The good news came, thick eyebrows supported DPOY, and James publicly expressed his support.
LeBron James has officially announced that Anthony Davis is the best defender for the Los Angeles Lakers to beat the Detroit Pistons. At the same time as the Lakers' victory, James also expressed great praise for Davis in his post-game press conference, likening him to their captain and center "Ray Lewis".
The Lakers are in great form, with five of their last six straight wins coming up to 29-26. James chose Davis as this year's "Best Defender" because of how well he played against the Pistons.
The Lakers reduced the Pistons' shooting percentage to 417%, Davis scored 20 points, 14 rebounds, and 6 blocks in 28 minutes.
"He's our captain Ray Lewis, our centre-back.
This statement is a good illustration of Davis's important role for the whole team, a block, showing Davis's versatility, he used his own hands to block the opponent's attack, and laid the lead for the team.
While Davis humbly says he's just trying to be a good defensive player, James believes the Lakers' defense is brought in by Davis.
James added: "From a defensive point of view, we played very consistently. If anything goes wrong, the best defender of the season will contribute to the team on the pitch.
James joked at a press conference that the Lakers deliberately launched an offensive attack on Davis as a test of whether he could be the best defender of the season. This sentence is said casually, but it is actually an affirmation of Davis's ability. James praised Davis, giving the Lakers more confidence while also helping Davis compete for the best defender of the season.
Davis himself praised his defense and insisted that it was just one of many great results he has achieved this year. In the meantime, he also said that he may have missed out on the "best defender" of the season, which he understands and regrets. Maybe that's why he's looking forward to this year's competition.
Davis is now the last Defender of the Year and is still a long way from leader Rudy Gobert. Although Davis has good rebounding and blocking ability, he has been injured in the past, so he is in a difficult position to compete with the team.
However, James' ability to push and Davis' continued play will help win this game.
The Lakers' victory is not only about their offensive firepower, but also about their teamwork. Davis dominated the team's defense with his powerful rebounding and amazing blocks throughout the game, creating a lot of valuable goals for the Lakers.
James' praise isn't just a slogan, it's a testament to Davis' place on the team. The Lakers have played well overall, and their defensive coordination and team spirit have made them even better on the court. Davis isn't just a player, he's a leader defensively.
James believes in Davis' vision, which makes the atmosphere more harmonious within the team, the team has become more united than ever, and the Lakers will win a championship.
James' performance in public has strengthened the team's unity, which has also made the Lakers' sprint through the playoffs more motivated. It's not just an honor for one person, it's also a recognition for the whole team.
Under Davis' leadership, the Lakers have not only made great progress offensively, but have also become more solid defensively. That kind of team spirit and self-confidence will play a good role in the remaining games and make the Lakers stand out as the favorites to win the championship. Davis' personal accomplishments and the rise of the Lakers as a team have made fans full of expectations and excitement for him.
All in all, the Lakers are in great shape right now, and Davis is doing well defensively, which gives us a lot of confidence. If Davis can continue to play like this and continue to play defensively, he will be the best defender of the season.
It would also bring good news to the Lakers, which is that they can do well in the playoffs, giving them a chance to fight for more championships.
