The key game has dropped the chain! The Rockets backcourt s performance during the African Cup was very mediocre?

In the previous quarter-finals of the men's basketball team in Africa, Senegal defeated Nigeria 91-75. After this game, Senegal successfully advanced to the semi-finals, and they will compete with Mali for a place in the finals; while Nigeria was eliminated after this game.

In this game, Nigeria's starting and backcourt star Josh Okogie's performance can be said to be terrible. Okogi played 25 minutes and 14 seconds in the game, made 2 of 10 shots and 0 of 2 from outside the three-point line, only scored 4 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal. He also had 2 turnovers and 3 fouls, and the plus and negative value was also low to -17. Okogi is not efficient on the offensive end, and he actually has a lot of ball rights, but his scoring ability is seriously insufficient, his offensive efficiency is very poor, he has no sense of outside shooting, and he has not played the role he deserves in passing and organization. Not only that, as a defensive vanguard, Okogi's performance on the defensive end is also not ideal, and he also did not play his role on the defensive end. As an experienced NBA player, Okogi's performance on both offense and defense was very disappointing, which largely led to the team's final defeat.

During this African Cup, Okogi made a total of 4 appearances, averaging 24.9 minutes per game, with averaging 14.5 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 1.3 steals, 0.5 blocks, 3 turnovers and 1.5 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 48.9%, a three-point shooting percentage of 26.7%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 90.9%, with a plus-minus value per game of +8.3. Okogi's performance in these games can be said to be extremely unstable. He performed very well in the group stage against Tunisia, scoring 33 points in a crazy way, but in the other three games, he only scored 25 points in total, which can be said to be a huge gap. Okogi's performance in these games was really unstable and did not play the role that the leader should play. Moreover, in such a game that determines life and death, he completely lost the chain, which was really shocking.

Okoji was born in September 1998 and is 26 years old, 193cm tall and weighed 96kg. He was the winger selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the 20th pick in the first round in the 2018 NBA Draft. In the NBA, Okogie has played for the Minnesota Timberwolves, Phoenix Suns and the Charlotte Hornets. This summer, Okogie completed the signing with the Houston Rockets, and he will also wear the Rockets' jersey in the new season. However, Okogi's performance during the African Cup this summer was very disappointing, and neither of them showed high competitiveness on both sides of the offense and defense. I wonder what Rockets fans feel after watching Okoji's performance. It seems that his abilities are not as outstanding as everyone imagined?
