3 out of 11, ignore the thick eyebrows! Russell s "unreasonable" style of play, no wonder Kidd doesn t reuse him

Text/Shui Qingqing

On October 27, in the first half when the Mavericks trailed the Raptors 64-66, Russell contributed 13 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals. The data was quite good. However, he only made 3 of 11 shots, especially the unreasonable style of play that ignored the thick eyebrows, which made Kidd afraid to reuse him.

Russell had 13 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals at halftime.

With Irving absent, Flagg, as a rookie, is not yet able to serve as the brains. Logically speaking, Kidd should let Russell play the main role, but he can only serve as a substitute. The reason for this is that he has not been in good form since the beginning of the season and his style of play is also unreasonable.

Russell missed the empty layup.

A wonderful pass from thick eyebrows, but Russell missed the empty layup.

Russell passed Quickley before he scored 2+1

, and the 2+1 that should have been scored failed to end.

What's even worse is that Thick Eyebrow is on the court and has an absolute inside advantage, but Russell chooses to ignore it. For example:

Russell chases for a three-pointer.

After Russell steals the ball, Thick Eyebrow has already pulled up to follow up, but he simply ignores the hard running of the big center and directly throws a chasing three-pointer.

Russell made two three-pointers in a row, and his thick eyebrows were very angry.

In the left corner, after Russell hit the first three-pointer, he took the offensive rebound and threw the second three-pointer, and then hit the iron again. After the thick eyebrow caused a foul, he dunked on the spot, which is enough to prove how dissatisfied he is with Russell's offensive choices.

Russell's buzzer-beating three-pointer

Russell failed to hit any of his first 7 shots. It was not until the end of the second quarter that he hit his first buzzer-beating three-pointer and gradually found the feeling.

At this point, it is not difficult to understand that the team's back line is seriously lacking. Why Kidd did not let Russell start, because in addition to his poor condition, sometimes his playing style is unreasonable. The disregard of thick eyebrows in the first half today is a real example.
