On December 16, Beijing time, the NBA regular season, the Lakers beat the Lone Ranger 107-104 in overtime, winning 3 consecutive wins and continuing to consolidate the 6th place in the West. James got 24 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists, a decent performance, thick eyebrows got a double-double data of 20 points and 12 rebounds, and Wei Shao cut down a quasi-triple-double of 23 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists, three-pointers at key moments, and assists to help the Lakers pass the thrill.
As the opening of the NBA player trading door approached, rumors about Westbrook's trade began to circulate, and the most authoritative media people also broke the news that the Lakers wanted to exchange Westbrook for Simmons of the 76ers, who had seen the least recent performance, especially the play of this game, and believed that the trading rumors could be terminated. The Lakers have a poor record this season, and they are bound to want to strengthen it, but It is impossible for Wei Shao to become a trading chip, and during this time period, it is difficult to find a reciprocal transaction, not to mention, it is difficult to run out of the lineup, and it is necessary to do it again, and the Lakers can't afford big fluctuations.
The main reason why the Lakers' trading rumors revolve around Wei Shao is that Wei Shao is a star who only joined the Lakers this season, James and the partner of thick eyebrows have won the championship, and Wei Shao has naturally become the back pot man with the team's poor record. Secondly, at the beginning of the season, when the Lakers lost, there was indeed a problem of incompatibility between thick eyebrows and Wei Shao, and the thick eyebrows were once unwilling to give Wei Shao a pass, so that Wei Shao could not find his own positioning, whether to pass the ball, or to attack himself is always not good, this is also the Wei Shao lost himself, can not play his own characteristics.
Through the run-in of so many games, Wei Shao and Thick Brow have gained mutual trust, more and more cooperation, when the big three are on the field, Wei Shao holds the ball the most, which is also the reason why the Lake people choose him, that is, to reduce the pressure of James's ball holding, at this time, Wei Shao, the role of the organization is more, wait until the thick eyebrows, James off the field, Wei Shao with a group of role players on the field, you can change the role, open the offensive mode, on the one hand, you can break through the score, on the other hand, you can also break through the score, on the other hand, you can also break through when there is no chance, Pass the ball to teammates who have an opportunity to open a position. At the beginning, after Harden and Durant left the Thunder, it was Wei Shao who took a bunch of little brothers of the Thunder team to the playoffs, and he also had a triple-double in the season, and won the MVP, Wei Shao and the superstar had compatibility problems, and the role player was definitely a good hand. At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers played with role players, and the effect was very ideal.
However, a team with championship-winning strength, only one Westbrook is still not enough, it needs a super giant like James to take the lead. James knows what kind of star is suitable for him and can help the team win, he is like Liu Bang, he is a handsome talent, he can lead the general, Wei Shao is like Han Xin, he is a general, the more role players around him, the better, he can take over the game with role players and release himself. In order to stay in the Lakers, Wei Shao still pays a lot, not only to serve James, thick eyebrows, but also to bring good bench players, it is really too difficult!
