In the home game against the Pacers, Westbrook's performance was once again crotch-pulling, and his shooting performance on the outside was not bad, with a total of 4 of 6 shots, including 4 three-pointers, which also set a new record number of three-pointers in a single game for the Lakers. On the two-point range, however, Westbrook's performance was disappointing, with he shot 1-of-11 from two-point range and 1-of-5 from the basket in the game. In the whole game, Westbrook had 14 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists on 5-of-17 shooting, although there was only one turnover, but his plus-minus was -18, which was second-to-last, only better than James's -20.
In this game, Westbrook's performance was very unsatisfactory, although he was able to shoot three-pointers on the outside, but his performance was too bad in terms of the end rate of two-pointers, whether it was a layup under the basket or a jump shot at the free throw line position, his performance was not ideal. As the team's core defender, he shot only 29.4% from the field, which is unsatisfactory.
In addition, Wei Shao is good at tandem the whole team, in this game can not be seen, in order to reduce the number of his own mistakes, Wei Shao's passing number in this campaign is very small, and does not participate in the organization of the team, in many cases, he will hand over the ball to other players to handle in the half, stay in the bottom corner, or near the basket. Admittedly, in this game, Wei Shao once again controlled his mistakes very well, but he did not connect the whole team's attack and did not complete his task as a core defender.
In this game, because the first three quarters were too sluggish, Westbrook did not get much playing time in the final quarter, and at key moments, Vogel did not let Westbrook return. From this arrangement, we can also see that Vogel is still not satisfied with Wei Shao's performance, and chose to abandon him at the critical moment of deciding the victory or defeat.
In the last game against the Jazz, Westbrook showed his good physical condition, he once held the ball to break through the gap and dunk the best defensive inside Gobert, this dunk shocked four. After completing the dunk, the outside world believes that the familiar Wei Shao has returned, and his physical condition is still in peak condition. However, from the perspective of this game, it can be said that Westbrook Gobert can only be said to be short-lived, and there will be one or two such performances once or twice, but it is difficult for him to maintain such a good competitive state for a long time.
Wei Shao's current physical fitness is not as good as before, and there has been a significant decline in bouncing and athletic ability compared with the past, and the decline in these aspects has also greatly affected Wei Shao's breakthrough efficiency. That's why his shooting percentage from the basket is so low this season. This season's Westbrook, the performance of the Lakers is indeed a bit disappointing, pulling the crotch on the offensive end is a very common thing, and on the defensive end he can not limit the opponent's breakthrough, the season has ended in the game, Westbrook rarely played a satisfactory performance. Overall, the current Wei Shao is no longer the original omnipotent MVP, and the outside world is looking forward to him to save the team and get the luxury triple-double data again, which is no longer realistic.
