On February 14, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and the Lakers easily defeated the Pistons 125-111 on their home court and won two in a row. After winning this game, the Lakers' record improved to 29-26, and they remain in 9th place in the West, winning 5 of the last 6 games, and are in good form. Facing the Pistons, the Eastern Conference team, the Lakers did not give their opponents any chance from the beginning, maintained a double-digit lead, and finally won the victory. So who was the player who played the biggest role in the Lakers' win? Maybe the numbers can give us some answers.
Anthony Davis, there is nothing to say, thick eyebrows are the ace of the Lakers' restricted area, and he single-handedly established the Lakers' no-fly zone, when he stands under the basket, even if he guards the retreat, the Pistons attack the position inside the free throw line, their shots are not confident enough, and they repeatedly hit the iron. And once you get to the basket, the thick eyebrows will let you know what DPOY's defensive level is. In terms of data, today's thick eyebrows shot 6 of 12, 1 of 3 three-pointers, 7 of 7 free throws, and personally cut 20 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists, 6 blocks and 1 turnover, with a plus/minus of +12 on the court.
LeBron James, Lao Zhan's attitude today is not to be said, especially when the Lakers opened up the point difference, Lao Zhan is full of vitality on the defensive end, and he seems to be tired of it, constantly completing the defense, and then running down the fast break with the whole team. Today he shot 9 of 15, 3 of 6 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and personally cut down 25 points, 1 rebound and 8 assists.
D'Angelo Russell, Russell's overall condition during this period is very good, and in the face of weak teams, his play is the key to whether the Lakers can win easily. Russell's projection state is still very good today, he shot 8 of 18, 4 of 9 three-pointers, and easily cut 21 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 block and 3 turnovers.
Austin Reaves, Xiaoli's performance today was decent, in terms of efficiency, he shot 3 of 9, 2 of 5 three-pointers, and scored 15 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal, 1 block and 2 turnovers. However, in terms of positive and negative values, Xiaoli's +25 plus/minus value on the field is the highest in the game, which is beyond people's reach, he can always appear in the right position and make the right decisions, no wonder Lao Zhan has always wanted to play with Xiaoli.
Hachimura, in the starting position, Hachimura's rhythm and condition are getting better and better, he gradually adapts to the confrontation, and knows what his role on the field is. It's the same today, Hachimura is more likely to appear in the inside position, and when the ball is in his hands, he decisively attacks the opponent's inside, which is very efficient. In terms of statistics, Hachimura shot 7-of-10 from the field and 0-of-2 from three-point range today, and he personally got 15 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists. The current Hachimura is full of aggression, and he will no longer have a sense of presence on the field because of his poor hand, and his value is reflected.
Spencer Dinwiddie, Dinwiddie is the focus of Lakers fans today, this is his debut after joining the Lakers, although the data is not particularly impressive, but Dinwiddie's debut can also be called perfect. In terms of efficiency, Dinwiddie shot 2 of 6, 1 of 5 three-pointers, and only got 6 points and 2 rebounds, but he delivered 7 assists and 2 steals, and the Lakers positioned him as a backup ball handler, organizer, and the hand will come back sooner or later, at least Dinwiddie showed his value this time, and the price of $1.5 million, the Lakers can't afford to lose.
Other role players like Wood, Hayes, and Prince also performed decently, completed their tasks, and ensured that the Lakers' lead was not eroded in the transition period, as long as the bench lineup did this, the Lakers' current roster depth is still guaranteed.
