After today's Lakers and Timberwolves game, Westbrook's 7 mistakes in the first half were criticized by fans, and many American media also attacked Westbrook's performance after the game. Even in an interview with James and Anthony, he was asked by reporters about Westbrook's performance. As the two big brothers of the team, James and Anthony still supported Wei Shao in the interview, but it was helpless that Wei Shao "punched" James and Anthony in the subsequent interview.
James said in an interview: "Obviously his [Westbrook] performance helped us, and his mistakes made him blame himself, especially in the first half, but in the second half he only had 2 turnovers, which made us score a lot of goals. When we attacked well, we were a great team. And another big brother, Anthony, said: "I don't think it's necessary for us to teach him what he's doing on the pitch." And about mistakes or things like that, he'll blame himself anyway. We're just standing there supporting him, letting him figure things out on his own, and we're going to always be there for him. “
I have to say that James and Anthony, the two big brothers, are really great teammates, and the emotional intelligence of these two interviews is full, giving Westbrook good support, and the two of them also hope that the media and fans will not blame Wei Shao too much. Unfortunately, Wei Shao immediately "punched" the two big brothers in the interview, and this emotional intelligence was simply unbearable. Asked by reporters what it meant to have a poor performance in the game, Westbrook said bluntly: "I disagree with what you said about my poor form of the game. My game is not based on a shot lost or if there is a mistake. I'll concede some balls and it's part of the game. I was allowed to throw a shot, and I was able to do that. Like other players, I can concede shots and make mistakes, and that's part of the game. “
Judging from this interview with Wei Shao, Wei Shao did not "blame himself" at all as James and Anthony said. He didn't seem to think his outrageous mistakes of the first half were undeserved. To him, those inexplicable missteps seemed to be taken for granted, as if they had to be allowed. This kind of rhetoric is undoubtedly "punching" the two big brothers. No wonder fans have watched it and said that Wei Shao's emotional intelligence is really speechless.
