Westbrook did not perform well at the end of the regular season, and at that time, some American media broke the news that he was dissatisfied with his status in the team, which led to the Nuggets firing the head coach and manager. Recently, ESPN's Sherburne reported that after the Nuggets and Clippers lost in G2 in the first round of the playoffs, Gordon and Westbrook broke out into a heated argument, and one of the anonymous teammates called Westbrook's performance quite "immature".
Speaking after yesterday's game, Gordon said: "Russ is one of the most talented players of all time, to be honest, he's been very important to us all season, we're good brothers, we've spent more time with our team-mates than our family, there are always times when we disagree, but that conversation was limited to our own team. ”
"That report was just a scribble." "It couldn't be further from the truth, Russ has always been a great team-mate for us, he's not just a good player, he's a good guy. He's going to keep contributing to us and he's going to play a key role in the next two games to help us win. ”
In addition, former NBA guard "Little River", who was teammates with Westbrook during the Rockets eraSting Riversalso posted a bitter criticism on X: "If you want to come out in the bright light, there are so many national platforms now, and the names of public sources are disclosed, otherwise don't engage in anonymous revelations!" ”
Sting RiversHe said that he had worked with Westbrook and would never use the word "immature" to describe him, "He showed me what a true professional athlete is, whether it is his hard training off the field, or his energy, pride and enthusiasm on the field." ”
