The Lakers have lost a bit more recently, and the interior is a bit messy!
In the Lakers against the Pacers, in the final 4 minutes of the game, Vogel chose to press Westbrook on the bench. The key moment was less than a victory for the Lakers, and the Lakers eventually lost to the Pacers 104-111.
Obviously, Wei Shao was very dissatisfied with being hidden in the snow at a critical moment. Westbrook did not give an interview after the game, but he responded in his own way. Before the game was over, Westbrook left the court about 10 seconds early. Know that this is a very inappropriate behavior, even if you don't greet your opponent, there are still teammates who need you to face defeat with them.
What is even more excessive is that he not only left the game early, but also left the dressing room early. Westbrook had reportedly left the locker room after his teammates had finished bathing, without any post-match discussions with his teammates.
James, as the absolute leader of the team, has also had a mixed reputation this season and has been questioned. I have to say that the fans are too demanding of this 37-year-old man! He averaged 28.8 points per game, ranking second on the NBA players' scoring list. It can be said that although the Lakers' record is not ideal, James himself is trying his best! On the cusp of this storm, James is not good at standing up and saying anything, after all, he is also in the middle of the storm.
At this time, the role of melon Antony is reflected! It should be said that Melon Anthony is the most prestigious person in this Lakers team, except for James. At this time, Anthony showed his true leadership: publicly standing up for Wei Shao and Vogel.
Speaking about the key moments in the coaching staff, Anthony made it clear that Westbrook is much more important than basketball: "It's a new environment. We have to help him through it. The only thing we can do is make sure his psychology is normal. That's my only concern. When it comes to Russ, I don't care about anything basketball. Perhaps, Anthony's explicit statement, was Westbrook's only consolation on this bad night. After all, there is such a brother, who regards him more than victory or defeat!
For some recent news about the danger of Vogel's position, Anthony is clearly supporting Vogel: "I think the easiest thing to do is blame the coach. But it's us who play, it's us out of the game. We are the ones who have to play and do everything. ”
Now the Lakers can be said to be in turmoil inside, but Gua Ge is trying to maintain the unity of the Lakers. For such a veteran, it really deserves everyone's respect!
