LeBron James encore absent, Anthony Davis has clearly gone up a notch over the past week. Against Brooklynthen Detroit, and finally San Antonio, the interior of the Lakers has always crushed its opponents with, each time, at least 30 points and 15 rebounds to its counter.
Only two Lakers players had compiled such numbers in three straight games before him: Elgin Baylor and Shaquille O’Neal. He therefore runs at 35 points (61% success) and 17.3 rebounds on average for three matches!
” He is incredible “notes and rejoices Darvin Ham for ESPN. “He is in a fabulous rhythm. »
From the start of the game once morest the Texans, the former Pelicans imposed his power, with 18 points and 5 rebounds in the first quarter. He will finish with 30 points at 12/19 in shooting, 18 rebounds and 3 steals.
“One must, as best as possible, fill the void left by the other when there is an absentee”comments Anthony Davis, speaking of LeBron James, who has not played for almost two weeks. “LeBron told me I was playing like I used to, so I’m trying to get back into the groove. »
At the alley-oop, near the circle or at mid-range, the 2020 champion has been shining in all areas lately. At the best time since “King James” is obviously not there, but above all because the Californians are going to fly away for 16 away matches on their next 22 outings!
And despite three consecutive successes, which relieve following a failed start to the season, Los Angeles is still 14th in the West.
“Three wins in a row is good. Everyone’s confidence is very high, but not too high either,” says Anthony Davis. “We have to maintain our good momentum and continue. We are going to Phoenix to start a road trip which will be an excellent test for us. We must start these moves with a victory. »
