The offensive efficiency is poor, the defensive effect is declining, and the Timberwolves backcourt player is constantly dragging the team s back legs

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.

Although the Timberwolves won again in this game, the team's substitute backcourt player Donte DiVincenzo's performance is still not ideal. Divincenzo played 25 minutes and 40 seconds in the game, made 2 of 7 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, and 3 of 4 free throws, scoring 9 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal. He also had 2 turnovers and 4 fouls, with a plus-negative value of -9. Divincenzo's offensive efficiency is still not ideal, and he still cannot play his scoring ability, and he once again dragged the team down. Not only that, Divincenzo's performance in passing and organization was only very average, and he could not connect the team's second team offense. Not only that, Divincenzo also did not show much value on the defensive end. Divincenzo's effect on the court can be said to be very unsatisfactory, and the team's victory has nothing to do with his performance.

In the NBA regular season this season, Divincenzo played a total of 62 games due to injuries in 82 games, averaging 25.9 minutes per game, averaging 11.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 0.3 blocks, and 1.6 turnovers and 1.8 fouls. He shot 42.2%, three-point shooting percentage 39.7%, and free throw shooting percentage 77.8%. In the playoffs, Divincenzo averaged 25.8 minutes in the first nine games, with averaging 7.4 points, 3.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.3 blocks, 2 turnovers and 3.4 fouls, shooting percentage of 30%, three-point shooting percentage of 23.1%, and free throw shooting percentage of 77.8%.

Divinzó's performance in the playoffs has been extremely disappointing. Even though the Timberwolves' record is quite good and the team's situation is very good, the effect on the court can be said to be really bad. Divincenzo's offensive efficiency is really terrible, and he has no touch outside the three-point line. On the defensive end, Divincenzo actually did a pretty good job in the series against the Los Angeles Lakers, but in this round of the series, Divincenzo's performance on the defensive end also showed a significant decline. Divincenzo should be the key figure in the team's second team, but he is completely unable to show his due level. Such a state is really worrying. In the next round of the series, the Timberwolves will face even more severe challenges. Divincenzo's performance will directly affect the team's competitiveness.
