Facing Timberwolves , the Lakers finally returned in a defeat, losing to their opponents on 102-111, and still failed to win the next game so far in the new season. For the Lakers, it's really time to get angry.
The Lakers' continuous losses obviously require someone to stand up and take responsibility, and this person is obviously Westbrook .
Today, Westbrook also appeared on the bench. Before that, Westbrook had started in 1,007 consecutive games. It has to be said that for the sake of victory, the former superstar, the former MVP, and the former triple-double average, have really made sacrifices. In fact, in terms of age, Westbrook is not very big, 34 years old, and of course, it is no longer as good as when he was young.
However, judging from today's competition, such adjustments did not achieve the expected results. Westbrook is still struggling on the bench. Although he is a substitute today, he has played a lot of playing time, reaching 32 minutes, second only to James , but his performance is unqualified. He made 6 of 17 shots and scored 18 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists, but made 5 turnovers and 5 fouls. Under his leadership, the Lakers team made 22 mistakes.
It should be said that James performed well, scoring 28 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 steals. You should know that he is already 38 years old. Before the season begins, the Lakers' goal is to win the championship. After all, they also know that there is not much time left for James to rule the league.
But nowadays, it's simply a joke. If you really want to make a difference this season, the Lakers must make changes, and this change is Westbrook. It can be seen that Westbrook is not happy and is not in shape, so his shooting percentage is very low, but his mistakes are many. Moreover, judging from the data, he and James did not call at all, and they could not find the feeling at all. Therefore, the Lakers can consider trading Westbrook. Perhaps changing a player will be a good thing for Westbrook, , Lakers .
