On December 26, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, the Lakers lost to the Nets, and in this game, although Westbrook cut a triple-double of 13 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists, only 4 of 20 shots, a net loss of 23 points on the game, ranking first from the bottom of the Lakers team.
Wei Shao's poor performance also led to his criticism from many people after the game, and the famous Zhan Hei Skip bayless rarely did not open James, but instead aimed at Wei Shao.
"The Nets won over the Lakers because they had Patty Mills, and the Lakers had Westbrook. Patty Mills excels at any night than Russell Westbrook, Patty is a key shooter and an intangible asset to the victors, and Westbrook is a bad pitcher and turnover machine who is more interested in data than winning. Skip bayless wrote on personal social media.
Mills played 35 minutes and shot 34 points and 7 assists on 11-of-17 shooting (including 8-of-13 three-pointers) and scored 19 points on the floor, the highest net win in the game.
It is worth mentioning that the famous salary expert Bobby Max also wrote after the game, "This offseason, the Nets signed Mills with a middle-class exception of $12 million for 2 years. In terms of salary structure, the Lakers, which are also the big three, chose to sign Nunn with a middle-class exception, 10 million for 2 years. ”
However, it should be noted that in fact, the Lakers also chased Mills in the offseason this year, but the latter chose to join the Nets, and Nunn was his stand-in.
