On December 17, Beijing time, when the Lakers' performance this season was struggling, there was considerable criticism of Wei Shao. Now Lakers legend O'Neill has publicly stated in The Big Podcast show that he believes that the problem is not in Wei Shao, but in the thick eyebrow brother, indicating that the responsibility and performance of the thick eyebrow brother are unsatisfactory.
When the Lakers won the championship in 2020 after 10 years, and 2021 was the first round of the playoffs, it was naturally an unsatisfactory performance. The Lakers traded this summer to form the big three with Westbrook, and also recruited a number of veterans to join, which makes people look forward to the Lakers' performance this season.
The fact is that the Lakers are playing quite hard, and the constant injuries and many people are isolated now, so that the Lakers have never been able to assemble a complete lineup.
In this regard, O'Neill bluntly talked about the Lakers' problem in the show, he defended Wei Shao, arguing that the responsibility is not on Wei Shao, "The responsibility is not on Wei Shao, who is the core duo of the team? Last week we saw James play a good performance, but I didn't see a good performance of the thick eyebrow brother, and that's the problem with the Lakers. If you want to be a good duo, you shouldn't let the older player do everything. ”
O'Neal further criticized The Thick-Browed Brother, "Thick-Browed Philadelphia has talent, but he's only shot 19 percent from three-point range this season (actually only 18.2 percent), and James won the Western Conference's Best honor, so Mr. Thick-Browed, what the hell are you doing?" I haven't heard anyone mention the name of Brother Thick-Browed all year. If you want to form a good duo, you need to make sure that you are constantly improving and improving. ”
Although this season's thick eyebrow brother averaged 23.8 points, 10.2 rebounds, 3 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.1 blocks per game, it seems that the data is quite good, but his defensive deterrent has dropped sharply, while the outside three-point shooting is only 18.2%, and his dominance on the court is far less than it used to become a huge hidden danger for him.
