On March 23, Beijing time, the NBA regular season Eagles vs. Knicks, the whole game, Yang shot 13 of 25, 7 of 15 three-pointers, got 45 points and 8 assists, and even brushed the record.
This time to Madison Square Garden, Trey Young, who has mayor Yang's nickname, did not accidentally get the "courtesy" of New York fans, and the familiar slogan "fxxk, Trae Young" sounded again.
However, Trae Young played the Knicks, and he averaged 32.7 points and 8.7 assists in the past three games, shooting 38.1% from three-point range, 9.3 free throws per game, and shooting 89.3% from the free throw range.
This time, under the crazy boos of New York fans, Yang broke out again. In the first quarter, the Hawks' final attack, only 0.6 seconds left, Bogdanovic directly sent a bottom line ball to the front of the field, the Knicks did not expect that they could complete this attack. Only to see Yang jump up to catch the ball, hit the board in the air, and complete the press whistle.
After Yang hit the whistle ball, he turned to face the Knicks fans and made a two-handed downward movement to signal silence.
The ball epitomized Young's fiery state in the first half. After the first half, Young played 20 minutes, shooting 7 of 14, 4 of 8 from three-point range, 6 of 8 from the free throw line, and cut 24 points, 1 rebound, 5 assists and 1 steal, with only 2 turnovers. Back in the second half, Young continued his fiery feel, and at the end of the third quarter, he scored 6 of 12 from three and had already scored 38 points.
At one point, though, the Knicks overtook the score. However, Bogdanovic hit a three-point shot in the final moments of the fourth quarter, followed by Hunter's three-pointer, and the Hawks led by six points. With 1 minute and 04 seconds left, Young shook down Gibson's jumper and hit a jumper, and the Eagles' outstanding performance as the star made Morant can't help but tweet praise.
In this battle, Yang also brushed records continuously:
1. This is his 12th first-half 20+ of the season, tying Embiid and Booker and tied for first place in the league.
