On January 16, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season is in full swing. In today's Western Focus battle, the Lakers lost to the Nuggets 96-133 on the road, suffered a three-game losing streak, and the record became 21-22, and the winning percentage fell below 50% again.
In today's game, Wei Shao's form has picked up. But in a 39-point fiasco, his performance seemed difficult to praise. In the whole game, Wei Shao played 26 minutes, 7 of 15 shots, including 1 of 2 three-pointers and 4 of 4 free throws, a total of 19 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, and there was not a single mistake in the whole game, which was the third game of Wei Shao's last 5 games without errors, and the total of 5 games was only 4 errors.
It is worth mentioning that in the past 3 games, Wei Shao's matches have been in single digits, and the total is only 8 of 40. In today's game, Wei Shao only scored 2 points on 1 of 5 shots in the first quarter, but after entering the second quarter, Wei Shao scored 8 points on 3-of-5 shooting. He scored in double figures in the first half, which also helped him end the embarrassing record of not scoring in double figures in three consecutive games.
In the 3rd quarter of the game, in the face of a huge point difference, Wei Shao's mentality was also a little anxious. In one offensive round, he collided with Nuggets player Gordon in succession, followed by a verbal altercation that resulted in a technical foul on both of them. In this quarter, Westbrook scored 9 points alone, which is one of the few players in the Lakers who can help chase points, and it should be noted that the Lakers only scored 19 points in the 3rd quarter.
However, it is clear that Wei Shao's performance is a drop in the bucket for the Lakers as a whole, and the Lakers are widened by the Nuggets after the point difference, and Wei Shao quickly returned to the bench and never played again. According to the schedule, the Lakers will host the Jazz on January 18.
