As the saying goes: A truly strong person never complains about the environment! Indeed, no matter what the environment, a truly capable person can always burst out with amazing energy and stand out from the crowd!
If, I said if, if we apply this to Russell Westbrook this season, you should be okay with it, right? Perhaps our impression of Westbrook has always been that he is passionate about playing, but he is always a bit uninteresting on the technical level. Especially Westbrook's shooting, which is still a fatal shortcoming! But so what? This does not affect his fans' love for him as always, nor does it affect the change in his playing style. After so many years, Westbrook has always insisted on being himself!
During this offseason, when Westbrook was traded to the Utah Jazz again, many people were waiting to see his jokes. Because the Jazz, which is in the process of rebuilding, has no room for Westbrook at all, it is inevitable that he will be bought out of his contract! Once the contract is bought out, if no one shows interest after the 48-hour clarification period, it means that Westbrook will be unemployed in the league. Maybe after all this trouble, he will disappear from the league!
But obviously, there is a high probability that this kind of thing will not happen to Westbrook! Because he still has gas in the tank, he still wants to continue to fight for the championship. He never wants to retire without a championship in his career. Everyone knows what happened next, Nuggets threw an olive branch to him! In the end, the two parties signed a two-year veteran's basic salary contract worth 6.77 million. At this point, Westbrook officially became a Nugget and started a new chapter in his career!
made his Nuggets career debut in the new season. Westbrook, who came off the bench, made 2 of 10 shots and scored 6 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. In the second game, he made 0 of 8 shots and only relied on free throws to score 2 points and 2 assists. In the third game, he scored 3 of 7 points. Contributed 9 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists... In short, the performance of substitute Westbrook was so tepid, neither good nor bad! Until the starting point guard Jamal Murray fell due to injury and Westbrook was appointed as the Nuggets starting point guard, we saw the energetic Megatron again!
In the Nuggets' 129-103 victory over the Jazz, Westbrook made his first start of the season. He had not fully entered the starting role in this campaign and scored 5 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists and 5 steals on 2-of-11 shooting, with a plus-minus value of + 12. But when they played against the Raptors in the next game, Westbrook, who continued to start, ushered in a big explosion. He scored 21 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 1 block on 6 of 10 shots. Playing against the Oklahoma City Thunder again, Westbrook continued to go on a rampage, scoring 29 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists on 10-of-15 shots.
Then Jamal Murray returned from injury, Westbrook returned to the bench lineup, and his highlight performance also cooled down. But in the past three starts, Westbrook has allowed us to see his incredible vitality again! Obviously, he is 100% Westbrook as a starter. His power as a substitute is at least 30% off! But he also knows that he is here to serve as a substitute for Murray. Therefore, he has no regrets about his role as a backup point guard! But to be honest, compared to Jamal Murray's hip-stretching performance this season, Westbrook is actually more worthy of being the Nuggets' starting point guard.
