Beijing time on April 25, the NBA playoffs continue, today the Hawks sat at home to usher in the third challenge of the Heat, after the two sides played 2-1, if the Hawks can win this battle, they will return to the same running line with the Heat, but the last game they defeated the opponent is only relying on Trae Young's kill, although the Heat lack of Lowry, but their strength is still significantly stronger than the Hawks, this campaign Heat insisted on the previous few games for Trae Young to put pressure on the method, that is, unlimited change of defense and force, As a result, the eagle was also locked, and the Heat eventually took the eagle with 110-86.
The biggest contributor to the Heat's win in this game is Butler, who shot 12 of 21 in the game, 1 of 2 of three points, got 36 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals, experienced the test of 4 games in the playoffs, it is estimated that no fan will say that Butler is a pseudo-superstar, averaging 21.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.6 steals in the regular season, averaging 30.5 points, 7.8 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 2.8 steals so far in the playoffs. Turnovers also dropped from 2.1 per game to 1.3, shooting 48 percent from the regular season, 23.3 percent from three-point range, 54.3 percent from the playoffs, and 44.8 percent on three-pointers so far, all but improving in addition to assists.
It is worth mentioning that Butler has cut a single game 35+10 performance in the Heat playoffs 3 times, team history has tied Wade, second only to James's 5 times, watching Butler's perfect performance, eagle fans even shouted MVP at home, do not know how to see such a scene, Trae Young will think, from here it is not difficult to see the Eagles fans for the home team players disappointed, Young scored 8 points in the first game of the series 12 shots.
Facing the Heat's defense today, a total of 11 shots 3 of 9 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 turnovers, which is like a star should play the performance, specifically this game in addition to Hunter play is still excellent, other players are locked by the Heat's suffocating defense, Hunter won 24 points and 3 rebounds in the whole game, in addition to him Collins scored 11 points, but 19 minutes 5 fouls, and garbage time brushed 12 points Knox, the whole team only 3 people scored double-doubles.
Trae Young, as the team's first ball-holding core, has played like this, and it is estimated that the other two are not much better, Bogdan scored 4 points and 4 rebounds on 1 of 6 in the game, and Hult scored 4 points and 4 assists on 1 of 7 in the game, which was too crotch-pulling. If Redish had been left, his defense and three-pointers might have been able to help the Hawks, much stronger than these offensive and defensively weak ball-holding cores, Trae Young had previously been blown into the top star, and as a result, he was also exposed to the really strong team.
So far in the playoffs, Trae Young has only hit 20 goals in 4 games, shot 67 times, the shooting rate is only 29.8%, the three-point is a total of 33 shots to hit 7 goals, the shooting rate is only 21.2%, although 4 games down although 20 assists, but there are 20 mistakes, assist error ratio 1:1, basically a assist has a mistake, such a performance is not at all the top of the ball holding core, compared to Doncic's stable killing, Trae Young is still worse.
Trae Young was interviewed after the game about the loss, he said: "If you watch the game, you will notice that the opponent has five people on the inside, their defense is great, I really didn't get any good shots, I shot 11 times, several of them were barely shots, they gave us a lot of pressure, we couldn't cope, really didn't hit any shots, we didn't play well, that's the result. ”
It sounds like Trae Young is beaten out of temper, before has been hard to see no one disobedient Yang no regrets, this time is planted in the hands of the Heat, although last season reached the divisional finals, but they can reach the divisional finals more or rely on luck and opponents have obvious weaknesses, now facing the real strong team, the problem of the Eagles lineup disadvantages has emerged, their backcourt lacks an iron gate that can make up for Trae Young's lack of defense, Collins such a talent has not been reused, perhaps the Eagles should be shuffled in the offseason.
Hult and Pogdan are good, but there is no need to keep them, just leave a sixth man, and there is enough space for Collins and Huntra to start. That being said, I don't know if Collins will stay, after all, he has long been dissatisfied with the ball and will force the palace to leave the team in the offseason.
