The NBA regular season continues, the Lakers host the Pelicans, in the eyes of fans this is a game without suspense, whether it is the strength of the lineup, or the team record, the Lakers have a clear advantage, although Ingram and McClem have performed well recently, but compared with James and Westbrook, it is still far behind. Surprisingly, the first quarter of the game Pelicans on the main back to the main 4 points to rely on, the second quarter is to play a 10-0 offensive small climax to expand the point difference, worse is the third quarter, the Lakers were bombed out 0-13, the point difference directly reached 30 points, the fourth quarter became garbage time, there is no suspense, the two sides passed through the four quarters of the contest, and finally the Lakers 95-123 defeat to the Pelicans burst out of the big cold. Even the Western Fish Belly can lose, no team can not lose, fans have said that the Lakers are getting farther and farther away from the championship.
James played decently, scoring 32 points on 13-of-23 shooting, but he also made seven turnovers and he was really tired. Although James set a new 30+ game to 500, he is third behind Jordan and Chamberlain. But a big defeat made him not happy at all, after the game, Horns' cousin was serious, the reporter asked him why the Lakers performed badly, he said that he could not find the answer, even the reason for the loss could not be found, the lakers' prospects were too worrying. Of course, Toms is not an excuse maker either, he is saddened by his 7 mistakes and is fully responsible for it. It is worth mentioning that Westbrook also got 7 turnovers, the two got 14 mistakes in one game, and the Pelicans only made 15 mistakes on the whole team, and it was too difficult to play such a performance to win. However, Wei Shao seems to have found the reason, he thinks the Lakers lack of fighting. The performance of the two cores is so, what else do the role players have to fight, or first improve the shooting rate of 5 in 15 before criticizing teammates.
Vogel is a coach who is good at defending, but he hasn't played tough this season, and letting the Pelicans, who are not very offensive, score 123 points is a huge failure. Although Nunn has not played a game this season, but this can not be the reason for the Lakers' poor defense, after the Lakers won the championship, Vogel has lost passion, very stubborn in the use of players, the beginning of the season overuse of thick eyebrows and led to his multiple injuries, and the abandonment of Howard is even more incomprehensible, Vogel really should be off class, if nothing else, this season will be his last season with the Lakers. Individuals believe that the current Lakers are scattered and have lost their fighting spirit, which is an important reason for their upset losses. What worries people is that if they continue like this, the Lakers will not say that they will win the championship, that is, they will not even be able to enter the playoffs, and James will leave the Lakers as soon as possible, otherwise the fifth crown of his career will be completely hopeless.
