The NBA regular season continued, and today Klay Thompson ushered in the Mavericks' debut, and finally he played 26 minutes, shooting 7 of 13 from the field, 6 of 10 from beyond the three-point line, with 22 points, 7 rebounds and 3 steals, playing a perfect performance on both offensive and defensive ends. In this game, because of Thompson's excellent outside play, the Mavericks' overall offense was very smooth. Doncic didn't have to do it on the offensive end today.

After today's game, Mavericks star Doncic spoke about his teammate Thompson. He bluntly said that Thompson was simply brilliant, hitting so many shots tonight, moving very well, and contributing well on the defensive end, and he was very happy that Thompson was joining the Mavericks. And he thinks he's made his job easier and made the game easier.

Indeed, when a team has such a top-notch pitcher of all time, when he is able to find his shooting touch on the court, the game does get very simple. We can find the answer to this from the Warriors at their peak. Thompson still holds one of his all-time records, which is 37 points in a single quarter, and he is 100 percent shooting. I still remember that game was the game against the Kings in 2015, and the two sides were very anxious at first, but Thompson's outburst made the game completely suspenseless, and he scored 37 points on 13-of-13 shooting in a single quarter and 9-of-9 from beyond the three-point line, turning the game into garbage time.

So when Thompson is fully exploding on the court, he has the ability to take the game away. Although Thompson does not have the ability to score 37 points in a single quarter as before, he can also hit consecutive three-pointers. And in a team like the Mavericks, Doncic and Irving are very good at creating open shooting opportunities for their teammates, and the Mavericks can rely on Thompson to hit two or three three-pointers in quick succession to quickly build a lead, and he can really make the game very simple.

There are only a handful of people in the league today who have this ability, and if it weren't for the top pitchers, they wouldn't have it. Curry can have that ability, and Thompson can have that ability right now, and their scoring explosiveness is among the best in history, and it's the top shooter in history. So let's not ignore these historically tested shooters at any time, even though Thompson is now in the twilight of his career, but he still can't be ignored in terms of shooting, as long as he gives him an open opportunity, he can let the opponent be punished. So we are very optimistic about Thompson's future prospects with the Mavericks, and if the Mavericks can complete the championship, then Thompson will really have to wear a ring on one hand.
