"Brotherhood in the NBA!Wei Shao: Not only the heroes on the court, but also the true men in the hearts of teammates!"
Hello everyone, I'm your consulting blogger, and today I'm going to tell you a true and moving story about a hero in the NBA who is not well known to everyone, but is highly regarded among his teammates - Westbrook.
Before we find out that Westbrook is not only a superstar on the field, but also a true hero in the hearts of his teammates, let's take a look at some of his real actions.
Westbrook is known for giving each teammate an iPhone 15 Pro Max, which is simply the ultimate expression of "teammate friendship". I can't help but imagine that if I were his teammate and received such a valuable gift, I would definitely be moved to tears, and then shout loudly: "Wei Shao, you are too ruthless!"
What's even more admirable is that when a newcomer was trapped because of the new crown, Westbrook sent supplies as soon as possible. This is not only a matter of care and care, but also a concrete embodiment of a sense of responsibility. Imagine that the newcomers in the team, who are in trouble in a foreign land, suddenly receive a care from Wei Shao, and the warm feeling must be indescribable.
At the beginning of the article, I want to arouse everyone's curiosity through these real examples. Why did Westbrook become a hero to his teammates?
Fast forward to the moment when Westbrook made history for his triple-double on March 29, 2021. Westbrook's 35 points, 21 assists and 14 rebounds were impressive, but famed commentator A. Smith made an unusual point. He believes that Westbrook, despite his extraordinary stats, has worked with other superstars and still failed to lead the team to a championship. This view has caused widespread controversy, because in the eyes of many, the championship is not the only measure of a star's value.
Westbrook's wife also defended him, saying that in Westbrook's heart, there is more important than a championship, he is a champion in life, a champion in the hearts of his friends. This reminds me of our ordinary people's definition of success, not only external honor, but also inner satisfaction and love for life.
Paul George recalls Westbrook's time with the Thunder, describing him as someone who understands the interests of each of his teammates. Chat with Adams about New Zealand, go fishing with George, and anime with Grant. It's a shame that players are usually only close to a few teammates, but Westbrook is able to form a unique emotional bond with everyone. This kind of tacit understanding and trust cannot be achieved simply by data and technology.
In the middle of the article, we interspersed some details of Westbrook's treatment of his teammates, such as his concern for Reeves, and even being stranded because the latter was infected with the new crown, Westbrook contacted Xiao Li three or four times to send him the items he needed. This kind of sincere friendship makes people sigh that Westbrook is not only a hero on the court, but also a warm man in ordinary life.
Westbrook's concern for Thomas Bryant is also a moving scene. Knowing that he was short of sneakers, Westbrook didn't hesitate to send four pairs. This kind of delicate care makes people see a leader who really cares about his teammates.
As for Lonnie Walker's family, Westbrook would always take the initiative to say hello and invite them to shop or play together. Such a move not only reflects Westbrook's demeanor, but also shows the importance he attaches to the team family.
In this season, Westbrook even took the initiative to apply to come to the bench, handing over the original starting point guard position to the former "third brother". This act of sacrificing personal honor for the sake of the team is a great thing to admire for his leadership and selflessness. Even when he can't play, Westbrook still carefully coaches rookie Kobe Brown on the sidelines, and this kind of patience and patience is exactly what a team needs.
With only 149th in the league in minutes played, every player on the Clippers still doesn't tire of raving Westbrook to the media. This makes one wonder that Westbrook's performance with the Clippers seems to be more focused on team chemistry and success than chasing all-time scoring and three-point records.
Finally, let's focus on one detail. Westbrook didn't even get a triple-double since he came to the Clippers, but his smile became more and more frequent. Watching Harden's 21 points in the final quarter, Westbrook cheered on the sidelines, which may be the best interpretation of his "champion in the hearts of friends". This genuine smile and eagerness to succeed in your teammates is what a true leader should be.
Finally, let's go back to the question at the beginning: why did Westbrook become a hero to his teammates? He's not a star chasing honors, he's a hero who quietly gives to his teammates.
His depth is not only reflected in the stats on the pitch, but also in the genuine camaraderie he has with each of his team-mates. Perhaps, this is the true spirit of basketball, not only about individual achievement, but also about the success of the team and the growth of each player.
Finally, let's think about whether we ordinary people can also be a "champion in the hearts of friends" in our own lives? Maybe we are not professional footballers, but as long as we treat everyone around us with care, support, and encouragement, we can also become champions in our own lives. Isn't it?
