With the NBA regular season officially ended yesterday, the Purple and Gold Legion, which was given high hopes by everyone at the beginning of the season, also ended this dark season, and in the final battle with the Nuggets yesterday, the Lakers once trailed the opponent by 17 points, relying on the outstanding performance of Munch and Reeves, and finally reversed the opponent 146-141, ending their 21-22 season journey. After the game, NBA celebrity WOJ revealed that the Lakers will officially dismiss coach Vogel tomorrow, and the latter seems to be unaware, and directly exploded at the post-game press conference: I haven't heard any, just enjoy tonight's game. ”
The Lakers unloaded the donkey and fired the championship coach after the former NBA players complained about it
As a result, earlier today, the Lakers officially announced the dismissal of coach Frank Vogel. As soon as the news came out, it also caused great controversy in the outside world, and former NBA player Richard Jefferson, who once won the championship with LeBron James, talked about the Lakers' dismissal of Vogel without informing him: "Vogel was fired, and the Lakers did not even politely speed up the coach who won the championship for them 18 months ago, and they let him leave directly. It can be seen that Jefferson is also very angry at the Lakers' practice of unloading and killing donkeys, and is complaining about the unfair treatment suffered by Vogel.
Leading the team to win the championship in his first season, Vogel brought changes to the Lakers' defensive end
Time back to May 19, when the Lakers just fired Luke Watton on the front foot, the back foot and the former Coach Pacers, Magic Vogel signed a contract, after the Pacers and sitting on the Big Three Heat 7 games as the lakers' new coach, but also let the team's previous lack of defense ushered in a significant improvement, the past two seasons the Lakers' defensive efficiency can be ranked among the top in the league, it is precisely because of their attention on the defensive end, In his first season as manager, Vogel led the team to the Finals, eliminating the Heat 4-2 and winning the NBA championship in the 19-20 season.
The management inexplicably broke up the championship team, Vogel unfortunately became a puppet, and the Lakers disappointed that he should not carry the pot for a season
And last season, the Lakers management inexplicably broke up the championship team, including Rondo, Howard, Bradley, Danny Green, McGee, these main rotations all left the team, like them just won the championship but immediately disintegrated in the second year, in addition to the 11-year lone ranger, the Lakers are indeed the second such a strange team, but considering that the original lone ranger is because of the aging of the lineup, had to face restructuring, but the Lakers this set of championship team, several main players can fight, but the management of the faint operation , but it hurt this big team.
Although the Lakers signed Schroeder last season to make up for the gap in the backcourt after Rondo, Green and others left, the latter's sluggish performance on the offensive end, coupled with the defensive end is a black hole, in addition to Encountering James, Thick Eyebrows have suffered injuries one after another, which also made the Lakers unfortunately suffer the first round. And this season, when Vogel continues to have no say in the introduction of personnel, boss Jenny Bass has encouraged Pelinka to trade for Westbrook, which seriously damages the team's chemistry. In the end, the Lakers became a pseudo-strong team this season. In the 18 months after leading the team to win the championship, Vogel probably did not expect that he would become a victim of this Lakers palace fight, but being able to escape the lakers' bitter sea is really a relief for Vogel.
