The Los Angeles Lakers have won three straight games and temporarily secured a sixth place in the West, which undoubtedly makes some people breathe a sigh of relief. Seeing this, there are probably a lot of fans who think I'm talking about Russell Westbrook. Winning can hide a lot of problems, but the Lakers' problems may not be with Russell Westbrook. You can say that his performance can't match his value, but this fact that no one can change, as well as Westbrook, is as integrated into the team as possible.
To be honest, Westbrook doesn't have much to blame, as long as he plays, he will go all out, averaging 19.6 points, 7.8 rebounds and 8.4 assists so far this season. Of course, some people will certainly talk about the efficiency of Wei Shao.
In fact, russell Westbrook this season, shooting efficiency is not so good, but not so bad. 45.1% shooting percentage, the level of the upper middle of the league, 32.2% of the three-point shooting rate, is also the middle of the league, the real shooting rate and effective shooting rate, are about 200 in the league, the midstream level. Everyone knows that Westbrook is not an efficient scorer, so don't ask him to be a super scorer. After all, in the field where Wei Shao is good at, he has done a good job.
36.2% assist rate, high in the league sixth, the number of rounds 103.1, is also the tenth in the league, the average number of assists per game the league fifth, the Lakers need him to do, he did. So far this season, he hasn't missed a game, and with James and Davis injured back-to-back injuries, Westbrook has given it his all.
But now, Wei Shao can't fight because of the health and safety management agreement, which is undoubtedly an opportunity for Wei Shao to prove himself. If Wei Shao does not fight, will the Performance of the Lakers go to a higher level? I don't think so.
At the age of 37, LeBron James has once again hoisted the honor of the week, and you can't ask him to do more. The Lakers' two best players, one is James and the other is Davis, but this season, Davis seems to have never had a game that surprised everyone. Lakers star O'Neal said: "I saw James play some good performances, but I didn't see thick eyebrows, and that's the problem. If you want to be a great duo, don't let the older player do this and that, do it all.
So far this season, Anthony Davis has averaged just 23.8 points, 10.2 rebounds per game, and 1.2 steals and 2.1 blocks, which is not too much of a problem in stats, after all, last season only 21.8 points and 7.9 rebounds. But Davis' three-point shooting percentage of just 18.2 percent was disastrous. After winning the championship, Anthony Davis' personal offensive status continues to decline, which is why the Lakers have not met people's expectations in these two seasons.
Next, Russell Westbrook is absent, LeBron James just got the best of the week, the state is extremely good, once the Lakers lose, then the problem will surface, And Wei Shao can also prove his innocence. Olney also said: James got the Western Conference Of the Week best, so Mr. AD, what are you doing? I haven't heard people mention your name in a whole year. I believe that no one will think that O'Neal does not understand the ball!
