +11.5. And today's Eagles lost to the Pelicans, without exception, Trae Young pulled his crotch at the offensive end, although Ingram was absent, but the Pelicans relied on Najimaschauer, Herbert Jones, Alvarado, these hard-working defensive toughsters, and really completely limited Trae Young, in the whole game, Trae Young in 33 minutes of playing time, 14 shots only hit 5 goals, the whole game only scored 21 points, -19 plus or minus is also equal to Hunter, the worst of the team.
It is true that last season, Trae Young helped the Eagles to "turn over the salted fish", from the previous fish belly to the dark horse team in the Eastern Finals, but the gold content is indeed debatable, the Knicks and 76ers they defeated, of which the core of each is in the downturn (Knicks Randall, 76ers Simmons), and the Eagles' outside feel and defense remain at a certain level, which also allows them to meet with the Bucks in the Eastern Finals.
There is no doubt that Trae Young is indeed the number one core of this Eagles, but if the team still wants to continue to build a team around him, it must also be like the Warriors against Curry, to find a group of defensive sharp soldiers for them, so that they can hope to continue to maintain competitiveness, if Trae Young really wants to stage this kind of "kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred" plot on the field, then they are doomed not to go far.
