Wash away the grievances and cut 30+7+7! Vogel tried his best, and the result was "shown" by the bottom team.
Beijing time on February 10, the Lakers against the Blazers, back-to-back loss to the Bucks, the Lakers urgently need a game to win, and today Wei Shao also missed the game because of the back injury, many fans are optimistic that the Lakers can win today's game, the result of the Lakers finally lost the game 107-105, this result is still somewhat unsatisfactory. As the team's back cooker, Westbrook has been coached by DNP in the past, and as a result, in the absence of Westbrook, the combination of James and Davis has failed to beat a team that is in a mess. After the game, there were more and more voices about Vogel's dismissal, and the team's lineup was not bad, but the team could not play the results.
The Lakers' offensive efficiency in the first quarter of today was not good, James personally got the opening 8 points, but Nurkic alone broke the Lakers' interior line, although There was Davis under the basket, the result was still not good. The first quarter ended with an 18-18 draw, a result that was surprising, and without CJ McLemore, the Lakers and the Blazers were on the same starting line. Entering the second quarter of the game, the Lakers improved slightly, and James and Davis continued to lead the team to attack to gain a seven-point advantage.
The game entered the third quarter, the Lakers lost their center of gravity defensively, and the newly established advantage was equalized by the opponent, and in the face of a rotten team, the Lakers' mentality still did not make any adjustments. In the final quarter of the game, the Lakers reacted, already behind the opponent, Simmons Jr. scored 8 consecutive points at key moments, directly killing the game, in the final 5 points behind, James shot a whistle-pressing three-pointer, and finally the Lakers lost to the Blazers 105-107.
After the game, as a former management magician, he expressed his thoughts. Johnson said: "Tonight the Lakers lost to the Blazers, I was speechless. "Many fans and Johnson's attitude is the same, after all, the Blazers have just made two trades, in the case of Lillard not playing, the team only has one Nurkic, even many players can not be named, after losing the game, there is no expectation for the Lakers, there is no change in the free market, the team's lineup can not be changed this year.
The root cause of the loss of this game, head coach Vogel must bear the biggest doubts. As the league's top defensive coach, the Lakers' defensive efficiency this year has fallen to the bottom of the league, and Vogel changed the team's starting lineup again today, still without any effect. Before the game began, the Lakers successfully activated Howard, and Howard played an important role in the last game in which Westbrook and Davis led the team to beat the Blazers. Vogel said: "The habits of the team are not up to the best standards, today I hope Davis dominates the inside line, we can do better. ”
In today's data, the Lakers' three-point shooting rate reached 45.9%, which is the most efficient performance in recent times, but the team's free throw shooting rate is only 46.2%, and the Lakers, who are good at fast attack, have only 4 points through fast attack today, and the Blazers have 28 points. In the penalty area score, the Blazers scored 58 points in the penalty area, which can be called a blast of the Lakers' inside line, but the Lakers' penalty area scored only 40 points. Davis only had 17 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists in the whole game, as the opponent Nurkic had 19 points, 12 rebounds and 3 assists, Davis was not suitable for the No. 5 position, the team's traditional center was abandoned, Vogel should consider the pressure on the team's interior.
