On January 25, 2021 Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and the Wizards challenged the Spurs away. Previously, the Wizards were forced to postpone 7 games due to multiple infections of the new crown. In this game, Westbrook returned from injury, and Bill returned full of blood. On the Spurs side, the team lost to the Warriors and the Mavericks. They continued a victory to stop the bleeding. There is no better winning cash machine than the Wizards. 20 points defeat! Bill tried his best. The 24-year-old player made a triple-double to kill, and Westbrook was backed!
In the first quarter of the game, the Wizards took the lead in entering the state, Robinson contributed 8 points to help the team get ahead. In the rotation period, the Spurs have obvious advantages, and Guy and others quickly chase points. After the first quarter, the Spurs were only 3 points behind. In the second quarter of the game, the Wizards fell into a scoring shortage, and the Spurs made two three-pointers to overtake the score. Next, the efficiency of both sides was not high, and the Spurs ended the first half with a 1 point lead.
After the break, Bill started to show off. He scored 15 points individually, but his teammates provided him too little help. On the other hand, the Spurs, Adelaide and Walker joined forces to respond, Mills scored 11 points at the end of the quarter, and the Spurs established an 8-point lead. In the final decisive battle, the Spurs have maintained a lead of about 10 points, and the three-pointers of Bill and Westbrook were short-lived. At the last moment, the Spurs made 3 3-pointers in a row, widening the difference to 19 points, and the game lost suspense. In the end, the Wizards lost 101-121 to the Spurs and suffered a 20-point defeat.
In this game, the Wizards have been missing the battlefield for a long time, and their state is extremely poor, but Bill still has no solution. He played 32 minutes, 13 of 29 shots (3 of 10 three-pointers), 2 of 3 free throws, 31 points + 7 rebounds + 4 assists, but he really couldn't help this group of teammates. Westbrook, who returned from injury, struggled very hard. He played 25 minutes and only made 3 of 11 shots. He scored 9 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, and made 4 turnovers. In the fourth quarter, Westbrook was pinned to a big cap by Pertel within 50 seconds and was embarrassed. This scene is also the epitome of Westbrook's entire game. With more than enough energy, it is less and less like the flying turtle we are familiar with.
Spurs here,Mitchell came off the bench for 20 minutes and contributed a team-high 21 points. Murray's performance in this game is also very eye-catching, he played well in the matchup with Westbrook. The 24-year-old played 30 minutes, contributed 11 points + 11 rebounds + 10 assists, and got his second triple-double of the season. The irony is that the young man got a gold-rich triple-double in front of the active triple-double king, which also made Westbrook's triple-double data even more pungent, more or less a bit murderous. Perhaps this is the charm of the NBA. Talented people have come out from generation to generation, and they have led the way for hundreds of years!
After the game, Westbrook said in an interview: I haven't reached the level I should have in every aspect, and I must do better. At the same time, Wei Shao is as hard as ever, not using injury as an excuse for the downturn, he bluntly said that the quadriceps injury is not serious. However, Westbrook’s coach Brooks doesn’t think so. He supported Westbrook in an interview. Bush said: Westbrook is very healthy now, but by no means 100% healthy. I will accompany him to find the status and find the rhythm of the game he is most familiar with. I also believe that he will get better. So far this season, the Wizards have only won 3 games and their record is close to the bottom of the Eastern Pistons. For the Wizards, Westbrook's health is far more important than his record. I hope Westbrook will be able to play again in 100% health. According to his playing style and performance so far this season, after his maximum salary contract expires, I am afraid that he will have to find a basic salary for a veteran. Fans, what do you think about this? Leave me a comment and discuss it.
