As the star of the game LeBron James continues to miss the game due to injury, "Brow" Anthony Davis came back to the first game of limited playing time, not to mention, on the court is also a little out of shape. Even though the role of the players to do their best, but the defending champions of the Los Angeles Lakers is still on the road after a bitter defeat to the Dallas Maverick. After this loss, the Lakers' hopes of finishing the regular season in the top four and getting home-court advantage for the first round of the playoffs are already very slim, and with the Portland Trail Blazers and Dallas Mavericks also eyeing them, the Lakers' goal in the closing stages should be to stay in the Western Conference's top six, and to try to avoid playing a playoff game.

Three of Andre Drummond's stats in this one were the highest of any player who appeared on either team, starting with rebounding, naturally. You should know that only Andre Drummond had double-digit rebounding numbers in this game, and that included six front-court rebounds. You should know that Andre Drummond has been the league's rebounding champion three times so far in his career, Andre Drummond has averaged double-digit rebounding numbers in every year except his rookie season. His arrival made the Lakers' rebounding ability improve dramatically, although this team lost the game, but the purple and gold army grabbed seven more rebounds than the opponent, Andre Drummond can be said to be the most important.

In addition Andre Drummond also sent three blocks, this data is also the highest in the game. Drummond has a strong physical and athletic ability, although the footsteps are a little slower, so that his ability to assist in defense sweep a little less, but whenever Drummond squatting under the basket to protect the rim, for the opponent will have a huge deterrent effect.

When Andre Drummond and Anthony Davis are on the floor at the same time, the former can protect the rim, single defense and protect the rim, the latter is responsible for assisting in the defense of sweeping and so on, these two people have the opportunity to form the Lakers' interior no-fly zone.

Finally, Andre Drummond's plus-minus in this game was +14, which means the Lakers can outscore their opponents by 14 points when he's on the court. We can also see that his help to the current team is all-round, In addition to the well-known basketball finish, scramble for rebounds and send blocked shots, Drummond solid cover and occasional high point of coordination have impressed people. To know in with the Cleveland Cavaliers reached a buyout agreement, Andre Drummond just with the Lakers signed a $870,000 or so of the base salary contract, who know both sides of the cooperation is temporary, the Lakers can not afford to open more lucrative contract, naturally, will also be missed for some of the other free agents; and Andre Drummond is clearly hope that the Lakers this season with the impact of the championship!

But in any case, both sides are clearly the best choice for each other, Andre Drummond let the Lakers' interior strength effectively realize the upgrade, on the other hand, Drummond's data is also quite magnificent. He has played 8 games on behalf of the Lakers, averaging 11.9 points, 10.1 rebounds, 2 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.9 caps, in the case of relatively reduced playing time and not a lot of ball, still able to have such a performance is not easy. Don't forget that James is not yet back, in his thread, Drummond is bound to get more easy scoring opportunities, that time his data will certainly be more beautiful.

As this league has entered the era of small ball, the field is more and more important to space and outside three, those who do not have the ability to shoot the blue-collar center seems to be abandoned by the times. But Drummond fully proved that as long as you can give a certain number of jobs, he can still become the meat and potatoes. Don't look at the Lakers, including Drummond, has three centers, but the veteran Marc Gasol status decline is very serious, Harrell is more suitable to serve as the second line of scorers, the most suitable for as a starting center with Anthony Davis is really Drummond. As the Lakers' roster becomes more and more complete, they will still be one of the favorites to win the title.
