On January 17, Beijing time, today James updated a social media message to apologize for the Lakers' poor record, James wrote: "Lakers Country, I apologize, I promise we will get better!" "After James sent it out on social media, there was a lot of controversy in an instant!
In yesterday's game against the Nuggets, the Lakers lost miserably with a 37-point disadvantage, and the Purple and Gold Army was powerless in the whole game, and such a performance also attracted overwhelming accusations, and the Lakers' famous magician Johnson criticized the Lakers for lack of urgency, and James's defensive attitude was also questioned.
James has now come forward to apologize publicly, this is James's attitude, the responsibility and responsibility of the first person in the league! James, who is already 37 years old this season, averaged 36.7 minutes per game and averaged 28.9 points, 7.5 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.2 blocks per game, including the second highest average in the league.
In this regard, the US media said that the 37-year-old James really can't press the defense all the time, the defense is not focused enough, but it is not James who should apologize, and the Lakers should not be apologized by James, but should part ways with Vogel.
After yesterday's loss, Vogel did not take the initiative to take responsibility, but said: We are in a slump, there is a lot of misplaced trouble in defense, the opponent dominates the offensive and defensive ends, and finally beats us to the point of, we need to play better. Vogel did not point out how to make targeted adjustments.
Vogel's biggest problem at the moment is that he can't make full use of the existing players and has always been obsessed with the small ball lineup! In addition, Lakers reporter Jorge also talked about the use of Westbrook, he believes that the team's current platooning is too bad, it is indescribably bad, Vogel should let Westbrook play as a substitute, he and Howard and three shooters of the lineup is a perfect match.
