Always maintain an extremely high level! The personal abilities of the Thunder s backcourt star are actually quite good?

In the previous NBA Western Conference semi-finals G5, the Oklahoma City Thunder played at home and made a strong effort in the final quarter, defeating the Denver Nuggets 112-105, winning this key battle at Kings Mountain. After this game, the Thunder widened the total score of this series to 3-2, not only gaining the advantage but also getting the match point; while the Nuggets will face a desperate battle in the series G6.

In this game, the performance of the Thunder's substitute backcourt star Cason Wallace is still worthy of recognition. Wallace played 17 minutes and 44 seconds in the game, made 1 of 2 shots, 0 of 1 from outside the three-point line, 2 of 3 free throws, scored 4 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals, and there was 1 turnover and 1 foul, with a plus-minus value of +2. Wallace does not have enough ball rights and shots on the offensive end, and his performance also lacks highlights. However, on the defensive end, Wallace's performance was definitely quite outstanding. He showed his strong personal defensive ability, but he still maintained a high defensive intensity and concentration. Wallace's performance and condition in this game were not particularly outstanding, but he did not play randomly. He played his role well, and his outstanding defensive ability provided a lot of support for the team's key victory.

In the NBA regular season this season, Wallace played a total of 68 games in 82 games, averaging 27.6 minutes per game, averaging 8.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 0.5 blocks, 0.9 turnovers and 2.1 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 47.4%, a three-point shooting percentage of 35.6%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 81.1%. In the playoffs, Wallace averaged 19.4 minutes in the first nine games, with averaging 4.9 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.2 steals, and 0.2 blocks, 0.7 turnovers and 2.4 fouls, shooting percentage of 45.9%, three-point shooting percentage of 38.9%, and free throw shooting percentage of 60%.

Wallace's performance in the regular season was outstanding. Not only was his offensive efficiency stable and his scoring ability good, but his performance on the defensive end was also obvious to all. However, during the playoffs, his playing time decreased significantly, and his tactical status was relatively limited, which also led to his unsatisfactory data. But we can also intuitively feel that Wallace's condition is also improving as the schedule deepens. The most important thing is that a second-year freshman like Wallace seems fearless on the defensive end, and his defensive effect is obvious to all. If Wallace can gain more trust and more stable playing time in the next game, his performance can also be further improved under the current circumstances.
