As the playoffs draw nearer, the Lakers 's voice for defending the title is getting lower and lower. Especially after the recent record of 10 games and 7 losses, the Lakers, who are ranked sixth in the West, will enter the playoff competition if they are not careful. It can be said that the current Lakers have been completely reduced from the championship favorite to the cliff edge of the playoffs. .
has two super giants, James and Davis , as well as Schroeder , Harrell, Kuzma, Pau Gasol and other giants to assist, the Lakers once suppressed the same city in terms of winning the championship. Derby Clippers , but after the mid-to-late season, the Lakers' record "weirdly" began to reverse.
In fact, it is not difficult to find the culprit of this bitter fruit, that is coach Vogel! A good hand of the Lakers was played to a pulp, Vogel was too confident and focused on the playoffs and even the finals early, but forgot the regular season in front of him. Now that the Lakers have been pushed to the door of the playoffs, if they can't even enter the playoffs, are all the previous layouts embarrassing?
After Davis and James were conjoined, injuries have always been a sharp sword hanging over the Lakers, making people sleepless. However, when Davis and James were really knocked down by injuries one after another, the Lakers' performance did not collapse. A number of role players have performed well, and the team's record has been stable in the top 5 in the Western Conference.
But all the stability became turbulent after Drummond arrived. Little Gasol was put into the cold palace, and Drummond became Vogel's most trusted pastry. As a result, the Lakers' record began to "shaky".In fact, Vogel's idea is right, let Drummond integrate into the team as soon as possible, fill the team's declining strength after James and Davis are injured, and wait until the lineup is lined up in the playoffs to launch a more powerful impact.
However, Vogel seems to have overlooked a very critical factor. Can Drummond, who has been running in with role players, coexist with James and Davis? So we saw that after James and Davis returned one after another, the Lakers lost again and again. Instead of acting as a catalyst, Drummond eliminated the near-common combat effectiveness of James and Davis. After
was cornered, Vogel also seemed to realize this. In a recent game against and Nuggets , Pau Gasol was pushed to the center of the stage again, and the result was obvious. Now that James is in a truce again, Schroder is still in isolation, but the Lakers are still in crisis. If the Lakers are really forced into the playoffs, the fate of the Lakers this season is really difficult to grasp. Seeing Vogel in the distance and forgetting the sight in front of him is really a bad hand.
