Detailed explanation: Wei Shao's team change creates a win-win: the Lakers' upgrade record soars + the Clippers make up for the shortcomings and I have achieved redemption

On April 6, Beijing time, when Wei Shao changed from a Lakers player to a Clippers player, his overall data did not change much, but his role positioning was completely different. Wei Shao now only plays 21 minutes to contribute 14 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 block all-round data, even if the final quarter is hidden again, but helped the Clippers refuse to defeat the Lakers by 24 points, but also let the Lakers against the Clippers 11 consecutive losses curse continue. Wei Shao's fate change is quite wonderful, he also created a win-win situation, greatly improved the Lakers' upgrade record, allowed the Clippers to get a strong guard to make up for their shortcomings, and also let him out of trouble and ushered in redemption.

Lakers: After the end of Jamewei's incompatible combination, the Lakers' upgrade record has improved significantly

Since Wei Shao joined the Lakers through a trade in the summer of 2021, the Big Three combination formed by him and James Mei has been infinitely expected, and even before the start of the season, public opinion believed that the Lakers were expected to reach the Finals and compete with the Nets' Big Three.

However, fate made the big three of James Mei fail to succeed, not only the two core of James Mei were injured one after another last season, but also the incompatibility between Wei Shao and Zhan Mei, and there was a contradiction with former coach Vogel, resulting in the Lakers not only missing the playoffs last season, but even missing the playoffs.

As for the first half of this season, the Lakers not only started 2-10, but also ranked third from bottom in the West for a long time. Fortunately, the Lakers traded for the mid-season to send away Wilson, as well as players such as Beverley and Bryant, and brought in players such as Russell, Hachimura, Vanderbilt and Beasley. Russell's ability to shoot and pass is compatible with James, and several new signings have greatly improved the Lakers' outside three-point shooting ability, greatly improving the combat effectiveness of the new version of the Lakers.

Even if the Lakers lose the derby with the Clippers again, they have lost 11 consecutive games in the Los Angeles derby, which is a good opportunity to rise to fifth place in the West, but their current record of 41-39 is still more than 5 percent of wins. The Lakers are still ranked 7th in the West, 1 win away from the Clippers and Warriors in front of them 42-38, there is still hope of counterattacking the top six in the West, and have locked the top ten spots in the West, naturally thanks to Wei Shao's departure to indirectly "help" the Lakers counterattack.

Clippers: Introducing Wei Shao to strengthen the No. 1 short board, partner Ka Pepper once again to the championship

Although the Clippers have two superstars, Peppercorn, they have always been a shortcoming at the No. 1 point guard position. Reggie once became a Clippers superhero in the playoffs, but his characteristics are more of a chaotic master, and Wall, who has been brought in this season, has various problems. The Clippers chose to send Reggie and Wall away mid-season, and the introduction of Wilson became a key addition to their No. 1 pick.

Although Wei Shao lost all his first five games with the Clippers, and in the 19 games he has played for the Clippers so far, only 9-10 is less than 5 percent win rate, which does not seem to be a very good result. However, the Clippers are still suffering from the impact of George's injury, coupled with Leonard's frequent rotation and other factors, so the blame for the unsatisfactory record cannot be attributed to Wilson.

What's more, compared with the predecessors Reggie and Wall, the joining of Wei Shao is naturally a shortcoming that improves the Clippers No. 1 position. Wei Shao's impact on the offensive end is stronger, only projection is Wei Shao's shortcoming, but Wei Shao's organizational skills are also better, and his fighting spirit and professional attitude on the field have always been well known.

The biggest hidden danger for the Clippers today is George's injury, according to previous US media reports, George has been reimbursed for the regular season, and the playoffs are expected to wait until the second round at the earliest. Under such circumstances, whether Wei Shao and Leonard can lead the team to the second round of the playoffs is undoubtedly the biggest question. Once the Clippers can advance to the second round to welcome George's comeback, there is undoubtedly a possibility of reaching the championship.

Wei Shao: From "high salary and low energy" to "low salary and high energy", the role change welcomes redemption

Wei Shao's performance against the old Lakers is extremely comprehensive now, even if she only played 21 minutes in the whole game, especially in the final quarter. However, Wei Shao shot 6 of 12 in a limited time, including 2 of 4 from the outside, contributed 14 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, scored in front of James many times, and became one of the important contributors to the Clippers' victory.

Wei Shao switched from the Lakers to the Clippers, his statistics have not changed much, this season during the Lakers time in 15.9 points, 6.2 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game, during the Clippers time average 15.2 points, 4.8 rebounds and 7.8 assists per game. It's just that Wei Shao has been repeatedly criticized in Wei Shao, but there are only a few voices questioned in the Clippers, and there are even many voices praising Wei Shao.

The reversal of Wei Shaofeng is not surprising, he is the highest-paid player on the team with $47.06 million in the Lakers, even higher than James and thick eyebrows, but his presence is one of the important factors in the Lakers' long-term ranking in the bottom three in the West. On the other hand, after Wei Shao reached a buyout agreement with the Jazz, he only signed the Clippers for $780,000, so the basic salary Wei Shao can also average close to 15+5+8 data output per game, which is naturally an absolute low salary and high energy.

Wei Shao was transformed into a sixth man in the Lakers, but he still can't save the Lakers, but he returns to the starting lineup with the Clippers, and Tyronn Lue will also focus on the use of Wei Shao. Wei Shao will be hidden in the snow at the end of many games or at key moments, and now Wei Shao has been able to face such a role change calmly, and actively cheer for his teammates off the court, which is also an important puzzle piece to become a championship for the Clippers.

The way Wei Shao plays has not changed, his position on the field has changed, and his mentality has changed. More importantly, the Lakers, Clippers and Westbrooks are all three parties to obtain benefits to achieve a "win-win-win situation", which is the key. As for the open and dark battle between the Lakers and the Clippers, and Wei Shao's journey is still on the way, I look forward to them continuing to bring more surprises to fans.
