41 points! 40 points! Renewed a three-year contract with the Lakers, but fortunately he didn't trade you for Durant in the first place

The Christmas war has come to an end, the Lakers, Suns and Warriors, the three flow teams, have all lost, and Janduku is inaccurate, which is indeed unsatisfactory. This may be the result that the NBA league wants to see, because the league has its own "star-making plan", Xiao Hua needs to create some young people to maintain the popularity of the NBA, and for now, there is no star from a beautiful country who can inherit the mantle of Zhan Duku, and the strength is not enough. On the contrary, it is European superstars such as Jokic, Doncic and Antetokounmpo who hold up the face of the NBA. That said, if Doncic were a player of the Pretty Nation nationality, then he would be portrayed as a character who was even better than Cavalier Jane.

We've all watched the Men's Basketball World Cup, and the U.S. loses on the inside, and if Anthony Davis is there, it will definitely be different. Davis is in his prime, how good is he this season?

Davis is averaging 24.9 points, 12.4 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 2.5 blocks and 1.1 steals per game while shooting 54.7 percent from the field.

Personally, I think one of Davis's best things is that he's too good off the ball, and that's where he has the biggest gap with Jokic and Embiid. He doesn't possess the ball, he can let the Larry combination and James hold the ball, and he is more about blocking and dismantling, running without the ball and relaying in the air, and of course, singles are indispensable. Davis' mid-range jumper is very accurate, whether it is a ball-holding or catch-and-shoot shot, his strong offensive ability under the basket is outstanding, he can grab 3.4 offensive rebounds per game, and is now the NBA rebounding leader. In addition, Davis has interior skills, and it is said that Phil Handy often takes him to practice Xi interior footwork, and his interior offense is also very soft.

On the defensive end, Davis really can do anything. The Lakers are now seventh in the league in defensive efficiency, and in fact they are in the top three in the league, all thanks to Davis. As long as he's on the inside, no one dares to go to the basket against him, unless you're Jokic and Embiid. However, Davis is not only strong at protecting the basket, but his outside sweeping ability is also top-notch, if you give him a standing Howard, he can save your opponent's outside shooter shooting percentage by 10%. Larry and James are often passed by opponents, but Davis can make up for this with his own defense, and if Russell is replaced by Irving, then I believe the Lakers will definitely be in the top two in terms of efficiency. All in all, Davis has no shortcomings on the defensive end, not to mention his philosophy of "it's okay to attack if you can't score, but you can't stop it".

Davis signed a three-year, $1.7-a-1 max contract with the Lakers in the offseason, which also indicates that Davis may end his life with the Lakers. After all, he will be 31 years old now, and he will be 34 years old when this contract ends. At that time, I expect his average data per game to be 20+10+3+2+1, and he is still a very good interior player, but he may play in the No. 4 position, and his body does not allow him to play center.

This season, Davis has a very strong ability to play tough battles. He scored 41 points against the Pacers, and he also scored 40 points against the Celtics in the Christmas game, and if he can do the same in the playoffs, the Lakers still have a relatively high probability of winning the championship.

I don't know if you remember? Last season, when James broke Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's scoring record, Davis was sullen and not happy at all that James broke the record. Because he was affected by trade rumors, it was said that Pelinka wanted to trade Durant around him at that time, so Davis must not be happy. Fortunately, it was just a rumor at the time, and James, Ham and Pelinka were the first to stand up for him. If Durant is traded, it may not be as good as it is now, after all, the Lakers reached the Western Conference Finals last season, and the Lakers are also improving steadily this season.

Davis is the defensive core of the Lakers, and if Durant is traded, the defensive system will be fragmented, I am not saying that Durant is worse than him, but Davis, as a veteran of the Lakers, is more suitable for the Lakers!
