9 of 28 shots in two knockout matches, the Magic wing star has been in a bad state recently, right?

In a previous Men's Basketball European Championship, the German team completed a reversal in the last quarter of the game, defeating Slovenia 99-91 without any danger, and successfully advanced to the semi-finals. After this game, Germany will compete with Finnish team, which defeated Georgia, for a final spot; while Slovenia will be eliminated with some regrets.

In this game, the German starting wing star Franz Wagner performed quite well. Wagner played 35 minutes and 34 seconds in the game, made 5 of 17 shots, 0 of 3 from outside the three-point line, and 13 of 14 free throws, and obtained the team's highest score of 23 points plus 7 rebounds and 4 assists. There were 1 turnover and 2 fouls, including 4 frontcourt rebounds, with a plus-minus value of +4. Wagner got a lot of mobile phone opportunities in this game, but his offensive efficiency was not ideal, his scoring ability was not fully utilized, and he did not have the effect he should have on the court. His feel in outside shooting was also not ideal, and his performance on the defensive end was also very disappointing. Wagner scored a lot of points through free throws, which can be regarded as providing some help and support to the team. However, from the actual situation, with Wagner's personal ability and his previous performance, he has every reason to do better on the court. He should have provided a lot of help and support to the team. Since the start of the European Championship, Wagner has played 7 games in total, with averaging 25.2 minutes per game, averaging 21 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.3 steals, 0.1 blocks, and 0.7 turnovers and 1.4 fouls. His shooting percentage is 48.4%, a three-point shooting percentage of 29.2%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 86.2%, and a plus-negative value per game is +19.7. Wagner performed quite well in the group stage, his scoring ability is very stable, and his offensive efficiency can also be maintained at a high level. However, in the knockout round, his performance declined significantly. He shot 28 times in two knockout rounds, hitting only 9 goals, and he made 0 of 7 shots outside the three-point line. As a key figure in the team, such performance is indeed a bit worrying, and he has not played his due strength and role at all. It is because the overall strength of the German team is relatively strong that they can successfully advance.

Wagner was born in August 2001. He is 24 years old, 208cm tall and weighs 100kg. He is the wing player selected by the Orlando Magic in the 9th pick in the first round in the 2021 NBA Draft. Wagner has performed very well in the NBA field. He has shown the level of a top star, and his performance in the NBA field is obvious to all. We also cannot understand why Wagner actually performed like this in these two knockout matches, which directly dragged down the team's overall performance. I don’t know if Wagner can wake up in time and play a competitive performance in the next semi-finals.
