Westbrook finally got the 182nd triple-double of his career, officially surpassing Oscar-Robertson 's exclusive league history. I really can't think of any reason why Westbrook deserves to be criticized this season. Congratulations to Westbrook for enjoying the history of nba. I once thought that Westbrook would die because of injury, but when he comes back healthy, Westbrook is one of the best and most passionate players on the court.
From Westbrook's first triple-double in 2009 to today's league history, Westbrook has brought us too many good memories. The loyalty in the Thunder period, the integrity in Tang suits in the Rockets period, and the tenacity of forcing the Wizards into the playoffs now, I really can't think of any reason why Westbrook this season deserves us to black him. And watching the Wizards game recently, you will find that there is a miracle with Westbrook on the court. The Wizards have scored more than 100 points in 2 consecutive games. In the last 6 games, 5 games have scored within two points. In the absence of Beal, they almost reversed the Eagles. Such a comprehensive data , I am afraid that it can't be typed in the game. Westbrook's playing style is just like that, grabbing rebounds and counterattacking an all-round defender. Westbrook's desire to win the game is indeed very similar to Kobe . I also hope that this season, Westbrook can lead his team to the playoffs. Westbrook can go back to where his dream started at the end of his career, and I hope Westbrook can win the O'Brien Trophy as he wishes.
In our understanding of basketball , getting a triple-double in one game is a remarkable achievement, and it is an impossible task, so that Big O averaged a triple-double record in ancient times , once thought that it would be completely sealed by history, but Westbrook doesn't think so. There are two nodes in Westbrook's association with triple-doubles, namely the 14-15 season and the 16-17 season.In the 2014-15 season Durant Injuries affected early season reimbursement, Westbrook carried the team alone, averaging 28.1 points, 7.3 rebounds,28.6 assists, and 11 triple-doubles that season. Only had eight triple-doubles in the first six seasons. In the 2016-17 season, Durant left Oakland, and the angry Westbrook released all his martial arts as if he had opened up the two veins of Ren and Du. He averaged 31.6 points, 10.7 rebounds and 10.4 assists per game. He averaged three times per game for the first time in his career. Double, the season's 42 triple-doubles also broke the record held by the Big O. Since then, Westbrook has been out of control, averaging triple-doubles per game for three consecutive years, leaving the Big O, who is admired by the world for averaging triple-doubles, far behind. dominate history.
There are many people who criticize Westbrook saying that he cares too much about data when playing football, saying that his triple-double is a result of brushing. I agree with half of this sentence. I also wrote an article before. If you are interested, you can go and see. Westbrook does have a lot of criticisms. In the first quarter, he helped the second quarter, and the easiest score was left at the end. In order to grab more rebounds, he often let go of his defenders. In order to have more assists, he should pass. He passed on everything that should not have been passed on. But the data won't lie. His team has won 136 of the 182 triple-doubles in his career, with a winning percentage of 74.7%. Whether it is the previous Thunder or the current Wizards, they need Westbrook's triple-double. Like Curry , Westbrook has changed people's perception of basketball. Maybe he will never win a championship for life, but he is also destined to be famous in history. Championships happen every year, and triple-doubles per game are not common.
Said that Westbrook’s stats this season will first look at the historical triple-double stats list, who are behind Westbrook Oscar Robertson, Magic Johnson, Jason Kidd , LeBron James , Chamberlain , Larry Bird, James Harden , who is not the person who wrote a lot in NBA history, Westbrook is the absolute big brother on this list. How hard is a triple-double? For example, Wiggins has only had one triple-double in his 8-year career so far. If this frequency is calculated, Wiggins needs to hit 3477 AD to get 182 times. . As you can imagine!
If the score can be determined by the number of shots, of course, scoring in double figures is a very simple thing for the professional player , let alone a superstar like Westbrook. So rebounding requires this person to have a very keen rebounding awareness, assisting requires him to have a strong overall situation, and give the ball to the most accurate person on the court in each round, and the combination of these three is itself one. a difficult thing. The audience has to fight for rebounds, charge into the battle, and find teammates to send good passes in the chaos of the army. It takes endless fighting spirit and passion to achieve a triple-double. It's not high, but one's rejection of Westbrook's triple-double is completely disrespectful to Westbrook. The triple-double is more about a person's overall strength, otherwise the record won't be broken until 47 years later.
What is the gold content of this triple-double record broken by Westbrook? First of all, the 181-game triple-double record held by the big O has been sealed for 47 years. Before Westbrook, he always believed that this triple-double record was unbreakable. Looking back to 10 years ago, in 2012, the closest to this record was Jason Kidd, whose personal record stayed at 107 games, which is still a long way from 181.So old fans should remember that in how many times the media has listed the most difficult NBA records to break, this record is always at the top. But as the league is now advancing faster, and many teams are playing small balls, many people think it's easier for Westbrook to break this record. However, if you ask a professional player or a fan who plays a lot, is it really difficult to get a triple-double?
No player is perfect including Jordan , Kobe Bryant, James , I think Westbrook's performance in the Wizards this year surpassed his performance in the Thunder with mvp, because this year's Wizards are completely a low open high go season. Let’s recall carefully the injuries that Westbrook has suffered this season and the difficulties the Wizards have suffered. What was the outside world’s expectations for the Wizards? To tell the truth, everyone listed the Wizards with Bill and Westbrook as the inverse of the league, but it was under Westbrook's unremitting leadership that the potential and energy of the Wizards team were stimulated. This game with the Hawks is the epitome of Westbrook's entire season, and the Wizards can also stay in the playoffs. Finally, I hope that this season, Westbrook can go further.
