Vogel played tricks to let Ariza play the starter, only to be blown up by the Bucks, which was self-defeating!
The Lakers lost to the Bucks 116-131, this game, the Lakers "Big Three" to Qi, but Howard is absent, Jordan Jr. did not play, if Howard can not play because of a back injury, why did Jordan Jr. abandon it, today is facing the alphabet brother, the interior defense is the key, but Vogel does not use the center, but chooses to play "small lineup", continue to change the lineup, send a set of James, thick eyebrow brother, Westbrook, Ariza and Munch lineup, which is also the first time this season to appear in the starting lineup, It was also Vogel's 27th lineup of the season, and the result was blown up by the Bucks.
First of all, this lineup of protective frames is not OK, there is no center, alphabet brother is unscrupulous in attacking the basket, just say the first quarter of the alphabet brother, a person in the basket completed 3 dunks, alphabet brother single quarter to the Lakers 7 attacks, 6 from the inside line, in addition, Portis is also hard to eat under the basket, even Middleton is also in the interior of the single, especially the Bucks' "twin towers" hit the Lakers can not be overwhelmed, the Lakers inner line defense every time James to carry, to make up for the defense, which is too much physical consumption for James, in fact, James' defense under the basket is not a threat to the alphabet brother at all, the first quarter of the alphabet brother covered the Lakers "big three", even the thick eyebrow brother also ate the hat, the Lakers' inner line was exploded by the Bucks, which is the main reason for the loss.
Secondly, the defensive outside line is also not successful, the first quarter bucks hit 3 three-pointers, Middleton shot 2 three-pointers, alphabet brother also hit a three-pointer, the second quarter Bucks hit a total of 5 three-pointers, there are 4 players have three points into the account, can be described as more than a blossom, the third quarter bucks hit 5 three-pointers again, Portis alone hit 3 three-pointers, the lakers in the last quarter is the most successful, only let the Bucks hit a three-pointer, it can be seen that the Lakers in the first three quarters of the Bucks' outside defense is useless, full of loopholes.
So why was the defense so successful in the fourth quarter, because in the fourth quarter Vogel gave up using the starting lineup of James, Ariza, Thick Brow, Westbrook and Munch, and changed a set of lineups of James, Johnson, Reeves, Thick Brow and Munch, no Westbrook, the result was less than 4 and a half minutes to blast a wave of 17-7 attacks, and finally the Lakers even let only one core of Thick Brow brother lead four substitutes, and even played a climax, to be honest, the "Big Three" together has no chemical reaction, no fart, It is better to lead the team separately, it is more effective, this game fully illustrates this point, because the "big three" together is not easy to distribute the ball, you let me, I let you, but also played very hesitant.
No more than not knowing, a fright, the Lakers and the Bucks do have a big gap, not only can not prevent the alphabet brother, but also can not prevent the Bucks' fast attack counterattack, through this game, a phenomenon is more obvious, that is, the Lakers' defense speed is too slow, all the Lakers players retreat, just like the light of the morning road, no one quickly returned to the defense, there is such a scene, Holliday grabbed the rebound in the backcourt, while dribbling, while looking for teammates, suddenly came a long pass to Portis, Holliday dribbled the ball twice, Portis did not even have a ghost in front of his eyes, which showed how slow the Lakers retreated, and in this game, the Bucks played a lot of fast attack counterattacks, and even many chased three points.
The above shows that the Lakers have poor defensive awareness, the defensive position does not fight self-disorder, the retreat speed is too slow, coupled with the internal line being broken, the half let the Bucks score 78 points, the three quarters of the Bucks easily got 109 points, the Lakers this kind of defense does not lose the strange, the Lakers today's first three quarters of this set of starters can not be, the Lakers lose, Vogel has a great responsibility, improper command, poor platoon deployment level, Vogel really should ask himself more, why the Lakers play worse and worse, what is the reason?
