On January 3, Beijing time, the Lakers defeated the Timberwolves 108-103 to achieve two consecutive wins. In this game, Wei Shao played 33 minutes, 7 of 16 shooting, 20 points, 3 boards and 5 assists, and also sent out 9 turnovers.
As for the personal data of the game, Wei Shao explained: "When you watch a basketball game and figure out the way to play the right round, get the card slot, grab the rebound, and complete the right reading game, that's what it means to be a basketball player. ”
In the fourth quarter of the game, Westbrook scored a key goal against Edwards to help the Lakers take a 99-93 lead. Asked if this key jump shot would get him out of the woods, Westbrook retorted: "I disagree. I disagree with you that I'm not in good shape. I played well. “
"My game doesn't depend on shooting or whether there are mistakes. I missed some shots and it was part of the game. I was allowed to shoot miss. I can do that. Like other players, I can lose shots, I can make mistakes, I can do that, it's all part of the game. ”
Although, Wei Shao didn't think how bad his game was? When coaches and teammates talk about Wei Shao, they are mostly encouraged.
"Had a tough night tonight," Lakers head coach Vogel said. "But Westbrook is improving, and we're improving on the offensive end."
After the game, James also said of Westbrook: "It's just that he exists... He was able to help us on the pitch, he could help us as long as he was on the pitch, and he felt very guilty about his mistakes today, especially in the first half, he did better in the second half, only 2 turnovers. (7 times in the first half)"
Anthony also chose to support Westbrook after the game. "I don't think we have to investigate his performance on the basketball court, mistakes or anything like that, because he blames himself anyway." "We're just there to support him, let him figure it out and we'll be there for him."
Whether it is Vogel, or James, Anthony, they all choose to accept Westbrook's style of play. This may also be the main reason for Westbrook's arrogance in facing the media after the game. In fact, since Westbrook entered the NBA, he has been growing up "doting". In the decades of playing in the NBA, Wei Shao's style of play has not changed.
