In the past two games against the Cavaliers and Rockets, the Lakers have won backgammon. After the record reached 4 wins and 3 losses, the ranking also rose to sixth place in the West.
In both games, Westbrook averaged a quasi-triple-double of 19.5 points, 7.0 rebounds and 7.0 assists per game. The data is still so gorgeous, but what is even more gratifying is the change on the field.
I can't play the ball, and I won't easily give up on the defender in order to grab the rebound in the backcourt. Such a small number of wei is obviously greater than the help of the Lakers with three doubles.
In addition to Wei Shao, Anthony's changes are not small.
Anthony averaged 13 shots per game in both games, of which 58.3% came from no-ball, or 7.6 per game.
Of those 7.6 no-ball shots, 7.0 were from outside the three-point line. That is to say, Anthony's no-ball basically comes from the three-point line outside the no-ball run after receiving the ball and shooting.
In terms of efficiency, it is 7.0 shots and 5.0, shooting a high of 71.4%.
Let's not talk about how efficient Anthony's three-pointer is, let's just talk about the change in the way of attack.
In the preseason and even the first three games of the regular season, Anthony still has more than half of the attacking percentage with the ball. From the game point of view, it is either a face frame single or a low back play.
However, from the fourth game, Anthony began to increase the percentage of shots without the ball. Of course, the reason for changing the way of attack is not that the ability has decreased, but only because of the tactical needs of the team.
In fact, so far this season, Anthony can score 1.31 points per game in a singles, compared to Durant's 1.32 points is almost a draw.
It is precisely because of the great change in the way of attack that Anthony now gives people the feeling of Lei Allen in the Heat. I mean, it's more of a no-ball three-pointer, and it's extremely efficient and can save the team in key moments.
That is to say, Anthony has quietly completed the transformation from Durant to Ray Allen. So, what kind of player is Anthony, who is already 37 years old?
In my opinion, first of all, as the data listed, it still has a good singles ability. Just considering age, this physically demanding offensive method is no longer commonly used.
Secondly, there is a very good ability to catch the ball and shoot strongly after running without the ball, as well as the three-point ability to conform to the development trend of today's NBA.
Combining the two, Anthony still deserves the reputation of attacking kaleidoscope. It's just that it's a little different from the peak, and now it's limited to the impact of physical strength, which can only be limited to about 15 minutes, but this is also a great help for the Lakers.
