Tonight, in the Crypto Arena with clipper-themed flooring
Reggie Jackson cut 36 points, 8 boards and 9 assists
Helped the Clippers beat the Lakers by 21 points
It was the Lakers' fourth loss to the Clippers this season
Also marked
The Lakers have been swept by rivals in the same city for two consecutive seasons
Despite being in the previous year
They won the long-lost championship
But in Los Angeles
They seem to be once again
In the pressure of this team sinks
It is worth mentioning
In these four L.A. derbys this season
Westbrook's average per game is
15.5 points, 4.8 boards and 4.3 assists
And his old teammates during the Thunder,
Zeng Jin's bench player in the same position
Reggie Jackson
In these four games
He averaged 23.5 points, 5.5 boards and 7.3 assists per game
In this data comparison
With a salary of $44.21 million, it ranks third in the league
Westbrook
Totally downwind
The one that has the upper hand
It is a contract average salary of less than $1100w
At first glance, it could be
The former is highly paid and incompetent
The latter is a great value for money situation
But think about it
Wei Shao took the money
But he contributed to 29 teams
Look at this incomparable value!
No kidding, just say it
How much Westbrook is disappointing Lakers fans these days
Reggie surprised Clippers fans a lot
The season has progressed to this stage
The Clippers' tenacity is admirable
In the loss of Leonard and George in succession
And halfway through the deal came after Powell
They remain strongly competitive
And now it's leading them on
It was Reggie, who was holding a two-year-old short-term contract
In 2011, 21-year-old Reggie made his second-round show
Join the Thunder
The first two years
He didn't get too many opportunities
But in 14 years, Westbrook was injured during his absence
Reggie became the team's starter
And after those dozens of starts
The young and vigorous Reggie thinks
He's the point guard who suits Durant better
And boldly expressed this idea to management
And the next thing is very clear
After Wei Shao returned, he continued to sit firmly in the starting lineup
A year later, in a weird team atmosphere
Reggie applied to management to trade himself
Travel to Detroit
But, in the years after that
Both Reggie and Westbrook use their own performances
This decision to send Reggie away by the detonator was proved
That's perfectly true
In those years, Wei Shao won the scoring championship twice in Russia
Even won the MVP
And Reggie is in Detroit
Less than 40% hit rate is used
Sing the double reed with this decaying city
Although it is not about creating people
But where the two went in 19 years
It did indirectly lead to their wind evaluation today
19-20 season
Westbrook who came to Houston
Gradually on the cusp of public opinion
And Reggie came to Los Angeles
It opened the way to becoming a mainstay of the Clippers
Today's Reggie is like a different person
That hard-mouthed tumor
Slowly became a veteran who did what he said
He plays with a team and has a calm personality
Last year's playoffs
Reggie averaged 17.8 points per game
48.4%/40.8%/87.8% of the three hits
Helped the team reach the Western Conference Finals for the first time in its history
Since then
Some on the team have begun to see him as a leader
Kennard said
He always had a smile on his face
He is one of the players who can stir up the atmosphere the most."
At the other end, it's a bit of a lament:
Talk about whether the team has discussed it
Let Wei Shao play the substitute thing
Lakers coach Vogel said
"We discussed everything"
But as Wei Shao himself said
Being swept by the Clippers in the regular season doesn't mean anything
The career trajectory of the two men
It is a crossover line that has been separated for a long time
And for Reggie
The best of times may be just around the corner
Although the team's best scorers are not there
But he didn't care
"We are writing our own story
Why can't we face the odds? ”
