Beijing time on January 15 news, NBA famous Venhorst said in a podcast show that Wei Shao should not play in the last 2 minutes. He said: "In less than 2 minutes of the game, if the Lakers are four points behind, the guard on the court should not be a person who has shot 20 three-pointers this season. "Finally, someone stood up and told the truth.
This season, Westbrook's three-point shooting percentage is only a pitiful 28.8%, and his shooting percentage is only 43.7%. The loss to the Kings was because the Lakers were 4 points behind, and Wei Shao made a very senseless three-point shot, which made the Lakers lose the hope of turning the game over. Before that, Westbrook's three-pointer was 0-of-4. This is also in line with Wei Shao's personality, always believing in himself, but this is really not very suitable for his current role.
For the Lakers, since the ball in the last 2 minutes is basically focused on James, the remaining 4 people can only wait for the opportunity. Therefore, all four players must have good projection ability so that James' role can be maximized. However, Wei Shao's current shooting level has reached the point where others want you to shoot, and Wei Shao just can't shoot. In this way, the opponent is equivalent to 5 defenses and 4, and the Lakers' key goal winning rate is certainly not high.
Therefore, Venhorst is not wrong, and the Lakers should remove Westbrook at a critical moment. In the previous game between the Lakers and the Kings, the Kings even openly played the introduction of Wei Shao as a cold ice shooter at home to mock Wei Shao. The League, on the other hand, came forward to warn and stop the King from committing such acts again.
For Wei Shao, he is really in a very bad situation now. A team that missed the playoffs for 15 consecutive years taunted him. But Wei Shao really has no way, his body decline is too serious, the feel is unpredictable, I don't know if after coming to the February month that he is particularly familiar with, Wei Shao will usher in an outbreak as promised?
