On December 26, Beijing time, the NBA year-end battle Lakers lost to the Nets 115-122 at home, suffering five consecutive losses. In this campaign, the Nets are Harden alone to lead the team, and the Lakers are led by james and Wei Shao, two superstars, but the Lakers finally lost precisely because of the former "superstar" of Wei Shao!
In the whole game, James played 40 minutes, shot 14 of 25, including 3 of 9 three-pointers, 8 of 9 from the free throws, contributed 39 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals and 1 block data, the plus-minus value on the court was +9, the team was second; and then look at Young Master Wei, who played for 37 minutes, shot 4 of 20, including 3 of 3 three points, slashed 13 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists, and the plus-minus on the court was -23, the team was the first to last.
After the game, the famous Shannon Sharpe tweeted angrily: "Wei Shao shot 4 of 20, but he will still be happy because he got the damn triple-double, tomorrow's sunshine is still bright." Although this sentence has an element of spit and ridicule in it, and I don't know if Wei Shao will be happy in the end, I want to say that the Lakers lost this ball, and Wei Shao is going to carry the pot. The famous Jamhee Skip also tweeted: "The Nets won because there was Mills, and the Lakers lost because there was Westbrook."
In this game, the Lakers played a good game in the first and second half, the Lakers trailed by 15 points at 23-38 in the first quarter, but in the second quarter, the Lakers played a 39-28 offensive climax, narrowing the point difference to 4 points before the end of the half; the crucial third quarter, the Lakers and the Nets in the first half of the tug-of-war, but when James came down, Wei Shao led the team alone, the Nets played an 11-3 offensive climax, expanding the point difference to 20 points; in the fourth quarter of the game, it was James who led the team alone to tie the score difference. Until the last 4 minutes of Wei Shao's play, the situation on the court changed subtly, and finally accompanied by Wei Shao's dunk, the Lakers announced the result of the game loss.
In this game, Wei Shao had at least 3 layups and one key dunk, of course, this does not include the three points after being emptied; I think if Wei Shao can use the enthusiasm and initiative of grabbing rebounds to the layup, those few times fed to the mouth of the layup, will definitely become a dunk. Of course, rebounding is also the best thing Westbrook has done in this game.
Just imagine, if Westbrook is not the core of the team, not a superstar, then he does not have to appear in the last moment, then the Lakers have a chance to win the game.
