Split: Maintaining the intensity of a fast-paced game is difficult unless you are 22-year-old Westbrook

6686 Sports November 6th NBA regular season, the Trail Blazers will face the Thunder at home today.

In a pre-match interview, the team's interim coach Split talked about the team's fast-paced play: "I think when you play very fast, if you want the players to maintain this competition intensity, you have to let them play shorter times and rotate more frequently. It is really difficult to maintain it all the time - unless you are 22-year-old Westbrook. But for ordinary players, they have to play for 12 consecutive minutes. It is almost impossible to maintain high intensity. You can only let them go all out in every round."

The 22-year-old Westbrook played in all 82 games in the 2010-11 season, averaging 34.7 minutes per game, scoring 21.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, 8.2 assists and 1.9 interceptions, and was selected to the second team of the season. Although Westbrook is 36 years old this season, he still averaged 13.9 points, 5.9 rebounds, 5 assists and 1.4 interceptions per game after joining the Kings, with a shooting percentage of 432% and a three-point shooting percentage of 39.4%.
