The Los Angeles Lakers lost 117-125 to the Sacramento Kings, and in this game, Russell Westbrook made 14 shots and conceded 12 goals, and the feel of Westbrook's game became the focus of discussion.
Westbrook's recent feel has been a long time, with the Hawks on 4-of-14 shooting, the Grizzlies on 12-of-2, and the Kings on 2-of-14 shooting, Westbrook has averaged 7.8 points in the past 3 games, shooting only 20% from the field. Since entering 2022, Westbrook has not hit a three-pointer. Reevet hasn't hit a single three-pointer yet. Wei Shao was very upset about his recent state and was asked, "When I know that my recent shooting performance is very difficult." Wei Shao replied, "Dude, do you still need you to tell me?" TMD couldn't score a single goal. ”
Wei Shao responded to the recent downturn in his feelings, "I don't like the word recession, I will focus on myself and find a way." At the moment I'm just looking for the best way to play, and I'll find it. The team and I are making adjustments, as a player I have to find ways to help the team, I don't have any excuses, I have to do my best. I never panic, I never lack confidence in myself, I put more pressure on myself to make progress. ”
LeBron James scored a game-high 34 points in this game, and Zhan Huang expressed support and understanding for the slump of his teammates, "He needs to continue to train hard, obviously he went into training and got some good shooting opportunities, but he just couldn't shoot." ”
As for whether Westbrook's self-confidence will waver after these games, James said, "We are all NBA players, and when we go through a period of lows, anyone will feel frustrated, which is a natural reaction." Head coach Vogel also believes that Wei Shao is in a low tide, whether it is in the basket finish or outside shooting, now the whole team is to help him overcome the difficulties.
