On January 20, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season continued. In today's focus battle, the Lakers welcomed the Pacers' challenge at home. After 48 minutes of fierce competition, the Lakers suffered a big reversal with a maximum 15-point lead, losing to the Pacers 104:111.
In today's game, Wei Shao's performance is debatable. Throughout the game, Wei Shao played 37 minutes, shooting 5 of 17, including 4 of 6 three-pointers, a total of 14 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, plus or minus -18, ranking second from the bottom of the team. It is worth mentioning that Westbrook hit 4 three-pointers today, which set a new high since he joined the Lakers.
However, while Westbrook's three-pointer today was outstanding, his two-pointer was dismal. Throughout the game, Westbrook's two-point shots totaled 11 shots, shooting less than 10%. What's even more incredible is that as many as 10 of Westbrook's 11 two-point shots came from the three-second zone, and many of them were scored out of the box, leaving fans helpless.
What is even more embarrassing to Wei Shao is that in the final moments of the game, he was once again abandoned by coach Vogel. Throughout the final quarter, Westbrook only played four points, and although he hit a three-pointer, it did not hide his inefficient play. Combined with Wei Shao's last game, which was also mostly hidden in the final quarter, his situation with the Lakers can be described as more and more embarrassing.
