The most overrated star in the league? The team won 2 consecutive games after being absent! No wonder he averaged 24+11 per game and couldn’t get his contract renewed.

On November 1st, the NBA regular season continued, and today was also the first game of the NBA Cup. In a game that no one paid attention to, the Hawks defeated the Pacers 128-108. In this game, the Pacers once established a 12-point lead from the first quarter, but the team's lineup was not thick enough, which also allowed the Hawks to gradually overtake the game. The current Pacers are really miserable. They have injured a total of 8 players and many main players are absent. It is understandable that they cannot beat them.

Sika scored 18 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists on 5 of 15 shots in the game and 2 of 6 three-pointers. Because Marcelin, Nembhard and many others were absent, the opponent directly guarded Sika. The scoring ability is limited, and even Toppin and McConaughey are absent from the game. Under such circumstances, their core rotation last season only left Sika and Nesmith. This lineup is worse than the Mavericks last season. It is not surprising that they have 0 wins and 5 losses since the start of the game.

On the Hawks side, there are more blossoms. The team's best performer in this campaign is Jaylen Johnson. Previously, Lao Li has said that Johnson may be the most letter-like player in active service. He is comprehensive enough and can combine offense and defense. The key is that his talent is very good. It’s just that I haven’t found the three-point touch since the start of the game.

Boshen scored 15 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block in this campaign on 6-of-12 shooting. Facing the remaining Pacers, Boshen was also tough. He scored 4 frontcourt rebounds. This player is really impressive. It would be a pity to abandon him if he is tasteless. Call him useless. His space ability can help the team and he can average 20+ points per game. Call him useful. He will be soft when it comes to tough battles, and his attendance rate is also very low. I don’t think the Hawks will renew his contract after this season.

Alexander Walker, who replaced Trae Young in the starting lineup, also performed very well in this campaign. He made 8 of 14 shots and scored 21 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists. After the Timberwolves lost Walker, their bench firepower has seriously declined. Risashe scored 13 points and 1 rebound in this campaign, and Okongwu scored 14 points and 9 rebounds as a substitute. After Trae Young was absent, Daniels also got enough ball rights and performed at the level that MIP should have last season. In this campaign, he scored 18 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals.

After winning, the Hawks ushered in two consecutive victories. They won both games in the absence of Trae Young. When Trae Young played before, the team had 1 win and 3 losses, and the record was very bad. Maybe some fans here said: Isn't this just an accident? The sample size is so small. But fans who have paid attention to the Hawks know that in the past few years, the Hawks can be said to have boasted about Young in both success and failure. Trae Young has excellent organizational skills. He can connect the whole team very well and can provide the team with security.

But his personal offensive ability is very limited, not to mention inefficient on the offensive end, and he also likes to get in trouble. Sometimes he does not go to score, but to draw fouls. If he is given free throws in this style of play, it is fine, but if he is not given free throws, it is a mistake, because he is not rushing to score goals. Therefore, the Eagles do not have such an outstanding record under his leadership, and it is more about the ranking of the play-offs. This is in the East. If it is in the West, it will definitely not enter the play-offs.

Trae Young still has a big problem. He has no defensive ability, and because of his talent, he can easily become the focus of opponents in the playoffs. In addition, the penalty scale has become looser in the playoffs, which also greatly reduces Trae Young's value on the offensive end. It can be said that in the playoffs, apart from passing, he has side effects in other aspects. Although he has produced good data in the regular season, he only gives away points in the playoffs.

This is also the reason why the Hawks did not renew Trae Young's contract during the offseason. Trae Young had the opportunity to reach a maximum-salary contract extension with the Hawks this summer, but the Hawks did not give it, which made Trae Young very dissatisfied. It is estimated that the Hawks were also disappointed with him.

They are Jaylen Johnson and Daniels. If Johnson has enough ball rights, he can perform at an All-Star level. If Daniels lets him play the 1st position, although his offensive ability is not good, his defense is good enough and he is more selfless, which can bring defensive intensity to the team. The 24-year No. 1 pick, Lisa Shee, has never been able to get enough ball rights because of Trae Young. In fact, the Hawks have been suffering from Trae Young for a long time. If they can't achieve the desired record around him this season, the team will probably give up on him.

This season is the last chance given to him by the Hawks. The Hawks introduced Porcelain and Alexander Walker for him, just to see if Trae Young can lead the team successfully, and if not, they will give up. Having said that, what do you want to say about the current Eagles? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
