The Lakers lost half of the rebounds to the Timberwolves! Why not go to center Howard? Vogel answered cleverly
The Lakers narrowly won the Timberwolves 108-103, the Lakers experienced a thrilling game, although the Timberwolves lacked major generals, Towns and Russell were isolated and absent, but the Timberwolves' bench and young players fought very fiercely, played well, and the Lakers fought to the end, the two sides fought to the end, the score was always alternate, and even the Timberwolves chased the score 3 times, once surpassed the Lakers, forming a situation where you chased after me, but the Lakers after all, the old players, the key moment to see the superstar, Ginger is still old spicy, In the end, the Lakers narrowly defeated the Timberwolves and laughed to the end.
For this game, Xiaobian must say that although the Timberwolves lost, but the Timberwolves interior attack and defense did not lose, on this point absolutely defeated the Lakers, just say not to practice the fake handle, or use the data to speak, first look at the rebounds, the Timberwolves three quarters of rebounds are 42, the Lakers only 23, the whole Timberwolves rebounded to grab 56, and the Lakers only grabbed 28 rebounds, coincidentally, the Timberwolves today's rebounds are exactly twice as many as the Lakers, which shows that the Lakers were abused by the Timberwolves in rebounding.
There are many such shots in this game, whether it is a frontcourt rebound, or a backcourt rebound, the Timberwolves can grab 3 or 4 times in a row under the basket, shoot and grab again, and even pick up the rebound, on the contrary, the Lakers, one by one, standing there do not know what to do, no one grabs the rebound, the Lakers rely on a 37-year-old Man James to grab the rebound, James grabs 7 rebounds, which is one-fourth of the Lakers' rebounds, Johnson has 2 rebounds, Westbrook has 3 rebounds, Anthony has 1 rebound, and the starting Munch has 0 rebounds. This set of data can see how bad the Lakers rebounding, or grabbing rebounds is not active, it can also be said that the Lakers can not grab rebounds at all, active and not, relying on a thirty-year-old Man James to grab rebounds can be long-
Looking at the Timberwolves rebounding situation, Jared grabbed 12 rebounds, his height is only 205 cm, a substitute center Naz Reed also grabbed 11 rebounds, Edwards 7 rebounds, Bench Jordon also grabbed 8 rebounds, more exaggerated is that Beverley actually grabbed 9 rebounds, 2 more rebounds than James, to know that Beverley is only 185 cm tall, which is enough to show that grabbing rebounds to fight, the Lakers are not enthusiastic enough in this regard.
In this game, the Timberwolves' bench center Naz Reid can be said to have exploded the Lakers' inner line, wantonly trampling on the Lakers' restricted area, Reid played 30 minutes, shot 17 shots 10, all from the inside attack, grabbed 11 rebounds and 2 assists, scored 23 points, this Reed usually rarely plays, today can cut 23 points and 11 rebounds, he really did not expect the Lakers to be so fun in the penalty area, he saw him go to freedom under the basket, because the Lakers inside line often a ghost shadow can not be seen, empty, The Lakers' interior line was blown up by a bench center for the Timberwolves.
After watching this game, there must be a kind of thinking, this game, the Lakers inside line was blown up by the Timberwolves, why not on Howard and Jordan Jr., why Vogel put Howard and Jordan Jr. aside, risking a lot of scolding and failure, this is puzzling, why is this?
After the game, Lakers head coach Vogel was interviewed by media reporters, Vogel talked about the performance of the team, but also admitted that the Lakers did a bad job in rebounding today, but in the fourth quarter to solve the problem of mistakes and rebounds, and finally opened the score and won.
The reporter asked why this game is not a center, the rebounding gap is so large, why not on the big one? Vogel put it this way, when the team was beaten by the Timberwolves in terms of rebounding, he suppressed the urge to send a big one, why, why?
Vogel's explanation was that "in the way the Timberwolves rush to grab rebounds, rebounds will be a problem whether the team sends a big man or not." ”
Vogel said that according to the way the Timberwolves grab the rebound, even if it is useless on Howard and Jordan Jr., so he controlled this impulse, resolutely not a big one, Howard really has such a bad, but according to the usual Howard rebounding situation, it should not be so bad, on today's situation, the Timberwolves do not have Downs, if on Howard, he will blow up the Timberwolves on the inside line, grab 15 rebounds is not called more, anyway, I believe, the coach does not want to use a person, there will be a hundred explanations, a thousand reasons, Fortunately, I won, otherwise Vogel would have to carry the black cauldron today and would not be able to eat and walk!
