In a previous NBA regular season game, the Los Angeles Clippers, playing at home, defeated the Denver Nuggets 102-100 after a hard-fought battle. After this game, the Clippers' record improved to 48-28 and remained in fourth place in the West, while the Nuggets' record slipped to 53-24 and fell to second place in the West.
In this game, the Clippers' backup veteran Russell Westbrook (Russell Westbrook) still maintained a high level of performance. Wei Shao played 23 minutes and 44 seconds in the game, shooting 4-of-9, 0-of-2 from beyond the three-point line, and 4-of-4 from the free throw line, and scored 12 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 1 block with stable efficiency, and the plus/minus also reached +8. Wei Shao's performance on both offensive and defensive ends can be regarded as very outstanding, he still shows quite good breakthrough ability and finishing ability on the offensive end, creating a lot of damage to the opponent's interior line, his performance in passing and playmaking is still very stable, and he also creates some opportunities for his teammates. Willis is also quite good on the defensive end, and he is also a reliable perimeter defender, and he maintains enough intensity on the defensive end. Overall, Wei Shao's performance at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends is quite outstanding, and the team's situation when he is on the court is also quite good, and the Clippers can win this game, which is also closely related to Wei Shao's efforts.
In this season's NBA regular season, Wei Shao played a total of 64 games for the team, averaging 22.4 minutes per game, averaging 11.1 points, 4.9 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.3 blocks per game, shooting 45.2% from the field, 26.5% from three-point range, and 69.7% from the free throw line. Judging from the situation throughout the season, Wei Shao still maintains a relatively stable offensive efficiency, his shooting percentage is not bad, his role in passing and organization is also relatively obvious, and his effect on the defensive end is also quite good. Aside from the fact that his three-point shooting percentage is really not ideal, his performance in other aspects is commendable, and he is also an indispensable key figure in the team's second team.
In the previous period of Wei Shao's absence, the team's performance was obviously unsatisfactory, and the team's rotation lineup also looked like there were obvious problems, which also greatly affected the overall competitiveness of the team. After Wei Shao's comeback, although he was still affected by a hand injury, which caused his performance to be affected to a certain extent, it can be seen that the impact of his return on the team was immediate. After Wei Shao's return, the team's record in these six games is 4-2, and the Clippers have stopped the downward trend. It looks like Westbrook still plays a vital role with the Clippers, and he's still irreplaceable on the team?
