One god is one game and one game! The second leader of the Thunder is too unstable in the playoffs, right?

In the previous NBA Western Conference semi-finals G4, the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Denver Nuggets who played at home 92-87 after a hard battle. After this game, the Thunder tied the total score of the series to 2-2, and both sides returned to the same starting line. Moreover, the Thunder also regained their home advantage after this game and regained the initiative in the series.

In this game, the performance of the Thunder's starting small forward Jalen Wiliams fell to the bottom again. Williams played 33 minutes and 10 seconds in the game, made 2 of 13 shots, 0 of 5 from outside the three-point line, and 6 of 6 free throws, and scored 10 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 1 block. He also had 1 turnover and 2 fouls, with a plus-minus value of -3. Williams once again had no feel on the offensive end, and his scoring ability was not reflected at all. He also wasted a lot of ball rights and mobile phone opportunities. Williams has shown some characteristics in passing and organizing offense, and his performance on the defensive end is also worthy of recognition, but his negative impact on the team on the offensive end is indeed quite obvious. After all, Williams is the team's No. 2 star. His performance is indeed a little worse. He should take on more responsibilities and provide more support to the team on the offensive end.

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 34.6 minutes in the first eight games, with averaging 21 points, 4.8 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.9 blocks, and 1.5 turnovers and 1.6 fouls. He shot 46%, three-point shooting percentage 24.4%, and free throw shooting percentage 75.6%.

Williams' stability during the playoffs is indeed not ideal. His offensive efficiency cannot be maintained at a high level, and his scoring ability is not fully displayed. He can score 30+ in a single game, and can also perform at a disaster-level like in this game. Williams' personal ability is indeed a little mediocre, and his performance on the offensive end is indeed unable to fully meet everyone's expectations for him. For Williams, he should have the ability to play a more important role, but he obviously didn't do that. In the next game, can Williams improve his form and perform at a higher level?
