On April 20, Beijing time, the Heat defeated the Hawks 2-0. In this game, Jimmy Butler played very well, contributing a comprehensive number of 45 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals in the whole game, which also became a new high in Butler's playoffs. In the end, the Heat, 115-105, won the opponent with a 10-point difference.
Entering the playoffs, the Heat ranked first in the East, the Hawks ranked eighth in the East, and fans familiar with the playoffs are very clear that the regular season and the playoffs are completely different things, and there is no shortage of black eights in the history of the NBA, so the Eagles may not necessarily be unable to beat the Heat, and anything can happen.
Now that the first round has played two games, the Heat have won 2 games, which is extremely unfavorable for the Eagles, and it can even be said that the Eagles have been forced to the Jedi. Overall, the Heat's defense has been excellent, especially for Trae Young's restrictions. As a defensive star, a player like Butler is really rare, and his role in the team is self-evident.
Trae Young is an offensive player, the projection ability is very good, often able to hit a lot of incredible goals, so that many defenders are helpless, as a small player, Trae Young's performance is also a historical level, but this year's playoffs, for Trae Young is a big test. If the Hawks are eliminated in the first round, then Trae Young does have an unshirkable responsibility. The defensive intensity of the playoffs is much stronger than in the regular season, and in the second game, Trae Young has 25 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists, and the performance is also very good, but the data of 10 turnovers is really difficult for fans to accept.
If you can overcome the heat of this mountain, then Trae Young is enough to prove their strength, especially the ability to lead the team, you know, if you want to grow into a superstar, a large part depends on your ability to lead the team, how far can you lead the team in the playoffs, last season the Eagles once played to the Eastern Conference Finals, and finally lost to the Bucks, this year from the current situation, 2-0 situation to want to turn over is not easy, if the next game continues to lose, then the series is very likely to end early, And if the Hawks make their first playoff round, the Hawks still haven't gained this season. Therefore, for Trae Young, this year's playoffs are very critical, especially when it comes to a defensive team like the Heat, Trae Young needs to prove himself, although this is a huge challenge for him.
