Entering the 2022-23 season, Anthony Davis averaged 26.3 points, 12.8 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game. As a power forward, Anthony Davis can shoot inside and outside, and although his three-point shooting ability this season is not as good as the previous two seasons, Anthony Davis still shows his excellent interior dominance.
Against the Spurs, Anthony Davis shot 10-of-13 from the field, scoring 25 points, 15 rebounds and 4 assists. One person dominates the inside line, and no one can beat it. Such an inside performance also allowed the Los Angeles Lakers to win 105-94. In the face of Anthony Davis' recent performance, even Lakers leader LeBron James is full of praise, believing that Anthony Davis' performance in these games proves that he is the best player in the world.
In the absence of LeBron James, Anthony Davis carried the inside offensive and defensive one on his shoulders. In the past four games, Anthony Davis has posted 37 points, 18 rebounds and 2 assists, 38 points, 16 rebounds and 4 blocks, 30 points, 18 rebounds, 3 steals, 37 points, 21 rebounds, 5 steals and 5 blocks. In four games, Anthony Davis averaged 35.5 points, 18.3 rebounds, 2.3 steals and 2.5 blocks per game, which is definitely an epic performance, and if Anthony Davis can continue this performance throughout the season, there will undoubtedly be many fan media who think Anthony Davis is the strongest in the active world.
When entering the 2022-23 season, LeBron James has been emphasizing that the team's main offensive scorer will be Anthony Davis, and the team needs Anthony Davis to stand up on the offensive end, but after Anthony Davis enters the new season, what awaits Anthony Davis is a variety of strict defenses, which makes it a little difficult for Anthony Davis to connect the ball.
We all know that LeBron James is the best player on the team, but Anthony Davis is now a bigger offensive threat than LeBron James, and the team can only expect Anthony Davis to play dominance if it wants to enter the playoffs. However, Anthony Davis also said that the Lakers can play well without LeBron James. But LeBron James praised Anthony Davis after the game against the Spurs, believing that Anthony Davis' performances in the past few games were the best player in the league.
"During my absence, my teammates played some really good basketball. I think AD has been the league's best player in the last four or five games, because of his stats and his contributions on both ends of the floor. ”
Now that LeBron James is back, he has also played an all-round performance on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends. LeBron James played 33 minutes against the Spurs, shooting 8-of-17 from the field, contributing 21 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. We can see that LeBron James rarely holds the ball in this game, and he puts the ball at the disposal of Schroeder.
