The chain dropped at the critical moment! The Clippers starting point guard was really screwed up in this game?

In a previous NBA Las Vegas summer league game, the Denver Nuggets defeated the Los Angeles Clippers 81-76. After this game, the Nuggets achieved their first victory in the summer league. The record in the summer league increased to 1 win and 3 losses, while the Clippers' record in the summer league fell to 3 win and 1 losses.

In this game, the performance of the Clippers' starting point guard Zavier Simpson can be said to have a significant decline compared with the previous games. Simpson played 19 minutes and 0 of 2 shots, scored 1 point in the game, and contributed only 3 rebounds and 2 assists. He also had two turnovers and 1 foul, and the plus or negative value was also low to the lowest level of -11 in the game. Simpson did not show his due scoring ability on the offensive end at all, and he didn't even score 1 point. Not only that, he did not show his due passing ability and organizational ability. His performance on the offensive end has indeed seriously dragged the team down. In addition, his performance on the defensive end is also not ideal, and he has not shown his value on the defensive end. Neither offense nor defense played the role that should have played. Simpson's situation on the court was also a mess, which was also an important factor in the Clippers' final loss of this game.

Summer League so far, Simpson has averaged 24.7 minutes in the first four games, with averaging 8.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.2 blocks, and 2.8 turnovers and 3.2 fouls. He has 48% shooting percentage, 37.5% from three-point shooting percentage and 60% from free throw percentage. Simpson performed quite well in the first three games. He was able to get a certain score on the offensive end and maintain a stable offensive efficiency with few shots. He also has some passing and organizational skills, and his performance on the defensive end is also remarkable. It is also because of this that Simpson's performance has attracted everyone's attention. If his performance can be maintained at such an extremely high level, he may also get a training camp contract from the Clippers.

However, in such a critical game, Simpson played the worst game in the summer league so far, and was unable to show his value on both offense and defense, which seemed a bit worrying. Simpson is a player with NBA experience and has played in the NBA Development League for many seasons. He should have shown higher stability and stronger competitiveness on the court. As a result, he completely lost the chain in this game under this situation. I don't know if the poor performance in this game will affect Simpson's acquisition of a training camp contract from the Clippers.
