Today, the Los Angeles Lakers ushered in their last regular season game of the season, which is also a farewell game. The entire Lakers team was disheartened by the early absence of a play-off, and they no longer scheduled James, "Thick Brow" Anthony Davis and Westbrook to play, and then used the remaining number of role players to play the season and then enter the offseason.
Against the Denver Nuggets, who had almost all of their main players off, the Lakers played more aggressively, with Munch on their team scoring 41 points, while Reeves also contributed a triple-double of 31 points, 16 rebounds and 10 assists. In the end, the Lakers beat the Nuggets 146-141 through overtime.
Despite ending the season with two consecutive wins, the Lakers still can't change the outcome of the defeat. Before the game was over, Shams, a well-known American basketball journalist, revealed that coach Vogel was already coaching his last Lakers game, and he would be fired by the Lakers.
Vogel refuted this view in an interview after the game, saying that he had not heard any news of the class, but in fact, many people knew about it. The Lakers have not performed well this season for many reasons, such as too many injuries, aging lineups, players not matching, and so on.
It's very difficult to solve these problems, and changing the head coach is the easiest and cheapest way. Vogel tried a lot of lineups this season, and the Lakers didn't improve much, so it also gave management a reason, that is, Vogel's improper command.
In fact, there are already voices in the discussion, saying that the Lakers will only leave James and the thick eyebrow brother, and Wei Shao will change if he can change, and if he can't change, he will directly cut it. Since the big three could not stay, Vogel naturally could not continue to coach.
