安東尼戴維斯 現在是時候質疑他了

Davis had 25 points on 21 shots, but it's how he got there that raises a familiar red flag.

戴維斯在21次投籃中得到25分，但這是他在此過程中引發了熟悉的危險信號。

We can quickly see that Davis was very effective in the paint, racking up seven of his eight buckets there.

我們很快就會發現戴維斯在油漆區非常有效，8次進攻籃筐中了7次。

Davis is a monster inside. He ranked third in the NBA in total points in the paint in 2017-18, while his new teammate LeBron James ranked No. 1.

戴維斯是內線怪物。他在2017-18賽季油漆區總得分排名聯盟第三，而他的新隊友勒布朗·詹姆斯排名第一。

But in a world where he is playing alongside James, it's key that Davis can get out of the way sometimes and hit some jumpers.

但是當戴維斯在詹姆斯身邊時，他有時可以在外線並且選擇跳投，這是很關鍵的。

Here's the thing, though: Davis is mostly mediocre outside of the nst the Clips, he hit just one of his seven extended 2-point tries and missed both of his 3s.

事情是這樣的：戴維斯在油漆區外通常表現平平，在對陣快船，他嘗試了7次2分球中遠距離跳投，卻投丟了2個三分球。

That small sample size is relevant because it harkens back to a bigger, more troubling trend.

那個小樣本量是有意義的，因爲它可以追溯到更大，導致更令人擔憂的趨勢。

Of the 130 players to take at least 1,000 jumpers outside the lane dating back to 2016-17, Davis ranks 126th in effective field goal percentage (eFG%) at 42%, per Second Spectrum tracking.

追溯到2016-17年度，根據“Second Spectrum”數據統計，在130名至少有1,000跳投的球員中，戴維斯的有效投籃命中率（eFG％）爲42％，排名第126位。

Last year, Davis was very active and very inefficient in the midrange, converting just 36% of his shots.

去年，戴維斯在中距離投射上非常活躍，效率很低，僅轉換了36％的命中率。

Yuck! He also was below average from downtown, where he converted 33% of his tries.

要命！他的三分區投籃命中率也低於平均水平，他的投籃命中率是33％。

The bottom line is that jump-shooting is a big part of Davis' portfolio, and his numbers are more Russell Westbrook than they are Kevin Durant.

最重要的是，跳投是戴維斯（Davis）人設中重要組成部分，他的數據更像拉塞爾·威斯布魯克，而非凱文杜蘭特。

Dating back to 2017-18 season, Davis is one of 95 NBA players to attempt at least 150 uncontested shots outside of the paint.

追溯到2017-18賽季，在外線嘗試至少150次無對抗的投籃的95名NBA球員中，戴維斯是其一。

Of that group, he ranks 89th in efficiency, with an eFG% of just 46.3%. That's just a hair above Ricky Rubio.

在該組球員中，他的效率排名第89位，eFG％僅爲46.3％。這只是僅僅比裏基盧比奧多了一點點。

You know who also isn't a great jump shooter? Reigning MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo. He rates even worse than Davis.

你知道誰也不是優秀的跳投手嗎？現任MVP 揚尼斯·阿德託昆博。他的排名甚至比戴維斯還差。

But the Milwaukee Bucks are designed to take care of that with effective 3-point shooters in a well-crafted system.

但是密爾沃基雄鹿隊經過精心的系統戰術設計，通過有效的三分射手解決了這一問題。

If you can't shoot, you can't space. And if Davis can't effectively space the floor, the Lakers'offense will have issues.

如果不能投射，就不能拉開空間。如果戴維斯不能有效地拉開空間，那麼湖人的進攻就會有問題。

Davis often shares the court with Dwight Howard or JaVale McGee.

戴維斯經常與德懷特·霍華德或賈維爾·麥吉共享球場。

Opposing bigs will sag every game, clogging James'driving corridors, providing interior help, grabbing boards and generally muddying things up.

對面的大個子會每場比賽中在低位，堵塞詹姆斯的運球路線，在內線補防，搶籃板，使事情變得更加混亂。

Danny Green's reliable stroke can only help so much on its own.

丹尼·格林可靠的投籃只能發揮他自己的作用。

If Davis is ineffective as a shooter, that means many of the Lakers'most important lineups will feature two bigs who don't space well enough to declutter the deep paint.

如果戴維斯作爲一名效率低下的射手，這意味着湖人隊最重要的陣容中，將有兩個大個子不能拉開足夠的空間的來清空油漆區。

Dudes like Nikola Jokic, Rudy Gobert, Clint Capela and Hassan Whiteside will have a much easier time against this squad that way.

像尼古拉·約基奇、魯迪·戈伯特、克林特·卡佩拉和哈桑·懷特塞德這樣的球員將會以那種方式輕鬆應對這隻湖人隊。

There's no question Anthony Davis can be a terrific-shooting big. But it's fair to question whether he is right now -- and it's win-now time for the Lakers.

毫無疑問，安東尼·戴維斯可以成爲一個出色的射手。但是對於現在質疑他是否合格，是公平的-—對於湖人來說，這是必須贏的時刻。
