On March 12, Beijing time, the Lakers, who had previously lost the first rocket in the West, ushered in the challenge of the Wizards of the Eastern Conference this time, at this time, the team's big player Anthony still has not returned, and the players that the Lakers can rely on are Still James and Westbrook. In this game, James once again played the true color of a superstar, once again cut 50 points to lead the team to victory, which once again made staples Arena sound the slogan of MVP. However, a detail in the game has made many Lakers fans chill, and this is also related to James and Wei Shao.
The game went to the end of the second quarter, at this moment the Lakers and Wizards' score was tied, and James tried his best to directly hit Neto's layup in a defensive round, which was also the best time for the Lakers to open a counter-offensive horn, but Wei Shao wasted this opportunity. Because Wei Shao rushed directly to the front court after receiving the ball at that time and wanted to directly go to the basket through his speed advantage, the Wizards players did not expect that James could play the big hat, and at the same time, he was not as fast as Wei Shao, but Wei Shao missed the layup when facing almost empty baskets.
And at that time, the Lakers' players had almost taken the offensive position, and Anthony had even been waiting for a pass in the bottom corner to shoot three points, but the red-eyed Wei Shao chose to make his own basket as if he did not see other teammates. To know that Wei Shao's own basket feel is not good, he does not enter the empty basket is not a thing once or twice, but if this is the usual empty basket does not enter is nothing, this time is the best moment to improve morale, Wei Shao this empty basket is likely to directly affect the morale of other Players in the Lakers.
It can be clearly seen that James was also very angry at that time, although he did not blame Wei Shao, but we can also see from James's eyes and expressions that he is dissatisfied with Wei Shao. The reason why the Lakers can win this game is because of James's own heroic performance, he cut 50 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists in the whole game, while Wei Shao is only 5 points, 3 rebounds and 9 assists, don't look at Wei Shao's assists a lot, his role for the Lakers is minimal.
I have to say that as long as James enters the scoring mode, his rebounds and assists will be relatively reduced, but his scoring ability and defensive ability will be greatly improved, which is the best embodiment of full strength. At the same time, James's situation is also a little problematic, because James is no longer young after all, he can't get 50 points every game, if the Lakers can only win when James gets 50 points, then the Lakers team is doomed to not go far in the playoffs.
Here I have to mention that the original deal for Wei Shao, the Lakers really did something wrong in this deal, they gave so many high-quality role players to the Wizards in exchange for Wei Shao, such a player who wants nothing, which completely put the Lakers in a dilemma. The current Westbrook is not a player worth 40 million a year at all, and his role is not even as good as a rookie. And James has repeatedly cut high scores to lead the team to win in order to be able to let the Lakers enter the playoffs, so that James's career will be shortened, which is really not worth the loss.
I don't know if you have any other views and opinions on this matter? Feel free to comment below.
