Chapter 926 (1/2)
Russell Westbrook didn't let bill Simmons down.
Before the all star game, he almost hit the whole league in the face.
On February 8, Oklahoma thunder once again did something unexpected in the face of the current 33-18 Western powerhouse Los Angeles Clippers.
The Clippers are missing Griffin and J.J. Reddick, but the thunder is not a complete lineup. Therefore, no one is optimistic about thunder before the game.
Russell Westbrook beat Paul to pieces, and the League directly used the word ”superstar” to Westbrook. It took a lot of courage.
Westbrook is indeed one of the best guards in the league, but whether it is hard to honor or lead the team, can not reach the superstar level.
If you want to pick one of the league's most controversial stars, Westbrook is definitely one of them.
Generally speaking, Bill Simmons doesn't have a cold for such players.
But in order to push Westbrook up, Simmons will not be stingy with his praise.
Westbrook's subsequent performance at the press conference made bill Simmons very happy.
”I just want to win, and Kevin and I agreed to wait for him to come back in the finals. So I'm not afraid now. ”
When a player, especially a capable player, really wants to win, the power he bursts out is unpredictable.
Harden played so well in January, not because he simply wanted to win, but just because he wanted to win the best of the month.
As a result, his team's record is average, and the data has not surpassed link.
But Westbrook is different, at least for now, he is more persistent in winning than harden.
Westbrook fulfilled his commitment to Durant, leading his team to win four of the five games before the all star game!
In addition to pelican and Clippers, thunder also won magic and nuggets. And, in two of the five games, Westbrook scored 40 points in two of the five games, stronger than last month's harden.
Because of the all star game, when the regular season starts again, it will be the end of February.
It can be said that Westbrook has played almost half of the game in February.
So far, Westbrook has averaged 34 points, 10.1 assists and 8.3 rebounds per game in February! This terrible data, is close to link's average match of three doubles in November!
Moreover, the thunder team's record is not bad. With the triple double data and excellent record, if thunder and Westbrook can keep up in the end of February, he will be the best of the month!
Because link played until now in February, the average game is only 25.5 points, 7.4 assists and 7.1 rebounds.
