In last year's offseason, the Lakers management was full of aggression, took the initiative to break up the championship-winning lineup, sent away the fresh forces Kuzma and Pop, gave up Caruso who wanted to stay in the team, traded Wei Shao, and signed a lot of veterans who are more famous than their strength. Just looking at the Lakers' roster, nearly half of the Hall of Fame players are very luxurious, and many fans who are overwhelmed by feelings and reason have very high expectations for the Lakers.
However, the ideal is very full, the reality is very bone, the Lakers' journey this season is full of thorns, suffered from the double attack of the epidemic and injury, the big list of each game is different, and many players have not played together, which has brought a lot of challenges and pressure to the work of head coach Vogel.
However, the biggest headache for Vogel is not the shortage of personnel, but how to solve the problem of how to solve the world problem of Westbrook's compatibility with the other two stars. This is almost insoluble, because Wei Shao's shortcomings are too stark and fatal, which is not a secret in the whole league, as a big core ball holder with almost no projection threat, Wei Shao is doomed to be a lone hero.
In order to cover up Westbrook's weakness as much as possible and play his characteristics of impacting the inside line, Vogel constantly adjusted the starting lineup, the lineup became shorter and shorter, and even put James in the starting fifth position, but could not play a continuous attack! Frequent lineup adjustments have not worked, many people began to put the responsibility on the coach Vogel, after the 37-point fiasco against the Nuggets, rumors that Vogel could be out of class at any time, which caused a hot discussion on social media.
In this regard, NBA celebrity Perkins supported Vogel in the show. Perkins said: "It's ridiculous that Vogel is a scapegoat for the team, and I want to see James and Thick Brow stand up for him because the Lakers' current difficult situation is not Vogel's fault." ”
It is obviously unreasonable to let Vogel be the scapegoat, because he has just led the Lakers to the championship for less than 2 years, and now it is difficult to completely deny him, which is difficult to convince. Danny Green, who followed Vogel to help the Lakers win their 17th championship trophy, also supported Vogel on the podcast show.
Tielin pointed out the objective impact of the Lakers' injuries and epidemics, affirming that Vogel is a great coach. In addition, Green also talked about the lakers' compatibility problems: "Many Lakers players have overlapping functions, it is difficult to play a personal advantage, you can't let players shoot goals, you can't make players no longer make mistakes, you can't let players do a good job of defense." These are the top three elements the Lakers need to win right now. So, the situation was tough for Vogel. ”
Tie Lin's words hit the nail on the head, 3 in a row you can't, you almost said Wei Shao's name! And Westbrook is the Lakers general manager Pelinka made a deal, and there is news that James is also an important supporter of the deal. If you really want to go back to the roots, Pelinka's responsibility is greater, and James also has to bear some responsibility.
However, now the accountability for the Lakers is not significant, because Wei Shao does not have any trading market, the Lakers can not fundamentally solve the problem, can only awkwardly finish this season, pray that Wei Shao can raise the team's ceiling in the playoffs!
