Today (March 8, 2022) the Lakers lost 110-117 to the Spurs, this game James is absent, the thick eyebrow brother also continues to be injured, strictly speaking, this is one of the big three Wei Shao alone to lead the team, but the result is not satisfactory, the team failed to win, Wei Shao's performance is also average.
In this game, Wei Shao played 34 minutes, shooting 5 of 14, including 2 of 2 three points, 7 of 13 free throws, 17 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists, 5 turnovers and 5 fouls, plus or minus +5, very average performance. In James' absence, it was Westbrook's best time to prove it, but he didn't take the chance.
For Wei Shao, after he came to the Lakers this season, he was really a bit lost in himself, did not play his own style, to know that Wei Shao is a player who has averaged three doubles per game many times, his comprehensiveness is beyond doubt, his explosiveness and athleticism, his organizational ability and speed are top-notch, but this season is indeed not played, if it is because of the age problem, I think it is still too early, wei Shao is only 33 years old, when he played. And this season Westbrook basically did not miss the game, only took one break, played 63 games, this attendance rate is very high. Therefore, Wei Shao's physical condition is very good.
Delay in playing out I feel that Wei Shao sometimes wants to prove himself too much, in other words, he thinks more, people criticize him for making more mistakes, he is trying to reduce, but the performance of other data has also decreased a lot, the gain is not worth the loss, blindly thinking about how to fight is the most rational, but let Wei Shao tie his hands and feet, this heart demon is not broken, it is difficult to achieve more achievements.
Last season, Westbrook was on the Wizards, Anderson had 4.8 assists per game, which was indeed a big deal, and this season it was reduced to 4.0, but last season's performance of Westbrook was averaging 22.2 points, 11.5 rebounds, 11.7 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.4 blocks per game, the performance was very good, although the mistakes were a little more, but that did not affect his overall performance.
After coming to the Lakers this season, the play is indeed much more reasonable than before, the average number of turnovers per game has dropped to 4, but other performances have dropped more at the same time, currently averaging only 18.1 points, 7.6 rebounds, 7.2 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.3 blocks, the gap is still very large, a bit of a cliff-like decline, but in fact, it is obvious that this is not the normal level of Westbrook.
Maybe because of coming to a super metropolis like Los Angeles, coupled with being around James, the exposure has risen several times at once, and then there are all kinds of things that follow, and I have not adapted to it at once, so I have some struggle. However, we must not forget that Westbrook is a great player, a Hall of Fame level player, the first arrival, and then James and thick eyebrows have been absent from the game, they have less time to run together, we still have to be more patient, waiting for the return of the strongest Westbrook.
