An NBA regular season focus battle, the Los Angeles Lakers away to challenge the Denver Nuggets. In this game, Russell Westbrook finally hit the first three-pointer of 2022, after a total of 16 shots, although late but late, which is lamentable.
This game, for the Lakers, is simply unbearable. In the first quarter, they lost 5 points, the second quarter lost 8 points, and the third quarter collapsed even harder, losing double digits. The fourth quarter continued to be crushed, trailing by more than forty points at most, and Vogel and LeBron James finally conceded their lives and conceded defeat on the pitch. The Lakers are very depressed, especially in the first half, killing people, knowing that they are not playing badly, and they have been thrown away so many points, so the mood collapses, and the second half is missed.
Westbrook started today, feel OK, 26 minutes, 7 of 15, 1 of 2 three-pointers, 4 of 4 from the free throws, cut 19 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, plus or minus -11, not bad. The most gratifying thing is that Wei Shao finally scored 3 points, but unfortunately, the first three points of 2022 came later than ever...
This is Westbrook's 7th game of 2022, the previous six games, Westbrook did not shoot much on the outside, against the Timberwolves, the Kings, he shot 0 of 5, 3 shots against the Blazers, against the Grizzlies, kings 1 of 0, and a game against the Hawks did not shoot, a total of 15 shots 0, plus this game against the Nuggets, the first shot did not score, that is, after 16 times of iron, in exchange for the first hit.
It's not easy, Westbrook's shooting rate this year is too poor, only 43.8% of the two-point shot, and less than 30% of the three-point shot. Iron playing and mistakes have always been the topic of Wei Shao, and fans have criticized a lot. Many people have called for a hurry to trade Wei Shao, but the operation is not so easy, and it is wait and see what fate Wei Shao will have.
