Westbrook 11 shots in the game 0
Russell Westbrook once went to the bench, but after the start of the regular season, Lakers still let Westbrook start, at least before Schroder returns, no one can replace Westbrook's starting point guard position. In the first game, facing the Golden State Warriors, the Lakers were defeated and could be said to have no power to fight back. However, Westbrook's performance was OK, making 7 of 12 shots, scoring 19 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal. However, in this game against the Los Angeles Clippers, Westbrook was completely lost on the offensive end and lost all 11 shots.
0 of 11 shots in a single game, which is somewhat unacceptable for a starting point guard and a player with an annual salary of $47.06 million. However, compared with the last game against the Warriors, the Lakers did not lose their defeat against the Clippers in this game. Although they were more than ten points behind twice, they all withstood the pressure and retained the suspense.
can only find Westbrook
However, at the last moment of the game, Reggie and Kennard's successive three-pointers allowed the Clippers to regain their lead. Westbrook made consecutive steals, but the team couldn't convert it into scoring, and the three-pointer bounced out again and again. In the end, the Los Angeles Lakers lost to the Los Angeles Clippers 97-103, and suffered two consecutive losses at the beginning of the new season, which was really disappointing. And, this is the Lakers' eight-game losing streak against the Clippers. Who is the best player in Los Angeles? The result is clear at a glance. After the game ended, it was naturally time to hold a meeting for the players, and many fans aimed at Westbrook at first sight. Lonnie Walker scored the highest team 26 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals. , Spurs, produced, must be a top-notch product, and you will definitely not be able to find him during a meeting. Davis 25 points, 8 rebounds and 1 steal, and its role on the court is very obvious. James also has 20 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists, which is not that bad. Beverly Although 1 of 7 shots is made, the plus or negative value is +7, the team ranked first. As for Westbrook, there are only 1+2+3+4+5 data for 0 shots in 11.
1 turnovers 2 points, 3 rebounds 4 assists 5 steals, which is the report card Westbrook gave in this game. Judging from the offensive performance, Westbrook is not only bad, but can be described directly as a terrible sight. However, overall, Westbrook is not bad. At least he worked very hard on the defensive end, contributing 5 steals and only 1 mistake in the game.
Westbrook was deprecated again
However, the offensive end is so bad, no matter how outstanding other aspects are, it is futile. After all, what the Lakers are not giving a basic salary contract, but an annual salary of $47.06 million. So, in the final quarter, Westbrook was abandoned again. The Lakers' lineup was James + Davis + Walker + Beverly + Reeves. As for Westbrook, he sat on the bench, which is reality. At the last moment, it was impossible for the team to put a player who made 0 of 11 shots on the court, after all, what the Lakers needed was scoring at the time.
This is the first time Westbrook has not scored a sports goal in the game since 2016. Time is unforgiving, and the league MVP who averaged triple-double per game has become a thing of the past. A guard who has no shooting will start to go downhill once he passes the threshold of thirty years old, and it will not gradually go downhill, but will directly slide the slope. Westbrook belongs to this type. However, Westbrook's attitude on the court is still worthy of recognition, and the main reason for the Lakers' loss is not Westbrook, but the three-pointer is too bad.
Cavaliers and Heat both proved one thing: if you accumulate three-pointers around James, you can succeed, but the Lakers went against it. After two games, the Lakers' three-point shooting percentages were 10 of 40 shots and 9 of 45 shots, which was a terrible sight. To be honest, I haven't figured out why the Lakers didn't sign back to Anthony .
