NBA regular season, the Lakers defeated the Wizards 111-88. The Lakers played relatively easily in this game, maintaining the lead in each quarter, allowing them to easily secure the victory.
Three players had excellent performances throughout the game. Anthony Davis dominated with a 22-for-14 shooting performance, scoring 29 points, grabbing 16 rebounds, dishing out 5 assists, making 1 steal, and blocking 4 shots. His offensive and defensive impact was too strong, which is what fans hope for him to continue. However, it remains unclear if he can maintain this level of intensity beyond just dominating weaker opponents. Smith also had a perfect game, going 6-for-8 from the field, including 4-for-6 from three-point range, scoring 16 points. This efficiency is commendable. If he were to start, his performance might be even better. At least someone is passing to him, let's see if he can continue to perform well against stronger teams.
LeBron James continues to control the game. He scored 21 points, grabbed 10 rebounds, dished out 13 assists, and made 2 steals on an 18-for-8 shooting performance. These stats show that he completely energized the team and silenced his critics. Especially in terms of leading the team offensively, he remains unmatched.
Hachimura, Christie, Hayes, and Vincent all had passable performances. Hachimura's biggest issue is getting blocked, which is still a problem of basketball IQ. However, he managed to score 9+5 on 10-for-4 shooting, which is勉强 acceptable. Christie struggled offensively, going 2-for-7 from the field. Fortunately, he is solid defensively, which allows him to maintain his starting position. Hayes managed to stabilize the paint, although he tends to get caught off guard, he went 3-for-3 for 8+3+2 blocks without causing the team to lose points, which is average. Vincent's recent form has been decent, going 1-for-2 for 3+2+3, and he can hold up defensively as well.
Rivers and Knickert both had disastrous performances. Especially Rivers, who couldn't find any rhythm in these two games, going only 4-for-15. Keep in mind that the Wizards' defense isn't particularly strong, yet he still couldn't break out. Additionally, he remains a significant problem defensively, posing a major隐患for the team. Knickert went 1-for-4 in the entire game, maintaining his role as a wild card, unable to consistently perform at a high level.
