This season's Los Angeles Lakers, from the opening five consecutive losses, 2-10, and a probability of entering the playoffs of only 0.2%, to finally finish the regular season seventh in the West, the play-off Timberwolves, and the Memphis Grizzlies in the first round, and now lead the defending champion Golden State Warriors 3-1 in the Western Conference semifinals.
The team's interior pillar "thick eyebrows" Anthony Davis is credited.
He averaged 25.9 points, 12.5 boards, 1.1 steals and 2.5 blocks per game in the regular season, and as long as he can play, he is the core of the team's offensive and defensive ends.
So far in the playoffs, he is averaging 21.4 points, 14.0 boards, 1.5 steals and 3.7 blocks per game, whether against Jalen Jackson, the best defender of the season, or against the championship interior combination of Dream & Looney.
In the just-concluded Lakers Vs Warriors G4, he not only scored 23 points, 15 boards and 3 steals, but also defended Stephen Curry's two "desperate shots" in the final moments, which finally helped the Lakers win the key game 104-101.
And how focused is Bushy Eyebrow for this year's playoffs?
TNT star Chris Hayes revealed that in response to the statement that Thick Eyebrows said that social media would be closed during the playoffs, he deliberately went to the Lakers locker room after the G4 game for verification, and even checked Thick Eyebrow's mobile phone.
And Thick Eyebrows has even temporarily deleted all his social media software!
As Lakers boss LeBron James said:
"Don't care about social media during the playoffs, if you win, they'll blow you into gods, and if you lose, you'll be sprayed to death, all we have to do is block."
As one of the team's dual leaders, Thick Eyebrows has taken the lead in leading by example, and it's no wonder that this year's Lakers have been rejuvenated in the playoffs and playing better and better.
All their focus and energy is put into the game!
