On April 13, Beijing time, according to the Lakers and team name Kyle Goon, Wei Shao was strongly dissatisfied with the title of "Westbrick (Tiewei)".
The Lakers have missed the playoffs, and Westbrook has ushered in his own vacation. And this offseason, he is also facing another career choice, whether to stay in the Lakers, or choose to leave, he needs to make a decision.
In this season of the Lakers, Wei Shao naturally did not have a good time, he was scolded the most in his career, and he was also mocked by Westbrick (Tie Wei).
For this nickname, Wei Shao was quite dissatisfied. He very much dislikes that his name has been maliciously tampered with. He has said privately that he does not know which other player in the NBA has seen his name changed to an ironic nickname.
In fact, however, James was also dubbed "Le-GM" by fans, and Davis was mocked as "Day-to-Davis" for spitting on him as a glass man.
However, Wei Shao did not want to admit this, but thought that only he was targeted. Kyle Goon also said, "Westbrook often confuses criticism of his game with comments about other parts of his life, and as a player with a big contract in hand, people want you to win." He was more obsessed with the feeling that he had been wronged, that he had never been given a chance. ”
Indeed, at the season summary press conference, Westbrook expressed his dissatisfaction, "When I first came to the Lakers team, I didn't get a fair chance to be myself and help the team get better, I had to prove myself again, it was unfair." ”
From this point of view, Wei Shao's continued stay in the Lakers is probably a kind of torture for himself. But with a salary of more than $47 million in the final year, is he willing to give it up? Perhaps Westbrook will also push the offseason to be traded out of the team, and for him, this is probably the best ending.
