On January 25, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season is in full swing. As of today, the NBA regular season has been running for more than 3 months. As the title favorite at the beginning of the game, the Lakers' results are obviously not satisfactory, so far they have only 23 wins and 24 losses, ranking 8th in the West.
The team's record is not good, and head coach Vogel naturally became the target of public criticism. Earlier today, Kevin O'Connor reported that Vogel may not spend much time with the Lakers, and there are indications that Vogel will be fired by the Lakers. In addition, Kevin O'Connor also said that the team's assistant coach Fitzdale may become the interim manager, but he is not optimistic that Fitzdale can solve the team's lineup problems.
It is worth mentioning that after the Lakers lost to the Heat yesterday, The always elegant Vogel rarely exploded at the press conference, when the reporter asked whether the Lakers' situation would be different if the Lakers' lineup was complete or Davis could play.
Vogel said angrily: "Sometimes the media is really XX, what I can say is that our lineup is incomplete, don't ask me this stupid XX question, don't ask me questions like 'if the lineup is complete or if Davis can play'. I've worked very hard to coach the team and our players have played very hard. Don't be so disrespectful to me. I'm really trying to work for this team, really XX hard, don't target me again!
It should be noted that the media has previously revealed that after the Lakers lost to the Nuggets by 37 points, the Lakers management was already considering firing Vogel. But with the Lakers beating the Fourth-Place Jazz in the West, Vogel's coaching crisis was temporarily eased. But it is clear that the Lakers' problems are difficult to solve in the short term, which is one of the reasons why Vogel is in crisis again.
According to the schedule, the Lakers will challenge the Nets tomorrow, which will be their third game in six consecutive Eastern Conference road trips.
