On April 12, Beijing time, the NBA regular season has come to an end, and the next first is the playoffs to compete for the final playoff places. The Lakers, who did not qualify for the playoffs, officially announced the dismissal of employer Coach Vogel, which is also a result that has long been expected by the outside world, after all, the first to stand up and carry the pot must be the head coach.
The Lakers officially issued an announcement, officially dismissed the team coach Vogel, and also posted his championship photos, writing: Thank you, coach.
Vogel is the 27th head coach in Lakers history, coached for three seasons, achieved a record of 127 wins and 98 losses, and led the team to a championship in the 19-20 season, which is the 17th championship trophy in Lakers history. But even so, in the face of this season's sluggish record, he still needs to take responsibility. General manager Pelinka said: "It was a very difficult decision, but we think it was necessary. All of us in this room wish Frank and his wonderful family all the best in the future. ”
In the wrap-up meeting that followed, Westbrook broke out that he and Vogel had some problems that hadn't come together all season, saying in an interview: "We've never really connected, I really can't give you an answer, I've never had a problem with any of my coaches before." I'm not sure what problems he had with me, I don't know why, I feel like I've been trying to prove myself to Vogel all year. ”
Whatever the problem, it is no longer necessary, Vogel has left, and Wei Shao is very close to leaving.
James said: "Vogel as a coach and a man, I respect him. I have only respect for him. ”
This season, Vogel made James' career debut in the center position, and the effect seems to be good, although the defensive end is not very good, but the offensive end is still very good. Unfortunately, the team's continuous injuries have caused the team to never be able to get together, the big three have only played a total of 21 games, and none of the team's five-player combination has played more than 100 minutes, which is the reason for their failure.
