The Western Conference is in complete chaos, and the Thunder have turned into a spoiler! Are you blaming Westbrook? The King is the best destination.

Since the start of the new season, the defending champion Thunder have been in a hot competitive state. In the past 11 regular season games, they have only lost one game. In addition to Alexander's incredible performance, the team also has good performance. Seeing the current Oklahoma City totem, I can't help but think back to the Thunder's three young masters in the past. Unfortunately, time flies by like a fleeting moment, and they have already missed their peak period. However, they are still using their remaining energy as a championship team, trying to create more topics in the NBA where there are so many strong players. As a former FMVP, MVP and scoring champion, Kevin Durant now plays for the Houston Rockets. His reunion with Udoka has given the young team a key player like the backbone. The team managed to achieve an excellent record of 6 wins and 3 losses. In the past 9 games, Durant averaged 26.2 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game. Although the explosive power is no longer what it used to be, when the "God of Death" waves the sickle in his hand, its power is still frightening.

At the same time, James Harden also performed well. As the absolute backcourt commander of the Los Angeles Clippers, he has shown profound skills in organizing and connecting the team. Even if the team's record is ups and downs, Harden's decision-making ability cannot be questioned. His phenomenal performance of 23 points, 5.2 rebounds and 9 assists per game is far from what he should do at his age. Seeing his former eldest brother and third brother perform so well, Westbrook may feel a little embarrassed. During the offseason, he was rejected by Denver management, and there was even news that he might retire early. Fortunately, the Sacramento Kings management kindly invited him, and Westbrook readily agreed to bring his talents to the Atlantic Division. This seemingly simple move made Lakers fans feel stressed. If James hadn't invited Pelinka to intercept Westbrook, perhaps the future Hall of Famer wouldn't have reached a trough prematurely.

However, the various doubts he encountered in the past have quietly laid the groundwork for the "second spring" of his career. Although Westbrook can only average 14 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists per game, the role he plays on the court is truly irreplaceable. His passionate style of play, freehand passing, and steady and accurate shooting all announced the glorious return of the former King of Thunder. A triple-double in a single game, a miraculous performance, came belatedly, but it finally came as promised. He has become a unique presence in the history of the NBA. He can achieve triple-doubles in 7 different teams, which is beyond words. This record, which shocked the past and surpassed the present, is probably a peak that is difficult for future generations to reach and surpass.

Seeing Westbrook's stunning and life-changing performance, new coach Christie made an immediate decision and put him into the starting lineup and replaced Schroeder. And the only one who can respond to this trust is the past MVP. Even if there are powerful players such as DeRozan, LaVine, and even Sabonis around him, they still can't cover up Westbrook's dazzling edge. Every time he appears, he is like an invisible giant hand, tightly grasping the heartstrings of the fans. However, such a strong team on paper has always struggled to turn its advantage into victory. As of now, the Sacramento Kings have only achieved a record of 3 wins and 7 losses, only leading the Mavericks and Pelicans by a narrow margin, and firmly ranking third from the bottom in the Western Conference standings.

Regarding the team's current predicament, Kings reporter Ethan Minton did not follow the Lakers' example, but instead whitewashed Westbrook. The reason why he did not have absolute dominance is entirely due to Westbrook's teammates. However, the lack of tacit understanding and poor coordination among the teammates led to poor rotation and output, which hindered the team's progress. Perhaps at this moment, I realized that the thorn in Westbrook's heart came from the damage caused by the Purple and Gold Army.
