On October 27, Beijing time, the Lakers defeated the Spurs 125-121 on the road to achieve two consecutive wins in the new season. In this game, James' absence due to injury has a great impact on the overall strength of the team. But fortunately, the other players of the Lakers played well, among which Wei Shao played his best performance since joining the Lakers, and he got 33 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals in the whole game, and he only made 3 mistakes in this campaign, and his personal performance was shining.
And if you want to talk about the biggest contributor to the team's victory, Davis is not to give in, this campaign he played 42 minutes, 31 shots 15 to get 35 points, 17 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 blocks of the comprehensive data, after James's absence, he became the team's most trusted offensive strong point, he scored a total of 14 points in the final quarter and overtime, and completed the score in the final moment, the Lakers can win, Davis's performance is indispensable.
I believe many fans know that since the beginning of the new season, Davis' state has fluctuated, and his shooting feel on the inside and outside is not very good. In the away game against the Spurs, in the absence of James due to injury, Davis stepped forward, and he showed his dominance in the first quarter of the game, with 10 points, 6 rebounds and 1 block in the single quarter, and the presence of both ends of the attack and defense was very strong. In the second quarter, although Davis did not get many shots, he still efficiently got 6 points, 1 rebound and 1 block.
Entering the second half, when the Spurs began to fight back, Davis stepped forward again, he scored a total of 15 points in the third and fourth quarters, including 10 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block on 4-of-7 shooting in the final quarter, and he was always able to complete the score when the team needed to attack.
It is worth mentioning that in the final moments of the fourth quarter, Davis also had an injury in the process of grabbing rebounds, and after colliding with the defender, Davis fell to the ground in pain and painfully covered his right knee. However, after a simple adjustment, Davis returned to the game.
In overtime, Davis had four points and four rebounds on 2-of-3 shooting, and each offense was crucial for the team. In the end, Davis had 35 points, 17 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 blocks in the whole game, becoming the most shining star of the team, in the absence of James, he took on the responsibility of team leader, still insisted on playing after injury, and helped the team win this game on the road.
Seeing Davis play such an influential performance in the game is very gratifying for Lakers fans, because since the Lakers won the championship, Davis has rarely performed so well in the last season and this season, and in most cases Davis's shooting efficiency is not very high, and the presence of the defensive end is not strong, and the personal data is not good. In the absence of James, Davis finally ushered in an outbreak, re-playing a very influential performance at both ends of the attack and defense, and regained his former record in the game.
For the Lakers, the team needs Davis to have such a good performance in every game, and he is the key to whether the team can impact the championship in the new season. In the follow-up games, if Davis can maintain such a tough performance, then the Lakers will become a better team.
