In the NBA Los Angeles city derby on March 4, Los Angeles Clippers player Reggie Jackson faced the defense of Los Angeles Lakers player Westbrook, he defiantly raised his foot and then a large cross-direction breakthrough, Westbrook wanted to keep up with his footsteps but his body did not listen to the brain's command, in order to avoid embarrassment he subconsciously tripped up Reggie Jackson with his foot, the referee foul whistle sounded, Reggie Jackson roared like a victor with his head held high, This angered Westbrook, he immediately began to talk about something, Reggie Jackson turned his back on him completely ignored, the next offensive round, again facing Westbrook's defense, Zubac blocked for Jackson, he threw off Westbrook's defense, and then shot a three-pointer against LeBron James's cover, after scoring he turned his head again and roared with excitement and revenge, this is what he has been pursuing all his life, he is to prove that he is better than Vivibrook!
We turned on the machine of the robot cat back to the 2011 draft meeting, that year's draft was a high-quality big year, the birth of Kyrie Irving, Klay Thompson, Kowhi Leonard, Kemba Walker, Vucevic and many other All-Star players, Reggie Jackson was selected by the Oklahoma Thunder with the 24th pick in the first round, at this time Durant, Westbrook, Harden have formed a shocking Thunder three, Westbrook is the team's main point guard, The old fish Fisher and Jack Jackson shared the bench time together, and when Fisher left in the 12th-13 season, Reggie Jackson became the team's first backup point guard, and the number of appearances increased from 45 to 70 in the rookie season, and in the 13-14 season, Westbrook suffered injuries and only played 46 games, when Reggie Jackson successfully became the team's main point guard, and at the end of the season with The return of Westbrook, Reggie immediately gave up the main position. In the first round of the playoffs, the Thunder as the second seed in the West trailed the seventh-placed Grizzlies in the West 1-2, in the most critical fourth game, Durant and Westbrook combined to score only 30 points on 11-of-45 shooting, while the substitute Reggie scored a game-high 32 points, leading the Thunder to a three-point victory to equalize the total score, and when it came to the Western Conference Finals against the San Antonio Spurs, the Thunder were first 0-2 behind, and Brooks, who was the manager of the Thunder at the time, changed the lineup decisively, and he once again raised Reggie Jackson to the starting position. The change immediately paid off, with the Thunder winning two innings in a row, and although they were still losing to the Spurs, he Reggie Jackson did a very good job, and the Spurs defeated the Miami Heat Big Three 4-1 in the following finals that year to win the championship.
A player who doesn't want to be a superstar is not a good player, and at the season-ending wrap-up meeting, Reggie Jackson said his true thoughts in front of all the reporters: "I don't want to lie, I want to be a starter." Later he printed the starting point guard logo on his shoes, a player wants to get a higher team status is understandable, because this involves the vital interests of earning more salary in the future, but he is uneasy about doing the substitute challenge is the status of the team's star Westbrook, the team has thought of a solution, the head coach wants to change Reggie Jackson to a shooting guard to coexist with Westbrook, but this transformation failed, both need a lot of ball power to play the power, Once the seeds of contradiction are planted and take root, sooner or later it will hurt the foundation of the team, the gap between Westbrook and Reggie Jackson is getting deeper and deeper, Westbrook as the old nature of the team is supported by everyone, Durant's relationship with Westbrook at that time was still very iron, Reggie Jackson was naturally isolated, he refused the Contract Renewal Negotiations of the Thunder, in a deal in the middle of the season, Reggie Jackson and Perkins were traded, Reggie Jackson went to the Detroit Pistons, Both Durant and Westbrook sent farewell greetings to Perkins, but said nothing about Reggie Jackson, who said in an interview after the deal: "We have a chance to win the championship, and even though Reggie Jackson is not here, we still have a chance to win the championship." "The contradiction between the two sides became an open fact.
When Reggie Jackson returned to Oklahoma City as a Pistons player that season, the hilarious media deliberately created a topic before the game, and they interviewed Westbrook and said: "Reggie Jackson is back in Oklahoma, how are you going to limit him tonight?" ”
Wesbrukoo pretended to be confused and replied, "Who?" ”
The reporter stressed it again: "Reggie Jackson. ”
Wesblick pretended to ask again, "What?" ”
His slightly arrogant attitude escalated the contradictions between the two again.
Since then, every encounter between the two has been a real knife and gun contest full of gunpowder, in the final stage of the 15-16 regular season, when the Thunder have been stable in the third place in the West, for the playoffs to consider that they took a rotation of Durant, Ibaka and other main players, but when facing the Detroit Pistons, Westbrook still chose to face Reggie Jackson head-on, in that game, Reggie Jackson played well, the Detroit Pistons led by a large score before the end of the game, Reggie Jackson proudly began to celebrate in advance, which angered Westbrook, The two sides engaged in a verbal battle after the match.
Reggie Jackson won the coveted main position in the Detroit Pistons, and also won a big contract of 5 years and 80 million, he has been trying to prove that he is better than Westbrook, sadly everything did not go as planned, after the detroit Pistons' first season of outstanding performances, then his ankle was plagued by injuries, in 2016-2018 only played half of the game, injuries seriously hindered his state of play, until he finally returned from injury, the Detroit Pistons began a complete rebuild, They disposed of Drummond at a low price, and bought out Reggie Jackson in February 2020, when the los Angeles Clippers, who were tightly glued to salary space, had been suppressed by the Los Angeles Lakers in the trading market, and their signing of Reggie Jackson also belonged to a scratch lottery operation, and the final lottery scraped out a huge prize, the Los Angeles Clippers gained a core player in the point guard position, last year he played extremely steadily, the most impressive performance was in the fifth game of the second round of the playoffs, He went on a series of attacks on the basket of the defensive player of the year Rudy Gobert, scoring 12 consecutive points in the final moments, leading the team to win the crucial Battle of King Mountain, and at one point in the sixth game, the team fell behind by 25 points, and when everyone decided that the game of the seventh game would happen, the team under the leadership of Reggie Jackson, Terransman and George united to achieve an epic reversal, and they reached the Western Conference Finals for the first time in the absence of the main core Leonard.
This season Reggie Jackson has once again become the thigh of the team, wearing glasses he is as powerful as the laser eye in the X-Men, leading the team alone to maintain a place in the Playoffs in the case of the long absence of Paul George and Leonard, the most important thing is that they swept the city's sworn enemy los Angeles Lakers 4-0 this season, and the Lakers recruited his lifelong enemy Westbrook this season, which is a hearty revenge, as far as the current situation is concerned, the Clippers and Lakers will participate in the playoffs. They may still have a chance to play, and the feud between Reggie Jackson and Westbrook will go on forever.
