The Lakers' poor record performance this season has made the 9th All-Star guard Wei Shao suffered crazy criticism, although his wife Nina was indignant, and fought with those doubters on social media, and did everything to maintain, but it seemed to have little effect, and even a bit counterproductive, and some people who were originally silent also joined the army of condemnation of Wei Shao, such as NBA commentator Perkins.
In one of today's shows, Perkins talked about Westbrook. Although he was a teammate during the Thunder period, Wei Shao criticized Wei Shao without mercy, not only saying that Nina's social media voice was completely wrong, but also questioning that Wei Shao's mind was no longer on winning, and what was more, he even said that the Lakers should directly abandon Wei Shao in the next game.
"Wei Shao's mood is obviously a bit broken, I am not referring to his jump shot, but his body language, many times he directly stands still, his body is still in the game, and his spirit has already reached the cloud of nine. As a player, of course you don't want your family to be attacked, but at the same time you have to take care of your own family. I also get a lot of criticism on social media, but I will take care of my family and ask them not to respond. Perkins said.
"Personally, I think Westbrook, as a player, should be prepared for the pressure now that he has accepted the job. He should accept the criticism, not let it affect him. If he can't do it, then the Lakers should simply abandon him in the rest of the game. Perkins continued.
As the outside world at the beginning of the season unanimously optimistic about the big favorite to win the championship, the Lakers have only achieved a record of 28 wins and 36 losses so far, ranking ninth in the West, Wei Shao has played in 63 games, averaging 18.1 points, 7.6 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game, the data looks quite comprehensive, but the overall performance is quite average, the projection is bad, the outside shooting rate is only 28.2%, the organization is poor, and there are as many as 4 mistakes per game...
The Lakers have come to this step today, although there are many reasons, but Wei Shao's sluggish performance is undoubtedly one of the biggest influencing factors, the former regular season MVP fuel tank still has oil, compared to ability, his heart problem is much greater.
How do you change your playing style? How do you position yourself? How to integrate into Vogel's tactical system? Obviously, there was not much time left for Wei Shao to think about these questions.
