On March 24, Beijing time, when James hung up the exemption card due to injury, the Lakers will have no suspense to lose to Philadelphia led by Embiid and Harden. The Lakers played an extremely tenacious performance, even if Wei Shao continued to play iron in the first half of 8 of 2, but in the third quarter, he scored 2 of 3 points in the single quarter, and repeatedly approached the score with an offensive pass performance to lead the Lakers to a 14-point trail. Although the Lakers continued to fight back in the last quarter or regrettably lost to Philadelphia, Wei Shao contributed a quasi-triple-double data of 24+9+8+7 mistakes, leading the Lakers to play a team offensive of 4 people and 20+, and the tenacious performance of the team is still worthy of praise.
It is worth mentioning that Westbrook created a number of milestone feats in this field:
First, Westbrook broke the 7,000-time free throw milestone in the regular season of his career, becoming the 32nd player in history to reach 7,000 free throws, the previous being Reggie Miller's 7,026 free throws, and the fifth in the current game only lost to James, Harden, Anthony and Durant.
Second, Westbrook's career regular season total scores have surpassed Lakers legend Elgin Baylor with 23,149 points, and The Flash Wade's 23,165 points to rise to the 31st place in the NBA's all-time scoring list, the previous one is the previous Dantley 23,177 points. Westbrook ranks 5th in total points on the job, behind James, Anthony, Durant and Harden.
Due to James's absence due to injury, the outside world is naturally generally looking down on the Lakers, and it seems that the biggest attraction is whether Wei Shao can go on a rampage again. In the previous 3 games, Wei Shao seemed to be reborn, since he hit the amazing three points, Wei Shao continued to play a highlight performance, becoming the key to the Lakers' recovery.
It's just that now Westbrook is facing a showdown with Philadelphia, especially in the face of a showdown with Harden, the two have twice become the core of the backcourt of teammates, and there is no doubt that both of them are miserable in the first half. Wei Shao only got 4+4+4 data in the first half of 8 out of 2, but frantically sent 5 mistakes, and was constantly mistaken on the court, resulting in the Lakers being overtaken at halftime. As for Harden, he also performed badly, scoring 5+3+4 on 20 of 10 in the first half, but the strength of Wester was that Harden did not make a single mistake in the half.
In the second half, the Lakers were suppressed by Philadelphia and fell behind the double-digit gap, but Wei Shao led the Lakers to start a crazy counterattack. Throughout the third quarter of the game, Wei Shao, who was 0 of 2 of three points in the first half, suddenly found a crosshair, he dedicated 2 of 3 points in a single quarter, and also activated the Lakers team offensive with the help of organizing passes, so that the third quarter was 39 points, and the single quarter was 39-32 net wins of 7 points, helping the Lakers chase only 2 points in the first three quarters. It was only this quarter that Westbrook was fouled on Embiid's defense, and he expressed his dissatisfaction after suffering a technical foul at one point.
However, the Lakers continued to stubbornly bite the score in the last quarter, especially when there were only 3 points left in 104-107 with 5 and a half minutes left, but Philadelphia blossomed inside and outside to reopen the score. Wei Shao continued to frantically attack the inside line to chase points, and his personal score increased to 20+, which also continued to help the Lakers retain hope. However, Wei Shao's powerful performance still failed to stop the Lakers from losing to Philadelphia, and the Lakers' advantage over the Pelicans was only halfway, and the Spurs, who were 11th in the West, only had a half-court advantage.
