The NBA regular season continues, and the Lakers vs. Raptors game officially begins. The two teams played very intensely in this game, and the strength shown at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends was relatively close. At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led by four points. At the end of the two quarters, the Raptors led by 2 points. Even in the second half, the difference between the two teams is still controlled within a traceable range. At the end of the third quarter, the difference between the two teams was only 1 point. However, in the final showdown, the Lakers still withstood the pressure and defeated the Raptors 132-131. 
Truth be told, it was a great game for both teams, and both teams left their best on the pitch. Throughout the game, the data handed over by the two teams were relatively close. Rebounding: The Raptors grabbed 37 rebounds and the Lakers grabbed 39 rebounds. In terms of assists: The Raptors had 33 assists and the Lakers had 34. In terms of shooting percentage: The Raptors shot 55% from the field and 45% from three-point range. The Lakers shot 54 percent from the field and 44 percent from three-point range. Obviously, from these statistics alone, we can see how exciting the two teams played in this game. 
After reading the data, let's talk about the Lakers again. As for the trend of the game, I won't be verbose here, and in this article, I want to talk about James, Davis, and the Lakers' No. 1 spot. It is very appropriate to use a sentence like "James is exhausted, thick eyebrows prove the core value, and the Lakers' No. 1 position is too stretched". 
Let's start with James. James played 35 minutes in this game, shooting 8 of 17, including 2 of 5 three-pointers and 4 of 6 free throws, and scored 22 points, 5 rebounds, 12 assists, and 1 steal. In the first half, James's main task was to sort out the team's offense, and under James's combing, Davis and Reddish got a lot of opportunities to shoot in the open space. Davis, in particular, was fed 16 points by James. The second half was the second half, and when the Lakers struggled to score, James used his individual ability to help the team score. Breaking through with the ball, three-pointers from the outside, James will not return empty-handed every time he attacks. However, James's style of play also exhausted himself, and it was not easy to see a 39-year-old man playing like this. 
After talking about James, let's talk about Davis. Davis played 40 minutes in this game, shooting 13 of 17, including 2 of 2 three-pointers and 10 of 12 free throws, and scored 39 points, 11 rebounds, and 6 assists. Davis is undoubtedly the best helper next to James, and Davis is the Lakers' interior gate on the defensive end. As long as Davis is on the court, the Lakers' defense is among the best in the league. On the offensive end, Davis is the strongest offensive point on the Lakers' interior and the player with the most offensive means for the Lakers. The inside line can hold the ball and play alone, and the outside line also has a soft shooting touch. Especially in the last moments, Davis's 6 of 6 free throws was the key to the Lakers' victory. All in all, Davis proved his worth, proved his quality, and proved that he is still a top-10 star in the league. 
I believe that when I see the fans here, I will say again, why do the Lakers still play so hard when James and Davis are so strong?Actually, the answer to this question is very simple, that is, the Lakers' No. 1 position is too stretched, too weak. Neither Russell nor Reaves could meet the expectations of the fans, and neither could fulfill the task of sharing the pressure for James. So for the Lakers, how to improve their No. 1 position is the first problem they should solve, and if they can't solve this problem, it will be difficult for the Lakers to go further this season.
