Today, January 10, Beijing time, the Lakers at home to meet the Grizzlies, since entering this month, the Lakers have won 4 consecutive games, and from today's game against the Grizzlies, their Devils schedule has just begun, because the teams they encounter behind are the top few in the East and West. If the Lakers can gnaw the hard bones of the Grizzlies today, then their team cohesion and spirit will be even higher.
But after the 3rd quarter, the Lakers returned to the state of the Lake Three Collapse, and when they were more than 20 points behind in the 3rd quarter, they took center Howard up, but it did not help. With more than 8 minutes left in the 4th quarter, the Lakers had already surrendered and fully put on the bench game. But surprisingly, the substitute line-up led by Rivers actually hit a 21-0 climax, almost pulling the game back. But in the end, it was helpless, digging too big a pit to win the game.
In an interview after the game, Vogel talked about the Grizzlies being one of the hottest teams in the league right now. And their center Adams didn't play, which made the Grizzlies play more flexibly and harder to defend. In addition to that, Vogel said that because the team lost too many scoring opportunities under the basket, their defensive attention dropped, which made the game collapse.
In fact, this season, Vogel has been questioned very much, because this season he has given up the center and is completely obsessed with small lineups. And he is also very rigid, has been using a small lineup, not taking a flexible approach, putting Jordan Jr. and Howard on the bench all the time, no matter what type of team and what state of the team, Vogel always comes up with a small lineup. Do you think the Lakers have been losing against strong teams, and Vogel's chances of getting off will increase?
