On March 20, Beijing time, the Los Angeles Lakers lost 119-127 to the Wizards, and were tragically reversed by their opponents. In this game, the Lakers fell into full passivity in the fourth quarter, and Porzingis single-handedly slashed 16 points in a single quarter, but Vogel could not come up with the corresponding tactics.
After the game, many fans criticized Vogel's employment ideas. In this game, Vogel hid Howard in the snow, most of the time choosing the "Death Five Small" lineup. This gave 2m 21 Porzingis a chance to misalign the single.
For the outside world's doubts and accusations, Vogel is not willing to admit his mistakes. In a post-game interview, he said: "The Wizards have been on a 5-plus lineup most of the time, and we have no problem using a small lineup. ”
In addition to this, Vogel also criticized the Lakers' bench play. He said: "We didn't play very well today when LeBron came off and after missing yesterday's game, Anthony and Tucker looked a bit out of shape in today's game. ”
In this game, the Lakers bench only scored 21 points, and the Wizards bench scored 54 points. The bench bench alone scored a score that led the Wizards by 33 points. But can't this be blamed on Anthony?
In this game, Anthony played 23 minutes and had 13 points and 4 assists on 5-of-10 shooting. This is the only player on the Lakers bench who plays normally. Tucker had 0 points, 3 boards and 3 assists on 0-of-5 shooting, Bradley had 2 points and 2 rebounds, Augustine had 2 points and Gabriel had 4 points and 4 rebounds.
Vogel's post-match remarks made Anthony's fans very dissatisfied. This season, Anthony joined the Lakers with a basic salary, which can be called a needle in the team's bench. He averaged 13.7 points per game, shooting 2.3 three-pointers per game and shooting 39 percent from the field! On the night of the team's defeat, Vogel threw the pot to Anthony, which was a bit too bullying!
