On January 25th, Beijing time, the NBA regular season Wizards challenged the Spurs away. Many games have been postponed by the Wizards. Westbrook is back in this game. The team desperately needs a victory to boost morale. Just how is Westbrook's state. What? This season, Westbrook’s injury has been affected and his condition has been poor. In this comeback game, we must first look for the status, and there is also a time limit for playing. If Westbrook leads the team to win, the hope is not too great. Bill's played.
At the beginning of the first quarter, the two teams will not give way to each other. The score is very tight. Westbrook's playing time is limited. After a few minutes of playing, he was replaced. At the end of this quarter, he was replaced on the court. Time is cut very fragmented, so that it will feel even worse. 26-23, at the end of the first quarter, the Wizards temporarily led the Spurs by three points.
In the second quarter, the situation remained the same. The two teams did not improve on the offensive end. The Wizards made a little bit higher three-point shooting rate, but made a lot of turnovers. The Spurs controlled the turnovers very well, but the three-point shooting rate was almost two. The team leads alternately, and it is difficult for anyone to leave the opponent behind.
48-47, the Spurs are temporarily ahead of the Wizards by one point at halftime. Let's take a look at the halftime data of both players. DeRozan 6 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists on the Spurs side, Kelden Johnson 8 points 1 rebound, Aldridge 2 points, Walker 6 points, Murray 6 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists, Wasser 5 points and 3 rebounds, Pertel 4 points, 3 rebounds and 2 steals, Gay 7 points and 2 rebounds, Mills 4 points and 3 rebounds; Wizards Bill 11 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, Bangka 3 points and 3 rebounds, Ronaldinho 6 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, Jerome Robinson 8 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists, Westbrook 3 points, 4 rebounds and 1 Assists, Matthews 9 points and 4 rebounds.
Westbrook played 11 minutes in the first half and made 1 of 6 shots. The touch was extremely cool. After all, he just came back and didn't have much possession. Westbrook didn't have a high sense of presence on the court. He even assisted in the first half. Only once, this situation is very rare in Westbrook.
At the beginning of the third quarter, the Spurs steadily maintained their lead. Although the Wizards counterattacked several times, they were unable to overtake the score. At the end of this quarter, Mills scored 3+1 on the outside to help the team in the third quarter. At the end, it led the Wizards by 8 points 85-77. The Spurs' three-point feel started to pick up this quarter.Scored 37 points in a single quarter, which is definitely full of firepower for the Spurs. But the difference is not too big, the Wizards still have a chance.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Westbrook continued to lead the team. The score difference was kept within ten. The game was still full of suspense. At this time, DeRozan received his fifth foul and had to rest. Although DeRozan Not many points, but sent out 8 assists, still a great contribution to the team. And the Spurs' key balls are basically DeRozan shots. Now DeRozan is trapped by a foul. As long as the Wizards keep biting the score, the Wizards still have a slight advantage in the final score.
However, the Wizards did not seize the opportunity to narrow the points difference and instead let the Spurs extend their lead to more than ten. In the final three minutes of the game, Mills hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner, and the Spurs 116-97 have led the Wizards by 19 points. This three-pointer can be said to be murderous, and the Wizards have no chance of a comeback.
Both teams have changed their main lineups. The last two minutes have been garbage time. Westbrook appeared in 25 minutes today and made 3 of 11 shots, including 1 of 3 three-pointers, contributing 9 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, and 4 turnovers. It can be said that it is not bad. After all, he just came back and the shooting feel was not good. Westbrook did a good job in sorting out the team, but sent his teammates a second pass many times. The teammates' finishing ability was too poor. This is not Westbrook's problem.
In the end, the Spurs defeated the Wizards 121-101. In the whole game, DeRozan 9 points, 3 rebounds and 8 assists on the Spurs side, Kelden Johnson 13 points and 4 rebounds, Aldridge 15 points and 2 rebounds, Walker 16 points and 2 rebounds 3 Steals, Murray 11 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, Wasser 14 points and 4 rebounds, Gay 13 points and 6 rebounds, Peltel 4 points and 6 rebounds, Mills 21 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists; Wizards Bill 31 points and 7 Rebounds and 4 assists, Bangka 7 points and 7 rebounds, Ronaldinho 8 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, Jerome Robinson 16 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, Westbrook 9 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, Matthews 9 points, 4 rebounds and 3 steals .
At the end of the game, the players of the two teams did not hug and greet on the court. The players on the Spurs side have already moved to the player channel. Now the league has stricter prevention and control of the epidemic, and excessive contact with players is strictly prohibited after the game. The same goes for the Wizards. Westbrook is still a bit unhappy about this defeat. After all, Westbrook is too competitive.I hope Westbrook will find his shooting feel as soon as possible and return to the top, averaging 30+10+10 per game. At that time, it was difficult for the Wizards to lose.
The Wizards are still too stable. They can still bite the score in the first half and start to pull their hips collectively in the second half. Of course, there are external reasons. The delay of many games of the team still has a great impact on the player's state. is not it?
