The NBA welcomes All-Star Weekend, where the league's young talents and aces will present a basketball feast to the world. In the next two months of the game, each team has to make efforts to attack the playoff spots, 41 points + 19 rebounds + 11 assists + 4 steals + 7 blocks, Davis played the best performance of his career, sorry, James, the Lakers boss is going to change hands, the young Davis is the king of Los Angeles, and he should become the core of the Lakers.
Davis has played in 52 games this season, averaging 24 per game9 points 15th in the league, 122 rebounds, 3rd in the league, 38 assists, 11 steal, 2He finished fifth in the league with five blocks and played 35 minutesHe finished 11th in the league in 7 minutes and shot 55 from two-point range3% 19th in the league, 3rd in the league with 3 offensive rebounds, and 41st place in the league with 4 points.
Davis has a true shooting percentage of 617% ranked 64th in the league with a usage rate of 262% ranked 33rd in the league with 16 inside scores2 points 3rd place in the league.
Last season Davis could get 259 points 12He shot 56 from the field with six rebounds3%, Davis has a slightly lower percentage of scoring rebounds this season than last season, but Davis has 3 assists this season8 times last season 26 times, cap 2Five last season were two, and Davis played 35 this season7 minutes last season 34 minutes.
35.Seven minutes is also the second highest in Davis' career, which also shows that Davis is also very healthy, and the Lakers have played 52 of the 56 games this season Davis has played 52 games and has an attendance rate of 928 percent, Davis played 56 games last season with just 68 attendance2%。
Davis' health is the biggest boon for the Lakers, Davis not only plays a long time, passes more to teammates, blocks more on defense, and his role on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends is also greater.
Davis had his best month in December, averaging 28 per game in 13 games5 points 123 rebounds 3With 3 assists, Davis played 5 games and scored 22 points and 124 rebounds 5Eight assists, Davis's assists increased dramatically in February, and Davis' preferred pick-and-roll assists for his teammates also increased dramatically.
The Lakers' 6-1 record in the last 7 games has a lot to do with Davis' willingness to pass the ball to his teammates, and the Lakers won heartily, with the Lakers winning by 16 points against the Jazz, 17 points against the Pelicans, and 8 points against the Knicks, and the Lakers played the best overall basketball.
In the Lakers' game against the Jazz, James was absent, and the Lakers beat their opponents 138-122, in this game Davis scored 37 points and 15 rebounds, and more importantly, his teammates also played well, Russell's 17 assists were a career-high, and Hachimura's 36 points were career-high.
The Lakers' recent excellent performance is also related to the excellent play of the third team dominated by Davis and Russell, who can play well to his characteristics and lead the team's offense and defense.
Davis also played super statistics this season, with 37 points and 15 rebounds against the Jazz, 26 points, 15 rebounds and 11 assists against the Hornets and a triple-double, 29 points and 13 rebounds against the Warriors, 33 points, 17 rebounds and 8 assists against the Timberwolves, 40 points and 13 rebounds against the Celtics, and 37 points and 11 rebounds against the Mavericks.
Now the Lakers are also more willing to develop tactics around Davis, Russell holds the ball Davis in the high post to his teammates to cover and block, and then Davis is looking for opportunities to dunk, before the Lakers let James hold the ball Davis is more like an interior coolie doing some dirty work, so Davis's characteristics have not been brought into play, which is also the reason why Davis has fewer assists in December but now the assist data has skyrocketed.
The Lakers let James hold the ball, that is, one person to play four people to watch, the Lakers let Russell hold the ball Davis as a block, dismantle and cover, the whole team can move, through continuous running to find vacant opportunities, so that the Lakers' offense is full of life, which is also the reason for the Lakers' recent excellent results, now the core of the Lakers' offense is Davis, and the Lakers develop tactics around Davis.
In the previous two seasons, James has always said that the Lakers are Davis and the team, and he is the boss of the team, but James has dupussy and does another.
James likes to attack with the ball, the Lakers let Prince and Reddish be bodyguards in order to cater to James, and let James control the ball, so Russell has been marginalized and has been playing badly, James's dominance has dropped greatly compared to the 19-20 championship season, the Lakers' offense can't be opened, Prince and Reddish are stronger in defense than offense, resulting in fewer Lakers' offensive points, and the Lakers' offense can't be opened and the results are not good.
Entering January, the Lakers changed their tactics and let Russell return to the starting lineup and partner Reaves in the backcourt, James played small forward, Davis returned to the center position, and Hachimura played power forward, so that Hachimura shared Davis's defensive pressure to a certain extent through active running and filling, and Davis focused on offense.
The Lakers' change of formation is that the team originally had James as the core, and now it is with Davis as the core, with Davis's inside containment and Hachimura's misplaced attack, the Lakers' offense has been raised to a higher level, and Russell's passing ability has also been brought into play, so that the Lakers' 5 players on the court are very comfortable, and the results will naturally be greatly improved.
The Lakers' recent upturn suggests that the team should build a victory around Davis, and James should let Davis be the boss so that the Lakers can secure a playoff spot and do well.
James is 39 years old and his athleticism is also declining, and if he holds the ball too much, it will hurt the team, and Davis now has a 26 ball possession rate2% 33rd in the league, James has 28 ball possession4% 20th in the league, the Lakers can only make the team's offense play smoother by reducing James' ball possession, so the measure of the Lakers' performance is the ball possession rate, Davis's high ball possession rate Lakers results are good, James has a high ball possession rate, the Lakers' results are poor, and by the end of the season, Davis's ball possession rate may rise to 28%, James' ball possession rate will drop to 26%, and the Lakers' winning rate will be higher at that time.
James said that he wanted Davis to be the boss but he didn't execute it, and now he should really choose to let go, only James can make the Lakers play well if he is a second-in-command who is indisputable, I'm sorry James, Davis is the boss of the Lakers, he can lead the Lakers to achieve good results, the era of James has passed, and now Davis wants to lead the Lakers to open up a new era.
