On December 22, Beijing time, the Clippers' nine-game winning streak was ended after losing 115-134 to the Thunder on the road. In this game, Kawhi Leonard was rested, Harden and George led the team to be suppressed by the Thunder, and the Thunder opened the gap to 17 points in the third quarter with a wave of 45-33 to 17 points and then entered garbage time early in the final quarter, Harden only played 33 minutes, and George only played 29 minutes.
The protagonist of this game is actually Wei Shao, when he appeared in the first quarter, OKC fans stood up to applaud him, because he is a supergiant who walked out of Oklahoma, he won the first MVP of his career here, and Wei Shao in the 16-17 season is the god of basketball in OKC.
There are also many fans at the scene wearing Wei Shao Thunder No. 0 jersey to watch the turtle play, and the fans are very enthusiastic about Wei Shao, and every time Wei Shao scores, there are shouts.
The Thunder official also produced Wei Shao's OKC career highlights to pay tribute. He contributed a lot of crazy moments at OKC.
It's a pity that in the end, Wei Shao only played 29 minutes and 42 seconds, 7 of 12, 0 of 2 three-pointers, 1 of 1 free throws, scored 15 points, 13 rebounds and 4 assists, and the shooting rate was 58.3%, he still did not play more than 30 minutes, and the 35-year-old Wei Shao's role in this Clippers is already very marginal.
Wei Shao has previously said that he really likes to see his teammates do better, he is willing to take the pressure to block bullets for anyone, he really doesn't care how long he can play, he knows what is most important. (Wei Shao's huge sacrifice in exchange for the Clippers' previous wave of 9 consecutive wins)
Wei Shao's last game of more than 30 minutes of playing time dates back to November 3 against the Grizzlies, which means that Wei Shao has not played more than 30 minutes for 39 days, and Wei Shao has only 10 games of more than 20 minutes in 20 games during this period.
In the last nine games, Wei Shao averaged 19.3 minutes per game, scoring 9.8 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.8 blocks, shooting 54.9% from the field and 21.9% from three-point range. He averages sixth points per game on the team and sixth on the team in shots per game, and it's clear that Wei Shao is already the sixth choice for the Clippers. He is willing to sacrifice himself for the championship.
