Jokic was dissatisfied with two points, and Westbrook had a showdown after the game! Murray failed to see the reality clearly, and LaVine is not as good as one person

On November 23, the Nuggets played against the Kings at home. At the end of the game, the Nuggets lost to the Nuggets 123-128. Although the Nuggets are far stronger than the Kings in terms of hard power, the Kings were still able to hold on to the score after the game started. However, the Nuggets still managed to open up the score in the third quarter. However, facing a double-digit disadvantage, the Kings were not defeated. Instead, thanks to the performance of Schroeder and others, the Kings defeated There was a wave of offensive climax to catch up with the score, that is, Jokic's presence at the time could help the Nuggets stabilize the situation. Otherwise, the Kings would have already taken the lead. However, in the fourth quarter of the game, with Westbrook's appearance, the Kings gradually completed the lead. In the end, the Kings also defeated the Nuggets in an upset.

After this game, Jokic accepted an interview and talked about the defeat. Jokic said this: We are not that good yet. If we want to accomplish something big (win a championship), we have to get better, we have to have a sense of urgency, we have to have confidence in shooting and rebounding. If we want to get something done, we need to do it better. It can be seen that Jokic is very dissatisfied with two points. He thinks that the Nuggets are not doing well in rebounding and offense. In fact, Jokic has such dissatisfaction. After all, the Nuggets have an advantage inside, but the Nuggets failed to protect the rebounds in the fourth quarter. Moreover, the Nuggets' offense was poor at that time, and they often relied on Jokic. On the other hand, the Kings not only had Westbrook to step up to help the team, but DeRozan was also able to step up, so Jokic's dissatisfaction was justified.

As for Westbrook's performance in this game, although Westbrook did not play very well in the first three quarters, Westbrook began to hit three-pointers shortly after the start of the fourth quarter. In the following games, Westbrook was extremely hard on rebounds, but when the team was in trouble, Westbrook He began to attack the inside to score points for the team, and at the critical moment, Westbrook was still able to hit three-pointers to withstand the Nuggets' counterattack. This was of great help to the Kings. At the end of the game, Westbrook scored 21 points, 5 rebounds and 11 assists. In the fourth quarter, Westbrook scored 15 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists on 6-of-7 shooting. At the same time, according to statistics, this is the 260th game of Westbrook's career with 20+10 assists, tying Harden for the fourth most in history, second only to Big O (410), Magic (295), and James (288).

When Westbrook performed like this, he was recognized by many people. After all, the Kings received a lot of doubts when they signed Westbrook. At the same time, Westbrook is still playing as a substitute this season, so it is really not easy to perform as he is now. After the game, Westbrook was interviewed by reporters and talked about the feeling of helping the team end the losing streak. Westbrook said: This victory is of great significance to us and injects strong motivation for us to return to home games later. Westbrook also had a direct showdown after the game. As Westbrook said, the importance of this game to the Kings is self-evident. After all, the Kings have suffered an 8-game losing streak, so the Kings urgently need to stop the decline. In the end, the Kings not only did such a thing, but also defeated a strong team like the Nuggets, so this is very important to the Kings. Maybe the Kings can take this opportunity to get out of the current predicament.

As for Murray, he really didn't recognize the reality. Although Murray played well in this game, at the critical moment, Murray's frequent strikes dragged down the team. Later, Murray handed over to Jokic to attack, and Jokic's outstanding performance just helped the Nuggets regain some suspense. But if Murray had done this earlier, the Nuggets might not have lost the game. And LaVine is not as good as one person here. This person is Schroeder. Although Schroeder's starting performance was poor some time ago, Schroeder played even better after returning to the bench. In this game, Schroeder even scored 21 points on 6-for-8. On the other hand, LaVine scored 21 points in this game. The offensive efficiency is not high, and LaVine's several three-pointers in the fourth quarter have a huge impact on the Kings. That is to say, Westbrook and DeRozan can step up, otherwise the Kings may not be able to win, so the Kings should also consider letting Schroeder replace LaVine at critical moments.
