The Eagles were in a life-and-death battle, Trae Young was completely lost, Hunter 35+ 11 helpless 6 fouls left the field, and the Eagles lost 3 points to the Heat to announce the elimination. Before the Game of Hawks and Heat began, the Heat announced that Butler was absent due to knee pain, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Hawks. Unfortunately, Trae Young suddenly lost in this game, scoring 2 of 11 shots in Butler's absence, with 11 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists. In the series against the Heat, Trae Young was completely beaten back to his original form, and the talent flaws prevented him from responding when facing a tough defense.
After the game, Trae Young landed on the national hot search, and his performance was attacked by foreign netizens: he is a soft egg! Some netizens said that in the playoffs with greater defensive intensity, players like Trae Young are difficult to survive, breaking through the dunk is the simplest and most direct way to score, but Trae Young can't do it; he will never compare him with Doncic again, because he is not worthy; some netizens said that this Eagles team is useless to change who to bring, they are facing the first in the East, even if Doncic and Curry come, they will be prevented from death.
One thing to say is that the other Players of the Eagles played well in this game, except for Trae Young's shot, the other Hawks shot a total of 29 of 62, shooting 47%. Trae Young was heavily guarded by the Heat, which was the reason for his poor performance, but as a star, it was also something that had to be overcome.
Trae Young is less physically gifted than the other stars, which results in few weapons he can use on the offensive end. In the face of a more oppressive defense, he can only be forced to shoot ultra-far three-pointers from the outside, but in fact his three-point shooting rate is not high, this style of play will hurt the team. In five playoff games with the Heat, Trae Young averaged 15.4 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 6 turnovers, shooting 31.9 percent from the field and only 18.4 percent from three-point range. He hit just 22 shots, but he made 30 turnovers, more mistakes than shots.
Trae Young was so out of temper by the Heat that he only had four shots in the final quarter, feeling that he had no intention of winning in the final moments. In contrast, Hunter's performance was commendable, Hunter scored 18 points on 6-of-8 shooting in the last quarter, but unfortunately he failed to control his foul count and was sent off before the end of the game. Hunter scored a game-high 35 points on 11-of-21 shooting in the game, plus 11 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 steals, contributing a lot on both ends of the game. After the game, Trae Young also frankly said that he was completely prevented by the Heat, and the "Mayor of New York", who has always been arrogant, bowed his head, and could only say that the Eagles lost this round of the series unjustly.
