Yes, Westbrook was urgently quarantined for triggering the league's health and safety agreement, and he will miss the next away games against the Timberwolves and Bulls because he didn't go with the team at all. According to the league's investigation, it turned out that after Reeves killed the Lone Ranger team yesterday, Westbrook and Bradley actually went to the bar to celebrate, and the whole place did not wear a mask, it seems that Westbrook is most likely diagnosed.
Coupled with the absences of Westbrook and Bradley, the Lakers have been suspended as many as five, which is only a loss better than the Nets. However, the Lakers have responded very quickly, and they have reached a 10-day franchise agreement with Thomas Jr., which is more than enough for an eight-person game. However, if this momentum continues, the alliance will most likely be shut down again.
The suspension doesn't look like bad news for Westbrook and the Lakers. Because first of all, the Lakers quietly won three consecutive wins, the 33-year-old Wei Shao needs to rest at the right time or even take a break, this is just an away trip, the boat car is not needless to say, with Wei Shao's personality is certainly embarrassed to say, now triggered the safety agreement is just a good time to rest.
The Timberwolves are not a strong team, the Downs and Edwards duo looks very strong and beautiful, but they are actually just that, the data exchanged for a lot of shots is not worth mentioning, and their defense is very bad. The only thing the Lakers need to pay attention to is Russell, without Westbrook's alignment, Russell is likely to explode; in addition, Russell's defensive ability has improved by leaps and bounds, and he is likely to be overwhelmed by the Lakers who are expected to enter the best defensive three teams.
In the end, Westbrook's absence from the game made the Lakers gain a major benefit, because the Timberwolves' Beverley has always been Westbrook's nightmare, he once caused Westbrook season reimbursement in a defense, Westbrook hated Beverley to the bone, the two sides have hardly stopped fighting in recent years, Westbrook satirized Beverley wanted to break his face, Beverley satirized Thatvelli was a loser, in short, the two sides met with anger.
The Lakers with the suspension of Wei Shao is really a blessing in disguise, one is to reasonably protect Wei Shao, let him get more rest time, but also to avoid the confrontation with Beverly; second, to sign Thomas Jr. also let the Lakers get an important chip to win the championship, the king of the last quarter can still contribute their residual heat for the Lakers, adding weight to James's victory, it can be said that the Lakers have gained important surprises, fast and fast.
