On April 12, Beijing time, with the end of the season, the Lakers were exposed to a lot of "insiders" by the media! Although this season is doomed to failure, there are still many fans who are watching the Lakers' every move, including the most concerned: When will Vogel leave class? Will James and Westbrook go?
First of all, a heavy news, in the morning, the Lakers officially issued an announcement and officially sacked the team coach Vogel! The team posted a photo of Vogel holding the cup with the caption: "Thank you, coach. Speaking about the requirements for the new manager, Pelinka said: "We need a manager who can inspire the whole team with his strong voice every night. ”
Player Bazemore broke the news: Vogel's motivational words often do not resonate in the Lakers' locker room. According to previous reports, the current Lakers new coach search has two new targets, namely Raptors coach Nas and University of Michigan coach Juwan Howard, and cavaliers Rondo may also join its coaching staff as an assistant coach.
Ariza is gone, and now Vogel is gone, and many fans say that the next most likely is Wei Shao! According to previous reports, one of the reasons why the Lakers failed this season is because of the feud between Westbrook and Vogel!
Many fans believe that it is because Vogel always presses Wei Shao on the bench at key moments, and he does not trust him, which has caused problems for the two. In fact, according to the los Angeles Times reporter's joint report, Wei Shao and Vogel have been in friction since the first day.
Vogel said there were Munch, Rivers, James and Thick Brow on the team, and everyone could dribble the ball up front, but Westbrook retorted: "I'm the point guard, you should give me that damn ball." From the moment of training camp, the two were already estranged.
Just when netizens questioned the veracity of the report, I did not expect that Wei Shao's interview today also confirmed that he was indeed at odds with Vogel: "I have never really been associated with him, we have never really had a chemical reaction, from the beginning I felt that I needed to prove to him, and I am not sure what he really thinks of me." 」 ”
Then Westbrook added a few points: 1. When I first came to the Lakers, I didn't get a fair chance to be myself and help the team get better, and it was strange that I had to prove myself again, which was unfair.
2, the only problem I really encountered here is that the feedback from the fans to me is not very good, which is disappointing! 3, last season I can average three-doubles per game, and not doing enough in the Lakers means failure. I wasn't happy with my performance, but the performance in the final stages was okay.
Fans who have watched the game know that in the final crucial stage of the Lakers' game, Westbrook really poured everything out! He scored 25 points against the Lone Rangers, then contributed 24 points in the next game against the Jazz, 27 points against the Nuggets, and 28 points in the life-and-death battle with the Suns! You will be surprised to find that the hit rate of the Turtle seems to have returned, and he is the one who fights the most on the field and wants to win.
Shen Gui said that zhan Mei said many times during the season that "let Wei Shao become Wei Shao and let him be himself" are not true. 'I haven't made any decisions yet, but I'll make a decision and haven't thought about where to play next season yet. Wei Shao said.
There are already a number of teams interested in Westbrook, jordan as previously reported is interested in Westbrook; today's Shams update, the Pacers are interested in trading Westbrook, willing to come up with chips are Hilde and Brogdon; Lakers chronicler Jovan Buha said that Westbrook's next stop may be Houston, New York or Charlotte.
Finally, speaking of James, the elder James revealed that he did not have any major problems after the MRI, did not need surgery, but had to rest for 4-6 weeks. Where do you think It's appropriate for Westbrook to go next season? Will he stay with the Lakers?
