On March 15, Beijing time, the Lakers faced the Toronto Raptors back-to-back at home, and thought that after the Lakers defeated the Suns in the last game, they would be painful and would have a good play in this game, but what they did not expect was that the Lakers finally lost this game 103-114.
Although this game has improved in defense, but there is no bright spot to speak of, just in the first quarter, the Lakers once fell behind by 20 points, three-pointers 13 shots 0, if not 6 of 6 free throws, the Lakers in the first quarter of the game score can not be double-double.
After the loss, James refused to be interviewed by the media, and the remaining few people also made enough excuses for the loss in the interview, especially head coach Vogel.
The first is Tucker, tucker in today's interview, when talking about whether the shooting feel is not contagious, Tucker said that poor shooting feel is contagious, especially at the beginning of the game, when we are struggling with shooting performance, it is difficult for us to win the game.
The second is Wei Shao, Wei Shao only took 90 seconds in today's post-game interview, and Wei Shao's answer to questions such as why the Lakers started slowly and hotly was: "I don't know, I don't have the answer!" ”
Previously, many people attributed the problem of the Lakers' loss to Wei Shao, but from yesterday's game against the Suns and today's game against the Raptors, it can be seen that the Lakers' problem really does not have to be less than one person, after all, the game is five people, not one person.
Finally, the Lakers' head coach Vogel, after the game, Vogel also accepted an interview with the media, Vogel said that today should be Howard's opportunity to perform well, but Howard is absent because of an emergency at home.
Tucker blamed the bad feel in his hand, and Vogel said that because Howard wasn't there? Haven't been able to find out the problem from themselves, this kind of shirking responsibility really shouldn't be, you know, in the last game against the Suns, when the Suns had big centers like Ayton and McGee, Vogel still didn't let Howard start, and only let Howard play when he finally lost to the point where there was really no way, even so, Howard only got 16 minutes of playing time,
As for the problem that Tucker Jr. said that the feel will be contagious, it is completely nonsense, to know that this season, Tucker's three-point shooting rate is only a pitiful 26.5%, which is one point lower than Wei Shao's three-point shooting rate, and such a three-point shooting rate still needs to be infected by others? Even if it was infection, it was Tucker who infected Anthony and Munch's three-point shooting percentages.
As an NBA star, Paul Pierce updated social media after the game, fully explaining the reason for the Lakers' loss in one sentence, Pierce said: "The Lakers are depressed, James has to take 50 points before they have a chance." ”
In the lakers' past 10 games, lost 8 games, won the two games against the Warriors, and the Wizards, and the reason why the Lakers can win in these two games is based on James scoring 50 points to win the game, it is clear that Pierce said very clearly, that is, the Lakers are close to winning the next game, the only thing missing is LeBron James, who scored 50+ points.
