Lakers LeBron James

The NBA regular season is in full swing, and the Lakers' performance this season is eye-catching. Superstar LeBron James has not been able to play this season due to injury. According to head coach Redick’s interview remarks: James will train with the South Bay Lakers, a team affiliated with the G League Lakers. This also indicates that James is not far away from returning from injury. As a giant in the NBA, the Purple and Gold are still committed to competing for the NBA championship this season.

The dual-core Lakers created the first miracle in NBA history! Doncic's perfect transformation, Reeves' 5 data reached a new high, and James finally reached the championship!

During James' injury, the Lakers' backcourt duo of Luka Doncic and Reeves led the team to a record of 8 wins and 3 losses. The Purple and Gold are currently ranked fourth in the Western Conference, only 0.5 games behind the second-place Spurs. This also means that the Lakers have the opportunity to launch a strong challenge to the second place in the Western Conference. With James unable to play this season, it is commendable that the Purple and Gold Army still maintains such a strong immediate combat capability. After all, the Western Division is as powerful as a forest.

Doncic and Reeves

US media Basketball Forever posted a set of data about the Lakers. According to statistics, when Reeves and Doncic are on the same court this season, the Lakers' offensive efficiency reaches 124.6, ranking first in NBA history. This also means that the Purple and Gold Army’s dual-core Doncic and Reeves achieved the first miracle in NBA history.

Doncic and Reeves set the first miracle in NBA history

It is worth mentioning that both Doncic and Reeves have made great progress this season, and the chemical reaction between the two continues to escalate. Doncic averaged 37.1 points, 9.4 rebounds, 9.1 assists and 1.7 steals per game this season, shooting 49.1% from the field, 32.1% from three-point range, and 79.3% from free throws. Doncic's points, rebounds and free throw percentage per game are all career highs. In addition, Doncic's assists, steals, and field goal percentage are career highs.

What needs attention is that Doncic’s penalty area score ranks 10th in the league, only lower than Antetokounmpo, Jokic, Zubac and other inside players. Moreover, the top 10 defenders in the penalty area are Alexander, Harks, Cunningham and Doncic. Resolutely attacking the inside makes Doncic's scoring on the offensive end more stable. In addition, Doncic has also made great progress on the defensive end. As a ball-carrying core, Doncic has evolved into an all-around superstar who is both offensive and defensive. Doncic, who has been criticized on the defensive end before, lost weight during the offseason and achieved great success. Doncic, who moves faster and is more agile on the court, has become more active and efficient on the defensive end. Doncic, who averages a triple-double per game, has achieved a perfect transformation and has become the signature star of the NBA.

Luka Doncic

Reeves averaged 30.3 points, 5.1 rebounds, 9 assists and 1.5 steals per game, and his field goal percentage, three-point field goal percentage and free throw percentage were 48%, 32.4% and 88% respectively. Reeves's five data points per game, including points, rebounds, assists, steals, and free throw percentage, all hit career highs. Reeves has averaged 17.3 points per game in his career, and he has increased his points by 13 points this season. In addition, Reeves' career averages of assists and steals per game have nearly doubled this season.

Reeves has made rapid progress on the offensive end, and his passing ability has also been greatly improved. Being able to take into account both scoring and connecting the team shows Reeves' potential as a ball-carrying core. Reeves' team-leading ability has always been underestimated. It has to be said that Reeves may be one of the best three players currently in the NBA.

Reeves

The dual-core backcourt Doncic and Reeves have both achieved strong success this season, and James finally ushered in the true core of the championship. In addition to the two excellent helpers of Doncic and Reeves, Ayton, Smart, and Rui Hachimura are all perfect puzzle pieces for the Lakers to win the championship.

Ayton averaged 16.5 points and 7.8 rebounds per game. His field goal percentage was 67.5%, ranking fourth in the league and setting a career high. As an inside player with excellent finishing ability, Ayton ranks 11th in the league in second-chance points (3.7). This also means that Ayton is not afraid of physical confrontation on the court. He is already one of the powerful inside players in the league.

Lakers Ayton

Smart averaged 10 points, 2.2 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 2.3 steals per game, shooting 41.8% from the field and 92.3% from the free throw line (ranking 8th in the league). Smart's steals and free throw percentage are both career highs. As the best defensive player in the past, Smart is still improving. Smart can freeze the opponent's scoring arrow. His fighting spirit of never admitting defeat inspires every teammate. Smart's arrival not only strengthened the Lakers' defense, but also improved the Purple and Gold's tough temperament.

Hachimura averaged 16.3 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game. His field goal percentage was 58.6% and his three-point shooting percentage was as high as 52.4%. Hachimura's scoring, field goal percentage, and three-point field goal percentage are all career highs. Moreover, Hachimura's field goal percentage currently ranks 13th in the league, and his long-range shooting percentage ranks fifth in the league. This also means that Hachimura has evolved into an efficient scorer and top pitcher.

Reeves, Hachimura and Smart

What needs to be noted is that the Purple and Gold Army also has powerful players such as Vanderbilt, Vincent, Laravia, Hayes, Kleber, Knecht, Browne and other powerful players. With the continued outbursts of Doncic and Reeves, the Lakers have shown strong immediate combat capabilities. The progress of the three true cores Ayton, Smart, and Rui Hachimura has given the Purple and Gold Army the confidence to compete for the championship.. Once James returns from injury, the Lakers still have huge room for improvement and progress.

James, Doncic and Reeves

The Purple and Gold Army, led by James, Doncic, Reeves, Smart, Ayton, Rui Hachimura and others, will launch a strong challenge for the NBA championship.
