25.5 seconds before the final, the Lakers trailed the Thunder 101:103.
Westbrook held the ball in the backcourt and took control of the ball near the free throw line without any interference from the Thunder players — say he shot it, right? But the trajectory of the basketball is not going in the direction of the basket; say he passes the ball? But the trajectory of basketball is straight to the bottom line.
To put it bluntly, Wei Shao's operation is what we often call a brainless mistake.
The above is a moment of the Lakers' game against the Thunder on November 5. Thanks to Westbrook's operation, the Lakers eventually lost to their opponents 104:107.
In fact, this season alone, this is not the first time that such a brainless mistake as Westbrook has been seen. If the regular time is fine, after all, the impact on the win or loss is not so great under the game time, but it appears in the final moment of the game as just said, which basically buries the good game of the team.
But even so, I mean not much help to the team, but most of the time it is the existence of side effects, but the Lakers management still did not choose to deal with Westbrook in the middle of the season. Just one sentence: the offseason and Wei Shao chose to break up peacefully.
Now, with the passage of time, there is almost no news about Lake Pipe to trade Westbrook, but more news about trading "thick eyebrows" Anthony Davis.
Put thick eyebrows to stay less?
I think the feasibility is still very large.
From a transaction point of view, because of the poor performance this season and the large contract of more than 40 million, it can be said that the transaction value of Westbrook is not high at this stage, and even to a certain extent, it can be said that there is none.
If the lake pipe chooses to trade Wei Shao at this time, it is bound to build additional chips such as draft picks.
On the other hand, although the season has been up and down a lot plus injuries, given the age of 28 and the fact that it is an inside line, in other words, there are still teams willing to gamble. Seriously, fully healthy thick eyebrows are definitely a rarity in the League.
That is to say, if you really want to trade, the value of thick eyebrows is much greater than that of Wei Shao. Of course, no matter who you trade, it will be the existence of more than 1.
- Yu Wei Shao. Because the value of the transaction is not high, it is necessary to build other chips;
------------------------ Because the transaction value is high, there are not many players who can be exchanged single (even if there is another party, they are not willing to change), so the Lakers can exchange multiple chips;
If the Lakers really follow the idea of putting thick eyebrows and leaving less, in my opinion, it will be another riot operation. Here's why:
From the perspective of age, thick eyebrows are only 28 years old, and Wei Shao is already 33 years old, that is to say, one is at the peak and one is at the end of the peak;
From a positional point of view, thick eyebrows are the inside line, Wei Shao is the point guard, and the inside line is relatively more valuable than the point guard;
From the perspective of adaptation, James with thick eyebrows and absolute core has achieved the ability to win the championship; Wei Shao cannot effectively retrieve the middle shot and no ball, and at this stage, there is no way to coexist with James in the case of the need for ball rights.
The above three points, no matter from which aspect of the lake pipe should be left with thick eyebrows rather than Wei Shao. But who knows the brain circuits of the lake tube? I mean, they've been in trouble more than once in recent seasons.
Two classic examples:
The first, to give up Caruso for Tucker, if you consider the age factor is understandable, but giving the former a contract is an act of playing with fire, after all, Tucker has never proved himself;
The second, in the absence of a front line, is not to operate, but to go against the trend of the league for two consecutive seasons of tun backcourt players;
The above two points, but where the lake pipe is a little better, the Lakers' record in the past three seasons will not be as good as Wang Xiao'er's new year, so that this season is afraid that even the playoffs can not enter.
If the lake pipe insists on going its own way is to let go of the thick eyebrows and leave less, in my opinion, this is to force away the rhythm of James. After all, this season has proved countless times that Zhan Wei is not compatible, but Zhan Mei has already won the championship.
