On April 4, Beijing time, the Lakers played at home against the Nuggets, and the Nuggets successfully defeated the Lakers 129-118 at the end of the game. After losing to the Pelicans in the last game, the Lakers were completely in a desperate situation, in the case of no way to take the initiative to decide that they can still play in the playoffs, the Lakers need to work hard to win every next game, in fact, in order to win the game, the thick eyebrows are injured, and in the game, Wei Shao, thick eyebrows have played a good performance, but unfortunately the Lakers collapsed in the fourth quarter of the game, and finally the Nuggets won the game.
This game lakers is a backwater battle, and in this game thick eyebrows have really tried their best, after all, thick eyebrows have long shown their competitiveness, especially in the defense of Jokic thick eyebrows once did a very good job, when the Lakers are in difficulty thick eyebrows rely on their own personal ability to help the team stabilize the situation, but thick eyebrows are obviously still affected by injuries, in the fourth quarter key moments thick eyebrows did not have too many bright performance, and finally the Lakers still lost the game. However, when there is no suspense in the game, James sitting on the bench is still more relaxed to smile, after all, there is a saying that when the Lakers lose to the Pelicans, they basically do not have much hope of playing in the playoffs this season, so the Lakers lose this game is not worth too much frustration, after all, the Lakers really think that there is still a chance to turn over, then James may also fight with injuries.
So from the perspective of James's absence, the Lakers may only hold a try-and-try attitude, but in fact, the Lakers really have a chance to win in this game, after all, the Lakers still have the lead in this game, but the Lakers have not been able to hold the lead, which in the face of the Nuggets' obvious physical disadvantages, the Lakers really did not show their advantages, of which Barton's outbreak in the game is one thing, Howard should get more playing time in this game, after all, Howard, The thick-browed twin-tower lineup still had good results, but Howard was forced to sit on the cold bench by Vogel on the bench in the fourth quarter.
And the Lakers lost this game Vogel is really hard to blame, first of all for the use of Howard is a big problem, in the fourth quarter did not go to Howard is one thing, when the Nuggets on Cousins four small, the Lakers could have been on Howard to have a greater advantage, but Vogel did not do this, more importantly in this game Tucker again got less than 18 minutes of playing time, to know that Tucker in this game really bad, In the second quarter of the game Tucker defense in the opponent has been playing the board when Tucker completed the block, which gave the opponent the opportunity to play 2+1, when he saw the ball, Vogel on the sidelines began to shake his head, but tucker still had the opportunity to play, which was not in the fourth quarter when the Lakers were passive, Tucker's brainless serve mistake gave the opponent the opportunity to continue to open the score.
So Vogel's various operations on the court should really be responsible for the Lakers' loss, and on the contrary, Wei Shao has tried his best in this game, when the Lakers are in difficulty, Wei Shao uses his personal ability to solve the problem, but it is a pity that Wei Shao is still not capable of turning the tide. And Wei Shao in recent games also proved that he has the ball when he can solve a big problem, but in fact, this season's Wei Shao did not get such a comfortable position most of the time, in this case Wei Shao became a scapegoat for the Lakers to lose, but Wei Shao is one of the reasons for the Lakers' loss, but Wei Shao should not bear all, Vogel's coaching, coupled with the operation of the Lakers management and the Lakers' injury problems, this is an important factor in the Lakers' failure, So the Lakers' failure this season really shouldn't make Wei Shao take full responsibility, and he shouldn't be a scapegoat.
