On April 2, Beijing time, James and Thick Brow came back together, still unable to save the Lakers, after suffering 5 consecutive losses, they are also drifting away from the playoffs. In fact, the scene in the game of Wei Shao makes people more or less able to see the mentality of this battle Lakers.
After losing to the Pelicans, the former best sixth man, commentator Crawford complained about the Lakers, "I'm not even sure if they know what kind of team they are, there are only 5 games left, the Lakers have not yet figured out their own direction, whether the Lakers are really concerned about this (play-off situation), in fact, do not care, the behavior is visible." It's time to burn your eyebrows, and if you really want to continue this season, you have to go all out and fight every round. ”
That's right, Crawford is complaining about the spirit of the Lakers on the court. There was a scene in the fourth quarter of the game, where there were 10 minutes and 45 seconds left in the quarter, and Wei Shao forced a shot in the face of the opponent's close defense, resulting in an outrageous three-fold shot in the back jump shot.
What is heartwarming is that back in the backfield, Wei Shao laughed, and the camera immediately gave to Vogel on the sidelines, only to see the Lakers coach's face was livid.
Although Westbrook hit three consecutive three-pointers since then, he scored 10 points in the fourth quarter. However, that didn't hide the poor performance in the first three quarters, and throughout the game, he made 5 of 15, 4 of 4 three-pointers, and had 12 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists.
A large part of the Lakers' nightmarish performance this season is due to the incompatibility of Westbrook, as the team's most important signing of the summer, it is not successful at present. If the Lakers don't make it to the playoffs, Westbrook and Vogel will probably have to leave.
