Originally considered the most suspenseless group of matchups, the Hawks were beaten by the Celtics in the first two games of the series, and did not get any chance of winning two consecutive games.
Including three regular season matches, the Hawks lost all of their first five meetings with the Celtics this season, averaging a net minus of 13.2 points per game.
In the first two games of the first round of the playoffs, Trae Young shot 3 of 13 from beyond the three-point line, shooting 23.1% from three-point range and only 35% from the field.
With the stars limited, the Hawks don't look like there's any hope of a turnaround.
In the third game, the Hawks, who returned to their home court, finally found the court, and the Hawks came off the bench to tie the team's all-time record with 74 points in the first half.
The Hawks came off the bench quite well, scoring 35 points in the first half while shooting 92.3 percent from the field and 100 percent from three-point range and free throws.
In the second half, the Celtics tied the score at one point. With the final 2:30 of the game, the Celtics trailed the Hawks by just two points.
At the crucial moment, Trae Young stepped back with a difficult step back to stretch the gap by three points. In the final 45 seconds of the match, Trae Young hit another key throw, and then hit four consecutive free throws to seal the victory.
In the final 2 minutes and 30 seconds, Trae Young scored 9 points on 2-of-2 shooting and 4-of-4 free throws to pull the team back from the cliff.
In Game 4, in the final five minutes of the game, Trae Young shot 5-of-6 and 2-of-2 from the free throw line for 14 points. Helplessly, the green army's double probe flower felt bursting, and Trae Young was difficult to fight with two fists and four hands.
In the fifth game, the Hawks stood on the edge of the cliff again, trailing 3-1, Deontay Murray was suspended for a game for bumping the referee, and Trae Young single-handedly led the team to TD North Shore Garden Arena.
In the first quarter, the Hawks briefly led with 6-of-11 three-pointers, but the Celtics quickly rallied and widened the gap to double digits. Until the final six minutes of the fourth quarter, the Celtics maintained a 13-point lead
Seeing that the eagle has passed, a turning point suddenly appeared.
With back-to-back shots from Tatum and Brown, and the Celtics making back-to-back low-level turnovers, the Hawks rallied to catch up with the score with two consecutive key 3-pointers.
In the final 7.1 seconds, Derek White hit both free throws to give the Celtics a one-point lead, and the pressure came to the Hawks.
The last attack, if you score, you have a chance to return home to continue the playoffs, and if you lose, the season will end directly.
Under such pressure, Trae Young did not panic, calmly started from the backcourt, walked to the front court, and directly shot a long-range three-point shot under Brown's defense.
The ball hollowed into the net to complete the comeback, and Trae Young turned expressionlessly and made a signature celebratory gesture towards the Celtic home fans.
Those who have a thunderous heart and face like a flat lake can worship the general! This moment of blowing Yang has exploded enough to be written into basketball court textbooks.
The level of loading of this ball is already comparable to Lillard's ultra-long killer shot in front of Paul George.
Trae Young became only the second player in the past 25 seasons to hit a 30-foot overshoot in the final five seconds of a game, along with Damian Lillard (36-foot) in front of Paul George in 2019.
The Hawks eventually won the game thanks to Trae Young's long-range three-point shootout, and Trae Young explained what it means to carry the team on your own.
In the final 3 minutes and 18 seconds of the game, Trae Young made 3 of 3 three-pointers and 5 of 5 free throws, and personally handled all of the team's final 14 points, including a long-range three-point shootout in the final minute to take the game away.
The shouts of "Fak blow young" resounded through TD's North Shore Garden Arena, and Trae Young was officially crowned mayor of Boston.
He played 44 minutes, shooting 14-of-33, 5-of-13 three-pointers, 5-of-5 free throws, and scored a game-high 38 points and 13 assists, plus four rebounds and two steals.
During pre-race training, Trae Young said to his good brother Murray, who was suspended: "Get ready for G6, we will return to Atlanta again." ”
He fulfilled his promise and made this ** vividly and clearly.
After the game, Trae Young topped the American hot search list, and along with him on the hot search list was Tatum, who felt cold in this game, shooting only 1 of 10 from beyond the three-point line.
After a slump in the first two games of the series, Trae Young completed his redemption.
In the past three games, Trae Young has averaged 35 points, 12.3 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1.7 steals per game, shooting 45.7% from the field, 37.9% from three-point range and 90.9% from the free-throw line, leading the team to a 2-1 victory and continuing the team's promotion hopes in desperate circumstances.
Trae Young's excellent play in the final quarter also proved his ability to score in key moments.
In the first five games of the series, Trae Young has already scored 60 points in the final quarter, the most in the league since Durant (60 points) in 2011.
So far in the playoffs this season, he shot 43.8 percent from three-point range in the final quarter. Of the players who made more than 10 three-point shots in the fourth quarter, only he and Klay shot more than 40 percent from three-point range.
In an interview after the game, referring to the shouts of Green Army fans "Fak blowing young", Trae Young responded nonchalantly: "When the fans do this, I feel that it is completely out of respect for me, they don't do it to everyone. ”
Unknowingly, Trae Young completed another successful installation*.
Indeed, as he said, not many people have such qualifications. Moreover, not many people can complete such a stunning costume performance against the "Falke" shouts of the entire audience.
Or years later, Trae Young still hasn't achieved the accolades that would have made him one of the top supergiants of all time, but his costumes in New York and Boston are sure to be buried deep in the hearts of fans.
Although millions of people are going to do it, if the NBA were to use the footage on the field to cut a documentary, then Trae Young's performance would be the best.
In terms of pretending, he is already in the top ten levels of history, and there is no controversy.
