On January 16, Beijing time, Lakers reporter Cooper Halpern wrote an article analyzing Wei Shao's performance in the past 3 games, his shooting feels cold, but to what extent is it iron? The data speaks for itself.
Here, to introduce a data, is the Game Score (referred to as GmSc), which is an important data to evaluate the comprehensive performance of players on the field, the specific formula is score +0.4× shots -0.7× shots -0.4× (free throw shots - free throw hits) + 0.7 × frontcourt rebounds + 0.3× backcourt rebounds + steals + 0.7 × assists + 0.7 × blocks - 0.4 × fouls - number of turnovers. It looks a bit complicated, but it can effectively assess the state of the player.
Generally speaking, GmSc scores 10, which is the average level of the NBA, and if GmSc reaches 30 or more, it means very good. For example, James has had 8 games this season so far with at least 30 GmSc stats, and the game against the Blazers is the season-high of 40.8, and in that game, James contributed 43 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks and 0 turnovers. Westbrook has not had a game so far in the GmSc stats of 30, and the highest is 29.7. So far this season, Westbrook has had 11 games with GmSc under 10 and James with only 1.
In the last three games, Westbrook's GmSc has not even reached 8. Against the Hawks, his GmSc is 7.4; against the Grizzlies, his GmSc is 5.0; against the Kings, his GmSc is 6.4. How rare is it for Westbrook to have 3 consecutive games with GmSc less than 8? I've only been seen three times in my career. The first two were in his rookie season, and the third was in his second season, 2009-10, and he received GmSc stats of -1.4, 7.4 and 3.1 in three consecutive games in March 2010. In other words, three consecutive games GmSc is less than 8, and for Westbrook, it has not been seen for 12 years.
Lakers reporter Cooper Halpern pointed out that the main reason why Westbrook's GmSc value in the past three games is so low is poor shooting. In the past three games, he has made a total of 24 jump shots, scored only three goals, and shot 12.5% from the field. And the impact of the former stunts on the basket has also become a major shortcoming. In the past three games, Wei Shao has made 22 shots in the 3-second zone and only scored 5 goals. He made 16 shots under the basket and scored only 4 goals.
Three-point shots can not score, the efficiency of the penalty area has also dropped significantly, and it is not difficult to understand that Wei Shao's GmSc is so low. Today, the Lakers will play against the Nuggets on the road, can Westbrook get out of the slump? Let's wait and see.
