On March 8, Beijing time, the Lakers played against the Spurs, and the Lakers lost to the Spurs 110-117 at the end of the game. This game Lakers want to win there are still some difficulties, after all, this game Lakers are missing James, and although the Spurs have not performed well recently, but in the lakers' current state they are not sure to win the game, this is not in the first half of the game The Lakers once fell into a passive behind, but in the second half of the game the Lakers still found the state, to the fourth quarter when the Lakers once played with the Spurs difficult to score, unfortunately, the spurs played a wave of offensive climax to open the score, not to mention, In the end, the Lakers chased points and lost the game without success.
Although Wei Shao's state has picked up in this game, his mistakes in the game and his offensive state have still hurt the team, but it is still good news to see Wei Shao's state pick up, and after this game, Wei Shao is also blunt, to which Wei Shao said: I feel that every time we start to find some momentum, some bad things will happen. We just had a nice game and then something happened. Obviously, Wei Shao's answer is not unreasonable, just like the Lakers originally played with the Spurs in the fourth quarter, but the Lakers suddenly made a mistake and the attack was pulled apart by the Spurs, and this was too much damage to the Lakers.
So the Lakers also really need to reduce such a senseless mistake in the game, and then Vogel's lineup arrangement in this game has been questioned again, after all, the Lakers' internal line in the fourth quarter of the game has obviously suffered a loss, but Vogel still insists on his small lineup, but in the previous game, the Lakers breakthrough is still a great threat, but in the fourth quarter of the game at the critical moment when the Lakers lose such a deterrent, and Vogel's use of a large lineup at this time may have some miracle effects. Speaking about the loss after the game, Vogel said: "Whether we play in the big lineup or the small lineup, we need to defend better, the defense of the big lineup is terrible, the small lineup performance has improved but overall it is not good enough.
It can be said that although Vogel did not directly mention Howard's name, but the current Lakers big lineup only has a big center howard, so at this time Vogel undoubtedly criticized Howard, but Howard really should not be back, after all, Howard's playing time in this game is limited, and Howard still made his own contribution, as for the small lineup is stronger than the big lineup, it really did not appear, at least if Howard is present, the Lakers' rebounding will not be so difficult. At the same time, After this game, Vogel also talked about James's injury, Vogel said: James's knee pain will not be as severe as at the end of January (when he missed 5 games), and hopes he can be ready to play against the Rockets on Thursday (Beijing time).
Can see that James's injury is not as serious as the last time, which is also a blessing in the misfortune of the Lakers, after all, the current Lakers are really inseparable from James, although James this season has indeed received a lot of criticism, but if the Lakers lack James, then they want to win will undoubtedly become more difficult, so in the next game If James can play, then the Lakers still have a lot of chances to win, and the Next game Lakers will play against the Rockets, Wizards, This is also a game that the Lakers need to seize, otherwise the next opponent will make it more difficult for the Lakers to want to win.
