The Lakers fired head coach Frank Vogel, which is an explanation for this disappointing season. Although it is a bit unkind to let Vogel take responsibility alone, it is an indisputable fact that the results are not as expected, and the dismissal of the head coach is also the usual way of "covering up the ugliness". Several coaches are fired every season for unsatisfactory results, and vogel is paying more attention because it happened to the Lakers.
Someone has to come, and the vacancy must be filled.
Just after the Lakers' coaching position was vacated, head coach candidates sprung up like mushrooms, including the current managers such as Nick Nas, Doug Rivers, Quinn Snyder, etc., as well as Mark Jackson, Terry Stotts and so on, who had coached in the NBA. Of course, there are also some names full of topicality, such as "Zen master" Phil Jackson, who had a relationship with Jenny Bass.
The appearance of these names is not really any contact with the Lakers, but the speculation of the media, the willingness of the fans, or simply talking about playing. For example, "Zen Master" Phil Jackson, because of the special relationship with team owner Jenny Bass, the Lakers will be taken out every time there is a disturbance.
But considering the age, coaching motivation and many other factors, this is simply a fantasy.
In addition to these names, there will be some more interesting "candidates", 51-year-old American rapper Master P introduced himself a few days ago, "If the Lakers want to win, then let me coach the team, at least give me a chance to try, because this is Hollywood." 」 ”
By the way, he also "named" Shaquille O'Neal as his assistant coach.
Let Shaquille O'Neill be a teaching assistant? The superstar who helped the Lakers build a new dynasty seems to prefer to coach the Lakers and live the addiction of being a head coach. Recently, in a show, he said that he is willing to coach the Lakers next season - yes, the premise is that the Lakers will pay them 25 million yuan a year and sign a four-year contract.
That's an outrageous price tag, more than twice the annual salary of Spurs coach Popovich.
However, it was more like a joke from O'Neal, as he did during the game or in the commentary. O'Neal has no coaching experience, and while steve Cole is in front, there are more Steve Nash-like embarrassments. The Lakers' current situation is worse, and there is no chance to give the new coach time to trial and error.
The same was true of the Lakers' last coach selection, with new candidates popping up, and even Tyrone Lue broke down to the point of negotiating a contract. Frank Vogel was eventually finalized as the team's new coach, but the coaching staff also included Lionel Hollins and Jason Kidd, well, which is considered the Lakers' "backhand" left.
Vogel's life was hard, but he could not escape the fate of being fired.
By the time the Lakers are choosing another coach, it's like the second season of an entertainment show, and this season is a little different from before, the team has just experienced a losing season. So, the "I can go on me" taunt will spread unconsciously, coaching the Lakers last season? No one would have achieved worse results than that.
That's a lineup with the "Big Three.".
