The Los Angeles Lakers' four-game winning streak was eventually broken by the Grizzlies. There is no doubt that such an outcome will be disappointing for the Lakers, as they hope they can continue to win. In this game, James was the only player in the starting lineup to play normally, achieving a beautiful number of 35 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists. The remaining four starters scored only 22 points of 8-of-39.
Fans are most concerned about Westbrook's performance. He played 26 minutes, shooting 2-of-12 from the field, 0-of-1 from three-point range, 2-of-2 from the free throw line, 6 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 block, 0 turnovers, plus or minus -22! After the game, Wei Shao became the object of ridicule by fans.
On the Internet, there is a picture of James checking technical statistics on the bench, and Wei Shao, who is next to him, looks very embarrassed. Many fans said that it was like parents checking the report card, and Wei Shao on the side was obviously the child who had failed the test.
Some American netizens joked: "Wei Shao does not want James to look at the technical statistics table." Some fans also said: "Wei Shao hopes that James can see the side of his 0 mistakes. ”
In the offseason, after the Lakers signed Westbrook, the fans cheered. Nowadays, Wei Shao has played crotch in the Lakers, and he has also become the object of ridicule by fans. As a low-efficiency, high-turnover star, Westbrook must make changes at the Lakers, otherwise it will be difficult for him to really gain a foothold in the team.
Given his over $40 million annual salary contract, the Lakers had a hard time trading him out. But that doesn't mean the fans will choose to accept him. In fact, if things don't change quickly, the taunts against Wei Shao may become louder as frustration increases. Hopefully we'll see the Los Angeles Lakers solve this problem.
