Reinforcement that was shaken off to the offense was not successful, and it started again
Following last season’s 20 wins and 47 losses, this season’s 14 wins and 20 losses. The Hawks have decided to dismiss Lloyd Pierce.
Pierce has led the team for the third year. This season was a game year, with young players such as John Collins, Kevin Harter, and Diandre Hunter, centered on Tray Young. Clint Capela, who won in the middle of last season, made his debut in the Hawks this season, with Rajon Rondo, Danilo Gallinari, Bogdan Bogdanovich, Kris Dunn and Solomon Hill off.
The strength should have improved significantly, but the winning percentage has increased only slightly. Pierce created a team centered on Trae Young, and in response to that expectation, Young has grown to become one of the best scorers in the league, scoring 26.5 points in 10th place in the league this season as well. However, as a result of advancing the reinforcement of the offense, traffic congestion occurred at the offense, and the defense was simply weakened. A particular challenge was the defense of the clutch time, and the games that were lost in close competition continued.
It doesn’t mean that we can cooperate with each other after each match, and in February we lost a lot with 4 wins and 11 losses. With a focus on young cores, the intention to thicken the layer with experienced players is out of the question, and for teams such as inexperienced young people and journeymen. And Pierce was taken responsibility for it.
Hawks announced a release saying, “I would like to thank Lloyd not only for his work on the team, but also for his contribution to the city of Atlanta.” Nate McMillan, who led the Pacers until last season and joined the coaching staff this season, is expected to become the interim head coach. From now on, Atlanta will have an NBA All-Star game under Corona, but no Hawks player has been selected. Next to the NBA All-Star Game, the team will start again.
