Green broke out the infighting in the Lakers: Vogel became a scapegoat, and the players did not listen to the command and did not defend

Because of the Lakers' recent sluggish performance, Los Angeles Lakers head coach Frank Vogel has received some harsh criticism. In fact, the Lakers played poorly for most of the season. And it's clear that manager Vogel's efforts to adjust the squad have failed.

Danny Green, a key member of the Lakers' 2019-20 championship, has now stepped up to speak for Vogel, saying Vogel should not be a scapegoat for the Lakers. On the podcast, Green explained why he thinks the Lakers' troubles shouldn't all be blamed on Vogel.

"Coach Vogel, I like him, he's great, that's one of the reasons I don't want to be a coach," Green said in a recent episode of the Inside of the Green House podcast. "I don't want to say he didn't do a good job, but it's a situation that's hard to figure out, especially if the players are injured. He doesn't have his best player in the squad yet, he's been blamed for a lot of things and I don't think it's his fault at all. ”

"It doesn't make any sense. It just makes more bad, I mean, they do what they're supposed to do, that's their business. They made up their minds, they knew where they wanted to go, but I think Coach Vogel is a great coach and I think he should stay with the Lakers. ”

Green's point is good, and while Vogel is the Lakers' tactical setter, it's undeniable that the Lakers show no signs of improvement right now. In the game against the Pacers, Vogel abandoned Westbrook. It was clear that Green thought Vogel had made the necessary changes.

Green also pointed out that many external factors have also affected the Performance of the Lakers throughout the season. The injury of their star players – especially Anthony Davis – has undoubtedly had a major impact on the team.

Green went on to talk about the Lakers, saying: "A lot of people are doing the same thing out there, and it's hard for them to play to their strengths. You can't get people to shoot, you can't let your teammates run the ball, you can't force people to defend. It's the three big things it takes to win a basketball game, and it's been a tough season for Vogel. ”

Vogel could reportedly be fired at any time, and many Lakers players simply don't listen to him.
