On July 30, 2021, the Los Angeles Lakers named Kyle. Kuzma, Kentavios. Cardwell. Pop, Monterrez Harrell, and the first-round No. 22 pick were traded from the Washington Wizards to Russell. Westbrook.
The Lakers' career of the "Turtles" officially kicked off, and Westbrook, wearing the No. 0 jersey, will be paired with LeBron. James and Anthony. Davis forms the Trident of the Purple and Gold Legion.
"360" combination
However, with the Lakers losing six consecutive games in the preseason, Westbrook's answer sheet does not seem to be ideal, but the preseason is only an appetizer after all, and the regular season is the main battlefield.
Russell. Westbrook
On October 20, 2021, the NBA's new regular season kicked off, and the Los Angeles Lakers sat at home to face the Golden State Warriors, a battle that should have proved themselves, and Wei Shao's performance was still unsatisfactory.
Wei Shao played 35 minutes, shooting 4 of 13, 4 of 3 points, 0 of 3 points, 8 points, 5 boards, 3 assists, 4 turnovers, 4 fouls, plus-minus -23 lowest in the game.
Although Westbrook did not play well in the first game of the regular season, one game can explain everything, obviously not.
In the regular season opener, the Lakers entered the fourth quarter with a slight advantage of 2 points, and the helpless Warriors Poole and Bjelica felt hot and lost the game with an aggregate score of 121-114.
Throughout the game, the Lakers' offense is obviously not smooth, and the defensive gate has not been established, allowing a team to score 32 points in the final quarter, and it is strange not to lose.
He is the 2016-17 regular season MVP; the 2014-2015 and 2016-2017 regular season scoring champion; and the 2017-2018 and 2020-2021 regular season assist king.
Russell. Westbrook was named to the All-Star Team nine times, MVP of the All-Star Game for two consecutive years in 2015 and 2016, twice to the All-Star First Team, five times to the All-Team Second Team, and to the 2018-19 All-Star Team; and averaged a triple-double in 2016-17, 2017-18 and 2018-19.
This series of achievements, all worthy of the league superstar, 32-year-old Russell. Westbrook, the Hall of Fame will also have his place.
Wei Shao's passion is still there, he only needs to wait for the run-in of time, when the time comes, and see how the "reckless man" of the Purple and Gold Legion will win the storm.
