12 points, 5 rebounds and 10 assists! Just today, an NBA record that had been standing for 39 years was broken by Westbrook

On November 2, the NBA regular season continued, and the Sacramento Kings went away to challenge the Milwaukee Bucks. The Kings are in the midst of a three-game losing streak. Westbrook has been the starting power forward for two consecutive games but failed to save the team from dire straits. The Kings coach changed the lineup again and sent out a starting lineup of DeRozan + LaVine + Sasha + Schroeder + Caldwell. The Bucks had previously upset the Golden State Warriors in the absence of Antetokounmpo, and their morale was good. In this campaign, Antetokounmpo returned, and the Bucks' starting five were Antetokounmpo + Turner + Rollins + Trent + Green.

In this game, the Bucks took the lead in opening up the situation at home, scoring 8 three-pointers in a single quarter and scoring 47 points, taking an 11-point lead in the first quarter. In the second quarter, the Big Three of the Kings blossomed inside and outside, and once evened the score difference. After changing sides and fighting again, the Kings became more and more courageous and scored consecutive three-pointers, taking the lead in one fell swoop. The Bucks were completely stunned, and their offense was powered off. The Kings seized the opportunity and launched an 18-5 offensive, directly widening the point difference to double digits. In the final decisive battle, Kuzma and Antetokounmpo led the team to counterattack. With Turner hitting a three-pointer, the Bucks once chased the point difference to 1 point. At the critical moment, Antetokounmpo made a fatal mistake, and Schroeder made 2 free throws to help the Kings seal the victory. In the end, the Kings narrowly defeated the Bucks 135-133.

From falling behind by 15 points to overtaking by 11 points and then being chased to 1 point, the Kings played another iconic roller coaster game, with ups and downs, ups and downs. The process was very exciting, but the victory was hard-won. You have to believe it: Laoli's team is indeed easily reversed. In this game, Antetokounmpo returned, and the Bucks' one-star and four-shooter system was operating at high speed. The team made 15 of 32 shots from beyond the three-point line, with a shooting percentage of 46.9%. In comparison, the Kings made only 10 of 28 shots from beyond the three-point line, with a shooting percentage of only 35.7%. At the same time, the Bucks attacked at full speed and crushed the Kings 22-7 on fast break. The key to the Kings being able to have the last laugh was that they controlled the penalty area, outrebounding the Bucks 8 times 38-30, and suppressing their opponents in the paint 60-50.

Antetokounmpo is as strong as ever, scoring 26 points, 11 rebounds, and 8 assists. He used points to activate the team. Six members of the Bucks team scored in double figures. But the problem is that the Bucks' small lineup is really unreliable on the defensive end. The Kings' four giants collectively went wild and played their strongest game since joining forces, with everyone scoring 20+! Among them, LaVine scored 31 points + 4 rebounds + 6 three-pointers, Schroder contributed 24 points + 5 rebounds + 7 assists + 3 three-pointers, Sabonis scored 24 points + 13 rebounds + 6 assists, and DeRozan scored 29 points + 4 rebounds + 3 assists. The Kings' four giants are all on their own, both internally and externally, and they can't do without Westbrook's push.

In this campaign, Westbrook returned to the bench and played 33 minutes. He made 4 of 14 shots (0 of 5 three-pointers), 4 of 4 free throws, contributed 12 points, 5 rebounds, 10 assists, and 2 steals. He made only 1 turnover and had a plus-minus value of +14, the highest in the team! Westbrook's shooting efficiency is indeed not high, but on a night when the Big Four are all showing off, this doesn't matter. The important thing is that Westbrook has transformed into a master of organization, constantly delivering cannonballs to his teammates, and his ability to connect the team is still at the top of the league. Moreover, he controls mistakes very well, and he is tough enough on the defensive end. It is commendable for his courage to capture Antetokounmpo alive. At the same time, Westbrook also broke a 39-year-old NBA record. According to statistics, this is the 19th time that Westbrook has scored at least 10 points and 10 assists as a substitute, breaking the NBA historical record (18 times) set by the historical assist king Stockton in the 1986-87 season.

Westbrook signed a one-year, $3.6 million non-guaranteed veteran minimum salary contract with the Kings after the start of training camp. But what was the result? After a while, Westbrook once again had the feeling of being the main force! In the past 4 games, Westbrook averaged 14.5 points + 5.5 rebounds + 5 assists + 1.8 steals per game. In the words of fans, Westbrook really didn't ask for more money from the Kings! Shine the old sword again in front of the formation, the cold light is as cold as before! Westbrook, keep up the good work, let’s wait and see and cherish it! Fans and friends, what do you think of this? Come and leave me a comment to discuss.
