The continuous slump of Westbrook finally broke out, he faced the Warriors in a game to dedicate 9 of 17 crosshairs, including 3 of 3 three points, 1 of 2 free throws, 20 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, fighting to 5 fouls and 5 turnovers, the third highest in the team with a plus-minus of +13 on the field, becoming one of the important contributors to the Lakers' end of the losing streak.
When Magic Johnson criticized Westbrook by name before the game, saying that Westbrook could not make excuses and needed to play like Kobe Bryant, and even stressed that once the Lakers could not advance from the playoffs, Westbrook was the worst deal in Lakers history.
There is no doubt that the outside world's doubts have put great pressure on Wei Shao, and even Wei Shao's daughter-in-law has publicly confronted the famous Zhan Hei SKIP on the Internet, but whether it can crush the doubts and rumors from the outside world undoubtedly depends on Wei Shao's own performance.
In the face of the super control showdown with Curry, Wei Shao played extremely hard in this game, he gave 3 of 3 percent crosshairs in the first quarter, continuously impacted the inside line to create injuries, and contributed 6 points and 1 assist in a single quarter to help the Lakers once take a 25-11 lead. It's just that Wei Shao's state is difficult to maintain, he was limited to 1 in the second quarter of 5, once again opened the familiar mode of playing iron, and the first half was also 4 of 8 to get 9+2+3.
The Lakers needed Westbrook to play more aggressively, and he finally hit his first three-pointer in the third quarter, and the only one. In the case of James's continuous crazy scoring, Wei Shao also played extremely fiercely, and he scored 9 points in 4 of 7 of the quarter, becoming an important contributor to the Lakers' points.
In the final quarter, James and Anthony hit key goals consecutively, and Wei Shao scored 2 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist in the last quarter, but effectively helped the team curb the splash brothers and became the heroes of the Lakers' victory.
Westbrook finally scored 20+ points again after 10 games, the last game was on January 31 against the Eagles to score 20 points, and it was also his second 34 days to score 20+ points. As for Westbrook, he scored 20+ in 10 games, becoming Westbrook's biggest interval since his rookie season, when he scored less than 20 points in 20 consecutive games.
After the game, Magic Johnson was also finally subdued and praised Wei Shao, "I am proud of Wei Shao, he was a key factor in the Lakers' victory over the Warriors, he scored 20 points tonight." That's the way the Lakers have always needed him to play, he plays really hard, he's aggressive, and he makes good decisions on the court. ”
