As LeBron's 30 points per game become the number one in the league's scoring list, the outside world seems to have a better evaluation of the old King, after all, he scored a high score after the Lakers can win. After the All-Star Game, James won two 50+ games, and Tucker won both games in absentia, which confirmed that the Lakers really rely too much on James and Tucker. Of course, this also makes everyone ignore the comeback of the Turtles in the recent game.
Against the Cavaliers, Westbrook 7 of 14, 6 of 3-pointers, 20 points, 11 assists, 4 rebounds, 1 steal, 1 turnover, 50% shooting percentage, 23 points on the field, the first place in the team, an assist in the last quarter Gabriel 2+1, an assist stanley layup to help the Lakers stabilize the win, A turtle is obviously beginning to find a way to integrate with the team.
In the past three games, Wei Shao averaged 21.3 points, 8 rebounds and 9.7 assists per game, shooting 53.2% from the field, shooting 50% from three-point range (8 of 16), and winning by 29 points on the court.
If you want to say why the Turtles can have such a change, it starts with the three points against the Raptors.
Lakers VS Raptors in the last quarter, the Lakers lagged behind the three-point Raptors ball authority less than completed the steal after a dragon retreated three points completely flat, and then Wei Shao defended the opponent's empty pick-up kill into overtime, overtime Lakers finally won, this ball after Wei Shao obviously established self-confidence, even in the game reversed by the Wizards He also contributed 22 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists, shooting a shooting rate of 66.7%. (Against the Wizards, if Vogel had used Howard, he wouldn't have been reversed by 16 points.)
Westbrook's data in key moments is actually not as bad as imagined, with a key moment shooting rate of 45% point guard fourth, assists 0.8 point guards first, rebounds 1 point guard first, steals 0.1 point guard seventh, there are two data are point guard first existence.
In addition, Westbrook scored 86 points in 41 key moment games, which is not too bad, Reggie scored 99 points in 33 key moment games, but Westbrook did not have much ball at key moments.
Unfortunately, Redick still shelled Wei Shao, he said: he is difficult to partner with LeBron, both need a lot of ball rights, LeBron dominates the offense he needs players who can project three points, Westbrook has not been good at three points, this season is like this, the biggest problem of this Lakers is still in Westbrook.
