On the 18th, Beijing time, the NBA Nuggets, which lacked the main players such as MVP center Jokic, defeated the Warriors 114-105 by relying on Gordon's career-high 38 points and Westbrook's triple-double, and the 36-year-old "Wei Shao" wrote a special record.
Westbrook
The Nuggets, including Jokic, Murray and Brown, are all exempt from the game, and Westbrook is also in the starting position.WatsonThe tacit understanding was excellent, and he handed out 11 assists and grabbed 7 rebounds in the first half.
However, after the easy basket, the Warriors strengthened their defense, Westbrook made more and more mistakes, but he still continued to thread the needle, and at 4 minutes and 10 seconds in the decisive quarter, he "pulled onions on dry ground" in front of the Warriors' defensive titan Peyton Jr., and threw a super difficult three-point shot, which not only helped the Nuggets regain a 10-point lead, but also won the 203rd triple-double of his career. With 34.1 seconds to go, Westbrook made a second shot near the free-throw line and threw in a lucky shot to end the game.
Westbrook with the ball
Westbrook played a maximum of 42 minutes today, shooting 5-of-18 from the field and 2-of-9 from three-point range, scoring 12 points, 16 assists, 12 rebounds and a triple-double, as well as 3 steals and 2 hot pots. According to StatMuse, Westbrook is the first player in NBA history to score these numbers in a single game.
"There's nothing new about this, you've seen me play like this before." Westbrook said. Although his performance today was not perfect, he threw a few "loaves" and had as many as 7 turnovers, so that Nuggets head coach Malone couldn't help but joke that he almost won the "big four", but still praised: "You can feel his aggressiveness and ability from the beginning of the game, he always leads the team, encourages his teammates, and always stands up when he is needed."
