Their relationship is actually pretty good, neither bad nor good. After all, this friendship thing cannot be said openly. The Thunder's improved record has a lot to do with Westbrook delegating more power to George on the offensive end and focusing more on defense and organization. He lets George and Schroeder organize the offense more, especially at critical moments, and takes the ball more often. The power was handed over to George, the team's most stable scoring point. He was willing to be more of a support, and the two became more and more understanding.

It is no exaggeration to say that this year, their tacit understanding has exceeded our imagination. George averaged 29 points, 6.8 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game, with a field goal percentage of 57.9 and a three-point shooting percentage of 54.36. This performance also triggered "Truth" Pierce's post-game praise: George is playing at a super high level and he should be in the MVP discussion. On the contrary, his friend Westbrook shot 56.7 from the field and 55.32 from the three-point range.

Looking at the overall situation, the two of them are in the same situation. When talking about Russell Westbrook's 6 steals, George said: "He is an excellent passer. He changes the game in different ways. Although he doesn't score much, he is special to us. This is another It was a game full of his energy, and he was very special to us." When talking about his 33 points, George said: "It's very free, there are no restrictions, just play hard and try to make your teammates better."

During the game, we have witnessed their explosive power. Moreover, after the Thunder expanded their three-point advantage in the second quarter, they changed sides and fought again in the second half. George took a direct three-pointer from Westbrook. The Thunder stole Westbrook and dunked directly with both hands. Grant's two dunks and Adams' hook forced the Jazz defense to shrink back and entered George's moment. A three-pointer, two free throws for a foul, another three-pointer, and another three-pointer by George after Adams passed the offensive rebound. O'Neal fouled and made three free throws
