The Lakers have more news today, and the most important thing is that head coach Vogel is out of class. In fact, Fat Ding personally believes that this is not a smart decision. But after a bad season, someone has to take responsibility for the Lakers. Judging from the current situation of the Lakers, it is difficult for the Lakers lineup to change drastically, and the management cannot fire itself, so the dismissal of the employer coach has become the lowest-cost option.
On April 12, Beijing time, Lakers star James also accepted an interview with reporters. Embiid has officially won the NBA league's leading scorer this season. In an interview with reporters, James also talked about the topic of scoring kings. James gave a positive response this time, the scoring king must not also, is not for also. James said: "I'm not going to play a meaningless game for the point king. Not making the playoffs and going after the scoring champion is the most absurd thing ever. ”
In fact, James did have a chance to win the scoring king, but in the end, he only played 56 games and missed the scoring king. If James plays two more games at the end of the Lakers and deliberately brushes the points, there is indeed a great chance to win the scoring champion. After all, James is in the scoring king competition, and James has been ahead of Embiid for a long time.
James did not insist on playing 2 more games in the end, which surprised many fans and caused a lot of controversy. Some fans believe that the reason why James does not play is that on the one hand, he does not care about statistics and honors, on the other hand, he suffers injuries.
However, some fans believe that James's final failure to play is forced by the pressure of public opinion. The game against the Suns a few days ago can be said to be the lakers' life and death battle this season. James's failure to play caused a lot of repercussions, and some fans even held up signs that said: If it was Kobe, he would play! Some fans said that if the life and death battle is not fought, and then the Warriors and Thunder are played, this intention is too obvious.
Which of the above 2 statements do you agree with?
James also talked about his 4-year Lakers career, saying that the goal of joining the Lakers has been achieved. James said: "I'm here to help the Lakers win a championship, but I want to win more championships. I've done what I want to do, but I want to do it again. ”
James's 4-year Lakers career can be said to be a big ups and downs. The Lakers didn't make the playoffs in their first season, and then the Lakers began to make drastic adjustments to the roster. Although it is a pity to send away all the future of the Lakers, the thick eyebrow brother will be brought to the height of the championship as soon as he comes.
After the Lakers won the championship, due to the frequent injuries of Anthony Davis and James, the Lakers quickly fell. Last season, he reached the playoffs, met the Suns in the first round, and simply did not enter the playoffs this season.
