On March 8, Beijing time, the San Antonio Spurs met the challenge of the Los Angeles Lakers at home. This season, the San Antonio Spurs are not in good shape, only twelfth in the West, and have completely lost the playoffs, while the Situation on the Lakers side is not much better, they are now in the ninth place in the West, but there is a considerable gap with the Eighth In the West Clippers.
Therefore, the strength and gap between the two teams in this game may be similar. As a result, the whole game was also true, the two teams played back and forth, and neither side opened the gap between them. In the end, the San Antonio Spurs defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 117-110 at home, ending a four-game losing streak. Murray cut 26 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists across the board to help the team win.
It can be said that today's game between the two teams belongs to both sides can be let go and play. But before the game began, fans and friends had already focused on Westbrook. Why? The reason is because before the game, two things happened about Westbrook.
First, Westbrook and his family received verbal abuse and threats from Lakers fans. Because After Westbrook joined the Lakers this season, the performance has not been ideal, so that Westbrook has received a lot of verbal criticism. But what is even more excessive is that in the past few days, there are still some crazy fans who will use language to attack Wei Shao or even death threats under Wei Shao's social media, and what is worse is that these crazy fans have not even spared Wei Shao's family. It can be said that such behavior is really very inappropriate and inappropriate, and fans should go through a better way if they need to express their emotions.
Secondly, in this Game of Spurs vs. Lakers, James will be absent because James suffered from a sore knee, and in the last game, James scored 56 points against the Warriors, setting multiple records. But apparently, as he grew older, James's body was naturally not as resistant as before. And James's absence means that Westbrook needs to carry the team's offensive responsibility on his shoulders.
Before the game, the famous basketball commentator Jalen Rose said about Wei Shao's problems, saying: "At the peak of Wei Shao, he needs to have the ball in his hand, and he needs to dominate the ball on the court. This allowed Wei Shao to exert his greatest power. But in the Words of the Lakers, it means that the ball is always in James' hands, which means that Westbrook has to play without the ball. He's not a fixed-point pitcher, and he doesn't do much empty cut, so Westbrook can't play as efficiently as the Lakers. ”
At the beginning of today's game, it is true that the Lakers put Wei Shao in a state of having the ball. However, Wei Shao seems to have disappointed Lakers fans again. In the first quarter alone, Westbrook scored the highest number of turnovers on the team. Not only that, but when Wei Shao made free throws, he missed two free throws, and there were also cases of being broken and blocked. And the Lakers have basically been behind the Spurs since the opening. At the end of the first half, the Spurs still ended the first half 62-56 despite leading by a maximum of 14 points.
At the beginning of the second half of the game, Wei Shao's state also slowly picked up, perhaps he also realized that the team needed him to come forward, and in the second half, Wei Shao frequently used his impact to hit the Spurs' paint area and cause fouls, allowing the Lakers to keep up with the Spurs' score. And successfully allowed the team to equal the Spurs in the fourth quarter. But apparently, the Lakers' aging lineup reached the second half of the fourth quarter in front of the Spurs' young men, and they seemed to be powerless. Especially the Spurs' Murray, it is difficult for a player in the Lakers to defend against Murray.
However, despite this, in the absence of James today, Westbrook, together with Anthony and Munch and Tucker, once gave Lakers fans the hope of winning in the game, and Westbrook also cut 17 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists. It can be said that Wei Shao is indeed not as good as before compared to his own peak, but it can be seen that as long as Wei Shao stands on the field, he will definitely do his best to play. Therefore, it is also very normal for fans to have opinions about Wei Shao's current state, but it is not as bad as his family, so it is not correct to express dissatisfaction in this way, and Wei Shao's own state also needs to be adjusted by himself with time and games.
