In the past three games, Westbrook's performance has undoubtedly been very bad, he has only scored 9, 6 and 8 points respectively, and three consecutive games have scored in single digits, which is very rare in Westbrook's career. Because we are used to Wei Shao's performance in the game and then get luxury data, and at this stage, Wei Shao even has a hard time scoring doubles, which is really a bit surprising.
The data shows that in the past three games, Westbrook has only averaged 7.8 points per game and shot only 20 percent from the field, which is undoubtedly the worst three games Westbrook has played in a long time. He became the main reason for the team's loss in the game, the efficiency at both ends of the attack and defense is not high, in the key moment, he can not hit the shot, Westbrook's current state is undoubtedly disappointing, and his current performance at this stage is also questioned by the outside world.
We all know that Westbrook once won the regular season MVP, averaging triple-doubles and various luxury triple-doubles in a single season, and in the past few years, Westbrook's personal performance has been very good. In addition to some crotch pulls in the playoffs, in the regular season, Westbrook's performance was very eye-catching. So the question is, as a former regular season MVP winner, why is it so difficult for him to even score in double figures now, and what is the reason why his form is so depressed?
In fact, the main reason for Wei Shao's decline is that his physical quality is not as good as before, at the peak, Wei Shao can rely on his own explosive physical quality to impact the basket, and then easily complete the score in front of the defensive players, and his average score per game under the basket at his peak is at the forefront of the league. This season, due to the decline in physical fitness, Wei Shao's efficiency in holding the ball to hit the basket has dropped sharply, and his influence in the game is not as good as before, and many times, after he completes the collision with the defender, his layup gesture will be deformed, and it is difficult to send the ball into the basket. The decline in physical fitness has also led to a sharp decline in The ability to break through the ball that Westbrook was best at before, and he also lacks a stable way to score.
In addition to the decline in physical fitness, the reason for Westbrook's sluggish performance is that he lacks shooting ability. At his peak, Westbrook's outstanding breakthrough ability could mask the flaws in his shooting. And now, Wei Shao can't break through the basket, and he can only try to shoot at the middle and long distance, which further magnifies his weakness. In many games, even if a defender abandons the defense of Wei Shao, it is difficult for him to throw the ball in. Poor shooting ability, which also led to a certain extent to Wei Shao's personal performance to pull the crotch.
The last point is that after Wei Shao joined the Lakers this season, his ball rights have decreased, and the role played by the team is different from before, under the new tactical system, Wei Shao cannot find the previous way of playing, and he plays very uncomfortable in the game, which has become one of the reasons for Wei Shao's poor performance.
For now, it's hard for Westbrook to go back to where he was before, and it's hard to see him playing a big game again and then helping the team win the game. With the decline of physical fitness, Wei Shao's crotch pulling performance may be more. In the author's opinion, what Wei Shao has to do now is only to adapt to the Lakers' tactical system, play more reasonably in the game, reduce his unnecessary shots and mistakes, and try to help the team in other aspects when the shooting feel is not good, and Wei Shao can only do better in these aspects to help the team get back on track.
