On February 23, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season ushered in the All-Star holiday. So far, the Lakers have a record of only 27 wins and 31 losses, ranking 9th in the West. As a big favorite at the beginning of the game, the Lakers' results are obviously not satisfactory.
As the Lakers' biggest reinforcement last summer, Wei Shao has undoubtedly become the target of public criticism, and he has been criticized a lot and has been involved in many trade rumors. So far this season, Westbrook has averaged 34.6 minutes per game, averaging 18.3 points, 7.8 rebounds, 7.5 assists and 1.1 steals, shooting 43.7 percent from the field, shooting 29.9 percent from three-point range, and ranking second in the league with 4.1 turnovers per game.
In response to the criticism that Wei Shao was criticized, former NBA coach Big Van Gundy said good things for Wei Shao, he said: "Wei Shao is playing the season performance that the Lakers expect. His shooting percentage is his career average, and his effective shooting percentage is slightly above average, but his three-point shooting rate has slipped slightly. His average turnovers per game is a new low in nearly eight years, and he still has 18.3 points, 7.8 rebounds and 7.5 assists in the account. ”
Famous commentator Perkins also complained about Wei Shao on social media, writing: "Wei Shao is one of the 75 biggest stars in NBA history! We should not only look at the current situation, and we should not disrespect his entire career because he is currently struggling with the Lakers. ”
It is worth mentioning that the US media StatMuse posted a set of data. When playing for the Wizards last year, Westbrook averaged 23.6 points, 12.8 boards and 13.1 assists in 38 games after the All-Star Game, and eventually led the Wizards to the playoffs.
The Lakers currently have 24 games to play, and considering that Davis will be sidelined for a while due to injury, Major General Wei will take on more responsibility for the Lakers. According to the schedule, the Lakers will have their first game after the All-Star holiday on February 26, and they will play the Clippers at home.
