On January 20, Beijing time, due to the Lakers' poor record, Vogel fell into a class crisis, and even almost was fired by the Lakers; for this, the Lakers' old general Danny Green supported Vogel and pointed out a series of problems in the Lakers, and the famous Perkins bluntly said that James and Thick Brow should stand up to support him.
Danny Green said on the show: "I like Coach Vogel, he's great. That's one of the reasons I don't want to be a coach. Because he had a bad deck in his hand, it was hard to deal with in that situation, especially due to injuries and covid-19, and he was missing some of the best players in the squad; on many things he was blamed for, and I don't think it was his fault at all, there was no reason to speak of.
Green also said bluntly: "I think Coach Vogel is a good coach, I think he should stay there, and he also proved that he can do it."
Green also pointed out the problems within the Lakers, saying: Coaches are just difficult to solve the problems of some players. A lot of players are doing the same thing, so it's hard to get them to fit together, you can't get the players to hit the shots, you can't get the players to stop making mistakes, you can't get the players to defend well. These are the three main factors needed to win. So, the situation he faces is difficult.
Inaccurate shooting, bizarre mistakes and defensive attitudes are the reasons why the Lakers lost that Green pointed out.
For Vogel's near-dismissal, the famous Perkins said: "It is ridiculous that Frank Vogel has become a scapegoat for the team, and I want to see LeBron James and Anthony Davis stand up for him, because it is not Vogel's fault that the Lakers are in such a position now.
The Lakers are eighth in the West with 22 wins and 22 losses, have a poor record this season, and have been hovering around the playoff qualifications, so who do you think should be the most responsible for the Lakers?
