First of all, congratulations to the Eagles for successfully advancing to the playoffs.
In the second round of the playoffs, the Hawks won 107-101 away to the Cavaliers, this game, the Hawks fell behind by 11 points in the first quarter, at most in the second quarter, at one point behind 14 points, and worse, Capela also injured his knee before halftime and had to leave the court for treatment.
It seems that the Cavaliers are in a good situation, and as a result, in the second half, the storm suddenly changed, the Eagles played 33-23 in the third quarter, equalizing the score, and in the fourth quarter, they played a wave of 23-17 again, completely completed the reversal, and advanced to the playoffs.
In this game, Trae Young's performance was really crazy.
Young's performance in the first half can be said to be very bad, 3 of 11 in the half, only 6 points and 4 assists; but in the third quarter, Trae Young blasted 16 points and 5 assists in a single quarter, and the Eagles also tied the score under his leadership.
In the fourth quarter, it was still Trae Young, who once again fired 16 points in the single quarter, and at the critical moment, Trae Young stepped forward many times:
— With 4 minutes and 04 seconds left, Trae Young threw a shot and the Hawks made it 97-92 to the Cavaliers
— With 3:38 left, Trae Young hit a three-point shot to give the Individual Hawks 100-94 Cavaliers
— With 1 minute and 08 seconds left, Trae Young threw a shot and the Hawks 102-99 Cavaliers
— With 23.8 seconds left, Trae Young hit two free throws to give the Hawks 104-99 Cavaliers
Down the field, Trae Young played a total of 40 minutes, shooting 13 of 25, 4 of 11 three-pointers, 8 of 9 from the free throw line, 38 points and 9 assists, of which in the second half, Trae Young scored 32 points alone, probably what is the concept? In the second half, Trae Young's individual-created points (points plus assists) reached 42 points, and the Cavaliers scored only 40 points across the team.
Interestingly, after winning the win, Trae Young threw the ball into the air and waved goodbye to the Cavaliers home fans — some players are destined for big scenes, and Trae Young is such a player.
This whole season, Blowing Yang is doing what Blowing Yang should do.
In the regular season, Trae Young played in a total of 76 games, averaging 28.4 points, 3.7 rebounds and 9.7 assists per game, his average score per game ranked fourth in the league, and his average assist per game ranked third in the league.
In terms of efficiency, Trae Young's three shooting rates are 46.0%/38.2%/90.4%, and the true shooting rate is 60.3%, all of which are new career highs for Trae Young.
It is also interesting to say that from last year's offseason to the beginning of this season, because of the change in the rules of foul making, many people think that Trae Young will be drastically reduced, and his average number of free throws per game has indeed decreased from 9.3 and 8.7 times in the past two years to 7.3 times this year, but Trae Young has built a stronger version of himself with more accurate three-pointers and throws.
The Hawks have also been very ups and downs throughout the season, ranking third from the bottom of the East at the beginning of the season, almost competing for the most disappointing team in the East, but in the last 40 games, the Hawks won 26 wins and 14 losses, the sixth in the league in the same period, strong play-offs, and won the Hornets, Cavaliers, and advanced to the playoffs.
Trae Young has already proved in last year's playoffs that he can show himself on a bigger stage, and he is not afraid of adversity at all, on the contrary, Trae Young is born to be such a villain, the more booing the more he can stimulate his ability, this year's playoffs, some see.
