Can t play in the comfort zone, the Warriors powerful pitcher really can t perform better?

In a previous NBA Western Conference semi-finals G4, the Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the Golden State Warriors who played at home 117-110 again. After this game, the Timberwolves widened the total score of the series to 3-1 and won the match point; while the Warriors encountered a huge crisis, it seemed that they were on the verge of being eliminated.

In this game, the Warriors' starting shooting guard Buddy Hield did not show his strongest strength, but his performance actually has certain highlights. Hilder played 34 minutes and 45 seconds in the whole game, made 4 of 11 shots, 2 of 6 from outside the three-point line, and 3 of 4 free throws, and scored 13 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals. He also had 4 turnovers and 3 fouls, with a plus-negative value of -11. Because the team's overall performance was not ideal, Hilder had to take on some tasks that he was not suitable for. He did not get a good opportunity to make a phone call. He lacked basic support from other players, and he had to start attacking with the ball, which directly led to Hilder's offensive efficiency being unsatisfactory. In fact, Hilde also worked very hard on the defensive end, but he could not provide more support to the team in this regard. It seemed a bit difficult on both ends of the offense and defense. Hilder did not play in his comfort zone at all, so he obviously could not perform at his true level.

In the NBA regular season this season, Hilder maintained full attendance in 82 games. During his 22.7 minutes of playing time, Hilder averaged 11.1 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.8 steals, and 0.3 blocks. He also had 1.1 turnovers and 1.6 fouls. His shooting percentage was 41.7%, three-point shooting percentage was 37%, and free throw shooting percentage was 82.8%. In the playoffs, Hilder averaged 27.1 minutes in the first 11 games, with averaging 12.9 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.5 blocks, and 0.8 turnovers and 1.2 fouls. He shot 43.1% from the field, 45.2% from three-point shooting percentage and 90% from free throws.

Although his performance in the second half of the regular season and his status was not found in the last few games of the playoffs, Hilder's performance has actually been quite good in the last few games. His outstanding performance has also helped the team to defend the lower limit. His support to the team on the offensive end is obvious to all. But Hilder is a role player himself, his personal ability is not that outstanding, and he cannot turn the situation around on his own. With Stephen Curry missing and other players who are more paid than him in a mess, it is indeed difficult for Hield to make another breakthrough on the court.
