On February 6, Beijing time, the Lakers defeated the Knicks at home 122-115 through overtime. In this game, the Lakers finally completed the reversal with a maximum of 21 points behind, creating the team's biggest reversal point difference this season. James returned from this campaign and exploded with 29 points, 13 boards and 10 assists in a single game. However, in addition to such an exciting victory, Wei Shao was extremely frustrated, and he was directly reduced to a spectator in extra time and did not appear.
In the whole game, Wei Shao only made 1 of 10, got 5 points, 4 boards and 6 assists, but made 4 mistakes. It can be said that Wei Shao's performance in this game is very bad. In the fourth quarter, Wei Shao only got 5 minutes of time. In overtime, Vogel simply replaced Wei Shao with Tucker, so that Wei Shao sat directly on the cold bench. The final result also embarrassed Wei Shao, and the Lakers finally completed a big reversal without him.
In the game, Wei Shao also encountered an embarrassing scene again. In the final moments of the fourth quarter, the Lakers led by 3 points. James drew the bag and passed the ball to Munch at the top of the arc. Knicks players rotated slower and made up for Munch. At this time, Wei Shao, who is 45 degrees on the left side, is already a complete vacancy, and there is no one in front of him 3 meters. But Munch didn't care about Wei Shao at all, and didn't pass him in the face of multi-person defense. In the end, Munch chose to believe in himself, but failed to shoot.
From this detail, it can be seen how unpopular Wei Shao's shooting is. Because this is not the first time this season has occurred. And Wei Shao himself is not enough to fight, many times even appear to hit the upper edge of the basket and the timer of the embarrassing moment, this game is only 1 in 10, no wonder teammates dare not pass the ball to him, because this is equivalent to a waste of the ball.
After the game, Wei Shao also looked helpless. Although he was a little resentful, he did not have a good seizure because the team won. Speaking to reporters, Wei Shao said that Vogel did not communicate with him until the last moment of the game. But he can only say that the team's victory is the most important thing, and Vogel made the right decision. Wei Shao's situation is indeed very heartfelt.
