Vogel is out of class, and it's not a surprise to be reasonable. The Lakers lost the season, only got the eleventh record in the West, obviously someone wants to stand up and carry the pot, Vogel can only be the best candidate to carry the pot. The Lakers have played quite poorly this season, and the book lineup is very intimidating, but the real immediate combat ability is very general. And Vogel is also helpless, the Lakers' loss this season is reasonable, the head coach is actually the most helpless, because he simply can't control the team's situation.
First of all, last year's offseason Lakers operated in general. The young Caruso, Kuzma and others were let go, and instead brought in Ariza, Ellington, Anthony and other veterans. The season hadn't fully started yet, and Ariza simply announced an eight-week break. Then There was Nunn injury, Munch injury, Davis injury, James injury! The Lakers at least have a third of the season in the lineup is extremely unstable, why Will Vogel crazy change the starting lineup, no way, the people who play the ball can not be sure that he can only change the lineup.
Again, Vogel has been criticized for his coaching ability on the defensive end this season. As a defensive coach, the Lakers' defense this season is almost useless, completely becoming a weak team-level defense. But is all the blame for this thing on Vogel? He's a defensive coach, but he needs someone to do! The Average Age of the Lakers is over 30 years old, making it the oldest team in the league. Expect 38-year-old James or 38-year-old Anthony? Or is there less defensive loophole? Or Davis, who keeps getting hurt?
No one in the Lakers can defend, why did Vogel like to use Rivers in the end? It's really not because of how well Rivers plays and how good his physical fitness is, but because Rivers is one of the few people in the Lakers who is willing to fight for his life. The fundamental reason why the Lakers' defense cannot be started is still in age, why are the Lakers called Lake Sanbang? Always in the third quarter, the whole team is physically weak, and others rest for ten minutes to recover their physical strength, but the Lakers' group of veterans is not enough to rest. Vogel is a woman who can't cook, what he wants to do and what he can do are completely different things, so as a head coach, it is also very uncomfortable.
And what's the biggest problem? Is wei shao and James visible incompatibility, when you let who to play as a substitute? Not to mention letting Wei Shao play as a substitute, that is, sitting on the cold bench in the last quarter is very emotional, and Vogel can't control these superstars of the Lakers. Vogel can only try his best to make these players keep running in and find two sets of suitable lineups. But after a season, the Lakers still can't find the feeling of winning. Vogel has actually always been a good coach, especially in the years of the Pacers, the team's defense is very solid, but even the best coach can not not look at the players, do not look at the stars, can only say that in the Lakers he did not do bad, after all, 20 years of championships won!
