Westbrook has received a lot of criticism since he joined the Lakers . He has made fans feel frightened since the preseason, because many times he makes fearless mistakes in his passes, and sometimes the team has a hard time making them. There was a wave of climax, but a few mistakes after he held the ball directly shut down the team's power. Sometimes his shots can directly hit the top of the backboard. It can be said that Westbrook is the player who has been criticized the most by fans this season. He even sought help from a psychiatrist twice.
And today Timberwolves guard Beverly made a mockery of Westbrook in the show. He said, "I don't understand why Westbrook wants to join the Lakers. Maybe he wants to win the championship and help James. Reduce the pressure. We all know that James' physical fitness is not as good as before. This requires Westbrook to step up and lead the team forward, but their playing style is completely different. He needs to threaten in the limited time he holds the ball. Otherwise he would be criticized, so he was very nervous. "When facing the Lakers, I originally wanted to have a good fight with Westbrook, but I found that there was no challenge in defending him because he was just standing in the corner waiting. James passed the ball to him, and I told him to get the damn ball back. He just shook his head and said nothing. Now in the Lakers, his ball rights have been taken away by James. The two of them are not a good fit at all. "What James needs is a second-tier player like Owen and Wade rather than a ball-handling core like Westbrook," Beverley continued.
Beverley has stayed in the West all year round, and he often competes with Westbrook in games. Since the two are both point guards, they have a lot of direct conversations. They have also had conflicts many times. Westbrook accepts it twice a year. The knee surgery was also caused by Beverley's collision in the playoffs. It can be said that Westbrook's decline in athletic ability is also directly related to Beverley.
However, what Beverley is saying now also makes sense. Westbrook's decision to join the Lakers is indeed not wise enough. He and James are not compatible at all.
