On February 7, Beijing time, NBA Hawks star Trae Young was interviewed by reporters with the team, talking about the team's 144-149 home defeat to the Clippers yesterday, and his direct matchup with Harden in this game was full of infinite topics: "
It was a very good game, we played very closely throughout the game, both teams were very hot on the offensive end, and the victory was scorched until the last moments. Whoever wins in the end will be able to accept each other, and this is a high-quality battle for points!"
"The Clippers have a great team atmosphere right now, not only do they have two superstars Leonard and Paul George, but now they have Harden and they have a super two-way guard on the team, and the Clippers are really scary on both ends of the floor right now. ”
"Harden has always been a superstar of great reference for a guard that I have a lot of respect for, and he has set countless legends for a guard player in the league. But we weren't treated well by the NBA because both of us didn't make the All-Star team for two seasons in a row, which was a big joke, but we played very well in this game, no worse than any of the All-Stars!"
Trae Young played 35 minutes and 43 seconds in yesterday's game, shooting 8-of-14 from the field, 3-of-7 from three-point range, and 6-of-6 from the free-throw line, scoring 25 points + 2 rebounds + 12 assists + 2 steals.
