On January 20, Beijing time, the Lakers in the whirlpool continued to meet the crazy discussion of reporters from all walks of life. As the manager, Vogel is undoubtedly like a needle felt. Earlier, the two famous reporters reported that Vogel almost dropped out of class after the Lakers' crushing defeat to the Nuggets. More and more questions and accusations also flocked to Vogel. However, Walshman's former disciple Danny Green recently supported the coach, saying that many things were not Vogel's fault, and pointed the spearhead at 2 objects!
Danny Green played for the Lakers in 2019-20, playing for Vogel and helping the team win the final championship that season. That season, Danny Green started all 68 games, averaging 8 points and 3.3 boards per game. As a top 3D player, Danny Green is the player all coaches want to have. In his own podcast, Danny Green told the truth for his former mentor!
Danny Green said: "I like Coach Vogel. He was given a bad deck of cards, and in many things it wasn't his fault, and he was blamed for not being justified. I think he's a good coach and I think he should stay there... You can't get a player to hit a shot, you can't get a player to stop making mistakes, you can't get a player to defend well, and that's exactly what it takes to win
Obviously, Danny Green's words pointed the finger at two objects - Lakers management and Westbrook. Who gave Vogel a bad deck? Of course, it is the Lakers management. And who can't hit the shot, keep making mistakes, and don't defend well? There is no doubt that it is Wei Shao. I have to say that as an outsider, Danny Green's bystander Qing, he knows that the current situation of the Lakers is not something that can be solved by changing a coach.
Therefore, there are many factors that contribute to the current poor situation of the Lakers. But the most important of these is the management's various strange operations before the start of the season, including trading to Wei Shao, including hoarding veterans. It seems that from the beginning, the Lakers executives did not want to storm the championship this season, but just to create more topics and attract more spotlight.
