On January 8, Beijing time, the Lakers won 134-118 in the home game against the Hawks, after which the Lakers have a four-game winning record in the past period of time, and this season has also improved the record to 21 wins and 19 losses. Given the injury troubles and team chemistry problems the Lakers have faced so far this season, there is no doubt that this is what fans want to see.
When it comes to chemistry, Westbrook is definitely the player who has suffered the most controversy in the Lakers so far this season. Because it's hard to have good enough chemistry with LeBron James and Anthony Davis in his individual play, Westbrook has almost always been a triple-double + high turnovers in the early part of the season, but such data simply can't lead the Lakers to win the game.
However, judging from the performance of several games, Westbrook seems to have found a way to solve this problem, especially against the Eagles.
At the end of the game, Wei Shao, who started 31 minutes, had a quasi-triple-double performance of 9 points, 11 rebounds and 13 assists in the case of 4 of 14 shots, although there were still 3 turnovers, but compared to Wei Shao's performance of 9, 7 and 5 mistakes in a single game in the past period of time, this must have been a very low number of mistakes. What's more, Wei Shao did not make a single mistake in his last game against the Kings.
Simply put, being able to deliver up to 13 assists in the future with just 3 turnovers is already a very efficient performance.
Of course, there are definitely still many problems in Wei Shao's game. Even though Wei Shao has been able to control his mistakes well in the last two games, Wei Shao is still the player with high assists but also high turnovers in the other 38 games so far this season, so it certainly cannot be said that Wei Shao has completely found a way to control mistakes, and he may also have a high error performance in future games.
The second is the number of shots and the problem of efficiency performance, high shots and reduced assists can indeed reduce the occurrence of mistakes, but Westbrook's scoring efficiency can be said to be very low, for example, in the game against the Eagles, the performance of 4 in 14 shots is indeed a classic "Willy-style operation".
Overall, Wei Shao is still a player in a dead cycle of high shots but low efficiency, more passes but more mistakes, and how the Lakers coaching staff can solve these two major problems of Wei Shao is definitely the key to the team's impact on the championship.
