The new king of the Eastern Conference, the next Thunder! Johnson 31+18+14+7, only Trae Young can stop the Hawks

The Hawks defeated the Jazz with a score of 132:122 in the away game. Although this was just an ordinary victory, it had a completely different meaning because they had already won 4 consecutive victories without Trae Young. The most embarrassing thing now must be Trae Young, because with Trae Young, the Hawks' record is 2 wins and 3 losses, with a winning rate of only 40%. Without him, the Hawks' winning rate is as high as 75%. It is no exaggeration to say that the Hawks are the next Thunder, but the prerequisite is that Trae Young must leave!

In the past few games, they defeated the Lakers who were gaining momentum. It was the Hawks who ended the Lakers' 5-game winning streak. At the time, they thought it was just an accident. Now it seems that they underestimated the Hawks. So how strong are these young guys from the Hawks? Let's take a look at their performance. This is truly a forward team. The forwards that every team dreams of are all concentrated in the Eagles.

It is said that the Lakers have three engines, James, Doncic, and Rivers, but no matter how powerful the three engines are, they are not as powerful as five perpetual motion machines. That's right, the Eagles have five perpetual motion machines.

1. Johnson, 23 years old, 203cm tall. Today he scored 31 points, 18 rebounds, 14 assists, and 7 steals, a near-double figure. Yes, he is very likely to become the next Alexander. Alexander is an offensive and defensive player. Many people ignore his defensive ability, but Johnson can see that he is also an offensive and defensive player. His direction of progress is Alexander.

2. Okongwu, 24 years old, 208cm tall. He scored 32 points, 11 rebounds, 2 steals, and 3 blocks. The most exaggerated thing is that today he made 8 3-pointers. You must know that he is a center. He may be better than the Thunder's Harden, with more athletic ability and better three-point ability.

3. Risa Xie, 20 years old, 208cm tall. He only played 19 minutes and scored 11 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists. He is very similar to Holmgren. Both of them have bamboo pole-shaped figures and their playing style is to move around the court. All he needs is to grow.

4. Daniels, 22 years old, 201cm tall. His performance on the offensive end today was not good, he only scored 2 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 assists, but he was obsessed with defense and only took two shots on the offensive end. Seeing him reminds people of Dortmund of the Thunder. They basically do nothing on the offensive end, but they are useless on the defensive end no matter who they face. What they specialize in treating is the opponent's offensive arrow.

5. Krejic is 25 years old and 203cm tall. Today I scored 20 points, 3 assists, 3 steals, and made 6 3-pointers. Although not as good as the Thunder's Jaylen Way, he is still an offensive and defensive player.

Just imagine, what is the concept like when five players with a height of more than 200cm are on the court at the same time? The key question is that these players can integrate offense and defense. Isn't this another version of the Thunder?

Let’s look back at the previous question. The current NBA has entered an era where forwards dominate the game. Players around 200cm tall can combine offense and defense. Such players have a great influence on the game. Considering that the current league does not have as many big centers as in the past, including O’Neal, Duncan, Garnett, Gasol, Nowitzki, Roaring God, Ben Wallace, Howard, etc., the dominance of the inside is not so strong, so the forwards have truly risen.

The current lineup of the Hawks is very athletic and young. It is basically five engines. It can play tirelessly on the court. This is very similar to the Thunder. Why is it so dangerous to play against the Thunder? Because the Thunder's players are all young and can always maintain a high-intensity state to play, as long as the opponent becomes tired or takes a breather, the Thunder will win the game immediately. The Eagles also have such potential.

The only one who can stop the Hawks now is Trae Young. Let's talk about the game data. In today's game, the Hawks got a total of 36 assists. A total of 10 players played, 9 of whom had assist data recorded. In terms of steals, the team got a total of 18 steals, blocked 6 shots, and made 24 3-pointers.

Trae Young’s advantage is organization, good assists, and can shoot 3-pointers, but other Hawks players do better and are much more efficient. Trae Young’s performance this season is so bad, his shooting percentage is only 37%, and his 3-point shooting percentage is less than 20%. This is not at all like the data that an NBA player can produce.

So when Trae Young is on the court, the ball is always in his hands, and he plays very inefficiently, and the performance of the entire team will decline. This is why it is said that only Trae Young can stop this Eagle.

The Hawks management also sees it very clearly. Just this summer, they rejected Trae Young's request for a contract extension. That's more than 50 million. If it is used properly and uses this 50 million to introduce an offensive and defensive star, then the Hawks will become the strongest team in the East and the new king of the East. You must believe that a team with five forwards as starters can't make a difference even if they want to, so Trae Young must go.
