Beijing time on March 20, the NBA Lakers lost to the Wizards on the road, because it is a three-game game, the Lakers lost is not a big problem, but the problem is that they were 16 points ahead at the highest, but in the fourth quarter they were penetrated by Christaps Porzingis, and finally the Lakers lost by 8 points, which made LeBron James once again suffer the mileage "sadness", which is indeed somewhat helpless, and in this Lakers game reversed by the Wizards, they actually ushered in 1 joy and 1 worry, The happy thing is that Wei Shao announced the return of the king through 2 battles, and the worry is that the Lakers coach may be seriously overrated?
So far this season, Westbrook's average stats are 18 points + 7.5 rebounds + 7.1 assists + shooting 43.6% + three-point shooting rate of 29.1%, the projection is very bad, and his triple-double is also rare, which is far less than his performance in the Wizards, fortunately, in the last 2 games, Westbrook played the real self, playing the Raptors Westbrook scored 22 points + 10 rebounds + 10 assists + shooting 44.4% + three-double data of 57.1% shooting and gave a perfect draw. Playing Wizards Wei Shao scored 22 points + 10 rebounds + 8 assists + shooting rate of 66.7% + three-point shooting rate of 66.7% quasi-triple double, this is obviously not 30 + 10 + 10 level Wei Shao, but can take such data around Zhan Huang, it can also be called magical!
Wei Shao's last 2 games totaled 44 points + 20 rebounds + 18 assists of the data, this is close to the average triple-double performance per game, through these 2 games, after being mocked by Wei Shao, he seems to announce the return of his king, but this Lakers can not win, it does not seem to be determined by Wei Shao, before the Lakers lost, fans often complained that Wei Shao's performance was too bad, at that time Wei Shao's data was indeed too bad, the pot is not back, but from recent points of view, Wei Shao's performance is so good, the Lakers still seem so difficult, The real source of the Lakers may be in coach Vogel...
Vogel is called a defensive head coach, he coached the Lakers was one of the best defensive teams in the league, but in fact, at that time the Lakers had Caruso, Pop, Green, the defense of these 3 is OK, the Lakers front line has an active Kuzma, younger than the current Zhan Huang, the inner line has a thick eyebrow brother who can compete for DPOY, as well as McGee and Howard, the 2 big gates, the Lakers' good defense at that time, in fact, can not all be counted on Vogel, and now the Lakers have lost that configuration, The Lakers' defense plummeted, and more importantly, in the game against the Wizards, the last 8 minutes and 30 seconds of the final quarter were infinitely blocked and eaten, and Vogel did not make any meaningful operations in defense!
The Lakers offense is not good is the player's bad feel, the defense is not good can be said to be too poor defensive resources, but this wave of gods are on the offensive end of the killing ring, Vogel has no point of pertinence, which seems unreasonable, the so-called defensive head coach was beaten by the opponent's set of playing methods, from this point of view, Vogel may have been seriously overestimated, more interestingly, after the game Vogel said: "We played too bad when Zhan Huang was not present!" Didn't he know that Zhan Huang played 9 minutes and 10 seconds in the last quarter, which was 1 minute and 9 seconds more than the last quarter of Bo Shen? Didn't he know that Zhan Huang was on the field before bo shen came on the scene in the last quarter, and Zhan Huang never got off the court again?
Such a head coach, even if Wei Shao continues to be in the most recent state, the Lakers want to enter the playoffs and want to make a difference in the playoffs, it is probably very difficult, it is difficult?
