On April 12, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season has come to an end yesterday. The Lakers' final record was 33 wins and 49 losses, and as a big favorite at the beginning of the game, the Lakers' final results were not satisfactory.
Earlier today, the Lakers officially issued an announcement announcing the official dismissal of team coach Vogel, which reads as follows:
Vogel is the 27th head coach in Lakers history. During his tenure, Vogel finished 127 wins and 98 losses and led the Lakers to the NBA championship in the 2019-20 season.
Lakers vice president and general manager Pelinka said: "Whether it's on and off the court, I have a lot of respect for Vogel. He was a great coach and a good guy. We will always thank him for bringing the 2019-20 NBA championship to the Lakers. It was a very difficult decision, but we thought it was necessary. We all wish Vogel and his wonderful family all the best in the future. ’”
Lakers officials then posted a photo of Vogel and the championship trophy and wrote: "Thank you, coach! ”
Since becoming lakers coach in 2019, Vogel's annual results are as follows:
2019-20 Lakers 52 wins, 19 losses West 1st (overall champion)
2020-21 Lakers 42 wins and 30 losses West Seventh (eliminated in the first round)
2021-22 Lakers 33 wins and 49 losses 11th in the West (missed the playoffs)
In these three seasons, Vogel's coaching performance has deteriorated, and the Lakers' defensive efficiency ranks 3rd, 1st and 21st in the league, the offensive efficiency is 11th, 24th and 22nd, and the net efficiency is 5th, 8th and 22nd respectively!
In the middle of the season, Vogel faced a crisis of dismissal when he was accused of losing control of the team. But in the end, the Lakers decided to keep Vogel. Regrettably, Vogel did not lead the team to turn the tide in the end, and the team ended the season with bad results, which made Vogel the target of public criticism. According to reports, the Lakers coach will be a very long process, and Raptors coach Nas is one of the Lakers' targets.
For Vogel's dismissal, Lakers star James said: "Vogel as a coach and a man, I have great respect for him, I only have respect for him. "To be sure, after such a bad season, the Lakers will experience a lot of turmoil this summer, and Vogel's class is just the beginning.
