On March 20, Beijing time, the Lakers played against the Wizards, and the Lakers lost to the Wizards 119-127 at the end of the game. In this game, James has the opportunity to surpass Malone to the second place in the historical scoring list, and in the game, James also did such a thing, more importantly, the Lakers occupied the lead on the court at that time, but when the fans thought that James would create a milestone and win the game, the Lakers began to collapse in the fourth quarter of the game, Porzingis, who performed very crotch in the previous game, began to threaten, plus Avdia and other tough players, the Lakers finally suffered a reversal and lost the game.
It can be said that the Lakers' loss is a big surprise, to know that the Wizards' recent state is very bad, and this game wizards are also missing Kuzma, while the Lakers back-to-back combat is not false but the Wizards are also back-to-back combat, but the difference is that the Lakers just defeated the Raptors, so from the perspective of time and place, the Lakers have the advantage, more importantly, the Lakers played smoothly in this game, but unfortunately the Lakers performed too much in the fourth quarter of the game, and the reverse really can't blame others. In this game, Vogel's coaching was questioned again, obviously he had seen the Lakers encounter difficulties in the fourth quarter of the game, Vogel did not make changes to deal with the outbreak of Porzingis, so the Lakers lost the game Vogel is hard to blame.
After the game, Vogel was interviewed by reporters and talked about the reasons why the team was on the small squad tonight. Vogel said the Wizards' roster is basically 5 outside, so tonight he decided to use a small lineup. Vogel also said the team tried to limit the Wizards with a change of defense tonight, but Porzingis kept hitting jumpers in the fourth quarter of the game, punishing them. And Vogel's explanation is really difficult to convince the public, after all, the Lakers at that time have encountered difficulties, and James can obviously see here is a little tired, this time it is really difficult to expect James and others to defend the Wizards, but in such a situation Vogel is still difficult to change, and after the game Vogel's answer is also difficult to convince the public, after all, the Lakers' dilemma at that time was obvious, maybe Howard may not win, but Vogel did not even change.
As for James's loss at the milestone, he will obviously not be happy, especially in the case of a reversal, James is afraid that he will not be happy, to know that the current situation of the Lakers is very bad, if you are not careful, the Lakers may not be able to save the ninth position in the West, and now they have lost the game that should have won, which makes the Lakers more difficult. In an interview after the game, James said in an interview whether he would distinguish the loss of this game from his own milestones: At the end of the day, all I care about is the win or loss of the game. We didn't grasp the advantages of the establishment, and we haven't been consistent throughout the year. It can be said that such a James is a direct showdown, although the record is very important for James, but James wants to win, after all, the Lakers have suffered too many setbacks this season, so only winning will make the Lakers reverse the decline.
However, although the Lakers lost the game, but Wei Shao here still has good news, the good news is that Wei Shao played more like his previous self in the game, in this game Wei Shao continued the good state of the last game, and Wei Shao played in the game is undoubtedly very comfortable, although Wei Shao in the game there were some low-level mistakes, but it is very important to see Wei Shao in the game to find himself again, after all, in the next game, the Lakers also need Wei Shao to play to lead the team to win, So it's very uncomfortable for the Lakers to lose the game, but it is also a surprise to be able to see Westbrook recover.
