On December 4, in the just-concluded NBA regular season, the Lakers faced the Clippers in the same-city derby. The Clippers narrowly beat the Lakers 119-115, ending their previous three-game losing streak and eventually winning the game. The Clippers' Morris and Kennard played well, contributing 11 three-pointers to kill the game. On the Lakers side, James came back with 23 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists, Davis scored 27 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists, and Wei Shao scored 10 points, 2 boards and 9 assists. The Big Three played decently in this game, or regrettably lost the game.
Wisbrook had just eight shots in the game, hitting four of 4, including 2-of-2 three-pointers. Compared with the previous games, Wei Shao's performance has dropped a lot from the data point of view. Therefore, after the game, it also caused dissatisfaction among the fans, who felt that Wei Shao should play aggressive, and the 8 shots obviously did not satisfy the fans. Some fans even believe that James's comeback has affected the continuation of Westbrook's fiery state, and Westbrook has no ball rights, so the ball seems extremely hesitant to handle. Nor could he fight an attack that should have been his own.
Previously, former NBA star Perkins supported the Lakers on the show, arguing that Westbrook should stand up for the team at a critical moment in the game, rather than blindly handing the ball over to James. The blocking and dismantling cooperation between Westbrook and Davis is more threatening. The comeback of Zhan Huang in this game should have brought better chemistry to the team, but the reality was that Wei Shao stood on the cusp of the storm. Foreign netizens also accused Wei Shao after the game: You are like a coward.
The Lakers' performance this season can be described as hurting the hearts of fans, in the face of the league, whether it is right or strong, the current Lakers seem to be five or five, facing the Thunder, who have just been slaughtered by 73 points, this season has been double-killed by such a team. This game lost to the Clippers in the same city, to know that the Clippers now only have Paul George single core team, such a loss is even more impatient for fans. It seems that the Lakers are getting farther and farther away from their goals this season!
