Scoring 15 points in 13 minutes, the Timberwolves substitute rookie is actually an excellent scorer?

In a previous NBA regular season game, the Minnesota Timberwolves, who returned to their home games, easily defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder 143-101. After this game, the Timberwolves also chased the total score of the series to 1-2, and it seems that this round of series still has a lot of suspense.

In this game, the Timberwolves' substitute backcourt rookie Terrence Shannon Jr. had a rare opportunity to enter the rotation lineup, and he also proved his worth with his outstanding performance. Shannon played 13 minutes and 12 seconds in the game, made 5 of 8 shots, 1 of 3 from outside the three-point line, and 4 of 4 free throws, scoring 15 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal. He also had 2 fouls, with a plus-negative value of +11. Shannon defeated all sides on the offensive end. He showed comprehensive scoring ability. His breakthrough and finishing ability are quite outstanding. He also has certain medium and long-distance shooting ability. He is simply unstoppable on the offensive end. Shannon also maintained good competitiveness on the defensive end and was also a reliable defender. Overall, Shannon has played his own characteristics on both offense and defense, and his series of outstanding performances on the court have also made considerable contributions to the team's big victory.

In the NBA regular season this season, Shannon played 32 games in 82 games, averaging 10.6 minutes per game, averaging 4.3 points, 1.5 rebounds, 1 assist, 0.2 steals, and 0.2 blocks, and 0.5 turnovers and 0.8 fouls. His shooting percentage was 48.2%, a three-point shooting percentage of 35.5%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 81%. In the playoffs, Shannon played 7 games in the first 13 games, averaging 4.9 minutes per game, averaging 3 points, 1 rebound, 0.4 assists and 0.4 steals, and 0.6 fouls, shooting percentage of 50%, three-point shooting percentage of 33.3%, and free throw shooting percentage of 100%.

In fact, Shannon had almost no playing time in the games before the playoffs, and therefore, his performance lacked enough highlights. The Timberwolves basically adopted the 8-man rotation strategy before, and they also showed strong dominance in the previous two rounds of the series, so they had no intention of adjusting the lineup. As a result, in this round of series, it may be because several substitutes performed poorly in the previous two games that Shannon got some opportunities to play. As a result, Shannon had such an outstanding performance in this game, which would also make everyone have more expectations for his performance in the next game. Perhaps in the next game, the Timberwolves can also consider increasing the number of players in the rotation lineup and allowing Shannon to get more playing time. This arrangement may also have a good effect.
