On February 3, Beijing time, the Lakers narrowly defeated the Blazers 99-94 at home. Wei Shao had 9 points, 10 rebounds and 13 assists, and in terms of organizational offense, Wei Shao performed well, but his shooting performance was not good, only 3 of 12, and even more heartwarming was the two key defensive mistakes in the fourth quarter, losing 6 points in 32 seconds, almost becoming a sinner! Fortunately, the thick eyebrows exploded 30+15, especially the outbreak in the last quarter, with 11 points and 8 rebounds in the single quarter, saving Wei Shao and the Lakers.
More than 3 minutes into the final third quarter, the Lakers led by 5 points 88-83, and the situation was good. Willsbro was in charge of keeping an eye on Powell, and Anthony and Bradley pinched Simmons, at which point Covington was released. Westbrook chose to let go of Powell, who was defending, and went to save Covington at a 45-degree angle, but in fact, Anthony was not far from Covington, causing the two to almost collide, and Simmons chose to pass the ball to Powell, who missed Westbrook, and Powell hit a three-point shot in the empty corner!
This ball, Westbrook's judgment is problematic. First of all, he let go of Powell too risky, Covington has a number of teammates within the range can make up for the defense, but he let go of Powell, the thick eyebrows on the other side are not too late to make up for the defense, secondly, powell and Covington's threat level is not a level, Powell is hot in this game, and finally scored 30 points, while Covington scored 0 points in this game, 8 shots 0.
After only 32 seconds, Wei Shao was impulsive again, and this time, Powell punished him with three points again! This round, Powell was still standing in the bottom left corner, and Wei Shao was still with him at first. After the opposing player broke through the inside line, Wei Shao's eyes were immediately attracted to the ball, and he seemed to have forgotten the mistake of the previous round and rushed towards the ball carrier. Powell in the bottom corner appeared in a big vacancy, the ball first passed to the front of Covington, Covington did not stop the ball, the first time to the big vacancy of Powell. Wei Shao hurriedly jumped up and covered, and after being flashed by the other party, it was another three-pointer!
In just 32 seconds of two rounds, Wei Shao continued to make mistakes in judgment on the defensive end, allowing the Lakers to be equalized by the other side. If it were not for the thick eyebrows in the fourth quarter, 11 points and 8 rebounds in a single quarter, I am afraid that the Lakers would be difficult to retreat. Wei Shao is prone to heat-headedness as soon as he reaches a critical moment, and this problem is probably difficult to solve. It's no surprise that in the previous game, Vogel had pressed him on the bench at a crucial moment.
