"Missions and passionate blood! Westbrook s game is like a microcosm of his ups and downs"

Before the game started, I was thinking about Westbrook's designation tonight that something different would be done. Now, in the good situation where the team led by 9 points at 1 minute and 28 seconds of the game, he insisted on making a quick layup. The commentator was so excited on the spot that he almost shouted: "NO! NO! NO!" I could feel the deep despair through the screen. The ball was not shot, and the basket seemed to be mocking him, and the audience at the scene probably was also confused. If it were normal, this matter might have been a smile, but in today's game, Westbrook's operation was really heartbreaking.

If you want to talk about this person, there is nothing to say about passion. At the end of the third quarter, he slapped SGA's shot away, and the blocking was clean and beautiful, as if he was declaring to the whole world: "I am still the Westbrook before!" The bench on the sidelines instantly boiled, and his teammates waved towels, as lively as if they were having a party. What a pity, passion is passion, data will not lie. Today he scored 8 points, grabbed 3 rebounds, and made 4 mistakes, and his performance was really not very good. Especially at the end of the first quarter, two consecutive mistakes directly made the opponent achieve an 8-1 climax. The 10-point advantage that the main force finally opened was gone in an instant. I was staring at the screen, so anxious that I wanted to rush in and dribble for him.

Not to mention at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the coach wanted to ask the teacher to rest for a while and sent Westbrook, Strauser and Watson to play together. As soon as the lineup was up, the rhythm of the game was as chaotic as if he was dancing a square dance and stepped on the wrong beat. I asked the teacher to drink Gatorade off the spot, and probably frowned. Westbrook's momentum is sometimes like a double-edged sword. It can beat the opponent to a scattered life, but once it loses control, it can also cheat your teammates.

Speaking of this, I remembered when he was with the Thunder. At that time, Westbrook was like a nuclear bomb on the court, and no one could stop him when he rushed. I remember one game, he ran all over the field, and pulled back the team that was 20 points behind, and finally completed the final victory. Looking back now, the scene is still full of passion. But now, he is no longer the young man who can kill all over the field at will. Age, injury troubles, role changes, these are like whetstones, slowly grinding away his sharpness. However, his unyielding spirit has not changed at all. Just look at his SGA cap, Westbrook is still the one who refuses to accept his fate in his eyes.

Actually, Westbrook is quite tangled. When fans like him, they like his desperate crazy spirit; but sometimes they are bothered by him, and sometimes they are angry at him and sometimes they are beaten by the fire. People often complain on the Internet that if he could be more steady, his career might be able to go to a higher level. But I think if Westbrook really becomes stable, then will it still Westbrook be? Isn’t his charm lies in the uncertainty that he may make mistakes at any time, but may also create miracles at any time? Just like in today's game, there are many mistakes and no accurate shooting, but you can't deny that he did his best on the court. After the game, I browsed social media. Sure enough, a bunch of people scolded him, a bunch of people praised him, and some posted an animated picture of him on the Thunder back then, lamenting that time flies so fast. There is a comment that I particularly agree with, saying that Westbrook is like the brother in your family who always loves to cause trouble but you can't bear to scold him. This is a very appropriate description. He is not the perfect star, but he is definitely unique.

Speaking of this, I suddenly became a little curious. If Westbrook retired one day, how will fans remember him? Is it the player who got a sluggish triple-double, or the player who made more mistakes? Is it an icon of the Thunder or a substitute surprise for the Nuggets now? Maybe everyone has their own answer in their hearts. What do you think?
