Today's NBA regular season ended a focus battle, the Lakers lost a game in a 4-game game, they lost to the Timberwolves 104-124, ate a 20-point fiasco, 4 times this season, the Lakers lost 3 of them, the Lakers 11 consecutive away games. In this game, the Lakers performed badly, still pulling their crotches in the first half, leading by the Timberwolves by 21 points, and although there was a counterattack in the second half, the point difference was reduced to single digits, but there were still problems at both ends of the attack and defense in the last quarter, and they could not restrain the opponent's attack while shooting continuously. In this way, the Lakers have suffered a 3-game losing streak, and their recent performance has been extremely bad.
In an interview after the game, Lakers coach Vogel bluntly said that the team has improved: "Our effort tonight is better than the first two games. (Previously lost to the Suns and Raptors)
Vogel said "no comment" on trash remarks from tonight's game with the Timberwolves.
Lakers star James Worthy said bluntly when commenting on the team: "After the game they will hold a press conference to show their determination, and then come back to the court to play the same game, which has been the case since last December, I don't see any change." ”
James was not happy after the game, he and his teammates, opponents when greeting the mouth, after the last game lost to the Raptors James directly left the game without an interview, this game James's Lakers continue to lose consecutively.
James scored 19 points, 5 boards, 4 assists and 2 blocks, scored 20+ for 3 consecutive months, tied with Ellington, and had a plus-minus of -19 consecutive games. The Lakers have trailed by more than 25+ points in their last three games against the Suns, Raptors and Timberwolves, which is also the first time in James' career that his team has collapsed significantly and there is no hope. Of course, for now, the Lakers are still very likely to participate in the playoffs, after all, the Blazers and other teams behind them are not in a good situation, but if they want to break through in the playoffs, it is extremely difficult for the Lakers who are now in the doldrums.
The Lakers currently have many problems, not only the adjustment of coach Vogel, the injury of the thick eyebrow brother, the team has no resilience, unlike a whole, playing without any spirit, which is the biggest blow for the Lakers. I also hope that the next Lakers can make good adjustments and strive to rebound as soon as possible and get qualified for the playoffs.
