The second leader of the Thunder has tried his best, but unfortunately the performance of the boss of the team is really too bad?

In the previous NBA Western Conference semi-finals G3, the Denver Nuggets, who returned to their home games, defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder 113-104 after a hard battle in overtime, widening the total score of the series to 2-1, and once again gained the advantage in this round of series.

Although the Thunder lost the game, the team's starting small forward Jalen Williams' performance is impressive. Williams played 43 minutes and 29 seconds in the game, made 11 of 21 shots, 3 of 7 from outside the three-point line, and 7 of 8 free throws. He scored the team's highest score of 32 points plus 3 rebounds and 5 assists, and had 3 turnovers and 1 foul, with a plus-negative value of -11. Williams showed comprehensive scoring ability on the offensive end, and he also proved that he had a big heart. Williams scored 16 points with reliable efficiency in the last quarter of the game, and the Thunder team only scored 19 points. If it weren't for Williams' strong performance, the Thunder would not even have the chance to enter overtime. Unfortunately, the performance of other Thunder players was really bad. The performance of core player Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was a disaster, and Williams' efforts were unable to help the team win.

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 34.9 minutes in the first seven games, with averaging 22.6 points, 5 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.9 blocks, and 1.6 turnovers and 1.6 fouls. He shot 49.2%, three-point shooting percentage 27.5%, and free throw shooting percentage 71.4%.

Williams' performance in some games before the playoffs can only be considered sloppy and not particularly outstanding, and his performance outside the three-point line seemed a bit bad. Compared with the regular season, Williams' performance has more or less declined to a certain extent, and he should have done better on the court. However, in this game, Williams played the strongest battle in the playoffs so far. After all, Williams is just the second leader of the team. If the team wants to win, it has to rely on Alexander's contribution. If Alexander has been unable to show his dominance during the regular season, it is really worrying for the Thunder to have this series.
