Perhaps starting today when the Lakers lost to the Pacers 104:111, the Lakers' locker room contradiction will really begin.
For the team to lose, the management should have a bit of a score in mind.
Even with all the rhetoric and vows James says, the lineup has obvious flaws and can't be improved again.
If you don't make a trade, the Lakers this season can only maintain such a state and strength to play, in fact, can they enter the playoffs and also put a big question mark?
The last time the Lakers won the Jazz game, it may have made some fans excited.
Digo would like to say that The ball that Westbrook dunked gobert was indeed shocking four, and it is very likely to lock in the best dunk of the season.
But when you look at Westbrook's stats and watch the whole game, you'll see that his offensive efficiency and defensive position are still very bad.
It's unrealistic not to think that you can change it completely because of the highlight performance of one round.
Westbrook played 26 minutes and 36 seconds against the Pacers, shooting 5-of-17 from the field and 4-of-6 from three-point range, with 14 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists.
In addition to the slightly normal three-point shooting rate, Wei Shao did not have a relatively normal rhythm throughout the game.
The offensive end hesitates, the technical means are rough and the scoring is difficult, the organizational tandem is forced to be blocked, and the defensive end is sometimes distracted.
Counting this game, Wei Shao has played in 9 games for the Lakers since 2022, shooting 32% from the field and 25% from three-point range during this period, and the team's record is 5 wins and 4 losses.
It is worth mentioning that Westbrook was replaced in the final 3 minutes and 52 seconds of the fourth quarter and did not play to help the team play the key moment.
So much so that he did not accept a media interview after the game and left the stadium directly. Very obviously, Wei Shao began to get a little emotional.
Head coach Vogel was asked in an interview why he replaced Westbrook in the last 3 minutes and 52 seconds.
He said: "Let the players who I think can win the game play. To put it bluntly, he went directly to Wei Shao for a showdown.
Let's not talk about winning or not winning, and now the Lakers' locker room atmosphere is definitely down to freezing.
