On February 10, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, the Lakers against the Blazers, and finally after a fierce battle in the whole game, the Lakers, who were leading in the first half, finally lost a good game, and in the second half, they were successfully reversed by the Blazers led by Simmons, swallowing two consecutive defeats, and after this game, the topic of Westbrook was thrown out.
In yesterday's loss to the Bucks, Lakers coach Vogel once replaced Wei Shao at a critical moment in the fourth quarter of the game, such an arrangement caused Wei Shao's dissatisfaction, and in a post-game interview, he said that he was eligible to represent the team at the key moment of the team, and Vogel was not willing to show weakness, saying that Wei Shao had a lot of honors, but that did not represent his current state. And in today's game, it is more direct to DNP Wei Shao, did not let Wei Shao play, it seems that the relationship between the two has been difficult to ease.
After losing again today, Vogel did not hide the slightest hint of whether the team would send Westbrook before the trade deadline, saying directly: "If there is a way to make the team better, we will do it, and other than that, I have nothing to say about the trade deadline." Although it was not directly pointed out, the meaning was also very obvious, that is, if there was any opportunity, Wei Shao would be sent away.
