In the 73-year history of the nba, the Los Angeles Lakers have won a total of 16 championships (second only to the 17 of the old rival Celtics), if you only count the 1976 NBA and aba merger, it is the undisputed first team.

The Lakers' winning tradition has always been to have at least one superstar on the inside and outside, as far as George McCann and Jim Pollard in Minneapolis, and as recently as the "ok" combination of the early 2000s that scolded each other but beat up the entire league, not to mention the superstar combination of "Magic - Skymark" and "Chamberlain - West" in the middle.

Many historical stars worked together to create the Purple and Jin Dynasty

If James came to the Lakers the first year let Los Angeles once again become the focus of the nba and the world, then the arrival of Davis is really let the Lakers have the confidence to impact the championship. Although James was injured in the 18-19 season, he also took Ingram, Ball brother and other small children to play the fourth in the West, and even overturned the "five-star Warriors" full of members in the "Christmas War". But McGee and Chandler, 37, are simply not up to the standard of a champion inside line. And lebron James in the Lakers after a hard year, also got his own "Lakers superstar partner" - Anthony Davis.

"Eyebrows" is undoubtedly the most suitable superstar partner for James' career

Because in this era of all-in-one running and three-point shooting, the scarcity of an excellent interior line still exceeds that of your outside line, and Davis is the ace inside line most suitable for this era.

First, the offensive end - the historical level of scoring terminator

As a high school height of less than 1.9m, a year of crazy growth of 23cm Kirin son, the original play guard Anthony Davis has a rare interior players of technical ability and flexible feel. Coupled with his height of 2.08 meters and a fearsome arm span of 2.27 meters, he can complete the misalignment when facing inside or outside players.

The powerful attack in the 3-second zone, or the mid-distance shot after the pick-and-roll cut, is quite a sure way for him to score. The three-threat breakthrough in the face frame attack, and the movement of one step is even better.

The shooting hot area shows that the three-second area is still the most comfortable scoring area for "thick eyebrows", but the large offensive range allows him to flexibly choose the way to end. He has a beautiful small shot, has a very smooth and stable attack on the basket, covers the offensive range inside and outside the three-point line, smart position, flexible movement, excellent bounce, steady catch, high hand, feel good... In a word -- the perfect terminator. Whether facing the "can 3 can 4" trumpet front line that is flooded in the league today, or facing the interior giant in general Gobert, there are enough options in the Arsenal to kill opponents.

Second, the defensive end - covering the penalty area of the half-court "big spider"

Compared with Davis' gorgeous performance on the offensive end, his dominance on the defensive end may be the ultimate password that truly makes him an nba historical level of interior star.
Three-time blocker king, career average of 2.4 blocks per game, 1.4 steals, this is already a number to reach the best defensive team level, but not his defense is really scary.

As an interior player in the current era, under the premise of having basic skills such as frame protection, card positioning, and rebound, defensive range and moving speed have become the key to standing on the court at the decisive moment and relying on defense to change the game. This is also the basis of the "thick eyebrows" supporting the entire Lakers defensive system.

The current league is still like Whiteside, DeAndre Jordan such blocking masters exist, but like their offensive means, once they leave the restricted area, their influence is exponentially declining, the rules on the perimeter player's repeated protection and the popularity of unlimited defensive change, so that the perimeter change has become one of the essential skills of the interior player.

The combination of perimeter mobility and spiderlike long arms makes "bushy eyebrows" a nightmare for perimeter players

And Anthony Davis in this regard can be called the model of the league's interior line, the average interference shot 12.7 times (the league's 7th), the defensive perimeter interference three points reached a terrible 4.7 times! (2nd in the league), 38 percent of matchup defense (3rd in the league), truly dominating the defense all over the court! And Davis himself said that's how he likes to "change the game."

"Eyebrows" is currently a rare "gate" in the league with both internal and external defensive influence

Three, come to Angel City and fly

As the first pick of the 2012 draft, from the day he joined the league, he has been able to contribute to match his value and expectations. Career did not start as a member of the "dream ten" won the London Olympic Games championship, the second year was elected to the All-Star, the third year into the league, career per value ranked third in nba history (the first two are Jordan, James), has been considered to be the existence of will rule the league, but also at the same time have Rondo, Cousins, Holiday such strong aid, But why does it take until you join the lake to truly become the core of a team that is competing for the championship?

"Thick eyebrows" in the Pelican Wan Fu Mo open, the team has always lacked enough competitiveness, he also got the "empty cut group master" elegant number

Because there are two questions that have been bothering this genius:

Compared with the strong finishing ability, the "thick eyebrows" response ability is relatively inferior, especially the lack of strong scoring means (kill move) when holding the ball.

Have seen his game can feel, "eyebrows" efficient scoring, basically from the offensive and defensive transition, inside and out of position attack - that is, no ball attack. At the same time, in his first six seasons, he had a high of 2.3 assists per year, until last season, increased to 3.9 assists per game, 3.1 this season.

As the absolute core of the attack, he is stronger without the ball than holding the ball, and the ability to organize and respond is slightly weak, so there should be a strong organizer around him to transport shells. In the 2017-18 season, for example, the regular season in the absence of Cousins injured, played 28.7 points, 11.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 2.6 blocks of "horrible data." The first round of the playoffs led the Pelicans to go down, 4-0 to kill the Blazers, "thick eyebrows" series averaged 33 points, 12 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals and 3 blocks to dominate both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, which is a career representative, but the semifinals met the "four-star warriors" who were defeated. Because that year the team had Rajon Rondo running the show (10.3 points, 7.6 rebounds and 12.6 assists per game in the playoffs!).

With the support of top organizers, the "thick eyebrows" can play a real strength. And James is the best playmaker in the league right now. The league-leading 10.8 assists per game is just an indication, as is the league-leading 5.5 3-pointers per assist. And James season so far assists the eyebrows 162 times, not only the league season single assists the most line (second Lila de Whiteside 120 times), but also James career season assists a single teammate record.

What kind of interior partners do James most like, timely defense (" Eyebrows "history of the top), have the ability to protect the frame (" Eyebrows" three-time block king), have the range can open up the space (" Eyebrows "range covers the half court), and preferably efficient" pie "ability (" Eyebrows" epic level of no-ball finishing skills), Compared with Bosh, Love in order to adapt to James to change the way of playing more and more outside, the technical characteristics of the eyebrows themselves are perfect for James at this age. It is not difficult to understand why this season, when the number of shots is reduced and the shooting distance is increased, the per value can remain top, and the shooting efficiency and true percentage are on the career high.

The reduction of shots, the improvement of efficiency, "thick eyebrows" playing comfortable basketball around James. Although he has the world's top changing and coverage ability, but the outside player from his restricted area melee ability is not top. "Eyebrows" career personal defensive data has been very good, but even in his three seasons with the block shot king, the Pelicans have two seasons ranked in the league's bottom 10 defense, only 14-15 season lost 98.6 points per game in the league's eighth, because at that time behind the Eyebrows have just played in the Rockets worth of Asik.

Take this season as an example, although his 2.4 blocks per game is still very beautiful, but his three-second zone limit opponent shooting percentage is 61%, while the other interior gates are: Embiid 52%, Gobert 52%, Whiteside 49%, Turner 53%, Capela 59%, Lopez 50%. In a word, he is a big spider that can lay a wide net inside the three-point line, but not a fixed sea needle in the penalty area.

When facing an inside line like Zion, Bushy Eyebrows need an "enforcer" like McKee to share the pressure. Therefore, this is why the franchise is advocating that the center play "big four small", but the Lakers want to enter a center to sit inside the line, so that the eyebrows to play more advantageous power forward reasons.

So this season, the Lakers in the "thick eyebrows" plus McGee, Howard, the three inner line God tower together under the defense, to the league set up a "purple and gold no-fly zone", the interior scoring and blocked shots are ranked first, but also let the Lakers have a strong impact on the championship.

Howard's joining let "thick eyebrows" behind always have an inside iron tower for his melee card, to make up for his last point of deficiency. What's interesting is that while "Bushy Eyebrows" played the best defense of his career, he had the fewest defensive rebounds since his rookie year. McGee, on the other hand, had a career-high 18.8 percent rebounding rate, and Howard had a second spring.

This is because "thick eyebrows" know that someone behind the card melee grab board live package, he can concentrate on walking to cover the entire three-point line up and down, rotation. So this season, he interfered with the shot 13 times per game, limiting the opponent's shooting percentage below 38%, the Lakers will be the entire inside and outside of the cast iron wall.

He came to the nba with talent, after seven years of grinding finally joined the Angel City, took over the "purple and gold Dynasty" legendary center spirit torch; He is the perfect post player for this era, with the size, skill and talent that all basketball players envy. He let the 35-year-old king further in the new journey, so that the once declining magnates once again stand at the apex of the alliance; As a top player with high expectations from everyone, he deserves to make the strongest impact on the O 'Brien Cup at the golden age of 27.

"Bushy Eyebrows" Anthony Davis, please realize the dream of every Lakers fan after ten years - "Lakers championship"
