The Hawks, who once played in the Eastern Conference Finals last season, did not perform well in the regular season this season, had to compete for the last playoff spot in the East through the playoffs, under the leadership of Trae Young, the core of the team known as the mayor of New York, two wins and two wins successfully qualified for the playoffs in the eighth place in the West, their first-round opponent was the Eastern Conference regular season champion Heat, in the first meeting of the playoffs, the Heat completely strangled Trae Young with excellent defense, leaving him with no sense of existence in the whole game. Duncan Robinson, who began to play a ghost game after signing a big contract, proved his worth in the playoffs with an unstoppable super god performance, and Butler continued his personal performance of attacking and defending, and finally led the Heat to a 115-91 victory over the Eagles, and the playoffs made a good start!
As we all know, the playoffs are the stage that belongs to the stars, the core of the team to play to a large extent determines the fate of the team and the prospect of promotion, and the current Eagles team, undoubtedly belongs to the new York Mayor Trae Young's team, whether he can play a good personal performance is directly related to the success or failure of the team, in the playoffs to kill the new York mayor, in the first game of the playoffs encountered an iron wall.
Facing the Heat's championship guard Lowry, Trae Young completely lost himself, the mayor of New York who played for 28.3 minutes in the whole game, was directly prevented from doubting life, 12 shots only hit 1 goal, of which his signature three-point shot was all deflected out of 7 shots, and only got 8 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals in the whole game, compared to the personal performance of 28.4 + 9.7 per game in the regular season, there was a cliff-like decline. His poor performance directly determined the fate of the Eagles' fiasco in the first game.
After coming to Miami, Lowry put more energy into defense and organizing the offense, in this campaign, in addition to locking up Trae Young on the offensive end, he also contributed 10 points, 4 rebounds, 9 assists and 2 steals, successfully revitalizing the team's overall offense, and the team's absolute core Butler, this campaign also continued his offensive and defensive performance, 15 shots hit 9 goals, contributed 21 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals, but the regular season performance of Hiro, In the playoffs, he did not perform well, only getting a pitiful 6 points and five turnovers.
Fortunately, Duncan Robinson, who has been criticized before, proved himself worthy of the big contract given by the team in this game, and Dunro, who came off the bench, hit 9 goals in 10 shots, including 8 of 9 three-pointers, with a 130% effective shooting rate, the team's highest 27 points, and also set an NBA playoff scoring record with the same efficiency.
Judging from the heat and eagles' first playoff performance, it is not very difficult for Butler to lead the team to the second round, Trae Young wants to play a personal performance under the Heat's iron defense, it is very difficult, and capela, who was injured in the playoffs, also had a huge impact on the team, the inside line did not have the pie king sitting, the Eagles' dominance at both ends of the attack and defense has a significant decline, so it is difficult for them to stop the Heat's progress, try to play as many playoff games as possible, and become their goal!
