Westbrook, you and your third brother Harden are really a pair of enemies!
10:23am, 11 May 2025【Basketball】
In the first round tiebreak match between the Clippers and the Nuggets, Nuggets player Westbrook came on as a substitute, made 5 of 9 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, scoring 16 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 steals, and personally sent the Clippers led by Harden out of the playoffs.
And this is not the first time Westbrook has cheated Harden. Throughout his career, Westbrook has cheated Harden many times in different periods.
Thunder period
In fact, the real reason why Harden left the Thunder was not that the Rockets gave more millions, but because both Harden and Westbrook needed to hold the ball. The defeat in the finals made the Thunder's management believe that Harden and Westbrook were not compatible. So they prefer to leave Ibaka in the inside and send defender Harden to the Rockets. During the Rockets period, Harden spent eight years with the Rockets, the Rockets were always one of the strong teams in the West. The team's real decline from prosperity started with Paul's trade in Westbrook. Because Westbrook's shooting from the outside was too poor, when he and Capela were on the court, the space on the court was very crowded, which forced the Rockets to trade Capela away. This operation became the fuse for Harden to leave the Rockets later.
Clippers Period
Last year, Harden applied for a trade to come to the Clippers, on the one hand, hoping to join forces with Leonard and Paul George to compete for the championship. On the other hand, because his second brother Westbrook is in the Clippers, Harden hopes to realize his dream of winning with Westbrook.
However, in the playoffs last year, Westbrook's performance was simply disaster-level. In the six playoffs, he averaged only 6.3 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.7 turnovers per game, with a shooting percentage of 26%, a three-point shooting percentage of 23.5%, and even a free throw shooting percentage of only 61.5%. This made the opponent feel assured that Westbrook would shoot and double-team Harden unscrupulously. In the end, the Clippers were defeated by the Mavericks in the playoffs and were eliminated in the first round.
Nuggets During the Nuggets period, it was not that enemies were not gathering. Westbrook turned to the Nuggets after leaving the Clippers. Unexpectedly, the Clippers and the Nuggets met in the first round of the playoffs this year. However, Westbrook, who could not make any time and space in the Clippers last year, was extremely accurate when he represented the Nuggets in the old Clippers this year. In the six games played in
, they averaged 13.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game, and their three-point shooting percentage was even as high as 41.9%, and they could make 2.2 three-pointers per game. Westbrook only scored 4 three-pointers in his six playoff games last year. It was Westbrook's stable performance on the bench that eliminated the old master Clippers and once again cut off Harden's dream of winning.
When he was a teammate, his condition was extremely poor and he cheated Harden. When he was an opponent, he played so well and cheated Harden. Second brother, why do you just cheat on third brother?
