On April 6, Beijing time, the Lakers lost to the Suns today, which can be described as a double blow, the first heavy blow, swept by the opponent, the Sun completed the season four kills, and the point difference was more than 10 points; the second blow, the Lakers suffered 7 consecutive losses, officially missed the playoffs. In this game, although Wei Shao had the highest 6 mistakes in the game, it can be seen from the action that he is very eager to win this victory, and after the whole game, Wei Shao is difficult to defeat four hands with two fists, 10 of 20, and cut 28 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists.
Wei Shao scored the highest score in the whole team, but unfortunately, the Lakers' own strength was not good, and the opponent was indeed too strong, and finally the Purple and Gold Legion hated the northwest. It is worth mentioning that this is the first time that Westbrook has missed the playoffs since 2015. In the 2014-15 season, Westbrook, who played for the Thunder at the time, led the team to 45 wins and 37 losses in Durant with only 27 games due to injury, ranking ninth in the West and missing the playoffs. At the same time, this is also the second time in James' Lakers career and the third time in his career that he missed the playoffs, and it is clear that the cooperation between the two veterans has not achieved the desired effect.
After the Lakers end the season early, the offseason team lineup will definitely change, the first person to go will definitely be Vogel, according to media news, the Lakers have decided to fire Vogel, they targeted Jazz coach Schneider and 76ers head coach Doug Rivers. In addition, Munch will seek tens of millions of annual salaries this summer, and the Lakers may not be able to meet his requirements, so Munch may also choose to leave. Now, fans are most concerned about the problem of the big three.
For such a question, Wei Shao also gave his own answer after the game, he said that the end of the season is very frustrating, when asked if he hopes to have more opportunities to work with Zhan Mei next season, Wei Shao only used 8 words to answer, he said: "There is nothing to promise." Obviously, Wei Shao's words were addressed to James and Brother Thick-Browed. This season, Westbrook has been questioned, but he is almost full of diligence, so far, the Turtles have played 77 games, while James has only played 56 games, and Brother Thick Brow has only played 39 games.
Wei Shao may indeed have certain problems, but the Lakers' own problems are not all in Wei Shao's body, this team is too old, seriously lack of outside shooters, internal liners are also insufficient, defense is useless, simply do not have the qualifications to compete for the championship. Wei Shao's remarks are very intriguing, and it can be heard from his words that he is tired of people's doubts, and at the same time feels lost in his cooperation with James and Brother Thickbrow, the responsibility should not be borne by Westbrook alone, Brother Thickbrow is like a glass man this season, he is the culprit of the team's failure to make the playoffs.
At the end of this season, it is unknown whether the Big Three will continue to cooperate, but it is conceivable that once a team is willing to accept a deal from Westbrook, I believe that the Lakers and Westbrook will be happy to achieve it. Wei Shao can lead a group of ordinary players to the playoffs in the Wizards, to the Lakers, as well as James and Thick Brow Brother two stars, but can not play the playoffs, perhaps the most should not be reflected on Wei Shao.
