Since James was injured, Davis has become the absolute core and leader of the Lakers, and his performance has not disappointed. In the last three games, Davis has played superstar performances, helping the team on both offensive and defensive ends. The data shows that in the past three games, Davis has averaged 29.3 points per game, in addition to 2.7 blocks, playing an offensive and defensive performance in the game, and the overall personal shooting rate is as high as 57.6%. Although the Lakers' recent record is not ideal, the good news for the team and fans is that the Davis we are familiar with is finally back.
I believe everyone knows that Davis's performance at the beginning of the season was very sluggish, although there have been a few good games, but most of the time, Davis's performance has been disappointing. On the field, he could not defend the opponent's inside line, and on the offensive end, he also had difficulty relying on his personal ability to complete the end, played hard enough, and had a low sense of presence in the game, unable to stand up to help the team at key moments. Overall, Davis at the start of the season was disappointing and didn't play the performance expected by the outside world.
And after missing dozens of games after an injury, Davis also made a comeback, and in the game against the Nets, Davis found a little bit of feeling and did not play his full strength. And in the last three games against Philadelphia, the Hawks and the Trail Blazers, Davis has shown great personal strength. Against Philadelphia, Davis blasted down 31 points, 12 rebounds and 4 blocks to beat Embiid. Against the Hawks, Davis also had 27 points, five rebounds and four assists.
In this game against the Blazers, Davis once again ushered in an outbreak, he handed over 30 points, 15 rebounds and 3 blocks, and in the final quarter, he personally got 11 points and 8 rebounds, and at key moments, he hit free throws in succession to help the team seal the victory. It can be said that after James's injury, Davis carried the banner of the team's progress, and in the game he was the most trustworthy offensive and defensive strong point of the team, and was the absolute core of the team.
In the past three games, Davis's state is significantly better than before, and now he plays harder and is not afraid of physical confrontation, whether it is a low single, a mid-range shot, or a dunk under the basket, he has performed very well, and can crush the opponent's interior players with his personal ability to play an efficient offensive performance. On the defensive end, Davis is also better focused than at the beginning of the season, his co-defense and single defense quality is very high, and the number of individual blocks and steals is also large. It is undeniable that Davis has found the state of playing in the past at this stage, and has a strong dominance at both ends of the attack and defense.
Although the current situation of the Lakers is not ideal, for fans and teams, the most gratifying thing is that the familiar Davis has finally returned, and his strong return has also allowed the team to have a very bright future. Then if James can return as soon as possible, then the combination of James, Davis and Westbrook will gradually get back on track, they are expected to play the performance expected by the outside world, and if the big three can establish a certain chemical reaction, then it will not be difficult for them to enter the playoffs this season, and the team is expected to move towards the goal of championship again.
