The Miami Heat's series against the Atlanta Hawks finally came to an end, with the Heat sending Trae Young home for a 4-1 run. In the last game, Victor Oladipo welcomed his first start for the Heat, because Butler hung up the free card, but the Hawks did not take advantage of the Heat, and Bogdan did not play. The point guard, who has been on the bench for a whole season, is finally able to fight in the second game after a game of baptism.
The Atlanta Hawks are in big trouble, and for head coach Mike Milan, how to crack the Heat's infinite change of defense has become a problem. However, after these few games, he also gradually recognized the form of the game, and the Eagles' playing style was indeed killed by the Heat. In addition to letting down his guard at G3, the game in G4 did not give a chance at all, and Trae Young was really unable to withstand the Heat's infinite change of defense routine. The Heat don't have a Butler, and Oladipo can pull up the top, but the Hawks don't have Borgdan, and there is really no one on the offensive end.
The Eagles and the Nuggets are different, the Nuggets' outside line is offensive can be, but the defense is not, the Eagles' outside offensive end is a bit difficult to do without Bogdan, can only work the defensive end. But the disadvantage of the team's outside line is that Yang Shaoxia is there, his physical fitness is placed there, and basically the Heat defenders can play him a few goals. The Eagles want to win, really rely on the bench of a few young players, you like Wright, Okongu on the court plus and minus is basically positive, this is also the Only Eagles can have trading value of the role players.
The heat of this game, the purpose is also very clear, want to end this round of the series, so as to give the team more rest time, easy to study the next round of opponents. So Coach Spoo directly put this Audi, who only played one playoff game, directly into the starting position, because it was against the Eagles, and Audi entered the state quickly. 23 points is the embodiment of the ability of the offensive end, and 3 steals is to show the tough defensive side, and can attack and prevent Yang Shaoxia. In this game, Trae Young still pulled his crotch, playing 41 minutes with only 11 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists.
It's not that Yang Yang doesn't want to attack, he was locked by the Heat's outside line, the whole game shot 12 of 2, three-pointers is 5 of 0, playing Knicks, playing Cavaliers That momentum is gone, Miami is not a place where Blow Yang can spread wilderness. The hawks were able to keep the suspense until the fourth quarter because hunter was alone in CARRY. Hunter did give him an extra five million in this game, but the terrible thing is that the Heat lack Butler and Lowry, relying only on Oladipo to lead the team, can still catch the Hawks, this team has a strong roster depth.
Audi almost rested for a season, playing 8 games in the regular season, and playing not a lot of time combined with only 173 minutes. But the accuracy of the outside line is still the same, and the three-point shooting rate can still be 41.7%; the Heat originally signed Audi, which is also the reason for the treasure hunt, the former All-Star player, can play is earned, can not play can also be an outside defender. From the heat's point of view, it is not a loss, and he can sell a lot of tickets just by relying on his fame.
But Audi's state at this time is different from his peak, from the game point of view, the defensive end is still relatively stable, but the offense is somewhat struggling, but the ability to create damage is still there, and the shooting feel needs to be slowly recovered. If Audi is allowed to act as an outside ball carrier, it is not particularly good from these games. Audi used to be able to shoot suddenly, but now if he faces a higher intensity of defense, it is easy to cause the attack to stagnate. But Audi's return still increased the heat's defensive intensity on the outside.
In the G3 game, although Trae Young watched, the people around him could fight to get a victory in the Heat hands. But in G4, the Heat moved to the real place, reducing the time of the defensive double Luo, and Audi took it out, locked the outside line, and directly extinguished the Eagle's hope.
In fact, the situation of the Heat this year is still clear, they play the set of relying on defense to win the championship, Lowry + Audi + Butler + Tucker + Adebayo, these five people are defensive strongmen in their respective positions. Offensively, the firepower of lowry + Butler + Adebayo is enough, and the addition of two shooters on the bench has created the Heat, ranking first in the East. You can really look forward to the Heat today, there are veterans, there are newcomers, there are main bones, there are good managers, the depth of the lineup is of course enough, this is the standard of the championship team.
This series of games against the Eagles is only a part of the Heat's strength to the outside world. Instead, it was a wake-up call to the Eagles, playing a team without outside defense, Trae Young and his deputies, of course, can rely on accurate projection, in front of them to make a blessing. But his strength is also like this, the heat did not have much strength to push the eagle to death. The reason for losing one game, I think, is that the Heat want to sell more home tickets.
Trae Young entered the league under the banner of Curry Jr., but when dealing with the pressure of outside defense, it was not a star and a half worse than the genuine version. The heat's defensive intensity on him will suffocate him throughout his career; you think back to curry's defensive encounters, a four-point, XBOX1 and many half-court hits, which is to give Trae Young a set, it is estimated that you will not want to score in double figures in a game. Trae Young is skilled, but physically, at most an All-Star player, if you want to compare him with Tatum and Doncic, you will not be eligible for this in the future.
In fact, after this round of the series, the Eagles have also gained something. The first point, you are like Hunter, who has been playing badly before, in the G5 game, the Heat deliberately let him go, but Hunter still responded. Offensive ability is there, you can cultivate it as appropriate. Secondly, okongu and Wright, the two players, it is time to consider starting, they have ball quotient, they have skills, but they just lack a chance.
Trae Young played badly, and like Durant, he was sprayed with dog blood. But what sets him apart from Durant is that Trae Young is trying his best, with technique, but height, arm span, and can't play. But Durant is a change of mentality, he is afraid of losing, a game of 12 0 to his mentality is lost. After that, G3 did not shoot, and the team still lost. By the time you get to G4, you'll wake up, but it's too late, and the Green Army won't give you a chance.
