The second head of the company has finally found its due level, and Thunder s competitiveness has also been significantly improved?

In the previous NBA Western Conference semi-finals G7, the Oklahoma City Thunder, who played at home, defeated the Denver Nuggets 125-93. After this game, the Thunder locked the total score of the series at 4-3 and successfully advanced to the Western Conference Finals. Next, the Thunder will compete with the Minnesota Timberwolves for a finals, while the Nuggets will be out of the Western Conference semi-finals for two consecutive seasons.

In this game, the Thunder's starting small forward Jalen Williams finally played a performance that suited his abilities. Williams played 32 minutes and 41 seconds in the game, made 10 of 17 shots, 2 of 5 shots from outside the three-point line, and 2 of 3 free throws, scoring 24 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 steal. He also made a mistake, and the plus and negative value reached the highest +35 in the game. Williams defeated all sides on the offensive end. He showed comprehensive scoring ability. His offensive efficiency was very stable. He also seized the opportunity to win a large number of points, providing a lot of support to the team. Williams also played a good role in passing and organizing offense, and he was able to maintain high competitiveness on the defensive end. At least in this game, Williams' performance was remarkable, he played the role he should play, and his outstanding performance also made a huge contribution to the team's big victory.

In the NBA regular season this season, Williams played a total of 69 games in 82 games, averaging 32.4 minutes per game, averaging 21.6 points, 5.3 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.7 blocks, and 2.2 turnovers and 2.3 fouls. The shooting percentage is 48.4%, the three-point shooting percentage is 36.5%, and the free throw shooting percentage is 78.9%. In the playoffs, Williams averaged 35 minutes of playing time in the first 12 games, with averaging 19.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 1.5 steals, 0.7 blocks, and 1.5 turnovers and 1.5 fouls. He shot 44% from the field, 25.4% from three-point shooting percentage and 75% from free throws.

Williams' performance in the game before the playoffs was indeed not ideal. His many data showed a significant decline compared to the regular season stage, and his touch outside the three-point line was even more terrible. The Thunder's performance in this round of the series was so difficult that they would not win until the tiebreak battle and advance to the next round. In fact, to a large extent, it was closely related to Williams' failure to play all his talents. As the second leader of the Thunder, Williams should have played a more critical role on the court, but everyone has seen his performance on the court, which is indeed a bit too mediocre. In this game, Williams' form recovered and the team's competitiveness immediately improved significantly. I don’t know what kind of performance Williams can perform in the next Western Conference Finals facing a stronger opponent.
