Madison Garden Square, a city that belongs to the historical record, is also a city that favors Trey Young. Since last year's playoffs, Trae Young has been on the bar with New York fans. Although they sprayed each other with garbage words and all kinds of mutual hatred before and after the game, the love and hatred between the two sides also continued to ferment in the process.
In the previous playoffs, Trae Young had fought more and more courageously in the full booing, constantly fighting back against the fans with key three points. In one game, he hit the crucial three points and then bowed gracefully, directly igniting the anger of New York fans. But hate and love go hand in hand, and while hating him, there are even fans who voted for Trae Young in the election of the mayor of New York.
In the past three trips to Madison Garden Square, Trae Young has averaged 32.7 points and 8.7 assists per game, and his three-point shooting rate is 38.7%. It can be said that the young Trae Young has been tied to New York and created unlimited topicality. And Trae Young, who also continued the fighting spirit against the Knicks, brought this passion to New York again.
Once again, during another away game against the Knicks, Trae Young continued to be booed. But for him, the boos were just the power to stimulate his outbursts. In the first quarter of the game, Trae Young opened firepower and attacked with a pass, guiding the attack of the whole team. With 0.6 seconds left at the end of the quarter, the Hawks had one more serve left, and he didn't expect that he sneaked up on the basket and actually completed the magical air connection and scored 2 points.
At the crucial moment of the last quarter, the two sides played inextricably, and it was Trae Young who stepped forward to help the team take the lead. At 2:54, Trae Young received the ball at 45 degrees on the left side of the arc, and the three-point shot was hit, and the score was pulled to 105 draws. In the next leg, he assisted Bogdanovic to rebound; at 1:04, Trae Young shook Gibson at the top of the arc and then scored from mid-range in a sharp stop at the free throw line. In this goal, Trae Young helped the Hawks take a 113-105 lead, basically killing the game.
Throughout the game, Trae Young played, he played 40 minutes, 13 of 25 shooting, 7 of 15 three-pointers, 45 points and 8 assists. In the face of boos from the audience, Trae Young conquered Madison Garden with a series of wonderful goals and key scores, which impressed Knicks fans.
After this game, Trae Young also tied Wilkins, becoming the highest scorer in a single game against the Knicks in Hawks history. Against the Knicks, he has hit at least 30+ in four consecutive times, second in history behind Jabbar. If one day in the future, Trae Young joins the Knicks, I don't know what kind of crazy scene it will be?
