On March 11, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season continued. In a Western Focus game yesterday, the Lakers lost 130-139 to the Rockets in overtime. After suffering two consecutive defeats, the record became 28 wins and 37 losses, ranking only 9th in the West.
In this game, Westbrook scored 30 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists. His career total scores exceeded 23,000, ranking 5th among active players. At the same time, Westbrook also became the third player in the NBA to get at least 23,000 points, 7,000 rebounds and 7,000 assists, behind James and Big O Robertson.
In recent times, Westbrook has been in a lot of trouble, including confrontation with fans, and he bluntly says that he does not like others to tamper with his name. Earlier in the day, Warriors star Curry publicly endorsed Westbrook, saying, "I talked to Westbrook when I was in Los Angeles a few days ago. I respect everything he's done over the year, including everything he's said, and the way he treats himself and protects his family. Protecting your family is the nature of beasts, in a sense, they first exalt you and then directly attack you to the bottom. Players who have achieved great things in the league know what that means. Westbrook is a real professional player and I'm proud of the way he behaves and I'll always support him. ”
Curry then continued: "From the fan's point of view, this attack on Westbrook's name is too far-fetched and too ridiculous, because it is beyond the level of basketball, and we play on the court because of basketball. All in all, you have to do what you have to do to speak up for yourself. At the same time, understand that players who know what has happened in the league will respect a player like Wei Shao, and I absolutely support Wei Shao! ”
It has to be said that as an opponent for many years, it is not easy for Curry to stand up and support Wei Shao at this time. Aside from the All-Star Game, the two have never been teammates in the NBA. Because of this, Curry's righteous words are particularly rare, and this also highlights Curry's character.
