The NBA playoffs continued, and the Heat's game against the Hawks G1 officially began. I believe that most fans before the game will predict that the Heat will be able to win this game easily, after all, the Heat are the first team in the East, and the Hawks are only the eighth team in the East. Sure enough, after the game began, the Heat quickly grasped the initiative on the field. In the first quarter, the Heat led by five points. In the second quarter, the Heat led by 18 points. Even in the second half, the Heat still have a firm grip on the initiative on the court. In the end, after four quarters of battle, the Heat easily defeated the Eagles 115-91.
Objectively speaking, the Heat's win in this game is well deserved. The reason is that the Heat have won overwhelmingly in all the statistics of this game. Let's take a look at a few sets of data. In terms of assists: The Heat gave up 35 assists, and the Hawks only had 16 assists. In terms of the number of turnovers: the Heat made 15 turnovers and the Hawks made 18 turnovers. Shooting percentage: The Heat shot 52% from the field, 47% from three-point range, and 61% from the free throws. The Eagles shot just 38 percent from the field and 21 percent from three-point range. Obviously, in the face of these data, I can only say that the Eagles lost this game without any temper.
Well, after talking about the reasons why the Hawks lost. Next, let's talk about the players' performances. In this article, I will focus on the three players butler, Robinson and Trae Young.
First of all, Robinson, in this game Robinson played 22 minutes, 9 of 10 shots, including 8 of 9 three-pointers, 1 of 1 free throw, got 27 points, 1 rebound, plus-minus +16. For Robinson's performance in this game, we can't use the word "super accurate" to describe Robinson. Fans who have watched the game will know how accurate Robinson's game is, whether it is an empty three-pointer, a fluttering 3-pointer, or a defensive 3-pointer, Robinson can easily throw the ball. To borrow a phrase from fans, "Robinson just shoots the ball and scores". What is more worth mentioning is that it is precisely because of Robinson's three-point shot Heat that there is enough room for breakthrough, and it is precisely because of Robinson's three-pointer Heat's offense that can play so smoothly. To put it bluntly, Robinson is a key player who can change the opponent's defensive system.
After saying robinson, let's talk about Butler. Butler played 33 minutes and shot 9-of-15, including 1-of-2 from three-point range and 2-of-7 from the free throw line, and got 21 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals, plus-minus +27. If Robinson is the Heat's three-point shooter, then Butler is undoubtedly the leader of the Heat, and it is also the Heat's "golden oil". When the team needs to score, Butler can stand up and use his personal strength to help the team score. When the team needs to defend, Butler will stand up and lead by the way of defending the opposing team's top scorer. When the team needs to sort out the offense, Butler will also use itself as a diversion point. All in all, Butler is a very practical leader who never values data but wins.
Finally, speaking of Trae Young, if Butler and Robinson are shining in the whole field, then Trae Young's game is a bit embarrassing. Trae Young played 28 minutes in the game, shooting 1 of 12, including 0 of 7 from three-point range and 6 of 7 from the free throw line, with 8 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 6 turnovers. It is no exaggeration to say that no one will believe that this is the data handed over by Trae Young if you don't look at the name, after all, Trae Young is the leader of the Eagles, and he is also a star in the eyes of fans. Especially against the Heat, the probability of the Hawks winning if Trae Young does not play is almost zero. Butler also said after the game when talking about Trae Young: "Trae Young just lost a lot of goals that he could normally throw. ”
After the game, the Heat led the Hawks 1-0. The second match between the two sides will start at 7:30 a.m. Beijing time on April 20, and we will wait and see whether the score between the two teams will be 2-0 or 1-1.
