The Hawks 107-101 black Cavaliers and got the Eastern Playoff tickets, once became the Cavaliers of the Eastern Dark Horse, and finally fell on the playoffs, losing consecutive games to the Nets and Hawks, losing really hard, because they had to face a super point guard of Trae Young's level.
We don't deny the Cavaliers' tactical strategy towards Trae Young, the start did work well, limiting Trae Young to death, and Trae Young was pressed on the bench most of the second quarter to retain physical strength, and obviously the adjusted Trae Young proved himself to be a superstar, not the shining point guard in James's mouth with Garland.
Before this game began, James said that he could not wait to see Garland vs. Trae Young, and also listed them together as the most shining point guard of the game, in fact, Trae Young led the team into the playoffs to win garland, this is not just the result can explain the problem, look at the data comparison, who is the superstar has the answer? Obviously, Garland needs to sharpen himself more.
In the first half, Trae Young did not play well, and the Eagles faced the dilemma of losing at one point. Garland took advantage of the downwind in the first half to hit a good shooting percentage, but the potential of the superstar is to open up the situation in the predicament, and Trae Young did it. In the second half of the game, Trae Young was unstoppable, adapted to the Cavaliers tactics of Trae Young, in the face of a one-on-one single change of defense, Trae Young played very smart, such as facing carl Manin's transposition defense, Trae Young will not shoot in front of the tall arm-length Carl Manin, but use his ball control skills and footsteps, passed Carl Manin, broke the Cavaliers' defense line, and finally used his own good throwing hit, this is Trae Young, he can find a way to crack in a desperate situation, At the same time, lead the Eagles to achieve a reversal.
What about Garland? The downwinds of the first half were played well, but by the time the Cavaliers needed a star to come forward in the second half, Garland didn't get the job done. In the end, after the game, Garland shot 9 of 27, 1 of 7 from three-point range, and scored 21 points, 3 rebounds, 9 assists and 3 steals, while making five turnovers. Trae Young shot 13 of 25, 4 of 11 three-pointers, 8 of 9 from the free throw line, cut 38 points, 3 rebounds, 9 assists and 1 block, and Trae Young did not make a single mistake in the second half, it is difficult to imagine that this is Trae Young who made 3 of 11 in the first half and made 4 mistakes, which is the answer of the superstar.
Perhaps Garland is the shining point guard similar to Trae Young in James's mouth, but the performance at the key moment, Garland is still too good, Trae Young has walked in front of Garland, and Trae Young is already a superstar, Garland also needs to prove his talent, don't forget last year's playoff Trae Young, how good he really is.
