The first playoff substitute in his career, the first expulsion, and even more contrary to the sky, in the playoffs, the ball usage rate ranked first on the team, but the shooting percentage was the first from the bottom. In the playoffs, he averaged 19 minutes per game, took 8.3 shots, scored 6.3 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.7 assists, shot 26% from the field and 23.5% from three-point range. The former MVP, the historical triple-double king, Wei Shao's performance now has become the object of verbal criticism and cynicism from the media and keyboard warriors.

However, this does not seem to come as a surprise at all.

The disastrous shooting percentage in the playoffs is not something that a championship team can accept. The league's style of play is more and more dependent on projection, and the flaws of Wei Shao will be put bigger and bigger. Wei Shao is a superstar, but superstars must speak with strength after all.

In the face of these, Wei Shao's eyes are resolute and excited, to be strong is the characteristic of every man, G6 game, Wei Shao looked at the game bar that was powerless to return to the sky on the bench, staring at the opposite side with laughter, everyone was beaming with joy and laughter. When the final whistle blew, this great player who will enter the Hall of Fame in the future was left with a familiar and unfamiliar back to the outside world. People are always forgetful, as if everyone has forgotten that Westbrook, who is the MVP, assist leader, and scoring champion, has played 13 times in the playoffs and has never been able to lift even one O'Brien Trophy.

In the star-studded NBA, only one of the 30 teams will win the championship. If you want to win the championship, it's not enough to do your best, you have to have enough strength and luck, and the current Wei Shao just lacks the latter two. Wei Shao has hard work and desire to win, but these things are useless in competitive sports. Competitive sports rely on strength to speak, don't talk about spiritual dedication, that's all! Even if Wei Shao has a good spirit, no matter how high his fighting spirit is, it is useless. broke through the cover, couldn't shoot, the opponent put him 3 meters away, and dragged down the team's space on the field...... These things can't be solved, in today's small-ball era dominated by shooting, coupled with the increase in one's own age, the ability to break through and finish has to decline. Even with a base salary, Wei Shao's performance on the field will still be teased and even ridiculed by others, even if he is helpless, he is helpless, this is Russell Westbrook today.

Sometimes I think about it, Wei Shao's current situation is not exactly what happens to every middle-aged man in crisis. As the age increases, the ability declines, the company dislikes it in various ways, and the boss is ready to recruit new people to replace him. And he occasionally wants to show off his old qualifications and gain the respect of young people, but he doesn't want this to be his time. Every period of time has the scenery of each period of time, when will Wei Shao learn to lie flat and rot?

Perhaps, he will never choose to lie flat and swing rotten.

Willis attended Lucinger High School and has three jerseys in the arena belonging to Dorrell Wright, Kelsey Bars and Westbrook. Wright recalled his high school experience and commented on Wei Shao at that time: "He was too small, although he played very tough and relied on his body, but he was too small!" At that time, Kelsey Bars was already the No. 1 high school student in the United States, and Wei Shao was just an ordinary player who was not well-known and no one paid attention to. But Bars didn't look down on Wei Shao at all, he encouraged Wei Shao, took him to train with him, and taught him basketball skills. The two vowed to make an agreement to make it to lUCLA together and then rule the NBA together. But the unexpected happened, and on May 12, the American high school student suffered a heart attack during a game and collapsed on the basketball court forever.

Later, Wright and Wei Shao both successfully entered the NBA, and what allowed Wei Shao to complete the transformation from an ordinary player to an elite player, in addition to the soaring height, was Kelsey's unexpected death. After Kelsey's death, Westbrook said that he would play with Kelsey's efforts and live with Kelsey's spirit. Some media described Wei Shao as this, on the day Kelsey died, Wei Shao grew from a boy to a man in an instant.  In his junior year of high school, Wei Shao averaged 25.1 points, 8.7 rebounds, 3.1 steals and 2.3 assists per game, leading the team to create the best record in school history with 25 wins and 4 losses, and reached the semifinals of the Southern Division of the California League. In the end, with this year's amazing performance, Wei Shao was able to successfully enter UCLA and complete the agreement between the two. Today, Wei Shao has not forgotten his original intention, and still treats Kelsey's family like his own. Before each game, he wears two wristbands carefully, with his motto "Why not" written on his left hand and Kelsey's name "KB3" written on his right hand. In honor of his friend, he also said that he would always carry Kelsey's efforts. Every year on May 12th, Wei Shao will also post a message to commemorate his friends. "I love your brother, and your spirit lives on." Wei Shao wrote today.

With this spirit, Wei Shao has played countless exciting and heart-wrenching games in the NBA. As Curry said, Westbrook's fighting spirit is a rare art in today's league. People really seem to forget that he is the triple double king of history. This man who is now blackened to the point of being completely skinless has also single-handedly changed his life against the sky to create an impossible triple pair of divine skills, and in the 16-17 season, in the endless doubts, Wei Danhe led the team to carry a city alone. 42 triple-doubles in the season, averaging triple-doubles per game in the season, breaking the single-season triple-double record of Big O and becoming the first person in NBA history. But even so, it is really difficult to become the king of the triple. Above him, there is Kidd, Magic Johnson, and the big O on the throne, and there is a damnation between him. No one thinks that he can make history and surpass these famous gods, but Wei Shao slapped everyone in the face with hard power. 3 In the second season and the third season, Wei Shao averaged a triple-double per game in a row, becoming the first god in NBA history to average a triple-double per game for three consecutive seasons. Even so, he was never able to lead the Thunder to the next level. Even if George comes, even if the Thunder form a new Big Three, they will never see the light of day to win the championship.

In the summer of 2019, the Thunder, who wanted to rebuild, traded away, and the persistence of one person and one city came to naught. Wei Shao left the Thunder, where he played for 11 years, and went to the Houston Rockets. Wei Shao Harden's former second brother and third brother reunited, but they were not as happy as they imagined.

In the Houston Rockets, Wei Shao was just an assistant to Harden and did not get the treatment that a superstar deserves. But Wei Shao is not angry about this, all he wants is a championship ring. But the rocket still lost after all, defeated by the extreme five small, defeated by the deformity of the lineup. Playing brother basketball together, I am afraid that it is impossible to win the championship in my lifetime.

In order to realize his championship dream, Wei Shao came to the Wizards from the Rockets, where he found himself. With an average of triple-doubles per game in the season, and four seasons in five years, Wei Shao once again refreshed history, with 182 triple-doubles in his career, Wei Shao surpassed the NBA legend Big O and became the NBA all-time triple-double king. The king of triple-doubles, it's harder than winning the championship.

But for Wei Shao, these are not enough, he wants to win the championship, he has to be the first. In pursuit of the championship he dreamed of, he left the Washington Wizards who loved him and went to Los Angeles to join the Lakers and join James Bush. James and Davis personally recruited him, hoping that he would become a Laker. As an Angelenos who was born in Long Beach, California, less than 40 kilometers from downtown Los Angeles, and attended college at UCLA, it was an invitation he couldn't refuse. At that time, he thought he had been given the opportunity to fulfill his lifelong dream, and he had the opportunity to fulfill his dream of hitting the championship in his hometown.

However, this is just a dream. The reality is much tougher than he imagined, the Lakers' Big Three have never been able to find a tacit understanding, and in the 44 games played by Wei Shao, James and Thick Eyebrows, the Lakers' record is 22-22, which is obviously not ideal. Fueled by the media, Wei Shao became the culprit of the Lakers' poor record and their inability to even enter the playoffs. The Lakers' backblower was eventually traded by the Lakers to the Jazz, who then cut Willow and sent him to the Los Angeles Clippers, where he had his good brother Paul George.

In the two seasons of the Clippers, Wei Shao was respected by the fans, and everything was slowly getting better. After Harden arrived, he took the initiative to ask for a substitute, off the court he will try to cheer for his teammates who are fighting the court, on the court, he tried his best to grab every rebound, carefully defend every opponent, in the twilight of his career, Wei Shao seems to have found the joy of basketball.

But fate likes to play tricks on people, and God has never favored this guy who has done everything for his dreams. Leonard, the core of the Clippers, was injured again, and Wei Shao wanted to do something for the Clippers and bring something with him. But in fact, it seems that Wei Shao can bring only passion to the Clippers. The heart is more than enough, the Clippers are out again, and Wei Shao's dismal playoff shooting rate has also become the dominant player of public opinion, who would have thought how lethal public opinion is? Wei Shao knows better than anyone else. We are still used to calling him Wei Shao, but he is no longer the boy he used to be. Who would have thought that the MVP would have a base salary but face a situation that no one wants.

The MVP who has become a laughing stock, how to go next season, I'm afraid Wei Shao himself is not clear. But when you saw on the Internet that the United States was fighting a public opinion war against China, Wei Shao entered the venue in a Tang costume. I think maybe this unruly old boy is not afraid of any gossip, not afraid of any cynicism. Years can take away some talent, playing time and salary, and life can also fall to the bottom, but in the face of purity and love, face is nothing. Looking back, everyone is old, and he is still the young man with his head held high and angry in fresh clothes!
