On April 12, Beijing time, the NBA regular season has come to an end, and the teams that have advanced to the playoffs have begun to prepare, and those who have not won the playoffs have begun to prepare for the next season. No, within 24 hours of the final game, 2 head coaches were fired, and the NBA also ushered in the end of the class, which may just be the beginning.
The Kings have informed interim coach Gentry to leave the class and the team will be looking for a new head coach.
In the middle of the season, the Kings announced that coach Walton was sacked and Gentry became the interim manager, and there was hope of impacting the play-offs, but in the end it was unsuccessful. The Kings last made the playoffs in 2006, and have missed the playoffs for 16 consecutive seasons, continuing to break NBA records. During this period, the Kings have changed 11 coaches, but this can not change the nature of their bad team, do not know who the next manager will be.
The Lakers officially issued an announcement officially firing team coach Vogel and posting his championship photos, writing: Thank you, coach.
The news of the dismissal of Vogel, which was already spread after the end of the game yesterday, has been a disappointing season for the Lakers this season, and the head coach's dismissal can also be expected. When a team doesn't achieve the expected results, the head coach is definitely the first to carry the pot. Regarding the dismissal of Vogel, general manager Pelinka said: "It was a very difficult decision, but we think it is necessary. All of us in this room wish Frank and his wonderful family all the best in the future. ”
Vogel coached the Lakers for three seasons, with a record of 127 wins and 98 losses, and led the team to the championship in the 19-20 season. In terms of ability, Vogel is still very good, but this season he has suffered a lot of troubles, continuous injuries, and 41 starting lineups in one season, which is indeed not normal. With the coach's dismissal, the Lakers will also make adjustments to the personnel, many players are veteran contracts, need to make a trade-off, including the big three, there may also be changes.
The dismissal of Gentry and Vogel is also a start for other teams, and it will not end there. After the playoffs begin, there will also be managers who will become the favorites for graduation, of which 76ers coach Rivers and Nets coach Nash are the most likely representatives. Once the two teams do not achieve good results in the playoffs, the possibility of them being dismissed is also very large, especially Nash, who has been questioned for a season.
The other is Trail Blazers coach Billups, who only won 27-55 in his first season in charge, which favored Rad's early reimbursement and McCollum's trade, but this was a decision after watching the team's hopeless season.
