Earlier today, the Eagles ushered in a showdown with the Knicks away, although the two sides met in the playoffs last season, but the times have changed, the performance of both teams this season is not satisfactory, they have not been able to enter the top six, which can directly enter the playoffs, although it is a "rookie pecking", but the two sides of the game are very fierce, have been alternately leading, maintaining the suspense of the game until the last moment, and finally the eagles, who are more skilled, still won the Knicks 117-111.
And the Eagles can win this game, the biggest contributor is not the young lord Trae Young, this game he started 39 minutes, 13 of 25 shooting, 7 of 15 three-pointers, 45 points, 1 rebound and 8 assists, after the game he also deliberately updated his twitter: "It feels cool to come back to the city, it's really cool." "Washed the Knicks fans well. In this way, Trae Young also became the sixth player in the history of the league to win 25 single games 40+ before the age of 24, second only to the superstars such as Rick Barry, Chamberlain, McAdoo, Jordan and James, and returned to madison Garden, where he "spat on" him in the playoffs last season, and Trae Young also specifically teased in an interview after the game: "I think they are more powerful in the playoffs, and although some fans can be heard today, they are far less than in the playoffs." ”
Trae Young, known as the "Mayor of New York", whenever he steps on this basketball Mecca holy land, it is indeed his own offensive BUFF attribute, and today's 45 points also allow Trae Young to equal the Hawks' history in the Madison Garden Arena's personal single-game scoring record, after the Hawks star Dominique Wilkins once cut 45+ on January 18, 1988, and now he has equaled the record of 34 years, Trae Young has indeed lived up to the Hawks' ardent expectations for himself.
In addition, this is also Trae Young's 4 consecutive 30+ games in Madison Garden, the first three games, are in the first round of last year's playoffs (32 points, 30 points, 36 points), so that Trae Young in Madison Garden Plaza 30+ consecutive games, second only to NBA historical scorer Tiangou Abdul Abdul (5 consecutive games), temporarily ranked second in NBA history.
As the NBA's oldest venue, Madison Garden Plaza has indeed made many away star "anti-guest-oriented" and created many achievements, Kobe Bryant once scored 61 points here in February 2009, Jordan once scored 55 points in March 95, Curry also scored 54 points here in February 2013, and now Trae Young has cut 30+ in 4 consecutive games here, and really identified this legendary venue, really worthy of being the "Mayor of New York".
However, if Trae Young wants to continue to stage such a 30+ performance in Madison Garden Square, at least in the next regular season is impossible, the two sides will not meet in this last 10 or so games, as for the play-offs, the Hawks may not be able to play against this old enemy, after all, the Hawks can only rank in the tenth place in the East, and the Knicks are in the fourth-to-last place in the East with a record of 30 wins and 42 losses, 7 wins behind the Hawks, in the last 10 games they have to face the Heat, Bulls, The Cavaliers and Nets, as far as the Knicks are in this state, I am afraid that they are more fierce and less auspicious.
