Although a new rotation lineup was replaced during the offseason, the Lakers' record still did not improve.
has lost all three games so far in the new season, and is currently at the bottom of the West with 0 wins and 3 losses.
The former champion team has now become a laughing stock in the entire sports world.
and Westbrook 's personal performance is considered by many people to be the culprit of the poor performance of Lakers .
This season, Westbrook's annual salary is as high as 47.06 million US dollars, ranking second in the league, second only to Curry .
But his personal performance is far from Curry.
averaged 10.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, 4.3 assists, shooting percentage of 28.9% and three-point shooting percentage of 8.3%.
It is hard for you to imagine that this is the data produced by a maximum salary guard.
At present, Westbrook's average score, shooting percentage and three-point shooting percentage have hit career lows.
Today's game of losing to Trail Blazers , Westbrook made a hasty move in the last ten seconds with the Lakers leading by one point.
After missed the shot, the Trail Blazers seized the opportunity to switch offense and defensively, and Grant made a layup, winning the game.
Regarding this round, a reporter consulted James for his opinion after the game.
But unexpectedly, James, who has always been a good-tempered, refused to answer this question directly. His original words were:
"Write whatever you want, I won't say anything."
This sentence can be understood as James is unwilling to say things that are not conducive to Westbrook when losing, so he refused to answer.
can also be understood as he has nothing to say about Westbrook.
As for your opinion, it depends on everyone.
It is worth mentioning that Lakers head coach Ham directly named Westbrook for a hasty shot after the game.
"Nurkic When he made five fouls, I hope he can directly hit the basket."
"You have to understand which offense method to choose before the game ends. Russ chose to have two points longer, but I hope he can break through and pass the ball, which is what he is good at."
When talking about whether they will choose to change the team after three consecutive losses, Ham said that he has no time to take care of the players' personal feelings and will do more things that are beneficial to the team in the future. The primary goal is definitely to win.
does not explicitly indicate whether Westbrook will be deprecated.
But it is not difficult to hear that the meaning of these words is actually already reminding Westbrook in advance.
