At 9:00 a.m. Beijing time on March 10, the Lakers will play against the Rockets on the road. In the last game, James was suspended due to sore knees, the Lakers lost to the Spurs, and in this game, they hope to beat the Rockets and usher in a rebound. Wei Shao is expected to hit four major milestones in this match against his old club.
First, Westbrook's regular season total has reached 22,999 points, and he can unlock the 23,000-point milestone with just one more point, becoming the 33rd player in NBA history to score at least 23,000 points and the 5th active player. Among the active players, the only players who have a higher career total score than Westbrook are James, Anthony, Durant and Harden.
Second, Westbrook's total regular season assists reached 8514, ranking 12th in history, and as long as he delivered 11 more assists, he could surpass Andre Miller and rise to 11th in history. Westbrook has delivered at least 11 assists in 13 games this season.
Third, Westbrook's regular-season frontcourt rebounds have reached 1668, on par with Michael Jordan. As long as he grabs one more rebound in the frontcourt, he will surpass Jordan in this statistic.
Fourth, Westbrook's regular-season two-pointer shots have reached 15,080, tied for 42nd place with Dantley, and he will surpass Dantley with only one more two-pointer.
Of course, compared to these milestones, it is more important for Westbrook to usher in a rebound in the state as soon as possible and help the team win. In the six games after All-Star Weekend, Westbrook averaged 16.7 points, 6.2 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game, shooting 40 percent from the field. The three-point shooting rate is only 6.3%, and the Lakers have only achieved 1-5 in these 6 games.
