On March 10, Beijing time, probably no one expected that the Lakers would lose to the rocket ranked last in the west. This game is very heart-wrenching to watch, the Lakers are also the team on the edge of the playoffs, and there are two giants James and Westbrook, I did not expect to be dragged into overtime by the Rockets, and finally suffered a hoist from the opponent. With Jaylen Green's outstanding performance in overtime, the Rockets defeated the Purple and Gold Army by nine points, and in the end, the Lakers lost 130-139 to Hugh City, suffering two consecutive losses.
After the Lakers experienced two consecutive losses, they were drifting away from the playoffs, and James' comeback did not help. It turns out that the fans' pre-season predictions were too correct, and the Lakers' "nursing home" either lost to injuries or to age. Before the thick eyebrow brother was injured, the Lakers' record was also very general, after the lack of this inside defensive big coffee, coupled with the departure of Jordan Jr., Vogel was stretched in the use of personnel on the inside line, and in this game, Vogel "made a clever move" and even sent the unknown Gary Buel.
The new signing grabbed two key rebounds in a row and briefly created a surprise, but unfortunately the good times did not last long, and his appearance did not change the deadlock of the game. Another inside player Anthony is too slow, tragically played by Shin Kyung, the defense has been out of position, after the game, Jaylen Green revealed the truth, he said that the Rockets' pre-game plan is to play Anthony this point, the result also met expectations, Anthony was completely exploded on the defensive end, his plus-minus -14 is the second lowest in the game, second only to James (-17), 03 Platinum generation double stars have become a burden on the team's defensive end.
Vogel's use of this game is quite questionable, he prefers to use Gary Buel but abandons Howard, which makes people look at the flowers in the fog, which can be said to be a humiliation of Howard. Gary Buel has always been the kind of player who only deserves to wave a towel, but this game is in danger, and Howard is a player who has proven himself and has made many great achievements this season, but once again ignored by the manager. After the game, Vogel also talked about the reasons for abandoning Howard, saying: "I don't think Howard can help the team win, I want to find the best squad. ”
Although it is only a short 24 words, it is quite speechless and ridiculous. Lakers interior players whether it is James or Anthony, in the defense of ShenJing have suffered a big loss, by the opponent to blow up, Howard even if not the peak of the Magic Beast, but after all, is a tough defensive traditional center, how the effect will be better than James and Anthony, Vogel found a season of lineup, and now the Lakers' playoff prospects have been precarious, and still want to find the best lineup at such a moment, it is simply a dream.
To tell the truth, Vogel has an opinion on Howard, since the conflict with the thick eyebrow brother, Howard has been hidden in the snow many times, the last game, Howard performed well in the first half, the second half directly sat on the bench, this one is not used directly. Vogel can do without a center forward, but at the crucial moment he is on Gary Buel, which makes people think. Hopefully, Vogel will not be blinded by personal grudges, the result of self-indulgence will eventually lead to his own dismissal, Howard's fuel tank still has oil, let him play a little longer may be unexpected effects.
