On March 5, Beijing time, the Lakers once again became the focus, continuously hit by opponents, players are absent-minded on the court, such a situation is really difficult to imagine will appear in the Lakers team. At the beginning of the season, this team formed a number of former All-Star players, but it was not expected that this situation would be like this in the end, which was also quite regrettable.
After yesterday's fiasco against the Clippers, the Lakers have suffered four consecutive losses, still in the ninth place in the West, only 2 wins ahead of the 11th Blazers, and according to this trend, it is estimated that they will soon fall out of the playoff zone. After watching these Lakers games, it also played morale against the Lone Rangers in the third quarter, and other times it was really a bit of a broken can, just go.
After losing to the Clippers, the Lakers also set a series of humiliating records, the first of which was swept by opponents in the same city 4-0 this season, sweeping for 2 consecutive seasons; the coach who led the team to sweep consecutively, Tyren Lu, was directly rejected by the Lakers 3 years ago.
The Lakers have lost 11 of their last 14 games, and now they are 5.5 wins behind eighth-place Clippers;
The Lakers have fallen behind their opponents 20+ times this season, 25+ behind their opponents 14 times, and 30+ behind their opponents 7 times;
The Lakers have had 7 national live broadcasts in the past 8 games, and have only achieved a record of 1 win and 7 losses.
When the Lakers are in trouble again, the outside world has begun to give advice to the Lakers, trading Anthony Davis or James, and thinking that there is still a drama this season, that is, to let Westbrook play as a substitute.
Many league insiders believe that letting Westbrook play as a substitute is one way to solve the Lakers' problems on the court. But is the problem really with Wei Shao? In fact, it is not all, Wei Shao certainly has many problems, but the Lakers have not shown his advantages now. At the beginning of the season, Wei Shao made a series of mistakes, and now he has reduced his possession, his mistakes have been reduced, but his efficiency has also been greatly reduced, and the shortcomings of no projection have been infinitely magnified. That is to say, there is no ball in the hand of The West, there is almost no threat on the field.
In response to the advice of the outside world, coach Vogel also made a statement, "I really don't want to talk about this, we haven't reached that step yet." ”
Let the star with more than $40 million go to the bench? If the Lakers do this, Na Wei Shao can choose to refuse to play, anyway, the team is like this, and it doesn't care about chaos. In fact, Vogel might as well let Wei Shao be himself completely, look at Wei Shao in the second half of last season, and then look at him now, really depressed.
