There were seven turnovers in the half, and this performance is now surprising to most fans on other players. But it can appear in Westbrook, but it seems to be somewhat habitual. In today's Lakers vs Timberwolves game, Westbrook made a mistake in the first half. If it weren't for his 7 mistakes, the Lakers would have taken a big lead over their opponents.
Throughout the first half of the game, the Lakers made 11 mistakes across the team, while Westbrook alone dominated 7 times. To put it bluntly, the Timberwolves relied on Westbrook to chase points. In the first six minutes of the first quarter, Westbrook alone had three very low-level mistakes, the most impressive of which was that after the Lakers snatched and pushed back, Wei Shao raised the ball directly out of his hand when he attacked quickly, and gave the opponent the ball in vain, and he scored four points when he came and went. You know, in the first quarter of the game, the Lakers led the Timberwolves by 7 points, if it were not for Wei Shao's mistake, the Lakers led by more than 10 points.
In the second quarter, Westbrook didn't seem to have any introspection, a more classic mistake, he dribbled the ball to the whole field, and in the absence of any defense, he came out again and gave the ball to the Timberwolves. I think the Timberwolves head coach would thank Westbrook for his help. At the end of the half, the Lakers only led the Timberwolves by three points at 57-54.
If Westbrook's fancy mistakes could be a little less, the Lakers would have no problem leading by more than 10 points. Wei Shao's mistakes in the first half can produce a highlight. Today's five big 囧, he can also bear a large part. Many fans who watched the live broadcast said that they finally understood why Durant had to leave.
With a salary of up to 40 million yuan a year, Westbrook has not been able to do even the basic job of a point guard. In the case of the team's obvious superiority, there have been a series of completely unnecessary mistakes, which seriously damaged the morale of the team and its teammates, giving the opponent the opportunity to easily chase points, which is really disappointing. In the first half, the Lakers obviously performed so well, but they still failed to open the score, and I really don't know if other players will have ideas in their hearts.
It's time to wake up, Wei Shao.
