In the Lakers' year-end game against the Nets, they regrettably lost to their opponents. The loss of this game really made the fans very uncomfortable, and many people also blamed Russell Westbrook for the loss of this game! Indeed, Westbrook played very badly in this game, he played 37 minutes, shot only 4 of 20 shots, although he got a triple-double, but the efficiency is really difficult to satisfy!
After the game, the US media also showed a statistic, that is, Westbrook's game shot only 4 of 15 shots in the paint of the inner line, and missed 11 inside shots to equal the highest value of midfield players in the last 10 seasons. And the previous high was also his own creation, and in 2020, he also missed 11 shots on the inside of the game against the Nuggets!
It can be said that The inside finishing ability of Westbrook in this game is indeed very bad, and this picture of his shooting can well show his downturn in this game, not a single ball was hit outside the paint area, and most of the shots in the paint area were missed. At a critical moment in the game, he missed one of the most crucial dunks, and this dunk missed and directly led to the team's loss!
It can be said that although Westbrook has very good athleticism and impact, his finishing touch on the inside of the game is not outstanding, and it can even be said that it is a little rough. After his current age, his athleticism sometimes cannot support him to make excellent dunks under high-intensity confrontation, which will directly lead to his difficulty in scoring under the basket. This may be fine during regular hours, but it will be very obvious at critical moments!
This game is just the beginning for Westbrook and the Lakers, and there will be such a problem in the game after this season, which is inevitable, I hope the Lakers and fans are ready, after all, this is The shortcomings of Westbrook, before trading him, you must be prepared for this!
