G6 Thunder deserve to lose? Has Owen been doing well lately? I don't have any desire to attack
Owen was flanked as soon as he entered. The Eurasian style is not as large as the 077, and the near frame cannot be hard solved by the body, so the output cannot go up. And Irving has a lot of points coming from the transition offense, but the Thunder are one of the fastest teams to defend. So you've often seen Irving shoot two shots and start passing. If the Thunder don't change their defensive strategy this round, then don't expect Irving's offensive production, and need role players to step up and grasp the space pulled out by Eastern Europe (Washington, Jones).
The Thunder pinched Eastern Europe, especially in the fourth quarter, focusing on pinching Irving, and then there were more 77 balls, plus when Irving held the ball, he saw the Thunder come up and attack, and directly passed to the role player in the vacant position, so he didn't shoot much. So it's not that there is no desire, it's that the Thunder defense guard is good, don't underestimate the Thunder, it's very good to limit the restrictions in Eastern Europe.
Irving had to throw a high board to get in, and Chet's bounce from sacrificing his weight was easy to beat a small defender. Owen still has experience, don't go to the head, look at the opposite Williams head iron breakthrough, all the way through the cap
But I watched every time Irving handled the ball, I can only say that the live broadcast perception is really deceiving, G5 Irving's offensive desire is actually not bad, the first three quarters of 10 shots 5 is a normal play, the fourth quarter came up with a few balls for the Mavericks to see the difference to 20 points, 77 is still on the court, Irving is too lazy to catch the ball and touch the fish
Later, the Thunder narrowed the difference to 10 points, and Irving became very aggressive, asking for the ball and possessing the ball a lot. As for why he didn't make a shot at the end when he wanted to possess the ball a lot? About three minutes later, the Thunder began to cut benefits, and after the cuts, the benefits were basically grinding time and free throws, and there was no normal offensive time
Therefore, the stage of Irving's play is actually three or four minutes from the close score to the cut. In the past three or four minutes, you can actually look back, Luka took away part of the ball, the Thunder didn't want Irving to hold the ball, so the bag took away part of the ball, and the few remaining offensive times Irving handled it very well
