On December 29, Beijing time, the NBA regular season Lakers played against the Rockets. Throughout the game, Westbrook shot 10 of 17 and 2-of-2 three-pointers, with 24 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists. It is worth mentioning that in the last moments of the game, Wei Shao staged a rebound to help Old Zhan complete the three-double scene, which was too heartwarming.
Westbrook gave up rebounds to help James complete a triple-double
In order to let Wei Shao come out of the trough, the Lakers directly abandoned the two major internal magic beasts and little Jordan in the first half, that is, to play five small lineups. Such a scene is not unfamiliar, think that when Wei Shao came to the Rockets, and hardened the double MVP combination, the Rockets even sent away Capela to create space for Wei Shao.
In the five small lineups, The speed advantage of Westbrook can be vividly reflected. When the second quarter of the game came up, Wei Shao broke out.
The Lakers chased back and counterattacked, Wei Shaogan pulled out a jump shot and hit a three-pointer steadily, and it didn't take long for him to counterattack to break through the layup, and connected with James, and the empty cut basket also entered. At this point, Westbrook played 12 minutes, shooting 6-of-7, and had 13 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals.
Perhaps Wei Shao has also heard and seen the recent criticism from the outside world, and he is seen as the culprit of the Lakers' five consecutive losses. Even the opponents despised him, and the connection between James and Westbrook, the Rockets player completely let Westbrook go.
In the final moments of the half, Wei Shao cut in the air, received a wonderful pass from James, and hit a layup. Slightly regrettable, Wei Shao's mistakes are still a little more, in the last moment of the half, he dribbled the ball and touched his feet out of bounds, staged five big 囧, the entire first half, there were 4 mistakes, Mei Ji complained, "It is really a walking mistake machine." In the third quarter, he singled out his opponent once, shooting directly on the top edge of the rebound, and played five big chi in a row.
However, for Wei Shao, this battle is a battle of redemption. In the final moments of the third quarter, he hit a three-point shot to help the team lead into the fourth quarter. However, in the fourth quarter, Wei Shao staged a dunk rejection by the basket, but after that, James stepped forward and scored 10 points in the last 100 seconds, leading the Lakers to laugh to the end, and Wei Shao also avoided embarrassment.
With 36 seconds left in the game, Westbrook jumped up to grab the ball and gave up the rebound to James, helping the latter complete a triple-double. James then grabbed another rebound, and the triple-double was also insured. Wei Shao's behavior like this is admirable and really heartwarming.
