On March 8, Beijing time, the Lakers lost 110-117 to the Spurs in the NBA regular season, giving Popovich the 1335th regular season victory of his career, equaling Don Nelson, who was the first in history, and becoming the coach with the most wins in history. James did not fight this battle, although the Lakers played very tenaciously, but helpless strength is not good, coupled with the final stage of Westbrook Munch continuous failure, and finally the Lakers lost the game.
The lack of James and thick eyebrows makes Wei Shao feel as if he has returned to the Thunder of yesteryear. After the opening, Wei Shao continued to shock his heart. But as he grew older, Wei Shao was no longer the monster who could fly in the sky. At the end of the first quarter, Wei Shao re-emerged, and the result was a wave of 9-0 by the opponent, which was very embarrassing. In the following games, Wei Shao's shooting rate was still very low, and he was frequently covered or made mistakes when breaking into the inside line.
In the whole game, Westbrook scored 17 points, 10 boards and 6 assists on 5 of 14, but also made 5 turnovers. The reason why the Lakers can glue with the opponent to the final stage is because the Spurs have too many mistakes and the shooting rate is too low. But even so, the Lakers still failed to seize the opportunity, but instead completed the old coach Popovich. In the final moments, the Lakers players were like walking dead on the court, and Wei Shao was like a wooden chicken.
After the game, the broadcaster also played Popovich's career regular season wins - 1335 games, equaling the historical record of another legendary coach, Nelson Sr. Soon, Popovich will have this record exclusively. Later people want to catch up with Popovich's record, the difficulty can be imagined, it can be said that it is difficult to come.
Lakers coach Vogel also came forward to congratulate Popovich at the first time, 10-8 defeats will definitely make Vogel feel embarrassed, but for the predecessors to achieve such a brilliant record, Vogel still forced a smile and congratulated the old coach. But for Vogel, what he really has to worry about now is his position as a coach, and he may not be far from the end of class.
