Russel Westbrook is more than aware that his start with the Lakers is not the best one could hope for. In fact, at the end of their disappointing first official meeting, the player was martyred to the point of needing reassurance from his teammates. But Westbrook prefers to avoid the drama around her figure. «It is a whole process. I am comfortable in adversity, I never panic.
«Especially at the beginning of the season. The course is very long »the base reassures in recent statements for Sports Illustrated. Westbrook starred in a more than positive game against the Memphis Grizzlies, distributing 13 assists in the game that has been most involved in attack. “We are getting to know each other. They are trying to learn how to run alongside me and play something faster. I’m getting used to playing without the ball and other kinds of things. It is a process. It will not be solved in a week. And he is right, the demand in the Lakers environment is always maximum, but a team like the one formed this offseason needs time to know what suits him and how to execute the plan that best suits him. Now it is up to Westbrook and the rest of his teammates to demonstrate whether the last game was the first brick or a grain of sand in the desert.
