After the Lakers' loss to the Heat, the team has lost eight of its last 10 games, making it a three-game losing streak. After this game, a number of reporters reported that the atmosphere in the locker room of the Lakers team fell to the freezing point, and there were huge differences between head coach Ham and the main players in the locker room, which was also considered by industry insiders to be a signal that Ham was about to leave class, and even the odds of who the next head coach would be have been opened, the Lakers' current assistant coach Handy ranked first, the second place was Juwan Howard, and the third place was the Lakers veteran Dudley, interestingly, Lao Zhan was also in this list, he ranked 12th, some people believe that James may follow the example of Xi Relijiang, both as a player and as a head coach, and the two positions are shoulder-to-shoulder。
In fact, whether it was Shams or TA's Lakers reporter Jovan Buha reported on this before, everyone would be skeptical, but just today, Lakers teenager Lewis liked this report, which reassured fans that the internal strife within the Lakers should be real. After the last game, James directly refused the interview, and the Lakers official also sent this message, and it was in an interview with thick eyebrows, thick eyebrows didn't start to say, James left directly in clothes, which was considered a "disrespectful" performance, of course, thick eyebrows didn't say anything, expressing dissatisfaction with the status quo and frustration.
Why do Lakers players have an opinion about Ham? In fact, in the final analysis, it is the rotation lineup of the main players and the arrangement of on-the-spot adjustments that make many people dissatisfied. Ham used his 10th starting lineup of the season in the third game of the Lakers' three-game losing streak, and in this lineup, Prince and Reddish both scored 0 points, with a total of 7 shots and 0 shots, which was widely questioned by fans. In addition, Ham emphasized too much injury after the game, which made people feel uncomfortable, injuries exist on every team, Butler of the Heat did not play, Spoelstra did not mention the word injury at all, so Ham has been in the Lakers community within the team, and he has not been recognized.
After taking over the Lakers last season, Ham's ability was widely questioned, leading the team to 11th place in the West, which was very poor, but fortunately, the Lakers made several trades in the middle of the season, which brought the Lakers back to life, and finally they ranked 7th in the West, entered the playoffs through the play-offs, and went all the way to the Western Conference finals in the playoffs. Although he was swept 0-4 by the Nuggets in the Western Conference finals, Ham's rookie season as a head coach is still worthy of recognition, which is also an important reason why Ham was retained by the Lakers. However, this season, the Lakers are once again in a quagmire, and the current record is only 10th in the West, so if they continue to play like this, not to mention that the locker room is dissatisfied with him, the general manager and the owner will also intervene in advance.
The Lakers youngster praised the report, Ham had a disagreement with the locker room, and Lao Zhan left the game early! The youngster Lewis was a little interesting, I don't know if his hand slipped, or he did it on purpose, or was instructed by others to do so, in short, his praise directly sent head coach Ham to the cusp again. From the recent attitude of the Lakers' main players, we can also know a little bit about it, and it is true that he is not very satisfied with Ham. Old James and Davis, they represent the locker room, they are not for sale, so, it is predictable that if the Lakers' situation continues to deteriorate, Ham will be held accountable.
