The Lakers started with a two-game losing streak in the new season, but the Lakers finished seventh in the West with a 3-3 win win over the Cavaliers 113-101.
Anthony has 24 points and five rebounds against the Cavaliers, and this season Anthony can have 15.7 points and 4 rebounds, shooting 48.5% from the field and 50% from three-point range! He has now become the team's most trusted substitute.
Davis had 15 points, 9 rebounds and 3 blocks against the Cavaliers, and the Cavaliers Mobley, Allen and Markkanen started in the three interior lines, and Davis's task on the defensive end was heavier, which also affected his performance on the offensive end.
Davis has averaged 26.2 points and 11.2 rebounds so far this season, and although this statistic is decent, Davis averaged 16 points per game in the penalty area and morant of the Grizzlies is in the first place, which is also the most gratifying part of Davis's season.
Davis' 0.5 three-point shooting percentage in the past six games is only a pitiful 19%, which also shows that Davis is not suitable for shooting three-pointers, so this season Davis has also deliberately reduced his three-point shooting to the inside to find opportunities.
After the Lakers' two-game losing streak, Vossie said davis could go to 15-17 feet to shoot, and he could also go outside the three-point line to shoot, but Davis is a fifth player, and he should go to the inside to shoot.
Perhaps Davis followed Vasie's advice and significantly increased his interior attack in the next four games, preferring to look for opportunities to shoot in the three-second zone, which improved his shooting percentage.
When Davis went deep into the opponent's inner line, the Lakers' outside player opportunities also began to increase, and when Davis was in the inner line, the other side had to shrink the defense, such as the outside defensive force will be reduced, which also allows Anthony and others to have better shooting opportunities.
Davis was obviously more powerful on the inside, and he played very efficiently against Mobley and Allen against the Cavaliers, which also made it difficult for opponents to defend.
Davis reduced the projection of the outside line and went to the inside line to find opportunities to make his offense more powerful, which is also what the Lakers need, if Davis also maintains the current style of play in the future, he is also equivalent to fulfilling his promise to play more inside.
Before Westbrook joined the Lakers, he had exchanges with Davis and James, and Westbrook wanted to reduce his ball-holding attack, James had to play more of a big forward position, and Davis had to play center.
Now Davis is still playing the big forward position, the Lakers let Jordan and Howard take turns to serve as centers to protect their rebounds, which can also reduce Davis's wear and tear, the Lakers are obviously doing this for Davis's good, if the regular season to let Davis play center will increase his chances of injury, but also increase Davis's consumption.
There is Howard in the defense, Jordan helps, davis in the offense will have to go deep into the inside to find opportunities, the Lakers' current formation is only a temporary measure, and in the playoffs, Davis will play center, James will play big forward, so that the Lakers' speed can be raised.
Davis changed his play style to attack more on the inside line, which is also a fulfillment of his promise, Davis can better release his aggression, and when Davis is willing to go to the inside line to block his teammates or do dirty work, the Lakers' offense can also be opened.
For the Lakers, Davis's transformation is the team's most willing to see, when Davis goes deep into the inside line, he can play his full strength, if Davis corrects his playing attitude is also good for the Lakers, Zhan Huang has the strongest Davis' help to help him win his fifth championship.
