On April 4, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season continued. In today's Western Focus battle, the Lakers welcomed the Nuggets challenge at home. After 48 minutes of fierce competition, the Lakers finally lost to the Nuggets 118:129, suffering the longest 6 consecutive losses of the season!
In today's game, Davis ushered in his second game after his comeback. In an interview after the game, Lakers coachEs vogel and Westbrook both said Davis had not recovered to 100 percent. Davis played 35 minutes today, shooting 11-of-24 and 6-of-6 from the free throw line, totaling 28 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks. However, in the final quarter of the game, Davis was obviously affected by injury, only 6 shots 1, which also made the Lakers not withstand the Nuggets' offense.
After the game, Davis spoke about injuries, saying: "My midfoot injury hurt from the beginning to the end and it has been bothering me. The medical team told me that playing now doesn't make the injury worse. Now all I care about is how I'm physically, and as long as it doesn't feel too uncomfortable, I'll play. Today is a game we can't afford to lose, and we can only save hope if we win, so I have to choose to play. ”
Davis then posed a hypothetical question, saying: "If we stay healthy all season, what will happen to us?" Davis mentioned that he has only played 39 games, James has played 56 games, and Nunn has not played one game this season due to injury, which he believes is the reason for their poor record this season.
Commenting on the team's prospects, Davis said: "The whole world wants to see us lose, but we are a team that will fight until the end. The next game is the Suns, and it's a win that must be won at Phoenix! ”
It is worth mentioning that after the last loss to the Pelicans, Davis said they were going to end with a 5-0 loss, but they didn't do it today. This time Davis once again issued a must-win order, and it is not known whether the Lakers can do it.
