4 of 8 three-pointers, Doncic didn't give the ball at all, and after leaving Curry, Thompson played really aggrieved

Although this season's Mavericks welcomed Klay Thompson, and although Thompson also entered the starting lineup, Thompson has made very few shots in the game. He's averaging fewer shots per game this season than he did with the Warriors last season.

For example, in today's game against the Pacers, although he had a very good hand, shooting 4 of 8 from beyond the three-point line, he didn't get many shots in the fourth quarter. He only took two shots in the whole quarter, and it was a complete switchback run on the court. Most of the ball is in the hands of Doncic and Irving, and Doncic doesn't pass the ball after getting the ball, so this leads to Thompson's role on the offensive end of the court completely unreflected. And the team will not set up some offensive tactics for Thompson, so Thompson's current presence on the offensive end is very low.

After leaving Curry, Thompson was really a little aggrieved. Because a player of Thompson's type needs to have a lot of ball supply. If he doesn't get enough of the ball, he won't be able to play beyond the three-point line. In fact, if the Mavericks set some tactics for Thompson to shoot at the halftime of the final quarter today, it might have a better effect.

Thompson was undoubtedly at the heart of the game when he was with the Warriors, and even when he appeared with Curry, he enjoyed almost the same offensive treatment as Curry. And when Curry is on the court, he will also focus on finding Thompson's opportunities to pass the ball to Thompson. As long as Thompson can't get the ball on a few rounds, Curry will find a way to find Thompson. However, in the Mavericks, Thompson often failed to touch the ball in the first quarter, and in the last game, Thompson did not take a single shot in the first quarter, and played 6 minutes on the court and completely switched back and forth.

It can be said that the Mavericks team is a team dominated by Doncic alone, which can be described as Doncic in success and Doncic in defeat. If Doncic can play an explosive performance, he can indeed affect the Mavericks' overall offense and help the Mavericks win. But if Doncic doesn't feel good, then it will be difficult for the Mavericks to win a game, because Doncic is a defensive weakness on the court, and opponents will target Doncic. Doncic had a lot of defensive mistakes on the court today, and a lot of players played with a lot of confidence in the face of his defense.

Maybe it took a season with the Mavericks for Thompson to appreciate how happy he was with the Warriors. Maybe Thompson will have the idea of returning to the Warriors after his contract ends? You may only know how to cherish it after you lose it.
