For the 37-year-old veteran, the Lakers have faced many challenges this season, and the current seventh place in the West has obviously not met the expectations of the outside world. He needs to lead the Lakers out of the predicament, and in the training photos, James shows a domineering scene, pointing to the camera.
An important reason why the Lakers are so depressed is that Wei Shao has not yet integrated into the team, and he has recently felt cold and frequently played iron. In an interview with The Athletic, Westbrook said he didn't regret joining the Lakers. "No (regret coming to the Lakers) because like I said, there are some things that are more important than basketball." Wei Shao pointed out some things that he had finally returned to his hometown. "Because I can meet my children, my family, my parents. For me, this is more important than anything else. I can go home and hug them every day and they can see me at any time. My children grow up every day and I can see them every day and send them to school. For me, it makes me happy. ”
So far this season, Westbrook has averaged 18.7 points, 8.2 rebounds and 8.1 assists per game, shooting 43.7 percent from the field and 28.8 percent from three-point range. The latest ability of the NBA 2K game has been adjusted, and the Lakers have 7 players changed, Westbrook, Anthony, Tucker, Ariza are all -1, Bradley +1, Munch +2, Reeves +3. It is worth mentioning that Kuzma, one of the chips that was exchanged for Wei Shao, has risen to 82 due to his recent outstanding performance, which is higher than Wei Shao (81).
The good news for the Lakers is that the recovery of thick eyebrows continues to make progress, and Lakers officials say he will be re-evaluated early next week. Dave McMenamin revealed that he has recovered well from his left knee injury and has made some progress in mobility, and he will be expected to make a comeback during the Lakers' six-game streak at the end of the month.
