Have you been lazy? The former Cavaliers and Spurs wingers performed poorly in two consecutive European Championship games?

In the previous group stage of the Men's Basketball European Championship, Turkey defeated Estonia 84-64. After this game, Turkey won four consecutive victories and continued to top the group; while Estonia's record dropped to 1 win and 3 losses, and the team's prospects for qualifying were also confusing.

In this game, the performance of Turkey's starting wing star Cedi Osman can only be considered to be moderate. Ottoman played 24 minutes and 08 seconds in the game, made 3 of 8 shots, 2 of 5 shots from outside the three-point line, and 3 of 4 free throws, and scored 11 points and 4 rebounds. He also had 2 turnovers and 3 fouls, with a plus-negative value of +12. Ottoman's offensive feel is not ideal, his scoring ability is not fully utilized, his performance in passing and supporting is also average, and he has not shown his due strength. Ottoman's performance on the defensive end can only be considered a careless performance and has no particularly outstanding contribution. Overall, Ottoman's performance can only be considered as average. With his experience and his ability, he should have shown stronger competitiveness and played a more important role in such a game. Since the start of the European Championship, Ottoman has averaged 25.6 minutes in the first four games, with averaging 15.3 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 0.5 steals, 1.5 turnovers and 2.5 fouls, shooting percentage of 51.4%, three-point shooting percentage of 50%, free throw percentage of 70%, and averaging plus-minus value of +14.8. Ottoman performed quite well in the first two games of the group stage, winning 20+ points with stable efficiency, providing a lot of help and support to the team on the offensive end. However, in the next two games, Ottoman's presence on the court dropped significantly. The performance ranged from high to low, and the strength of the Turkish opponents in these two games was very average, which is obviously not a good signal.

Ottoman was born in April 1995. He is 30 years old, 201cm tall and weighs 104kg. He is the wing player selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 31st pick in the second round in the 2015 NBA Draft. Ottoman's performance in the NBA arena is actually quite good. He has always been an important rotation player for the team in the Cavaliers, and his role in the offensive end is also very outstanding. Ottoman has played for the San Antonio Spurs since then, and his overall performance is also good. It was just because of his age that Ottoman had no way to get a contract from an NBA team last summer and had to return to the European arena. Ottoman's personal abilities should be quite good, and he should also be a top star in the European arena. So we don’t know what happened in these two games. Did Ottoman just slacked off because of his average opponent’s strength?
