On October 27, Beijing time, the NBA regular season, the Lakers won 125:121 away to the Spurs after overtime.
Westbrook performed well, and while the team won, he also achieved a dazzling number of 33 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists. Thick-browed Davis also played well, with 35 points, 17 boards and 4 assists. Wei Mei played at the same time and became a twin star shining in the AT&T Center.
In this game, James was suspended due to sore ankles, leaving room for Westbrook to play to the fullest. Many times to see Wei Mei connected, block and dismantle the pass, with more and more tacit understanding, Wei Shao's state is getting better and better. In this game, Westbrook shot 15 of 27, 1 of 4 from three-point range, 2 of 4 from the field, and had 33 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals and 1 block, and only 3 turnovers. The state can be said to be fully recovered.
Previously, the Lakers, plus 6 games in the preseason, had 8 consecutive losses. The newly joined giant Wei Shao is in a sluggish state, and everyone looks down on the Lakers. Westbrook's stats for the first three games of the regular season:
- On October 20, the Warriors 121-114 Lakers, 8 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, 4 of 13 shots, 4 of 4 three-pointers, 4 turnovers;
- October 23, Suns 115-105 Lakers, 15 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists, 6 of 15 shooting, 3 of 3 three-point shooting, 4 turnovers;
— On October 25, the Grizzlies 118-121 Lakers, 13 points, 7 rebounds and 13 assists, 5 of 15 shooting, 4 of 3-pointers, 1 of 9 turnovers.
Judging from the data, Westbrook's shooting percentage and three-point shooting rate are indeed low, and there are too many mistakes. However, with the increase in the time spent with the team, the state is getting better and better, and today it has also ushered in an outbreak, and the state has also announced a recovery. The Lakers also ushered in two consecutive wins.
The talent of the superstar is there, the downturn is only temporary, after their own adjustments, adaptation to the new environment, familiarity with technology and tactics, and more tacit cooperation with new teammates, the state will recover and return to the superb technical and tactical level. The second brother of Wei Shao has broken out, the teammates who were once thunder and rockets, and the third brother Harden who is also a superstar, will your outbreak be far away? We look forward to it.
Harden is in a bad state right now, look at his first 4 games in the regular season:
— On October 20, the Nets 104-127 Bucks, 20 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists, 6 of 16 shooting, 4 of 8 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws;
— On October 23, the Nets 114-109 Philadelphia 76ers, 20 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists, 7 of 17 shots, 3 of 7 three-pointers, 4 free throws and 3 of 4 free throws;
— On October 25, the Hornets 111-95 Nets, 15 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists, 6 of 16 shooting, 2 of 8 three-pointers, 1 of 1 free throw, 1 of 1 free throw;
— On Oct. 26, the Wizards 90-104 Nets, 14 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists, 5 of 17 shooting, 1 of 8 three-pointers, 3 of 3 free throws.
Now the Nets are 2-2, completely supported by Durant alone. Harden's form is too crotch-pulling, the shooting rate is too low, and the help to Durant is too little. Such Harden is completely unworthy of his top salary, which is not his real level at all. Saying that it is a change in the rules of the league blowing free throws, being targeted by the league referee, etc., this cannot be an excuse for Harden's sinking.
Superstars have a strong ability to adjust themselves, external factors can only temporarily trap their hands and feet, after they adapt, they will break free of the shackles, burst out of their huge energy, and make the world tremble for it. Give Harden a little more time, the sleeping superstar will soon wake up, and we believe that Harden's state will soon usher in an outbreak!
