Today, the Lakers challenged the Nuggets on the road, and in the end they lost to the Nuggets by 37 points and scored a fiasco. After the end of this game, many Lakers fans were very disappointed with the performance of the home team. In fact, it's not just the fans who are disappointed, we can also feel the sense of loss of the Lakers players. James did not give an interview after today's game. It's very rare to know, which proves that James is also very unhappy with the performance of the team.
Today Howard talked about the Lakers' performance on the court today after the game, he believes that the Lakers players have a problem with their mentality and do not have the desire to win on the court. There is no doubt that Howard's words were to the point. From the offensive and defensive conversion on the court, we can clearly feel that some of the Lakers players have a problem with the mentality on the court.
In today's game, some Lakers players did not choose to defend for the first time after they could not score, resulting in a large number of defensive counterattacks by the Nuggets today. The Nuggets were five-on-four at halftime when defending back-backs today because the Lakers tend to have one person give up on defense. Let's not talk about whether the Lakers' lineup can prevent the Nuggets' offense, but the defensive attitude must at least be correct. Giving up defense when the team can't defend is obviously an irresponsible performance. Nowadays, the defensive attitude of some Lakers players has gone a big problem.
The Lakers may have a certain weakness in the lineup now, but they should not lose their spirit. Vogel, the head coach of a team, is clearly unqualified. If Cole had seen the players not defending on the court, perhaps Cole would have angrily slammed the tactical board off the court, but Vogel did not express emotion. He is clearly unqualified as a head coach in this regard.
The Next time the Lakers want to win, they must change their playing attitude and make every goal must be fought. Even if you can't score on the offensive end, you have to defend as hard as possible on the defensive end, and there are players on the court who don't defend us fans can see it clearly in front of the screen. As players of the same team, they can see it at a glance on the sidelines. So a lot of players like Howard who play hard will naturally feel a sense of loss and feel unbalanced.
The current Lakers are in a turbulent phase. The team must have someone to stand up and raise the morale of the team, only then can the Lakers slowly get on the right track.
