On February 8, Beijing time, Wei Shao was criticized by Lakers fans, but James has been supporting him behind his back. In an interview after the Lakers' training today, James once again expressed his support for Wei Shao.
"No one is to blame more than another, and no one deserves more praise than another. When we lose, we all lose. James said.
Old Zhan means that winning and losing are all carried together, not a problem of one person. Basketball is a team sport, and everyone is not an isolated individual.
Obviously, these words are a strong support for Wei Shao. Today, Wei Shao has become the representative of the league's high salary and low ability, with an annual salary of more than $44 million, and in the last game against the Knicks, he shot 1 of 10 and scored only 5 points. It was Westbrook's highest score in a single game since 2011.
So much so that Vogel simply abandoned Westbrook in extra time. In fact, entering February, Westbrook averaged only 10.3 points, 7.7 assists and 6.7 rebounds per game, shooting 27.5% from the field and 16.7% from three-point range, which was quite sluggish.
Previously, there were media reports that the Lakers wanted to peddle Wei Shao, but the transaction could not happen, in other words, wei Shao has become a hot potato.
Therefore, James's support for Wei Shao is also a wise move. Now the Lakers can only hope that Wei Shao can quickly wake up and get back to the state he once was. Otherwise, the championship will be farther and farther away.
