Dong Shi Gong, Vogel copied it like 2K, and the whole Lakers were chaotic into a pot of porridge

In the 2007-2008 season, Dow Griffith coached the Celtics Big Three, defeated the Lakers in the Finals, won the 17th championship in team history, and for a time, in addition to the praise of the Big Three, there was also admiration for Rivers, able to bring the big three that had just come together into a championship.

Rivers was then reversed several times in a 3-1 lead, so the limelight turned, and the Celtics big three were really good, and they could win the championship with Rivers.

The same problem arises with Vogel. In the 2019-2020 season, the Lakers, who formed the James + Davis combination for the first time, passed the playoffs and finally won the 17th championship in team history, and Vogel's coaching also received a lot of praise.

But soon, the Lakers went downhill, barely made it into the playoffs last season, and the Lakers who welcomed Westbrook and Anthony joined this season did not advance and retreat, the performance was very bad, in stark contrast to the big hits before the start of the season, and Vogel's rotation and employment were also questioned a lot, he even let James play center for a long time, and he was not willing to use Jordan Jr., Howard and other centers.

Vogel's idea is very simple, play a small lineup of teams, with a small lineup, play a team with a center, but also use a center, the most typical is the 19-20 playoffs, the second round of the Rockets, McGee and Howard put the bench through, the Western Conference Finals to play the Nuggets, McGee and Howard took turns defending Jokic. Such an adjustment, I believe that many fans who play the 2K Dynasty model will often use it.

To sum up, Vogel coaching the Lakers is like playing 2K, only considering theory, not considering practice, only considering parts, not considering all.

About James playing center

Vogel may think that Drummond Green, PJ Tucker, Morris Brothers, Batum, etc. can play center forward, why can't James? James is taller than them, heavier than them, and more comprehensive than them!

So, in the case of Davis's injury, Vogel simply let James play center, and it was continuous, long-term, not a joke at all. But has Vogel ever considered how those who play center are different from James?

1, others can afford to consume, James can not afford to consume

These people who are on the top center can be consumed at full strength on the defensive end, because they are not the absolute main force, and James is the absolute main force, so putting James in the center is equivalent to completely emptying the interior defense.

2, other people do not stick to the ball, James sticks to the ball

Even Drummond Green, who only dribbles from the backcourt to the front, doesn't dribble for long periods of time, which is Kerr's command to either pass or attack. James, on the other hand, had to have the ball in his hand and even dribble constantly.

So let James play center, Vogel is really the east to apply the effect, copy the whole copy, the effect is naturally not good.

About Westbrook sitting on the bench

There are a lot of famous sixths in the 21st century — Manuginobili, James Harden, Jason Terry, Lamar Odom, Andre Iguodala — all of whom are fully starter-level, even All-Star level, but they're put on the bench.

Vogel may think that they can all play as a substitute, what is wrong with me not letting Westbrook go to the last moment? Why do they go to the bench?

Because the team needs it! It's not that they're incompatible with the other starters, it's that the starters are too strong, and in order to balance the bench lineup, let them sacrifice a little to drive the second lineup. And why Vogel let Wei Shao not play, just because it is incompatible! Even the sixth person mentioned above is on the field at the crucial moment, and Wei Shao is hidden by the snow.

Simply put, Vogel simply gave up one because he wouldn't use James + Westbrook.

If the players themselves can get in place, what else do they need to coach? For example, the Celtics in the 2007-2008 season can win the championship without Rivers, such as the Warriors in the 2015-2016 season, and they can start with a 24-game winning streak with a Walton. If a coach is forced to have 2 All-Star players used separately, that in itself is a failure.

The Lakers in the 12-13 season lost to the coach, can the Lakers survive today?
