Trae Young has become enemy number one of the New York public after shining in the first game of the series with a winning basket with 0.9 seconds remaining. The point guard shone with 32 points and 10 assists with a perfect 9 of 9 from the free throw line; however, he forced the occasional offensive foul that the fan reproached him for.
For this reason, the mayor of New York City, Bill de Blasio, wearing the Knicks cap, wanted to send him a message for the second game, which will be this next morning from 01:30 Spanish hours.
“This is very serious, and I want to get this message across to Trae Young on behalf of the people of New York and anyone who cares about playing basketball the right way: Bring it on, stop looking for fouls,” de Blasio said.
And I want to quote a great coach like Steve Nash: That’s not basketball. That Hawk is not going to fly in New York City. Play the right way. We’ll see if you can win and I think the Knicks are going to teach you a lesson tonight, ”he added.
For this next morning another deafening atmosphere is expected with 15,000 spectators at Madison Square Garden. Julius Randle, who has won the MIP of the 2020-21 regular season, he must take a step forward after his 6/23 in field goals.
