On April 16, Beijing time, today, the Eagles completed a big reversal after once trailing by 14 points, and finally defeated the Cavaliers by 6 points and successfully advanced to the playoffs. In this game, Trae Young in the second half is like Jordan possessed, giving and taking at the offensive end, cutting 32 points, the third quarter and the fourth quarter each scored 16 points, the whole game, "New York Mayor" struggled for 40 minutes, 13 of 25, slashed 38 points, 3 rebounds and 8 assists, a difficult throw in the last quarter, a fatal blow, successfully killed the game, and became the absolute hero of the team's victory.
After winning this victory, the Eagles' first-round opponent will be the Miami Heat, the number one in the East. The Heat's goal this season is obvious, that is, to win the championship, but the Eagles are not easy to mess with, they can go all the way from the bottom team at the beginning of the season to the playoffs, naturally have their strength, not to mention, they are still last season's Eastern Conference Finals team, the overall strength can not be underestimated. Unfortunately, the Eagles lost a major player in this game, and Capela was knocked to the knee by the latter in the second quarter due to pulling Mobley, and then was helped by his teammates to play.
The referee played back the video and blew a penalty for an ordinary foul, and before going off the field, Capela scored 7 points and 8 boards on all 3 shots. The Hawks then officially announced that Capela's knees were overextended and would not return for the game. In terms of the degree of injury, Capela may have to make rest adjustments, but despite this, they still have a big news after the game, according to Eagles reporter Chris Kirschner, in the series against the Heat, Collins will return to the line of fire, so that the Hawks' internal pressure will be greatly alleviated.
Collins has averaged 16.2 points and 7.8 rebounds per game this season, shooting 52.6% from the field, and is an uncompromising warrior, last season's Hawks were able to reach the Eastern Conference Finals, Collins' performance was crucial, in the playoffs, Collins averaged 13.9 points and 8.7 rebounds per game, shooting 54.9% from the field. Collins' strength is not only in his scoring, but also in his defense, and he can even defend against a big center like Adebayo. At the moment, the Eagles are most concerned about Capela's injury, and he is one of the team's internal pillars.
If Capela and Collins twin towers are combined, the Heat's interior line may be torn up, plus gallinari on the front line, Pogdan and Trae Young on the guard line, and the Heat's Butler, Hiro, Adebayo and Lowry have injuries large and small, and the Eagles are even expected to play a black eight miracle.
