The Lakers lost miserably, Lakers boss Jenny Bass left the game early, she saw the Lakers lose 30 points on her face can not pass. LeBron James also left the field 1.9 seconds before the final, and he was disappointed with the ending. Vogel shouted "Wake up" before being blown off for a technical foul, and it was clear he didn't wake up the whole team, the Lakers swallowed a 95-123 fiasco, and the Lakers had more and more difficulty getting into the playoffs.
Three days ago, Lakers coach Vogel talked about the Lakers' goal of the Top Six in the West, he said: I know our ranking, currently behind the sixth 6 wins, behind the seventh 3.5 wins, behind the eighth 1.5 wins, but our goal is to enter the top six, although the hope is small, but if we perform strongly there is still a chance.
James, who spoke after the loss to the Pelicans, said: "It's not easy for us at this time, we should focus on how to get better, not looking ahead to the playoffs."
Talking about whether the knee injury affected his performance, James said: I don't think the knee affected me. (James's remarks clearly hit Vogel's target in the top six of the West, and even James knows that the Lakers' current team is too weak, and it is a fool's dream to hit the top six of the West)
After this loss, the Lakers' record is 27 wins and 33 losses, the Pelicans are 25 wins and 36 losses, the Pelicans are only 2.5 wins away from the ninth position in the Lakers' west, and the lakers' win difference with the Clippers is stretched to 3.5, ask the Lakers how to impact the top six in the West! James was right at all.
The Pelicans got McCollum stronger through trades, the Clippers got Powell and Covington stronger through trades, the Lone Rangers got Dinwiddie and Bertans got stronger through trades, and Philadelphia got Harden through trades and became a favorite to win the championship. And the Lakers operate at 0 before the trade deadline, James and Davis are very justified in their dissatisfaction with the 0 operation, and now they know how the 0 operation erodes the team, and the teams have become stronger, just as the so-called trade-off, the Lakers are weaker.
Wei Shao's performance is not worth looking forward to, Vogel also did not use him for a long time in the last quarter, preferring to let Tucker play the first position rather than let Wei Shao play more, indicating that he knows that Wei Shao and James are incompatible, the two have 14 mistakes in a game, the whole team has 23 mistakes, Vogel is also helpless, the foundation is thin, the lineup is old.
