On March 20, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season is in full swing. In a focus battle that just ended, the Lakers lost to the Wizards 119:127 on the road, missing two consecutive wins. James had 38 points, 10 rebounds and six assists, and Westbrook had 22 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists.
Objectively speaking, the Lakers have played very well today, and they once had a 16-point lead in the game. However, they did not hold the advantage and were beaten 34-20 by the Wizards in the final quarter, and eventually suffered a reversal. After the Lakers lost, coach Vogel was rushed to Twitter by fans, and many fans could not hide their disappointment with Wo Shuai, and even used a lot of insulting and insulting words.
In fact, in today's final quarter of the game, Vogel's employment is indeed debatable. Wizards star Porzingis scored 16 points on 6-of-7 shooting in the final quarter, almost destroying the Lakers on his own. During this period, the Lakers' five-small lineup was completely unable to limit Porzingis.
In this regard, the media person wrote: "Vogel's strange substitution has been a problem throughout the season! ”
Journalist Josiah Johnson even posted a picture to ridicule Vogel and the Lakers.
In response, many Lakers fans can hardly hide their anger, and they vent their dissatisfaction with Vogel on Twitter. Many fans even wrote directly: "The Lakers are going to fire Vogel!" There are also fans who express the same view, that Vogel's employment is the main reason for the Lakers' loss today.
According to the schedule, the Lakers will challenge the Cavaliers on the road on March 22. After losing today, the Lakers' record has become 30-41, continuing to rank 9th in the West.
