How terrible is it to let Westbrook to do Westbrook?
After 14 years, Westbrook was finally arranged as a substitute. A former MVP, a player averaging triple-double, was a substitute in , Lakers . In the past three games, Westbrook averaged 28.7 minutes per game, scoring 10.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 2 steals, shooting percentage of 28.9% and three-point shooting percentage of 8.3%.
's sluggish state made him the scapegoat for the Lakers' three consecutive losses to start with a bad start. But when you watch the Lakers game, you will know that it is not Westbrook's real strength. He is just not suitable for the role Ham arranged for him, and he is used as a blue-collar 3D.
Westbrook needs to have a ball in hand. He has never been a star with a very accurate shooting percentage. He needs to use a lot of ball rights to slowly find the rhythm of the game. You need to give him the ball.
vs. Timberwolves , Westbrook comes on as a substitute. He played for 12 minutes, made 4 of 9 shots, 1 of 2 three-pointers, scored 10 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist, and led the team to counterattack, which is the real team leader!
hand the ball to Westbrook and let him handle the ball. Don’t care about how many mistakes he made or how many times he made a blacksmith. He will use his impact force and his pass to tear the defense. Westbrook has to be excited to play the ball before he can exert his true power.
If the Lakers do not have James , Westbrook will not become a substitute. It is not that he lacks ability, but he is not suitable for coexisting with James. If Westbrook is given sufficient ball rights and tactical tilt, the Lakers will not become a soft persimmon at the slaughter of others. Westbrook will let the role players play their best. Don’t complain about Westbrook’s triple-double. Isn’t it better to have 11 assists per game than the current 4.3 times?
In one sentence: If you want to win, you have to make Westbrook excited on the field! #NBA hotspot#
