On March 19, Beijing time, Russell Westbrook hit a key three-pointer in regular time today, helping the Lakers drag the game into overtime, and finally staged a comeback scene. Wei Shao, who has always been not good at long-range shooting, actually always has excellent performance at key moments, and the data proves that he has the characteristics of a big heart.
Statistics show that since the 2008-09 season, in the fourth quarter or overtime hit the total number of key goals, Westbrook ranked first in the league, and he has scored a total of 53 points to beat the second-place Damian Lillard. Another Lakers player on this list, LeBron James, is in third place with 51 points, while former Westbrook teammate Kevin Durant scored 51 points on key goals, tied for third with James.
More accurate data shows that the three-point shot that Westbrook hit today was the ninth time in his career that he hit a long-range shot with less than 5 seconds left in the fourth quarter or overtime. Over the past 25 seasons, Westbrook has tied Kobe Bryant as the second-most shot in history at this critical stage, with NBA star Vince Carter in first place, who has hit 12 key three-pointers.
Although Wei Shao's three-point shooting rate this season is only 27.7%, and the career three-point shooting rate is just over 30%, as long as he still dares to believe in himself at the critical moment, even if the front shot is not sticky, the big heart of Wei Shao is also trustworthy.
