The champion shooter fell into a trough, and he became more and more lost in the Mavericks after leaving the Warriors! Where did Tang Shen go in the past?

The outside world was relatively optimistic about the Dallas Mavericks before the season. Even if Irving was absent due to injury, they were still regarded as one of the most competitive teams in the Western Conference. However, surprisingly, the Mavericks have suffered two consecutive losses. Among them, veteran Klay Thompson's performance was surprising. Data showed that his points, assists, and three-point shooting percentage all declined, and even many of his statistics hit career lows. Such performance is indeed unsatisfactory.

During his peak years with the Warriors, he changed the game countless times with precise outside shooting. After leaving the Warriors where he had played for many years last season, he chose to join the Mavericks, hoping to reinvent himself in a new environment. But reality is often crueler than ideals. Last season, Doncic and Irving were both players who needed to hold the ball a lot, and Thompson's ability without the ball turned out to be "useless". It is difficult for him to integrate into the tactical system, and his playing style also seems a bit out of place.

When Irving was retired for the season, the Mavericks gave Thompson more ball rights, hoping that he could step up and bear the firepower. But the reality is that he has almost no initiative on the offensive end. In the new season, Thompson still failed to recover. The young No. 1 pick Flagg rose rapidly. Davis took on more tasks in the paint. Thompson's presence on the court became less and less.

His performance in the two games of the new season was even a bit disastrous. He averaged 9 points and 3 rebounds per game, and his three-point shooting percentage was only 18.2%. It is indeed incredible for a former member of the Splash Brothers. In fact, his data has declined since joining the Mavericks last season. It has to be said that Thompson's success in the Warriors is inseparable from Cole's system. Now that he is in the Mavericks, there are neither tactics tailored for him nor teammates who can attract firepower for him. His shortcomings have been completely exposed. Coupled with the decrease in movement speed after serious injuries and the frequent loss of position on the defensive end, Thompson's influence is far less than it was back then.
