Playing beautiful balls in 36 minutes only 3 minutes, Jewe made 6 of 19 shots and became the key to losing. After the game, he vowed: I will still shoot relentlessly

On June 6, the war of the NBA Finals ignited, and the Thunder and the Pacers staged a thrilling showdown. However, the Thunder were eventually reversed by the Pacers with a score of 110-111 and fell behind 0-1. In this focus battle, Jewei's performance undoubtedly became the focus of hot discussion among fans.

In the first three quarters, Jewe felt cold and hit only 3 goals in 12 shots. Although he showed signs of recovery within three minutes of the final quarter, he quickly fell into silence. After the game, he made 6 goals in 19 attempts and made only 1 of 4 three-pointers. More importantly, at the last moment of the game, he missed two crucial offensive opportunities and eventually became the "sinner" of the team's defeat. After the first half of the game, criticisms about Jewe were heard one after another on social media. The "Second Young Master" combination he and Homgren were even criticized. Even Slip Bayless, the "golden James" known for his sharpness, couldn't help but write: "Jewe, it's time to cheer up!"

Looking back on the entire first half, Jaewe's performance was indeed unsatisfactory. He made 1 of 4 shots in the first quarter and 1 of 3 shots in the second quarter. He made only 2 of 7 shots in the first half, 1 of 2 three-pointers, scored only 7 points, 4 assists and 2 rebounds, and his shooting percentage was only 28.6%. Entering the third quarter, his form still did not improve. He made 1 of 5 shots in a single quarter and 0 of 1 three-pointer, scoring only 2 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist. After the third quarter, he made 3 of 12 shots and 0 of 3 three-pointers, scoring only 9 points. At this time, some media have begun to mock him, questioning whether he is still the true self.

However, in the final quarter, Jewe seemed to have found his rhythm. When SGA was resting, he scored 6 points in just three minutes, helping the Thunder to achieve a 9-3 climax and successfully widen the score gap. His scoring also quickly entered double digits, allowing fans to see hope for his recovery. However, the Pacers quickly responded to a 15-4 offensive, bringing the score closer. At the critical moment, Jewe made a foul and made both free throws (his playoff free throw percentage was as high as 77.1%), but unfortunately, he was once again awkward in the decisive moment. In the first 2 minutes, 16 seconds and 24 seconds of the final game, his three-point shots and mid-range shots were lost one after another. These two misses directly caused the Pacers to narrow the score gap to 3 points and 1 point. In the end, SGA missed a fallback jump shot, Halliburton completed a quasi-final kill in 0.3 seconds, and the Thunder lost regretfully.

After the whole game, Jewe played for 36 minutes, made 6 19 shots, made 1 of 4 three-pointers, scored 17 points, 6 assists, 4 rebounds and 1 steal, with a shooting percentage of only 31.6%, a three-point shooting percentage of 25%, a real shooting percentage of 40.9%, and a plus-minus value of -4. Although this season is a career year for Jewe, his rookie was selected into the All-Star, Best Team, Best Defensive Team in his third season and reached the finals, becoming the second person in history compared to Bill Walton, who was in the 1976-77 season, this loss may become a shackle on his way forward. After the game, Jewey faced his bad performance calmly: "To a large extent, this is just a process of whether the shots are good or bad. In my career, I have always taken this way. The playoffs are about not being afraid of shooting, and I think it is the most important thing to not being afraid of shooting. I maintain confidence in every game."
