37+9+4 can't win, Davis angrily criticized his teammates after the game, and if this continues, he will apply for a trade

The Lakers failed to win against the Pistons today, which was indeed a disappointment for many fans. Because the Pistons are not a traditional powerhouse, they can even be considered a bad team. Having not won against such a team, it is clear that the Lakers have obvious problems. Today, Davis still played a high-scoring performance, contributing 37 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists. However, it still couldn't help the team win, and the rest of the Lakers' players didn't perform as well as they could have, especially the bench players.

Davis was also a rare post-game rant for his teammates today. He thinks the Lakers are all problems on the defensive end. The perimeter players didn't do a good job defending. This is one of the main reasons why the Lakers were not able to win the game.

It has to be said that after Davis assumed the main offensive role of the Lakers this year, after assuming the role of the leader of the Lakers, he also has more obligations to ask for players on the team. It's clear that Davis has played dominantly on both ends of the floor, but Davis has repeatedly emphasized that basketball is not a one-on-one sport, but requires all players to play well on the defensive end. It is clear that the Lakers' defense on the guard line is disastrous at this stage, and Russell and Reaves are often difficult to defend in the first line of defense, which leads to the Lakers' defense being full of holes.

You'll find a lot of teams that aren't afraid to face the defense of Lakers' perimeter players. The Lakers can't beat some of the best teams if they don't solve their perimeter defense problems. Even if they can play a flashy offense, they can't cover up their holes on the defensive end. The playoffs, in particular, tend to test the team's defensive ability. Moreover, the Lakers' offense is not at the most effective level, and their bench players are inconsistent in scoring.

Davis now feels like he's fighting alone. Now this Lakers team relies too much on Davis, and if Davis is a little out of shape in a game, then it will be difficult for the Lakers to win. James has now lost his previous dominance, and it will be difficult for him to dominate the game in the fourth quarter. So that's definitely a dangerous sign for the Lakers. This proves that they have now been reduced to a single-core team, and Davis is completely unaffordable in the future. Davis was almost injured in the middle of the game today, which was a wake-up call for the Lakers. Imagine if Davis were injured, the Lakers could immediately suffer a losing streak. How to compete in the playoffs, how to compete for the championship?

If the Lakers lose frequently in the future because of poor defense, Davis plays a lot of highlights, but the Lakers lose a lot. He will become more and more aware of the feeling of being alone. Maybe slowly Davis will have an extremely depressed mood, and it is not even ruled out that he will want to leave the team. Because some players are very competitive, if they are particularly disappointed in a team, they may take the initiative to ask for a trade. Hopefully, in the future, the Lakers won't let Davis think that way.
