On March 22, Beijing time, the NBA regular season game continued to compete, and the Los Angeles Lakers came to Cleveland to challenge James's old club, the Cavaliers. After the start of the game, the Cavaliers used the rotation of Garland, Markkanen and Mobley to establish a double-digit lead in the first half of the game. However, under the leadership of James and Westbrook, the lakers who fought back began to enter the offensive mode of all the people, and finally, with James's 38+11+12 large triple-double data, the lakers who fought away defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 131-120 and finally won a hearty victory.
There is no doubt that James, who has returned to Cleveland, is naturally the protagonist of the night. According to US media reports, the Cavaliers sold all the tickets for this game, and these fans want to come to the stadium to watch James's personal performance show up close, after all, in the last game against the Wizards, James just completed the surpassing of Carl Malone, sitting alone in the second place in the NBA's regular season scoring list. However, in this game, Wei Shao, who has been in hot form recently, still maintains a very competitive state, and in the 35 minutes of playing time, Wei Shao shot 7 of 14, including 6 of 2 three-pointers, and got 20 points, 4 rebounds and 11 assists. It is worth mentioning that the plus-minus value of Wei Shao in this game is as high as +23, ranking the highest in the whole game.
In the previous period, Wei Shao once lost himself, so many Los Angeles fans once regarded Wei Shao with a high-salary contract of 44.21 million as a tumor of the team, and many fans hoped that Lakers general manager Pelinka could send Wei Shao away during the previous trading period to exchange more immediate combat power for the Lakers, but in the end, after the trading door was closed, Wei Shao remained in the team. After frequently playing a sluggish performance, Wei Shao's name has been listed on the hot search list of American social media countless times, and some radical fans have even directly issued "death threats" to Wei Shao's family, and for the various acts of fans, Wei Shao can only helplessly pray that they will not harass their families.
However, in this game, we seem to see a shadow of The Thunder period Wei Shao, on the offensive end, he can still go full speed, using the way to break through the score to find teammates who are ambushed in the empty position, the whole game, Wei Shao sent a total of 11 assists for his teammates, and the most pleasing thing for the fans is that the chemistry between Wei Shao and James seems to be getting better and better, when James cuts into the heart of the box, Wei Shao can often understand and send accurate and wonderful passes for James in the middle of the journey. On the scoring end, Wei Shao once again showed his unique skills in this game - back-up golden rooster independence. As we all know, the Golden Rooster independence is the master of the former Mavericks star Nowitzki, but on the basis of Nowitzki, the guard Wei Shao has made further improvements, although in the process of reclining, Wei Shao's shooting field is not as wide as Nowitzki, but his side playing board end is also a major spectacle in the NBA league.
Previously, many American sports media have believed that Wei Shao, who is difficult to integrate into the Lakers' tactical system, will definitely leave the Lakers this summer to join a team that is more suitable for himself, but after Wei Shao gradually adapted to the Lakers system, Wei Shao's state has been very good in recent times, and since he invested in that key three-pointer, Wei Shao has obviously regained his confidence. If Westbrook can extend this efficient competitive state until the end of the season, will the Lakers still choose to send Westbrook away this summer?
