On April 1, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season is in full swing. In today's Western Conference Focus game, the Lakers traveled to the road to challenge the Jazz. In today's game, James continues to be absent due to injury, and Davis will most likely return tomorrow, so today the Lakers can only be led by Westbrook alone again.
Westbrook got into shape early today, and he quickly hit his first shot of the day, and then he hit it again. Before the end of the quarter, Wei Shao hit the board from mid-range and hit the whistle shot! In the first quarter alone, Westbrook scored six points on 3-of-5 shooting and delivered two assists, and the Lakers trailed the Jazz 28-34.
After entering the second quarter of the game, Westbrook's shot was still good, and he hit a shot from mid-range near the free throw line, and hit the shot again in the first quarter from the position of the whistle shot. In addition, Westbrook also caused several fouls to stand on the free throw line. In this quarter, Westbrook had 6 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists on 2-of-3 shooting, including 2-of-4 free throws!
At the start of the third quarter, Westbrook stepped up his personal attack, first shooting from mid-range, then consecutive attacks to the basket, including one goal that was 2+1. Before the end of the quarter, Wei Shaoqiang attacked the basket and caused two fouls to shoot, scoring 9 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist in the single quarter, but the Lakers trailed the Jazz 85:99 after the third quarter.
In the final quarter of the game, Wei Shao's hand felt declining, only 1 of 3 shots to get 2 points and 2 assists, and finally failed to reverse, helpless to swallow another defeat.
In the end, the Lakers lost to the Jazz 109-122, and Wei Shao played 34 minutes today, shooting 9 of 18, including 0 of 2 three-pointers and 6 of 10 free throws, totaling 24 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 turnovers, plus-minus -17 lowest on the team. It is worth mentioning that in this season's James and Davis truce, Wei Shao led the team alone, the Lakers recorded 0 wins and 5 losses.
According to the schedule, the Lakers will return home tomorrow to meet the Pelicans, and they will fight to avoid a 5-game losing streak!
