Chapter 520 Davis Returns
In just one week, the Los Angeles government has basically completed the block cleaning and shop bidding. Moreover, the infrastructure and work teams are already in place, and the old Chinatown can be remodeled at any time.
Ge Feng drove specially this day, and took Xia Shilan to Old Chinatown for a stroll.
In the past, Ge Feng and Xia Shilan would definitely not come to Chinatown in Los Angeles.
Because the Chinatown here was once synonymous with mess.
However, from now on, Chinatown in Los Angeles is entirely possible to develop into a landmark area as famous as Hollywood.
Just when Chinatown started to rebuild, Nong Mei finally recovered from his injury and returned to the Lakers.
The Lakers coaching team finally finalized the team rotation tactics with Ge Feng + Bo Yang as the core.
To be precise, the Lakers' coaching team strengthened their confidence in the game against the Pelicans before the Lakers All-Star Game and decided to launch reforms for the Lakers in advance.
After the change, the Lakers once won 6 consecutive victories in the absence of Davis, and they were in the limelight for a while.
Among them, Schroeder averaged 6 points per game in the absence of Davis in these 19.1 games, becoming the team's highest scoring player after Ge Feng.
Schroder finally played a little bit like the Big Three of the Lakers. Now what the Lakers are waiting for is the return of Davis.
Time to March.
You have to accept that the NBA is the best basketball league in the world.
Any player's change, any team's tactical change, will be found by other teams in the shortest possible time.
Maybe other players can't completely prevent the Lakers from dying, but limiting the power of the Lakers by 30%-70% is still easy to catch.
As for how far it can be limited, it still depends on the specific performance of the players.
The Lakers ushered in a two-game losing streak after six consecutive victories.
These two defeats were lost against the Clippers and Nuggets respectively.
The way the Clippers cracked the Lakers was very simple. They seized Schroder's long-distance instability and kept compressing the defensive line, forcing McGee and Howard, who had average offensive capabilities, not to score, thus putting huge shooting pressure on Schroder.
The Nuggets are more direct, playing against the Lakers directly.
The two teams did not guard against each other. As a result, after the game was over, the Nuggets narrowly beat the Lakers 148 to 144. While the Lakers suffered a two-game losing streak, they also created the highest points scored by the two teams during regular time in the 2021 season.
The Lakers, who have won six consecutive victories, have just entered the top eight in the Western Conference, but because of two consecutive losses, they once again fell to ninth in the Western Conference.
Fans began to worry about the Lakers again.
If the defending champion can't even make the playoffs in the new season, it would be ridiculous.
Fortunately, at this time, Davis returned.
The return of Davis immediately let the world see the horror of such a Lakers team.
When Davis made up for the problem of weak offensive power inside, the pressure on Schroeder, Bo Yang, and Ge Feng on the outside dropped sharply.
Moreover, when Davis was injured, he had been practicing three-pointers.
Ge Feng saw this with his own eyes.
Davis's three-point shooting has improved again. His current three-point shooting ability is second only to Ge Feng and Bo Yang in the team.
When Davis's three-pointers become more and more accurate, it means that Schroeder can relax and do what he likes most.
With the return of the Big Three, the rest of the league immediately fell into dire straits.
Facing the Spurs game, Ge Feng scored a game-high 31 points. In addition, Ge Feng also had 10 assists.
After changing to the No. 3 position where the offensive team is integrated, Ge Feng basically maintained his double-double average per game.
Schroder scored 24 points, 2 assists and 3 rebounds in this game, and one of the 3 rebounds was in the last quarter, killing the game's offensive rebounds, very brave.
Davis returned from injury, and his state has not yet been fully utilized, but he also scored a double-double of 22 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists.
After winning the Spurs, the Lakers finally returned to the top eight in the Western Conference and qualified for the playoffs.
In this game, in addition to the great power of the Big Three, McGee, who started the game, also contributed 4 blocks. His defensive bravery was no less than his peak appearance.
And Bojan, he made 4 of 4 three-pointers in this game, shot through the Spurs' team basketball with a 100% shooting rate, and made Popovich scold his mother angrily, and finally scored 12 points.
In the first game of Davis' comeback, the Lakers played too many different wonderful moments.
Fans who were worried that the Lakers were just a flash in the pan can see the fundamental changes that have taken place on both offensive and defensive ends of the Lakers.
After the game against the Spurs, the Lakers will have to turn around overnight and fly to the home court of the Grizzlies.
Davis was in a great mood after his comeback, and couldn't wait to invite all his teammates to celebrate wildly.
But the celebration should be placed after the game against the Grizzlies, because after the Grizzlies, the Lakers will have three days to rest.
Ge Feng agreed to Davis' invitation this time, because Ge Feng could feel that Davis' reply was completely relieved and decided to play for the Lakers for a long time.
The Lakers' new system allows Davis to play more comfortably.
Even if Davis had the idea of leaving the Lakers with LeBron, at least now, Davis is reluctant to leave.
Davis' second game after his return was an away game against the Grizzlies.
As the dark horse of the new season, before getting Morant, the Black Bear once packaged and sold the team's stars in preparation for a bad performance.
Unexpectedly, the Grizzlies in the new season once locked in the second place in the Western Conference, making fans all over the world remember this young man named Morant.
Now, as the schedule gets later and later, many teams have almost run in, and the Grizzlies' record has naturally dropped a notch.
The flaws of the Grizzlies rookie are still showing.
Young players such as Morant, Clark, and Jackson lack experience and are prone to impulsiveness at critical moments, which caused the Grizzlies to suffer a lot of defeats.
The Grizzlies' current record has slipped to fourth in the West.
Although the ranking has declined, the Grizzlies have always been famous in the NBA for their "black and white bear" defense.
The Grizzlies' defense has never been a problem, and the Lakers' facing the Grizzlies is the best test of the new tactics.
As expected, the Lakers' three-pointer failed due to the Grizzlies' aggressive scrambling outside and the oppressive feeling of the two bears on the inside.
Bo Yang made 6 of 1 three-pointers this time, and Davis made 5 of 2 three-pointers. The Lakers' scoring in this game was almost all based on two points.
Fortunately, in this game, Ge Feng stole Morant twice in a 1V1 single defense, which made Morant realize what "Ge Feng's reaction speed" is.
Morant suffered a big loss in front of Ge Feng, and the young Morant's follow-up performance was a bit confusing.
At the last moment, Morant missed consecutive shots.
After successfully limiting Bojan and Davis, the Grizzlies finally regretted losing.
