Westbrook Milestones

After chatting about the game, let’s talk about the players’ performance. In this game, Westbrook made 4 of 11 shots, 3 of 6 three-pointers, and scored 14 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists, and 2 steals. In this game, Westbrook also ushered in his own milestone. His career total score reached 26,400 points, ranking 18th in history, surpassing Pierce and Havlicek. Sasquatch also tried his best in this game. He made 7 of 14 shots and scored 17 points, 13 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals.

DeRozan is the highest scorer on the team. He scored 27 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists on 12 of 15 shots. The data is so good. It seems that I shouldn't criticize him, but friends who have watched the game know that Azan has almost no help to the team system. He is too obsessed with singles and has poor defense. This game's plus-minus value of -23 is the worst on the team. He and LaVine are both players whose data cannot reflect the damage to the team. LaVine was even more abandoned in the fourth quarter of this game. He scored 8 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists on 3-of-7 shooting.

As the team's highest salary, the result is like this. This is why many media predict that LaVine cannot be sent away. Schroder made 8 of 13 shots and scored 22 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal. Schroeder also played very frustrated after joining the Kings. Without the ball, he is now a substitute. It is not his fault that the team has led to today's situation. After the loss, the Kings have 3 wins and 11 losses, falling to the second last place in the Western Conference.

Fox killed his old team

Fox faced his old team in this game. He played bloody well. He made 11 of 20 shots and 4 of 8 three-pointers. He scored 28 points, 2 rebounds, 11 assists and 1 steal. Plus-minus + 20, the highest in the team. No matter who he catches, it’s all singles. Although Fox’s leadership temperament is not very good, he is the top among the active backcourts in terms of finishing. In this campaign, with Wenban absent, Fox also made more contributions on the offensive end.

However, the Spurs also had bad news in this game. Castle, the core of the team's backcourt, retired from this game due to a hip injury. Castle's playing style is very hard and relies heavily on the body. In the future, this body-reliant style of play needs to be minimized as much as possible, so as to reduce the risk of injuries. In this campaign, driven by Fox, Vassell scored 16 points, 3 rebounds and 8 assists, and Cornet scored 13 points, 11 rebounds and 1 assist. Cornet's signing is too profitable, and his killing ability is too strong.

Barnes scored 20 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists. He did not show mercy when facing his old team. In this campaign, Keldon Johnson scored 14 points, 12 rebounds and 1 assist, Champagne scored 12 points, and Sohan scored 11 points and 5 rebounds. In this game, the Spurs played their team basketball, and a total of 7 people on the team scored in double figures. Having said that, what do you want to say about the current Spurs and Kings?
