Westbrook s "cold-face killer" speech caused heated discussion, Nuggets win more than luck

Basketball

In the NBA playoffs in the King of Kings on April 30, the Nuggets defeated the Clippers 131-115, and the total score in the series was 3-2 to get the match point. In this game, all Nuggets exploded, six players scored in double digits, Murray scored 43 points, Gordon contributed 23 points, and Westbrook came on as a substitute for 25 minutes, scored 21 points on 3 of 6 three-pointers, becoming the key man.

In contrast, Harden was in a sluggish state, scoring only 11 points and making only 2 three-pointers. The team's overall offense was weak, and it was difficult to stop the Nuggets from blooming in multiple points on the defensive end. After the game, Westbrook said in the interview: "My fun may be a little different from others, and I may not smile." Instantly, the fan circle was ignited, and some people joked that he pretended to be "against him again", and more people sighed "This is the real leader."

To be honest, what convinced me the most about this game was Westbrook's "cold-faced killer". You ask him what he thought? People didn't say "team cooperation" or "fan support" like other players, and directly said: "My fun may be a little different from others." It sounds quite awesome, but if you taste it carefully - isn't this awesome? This is a real and powerful person saying: I don’t rely on emoticons and chicken soup, I only use data to speak!

Look at Westbrook's performance: 25 minutes, 8 of 15 shots, 3-pointers and 6 three-pointers, 21 points. This is not an ordinary victory, but a declaration of questioning with data. Especially when facing the old master Clippers, he scored three-pointers without hesitation, and his eyes were fierce when he broke through and layup. You said he got a basic salary, right? They just used their basic salary to do all-star things. This attitude of "I give but I never take credit" is the top quality of professional players.

Look at the Clippers again, fans always say that Harden is not cruel enough, but have they really seen this game? When Braun stung Harden and refused to let go, what did the rest of the Clippers do? When Leonard and Zubac struggled to support the penalty area, Harden's downturn directly ruined hopes for a comeback. The Nuggets rely on "the whole nation is a soldier", but the Clippers are always "fighting alone" - isn't this gap the root of losing?

In fact, Westbrook's "cold face" is not indifference, but a kind of soberness. He knew why he was fighting: not for traffic or applause, but for proof that "even in the 17th season, I am still one of the best competitors." Look at his face after the game, it's cold, but there's a fire in his heart. This attitude is worth learning by all athletes.

End

Nuggets won not only the ball, but also the hearts of the people. Westbrook tells us with his actions: a true leader does not need fancy speeches, and it is the bottom line to stand up at critical moments. And what about the Clippers? In the sixth life-and-death battle, Harden and Leonard must recover their "ruthlessness", otherwise they will be pressed to the ground by the "cold-faced killers" of the Nuggets.
