He continued to shine with 24+5 three-pointers! Westbrook, who has a minimum salary, scored 20+ points in three consecutive games. American fans: It’s like going back to 2017

On November 8, the Kings lost to the Thunder and missed their winning streak. But in this game, Russell Westbrook, who has a basic salary of 3.63 million contract, once again contributed a gorgeous performance, with 24 points, 9 assists, 6 rebounds, 7 turnovers and 5 three-pointers in the game.

Before the game, US media Clutchpoints wrote: Westbrook should have retired at this point, missed the media day, missed the training camp, and only signed a non-guaranteed basic salary one week before the start of the game.

But on the verge of retirement, he performed so well, averaging more points per game than Savoy, averaging more free throws per game than Randall, and averaging more assists per game than Curry.

Every team stayed away from him, as if he was like a plague, but now he has become the most successful operation signed by the Kings in the free market. Westbrook never got the respect he deserved, he just needed a chance.

In the first 9 minutes of the first quarter, Westbrook made 4 of 6, 3 of 4 three-pointers, and scored 11 points and 2 rebounds. He could really score the three-pointers the Thunder allowed him.

It is worth mentioning that this game is the third game this season that Westbrook has served as the Kings' starting four, that's right! At 1.91 meters, he continued to play PF.

In the 19 minutes of the first half, Westbrook made 6 of 10 shots, 3 of 5 three-pointers, 16 points, 7 assists and 4 rebounds, with a true shooting percentage of 73.5%. Unfortunately, he still couldn't help the team narrow the point difference against the powerful Thunder.

In the third quarter, Westbrook scored 5 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist. After three quarters, he scored 21 points, 8 assists and 6 rebounds, another near-triple-double. In the last game, Westbrook just got the 204th triple-double of his career.

In the final quarter, Westbrook only played 7 minutes and hit a three-pointer before being replaced. In 35 minutes of the game, Westbrook made 9 of 17, 5 of 9 three-pointers, 24 points, 9 assists and 6 rebounds. His shooting percentage was 52.9%, and his three-point shooting percentage was 54.5%. The only drawback was that he made 7 turnovers.

American fan: I feel like I saw Westbrook playing in 2025 in 2017. (MVP season)

American fans: During the offseason, many people laughed at Westbrook for doing shooting training on a cruise ship. Now Westbrook uses his performance to make those who laugh at him look like clowns.
