On January 17, Beijing time, the Los Angeles Lakers have not been good lately, after a 37-point defeat to the Nuggets, suffered 3 consecutive losses, the last 14 games 5 wins and 9 losses, the overall record to 21 wins and 22 losses, the win rate fell below 50%, ranking down to the eighth place in the West. Due to the team's poor performance, leader James directly issued a dynamic to apologize to the fans, which shows that the situation of the Lakers is extremely difficult.
And the Lakers in the downturn of consecutive losses, not only James apologized, another star Wei Shao was seriously complained about, a foreign Lakers fan even used the way of making rap private message Wei Shao, carried out a fierce criticism of the spit, the remarks are very sharp.
The lyrics of the player's rap song are: "The Lakers can't win because they don't have defense, we have you (Westbrook), but in fact we want Lillard more, LBJ really tried his best, taking 35 points is enough, Westbrook, you shot really many times, you still have these bricks can build a staples center again." If West has few three-point opportunities in the bottom corner, I bet he will shoot in the stands, your shots are really bad, really just playing for the money, we spend all the money on you, and the result is all adrift. ”
Sarcastical criticism of Westbrook to the extreme, this is the lakers fan's original intention of this song, every lyric is spitting on Westbrook, making people look heart-wrenching. Winning in competitive sports is the last word, the Lakers lose, Wei Shao does not perform well, naturally need to withstand these ridicule and criticism. The Lakers have always been one of the teams in the NBA pattern that have always been the most spotlight, and whether the stars play well or badly will be magnified and observed, which has never changed!
In addition, Wei Shao's current annual salary is more than 40 million, behind this annual salary, its season average of 18.7 points, 8.1 rebounds, 8 assists, 4.3 turnovers, shooting 43%, three-point shooting rate of 29%, the performance is not up to the level of 40 million annual salary, the contract cost performance is low. Lakers fans are currently dissatisfied with this, squeezing the team's salary space of more than 40 million, but they can only have this performance.
The 37-point defeat to the Nuggets was Westbrook's best performance in recent times, with 19 points, five rebounds and three assists on 7-of-15 shooting, while making 0 turnovers. In the three games before the Nuggets, Westbrook contributed 4-of-14, 2-of-12 and 2-of-14 performances, averaging 7.6 points per game in three games, shooting a dismal 20% from the field. In contrast, James scored 30+ in all 3 games in the same period, averaging 33.8 points per game, the same Lakers star, Wei Shao's sluggish performance is more eye-catching under the highlight of James! To get rid of these taunts and criticisms, Wei Shao needs to help the Lakers win by playing a good performance before they can turn over!
