Lakers star James Worthy collapsed in the process of recording the show today, watching the Lakers with a huge lead being crushed by LeVert's giant planets, Worthy directly buried his head, as the most successful rookie in the history of the Lakers, Worthy really did not want to see his former home team sink, and the Pacers who fought away finally defeated the Lakers 111-104. Statistics from key players on both sides, on the Pacers, the king of the final quarter, LeVert, bombed 30 points and 8 rebounds, and Sabonis Jr. contributed 20 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists with injury. For the Lakers, James had 30 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists, and Tucker had 20 points, 2 rebounds and 7 assists.
Compared with the above 4 players, Wei Shao's performance is relatively sluggish, although today has made many achievements outside the three-point line, but the two-point shooting rate is still very low, a total of 17 shots in the game, only 5 shots, 14 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists. Because Lakers coach Vogel replaced Wei Shao 3 minutes and 52 seconds before the end of the game, many media reported in detail on Wo Shuai and Wei Shao after the game. It is worth mentioning that many people invariably associate the small episodes that appeared in today's game with the gangs within the Lakers. It is understood that in a regular season game that ended before, the Nuggets won the Lakers by 37 points at home, and it was this fiasco that exposed the Lakers' internal problems to the outside world.
All indications show that the Lakers have been divided into two camps, there is currently a competitive relationship between Rambis and Pelinka, with his wife and Lakers boss Jenny Bass for many years of friendship, the vast majority of Lakers executives support Lambis. Agent-turned-Pelinka can only rely on the player gang, using the appeal of James and Rich Paul to break the wrist of Rambis, and Wo Shuai (Pelinka) and Westbrook (Rambis) become a pawn in their respective camps. According to previous reports, when the Lakers management decided to adjust the lineup last offseason, Lambis in order to help the Lakers attract traffic, tried to overcome public opinion, and exchanged change for the Wizards in exchange for Wei Shao, and Pelinka, who was opposed at the time, was very optimistic about DeRozan.
From a rational point of view, although DeRozan may not necessarily be very suitable for the Lakers, the current reality is that Westbrook has not been able to have a good chemical reaction with his new teammates this season, resulting in the Lakers' already flawed defensive system being more fragile, but at this time, Lambis not only did not stand up and take the initiative to take responsibility, but threw the pressure to Pelinka's side, and Wo Shuai was once involved in the rumors of dismissal. Wo Shuai, who is bent on reversing the situation, chose to take risks and tried to help the Lakers get out of the predicament by cutting Wei Shao's playing time, so there was today's "famous scene", Wei Shao was completely DNP by Wo Shuai at the last time, that is, the familiar snow hiding.
As we all know, Wei Shao's personality and temper are relatively straight, and after discovering that Wo Shuai did not trust him, Wei Shao silently left the stadium 8.4 seconds before the end of the game, a move that was not discussed with any of the Lakers coaching team members. The Lakers players are even more confused, according to the team reporter Dave McMenamin reported that after the game, there were Lakers players waiting for Wei Shao to go to the bath together, when they found that Wei Shao had disappeared. From a Lakers insider, it was learned that Wei Shao's unauthorized departure angered many teammates, because they originally wanted to comfort Wei Shao at the first time, but Wei Shao did not even say hello when he left. There is a saying one, really don't blame some Lakers players think more, empathize with it, if the teammates who get along day and night are not willing to open their hearts, face the problem and do not want to try to solve, but choose to escape, will you have similar emotions?
Not only the Lakers players, but also from the post-game interview, it can be seen that Wo Shuai has completely torn his face with Wei Shao, when a reporter asked why he replaced Wei Shao at the last moment, Wo Shuai did not think about it, and directly told his true thoughts: Wei Shao is not a player who can help him win the game. It is reported that the reason why Wo Shuai said this, in addition to the reason that Wei Shao left the field without authorization, is more because of the tactical level. At the pre-game preparation meeting between the Lakers and the Pacers, Coach Woe repeatedly stressed that LeVert likes to attack with the right hand, how the Lakers players should deal with it, and as a result, when it comes to the game, Wei Shao still did not make a correct judgment when defending LeVert, and the lack of execution is an important reason for Wo Shuai's strategic abandonment of Wei Shao.
Up to now, the Lakers infighting has not the slightest intention of ending in advance, but it is still continuing to ferment, but compared with before, Lambis's supporters are obviously a lot less, as the leader of the Lakers player gang, James and Melon are fully supporting Wo Shuai, they have recently stated that no matter which player in the Lakers' future DNP, Wo Shuai is thinking about winning, he did not deliberately target someone, Melon also deliberately shouted Wei Shao, saying that Wei Shao must learn to understand the coach's good intentions, The Whole Lakers will find a way to help him figure this out.
