Not as good as Turner? Chett made only 13 points and 5 mistakes in the past two games, and he scored in three finals without even doubles

In the finals, Alexander and Jaylen Williams, the two Thunder core players, performed well. Among them, Alexander averaged 30.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 2.0 steals, 1.5 blocks per game, and Jay Wei averaged 24.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.7 assists per game.
It is worth mentioning that only Alexander and Jewehweh scored more than 20 points for all the players participating in the finals, while no player in the Pacers averaged more than 20 points per game, and only Siakam was close.
As we all know, the Thunder reached the finals in 2012 under the leadership of the Thunder Third Young Master, and this season also reached the finals under the leadership of the three new Thunder Third Young Masters, Alexander, Jewway and Homgren. However, in the finals, Homgren's performance was not strong enough to be comparable to Alexander and Jewish.
Homegren's overall performance in the playoffs this season is still very good, and he can contribute 15 points, 8.7 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game, and his score is second only to Alexander and Jewish. However, in the finals, Homegren averaged only 11.3 points, 9.0 rebounds and 1.0 blocks per game, shooting percentage of 35%, and three-point shooting percentage of only 12%.
Homgren's performance is not only incomparable to Siakam, the Pacers' inside core, but it is also not much better than Turner. Turner averaged 11.3 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.7 blocks in the finals, scoring as many points as Homegren and blocking more than Homegren. Moreover, Turner has always played with illness in the finals, so his efficiency has been greatly affected, otherwise the average score per game would be higher.
Homegren did not perform well in every finals. He performed well in the second, third and fourth games, scoring all in double-digit points, and two more games. But in the other three games, Homegren scored in single digits. It is understandable that Homegren's poor performance in the first game is because he played in the finals for the first time. However, in the last two games, Homegren has only 6 of 24 shots, including 1 of 6 three-pointers, and only scored 13 points in total. Although he also scored 17 rebounds, he did not have an assist and made 5 mistakes.
Fortunately, in the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, Jewish and Alexander won 40+ and 30+ respectively, so even if Homgren did not perform well, the Thunder won. However, in the sixth game of the finals, Homegren dragged the Thunder. Of course, the Thunder suffered a crushing defeat in Game 6, and it was not just a problem for Homegren.
Now the Thunder is dragged into the tiebreak by the Pacers and will fight the Pacers to a life-and-death battle. If the Thunder wants to win the first championship in the team history, Alexander and Jewish's performance is very important, but Homegren is also very important. If he can rebound strongly in the tiebreak battle, then the Thunder will have great hope of winning the championship.
