Somewhat goes crazy! The Thunder Wings are in a terrible state throughout the playoffs?

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.

In this game, the Thunder's starting shooting guard Luguentz Dort was not ideal. Dort played 33 minutes and 55 seconds in the game, 1 of 6 shots, 0 of 4 from outside the three-point line, and 1 of 2 free throws, scoring 3 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block, including 3 frontcourt rebounds, 1 turnover and 6 fouls, with a plus-minus value of -7. Dort's performance on both offense and defense is actually quite average. His offensive efficiency is not ideal. He has no touch outside the three-point line, and he has no other contributions. His performance on the offense is not ideal. Dort's performance on the defensive end is not particularly outstanding, and he has not shown enough defensive ability. Dort's performance on both offense and defense was very disappointing, which also led to the team's defeat to a certain extent. With Dort's ability and the role he plays on the team, he should have taken on the court more responsibility, but he didn't do that.

In the NBA regular season this season, Dort played 71 games in 82 games, averaging 29.2 minutes per game, averaging 10.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.5 blocks, and 0.7 turnovers and 2.9 fouls. He shot 43.5%, three-point shooting percentage 41.2%, and free throw shooting percentage 71.7%. So far in the playoffs, Dort has averaged 29.7 minutes in his first seven games, with averaging 7.9 points, 3.9 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 0.9 steals, and 0.7 blocks. He also has 0.6 turnovers and 3.6 fouls. His shooting percentage is 31.5%, his three-point shooting percentage is 26.7%, and his free throw shooting percentage is 75%.

Dolt performed quite well during the regular season. He not only performed well on the defensive end, but was a reliable defender. His performance on the offensive end was also remarkable. His outside shooting stability far exceeded everyone's expectations. However, in the playoffs, Dort's performance on the offensive end was simply terrible. His scoring ability was a mess and he struggled very much on the offensive end. Dort is indeed positive on the defensive end and even often uses some big moves, but he seems to lack sufficient defensive focus, or he seems to have put too much energy on fighting against his opponents. Dort should have focused more on the game itself, but now he seems to be a bit obsessed with it.
