After the Lakers lost to the Suns in the first series, Davis made it clear that he was responsible for the loss after the game and said that he would definitely rebound strongly in World War II. However, he didn't break his word. In the World War II series against the Suns, Davis played extremely hard from the beginning of the game, and finally helped the Lakers beat the Suns with a game-high score of 34 points of 109- 102, making the series score reach 1- 1.

Davis is back in form, and the Lakers are "back in place". Take James for example. In the fourth quarter, Sun launched a counterattack, and he stepped forward and reversed the situation in momentum. His key jumper completely doused Sun's arrogance. James scored 23 points. When the team's three-pointers felt bad, James hit four three-pointers, giving the Lakers more choices on the offensive end.

In the final stage of the competition, vogel once again sacrificed Davis' final lineup to play fifth. Lakers players including James, Schroeder, Popper and caruso played an extremely efficient defensive role. On the offensive end, Zhanmei also made a lot of efforts. Lakers coach vogel said after the game that our winning formula is to let these guys take important responsibilities at the last moment of the game, and they also did what they should do at the crucial moment.

In addition to James and Davis, the Lakers have another key point in fifth place. Although drummond continued to start, compared with the first game, he paid more attention to the contraction protection of the defensive end and did not give Elton an easy chance to score. On the offensive end, he also actively strives for rebounds and makes a second attack. Throughout the game, drummond contributed 15 points and 12 rebounds, which won a great advantage for the Lakers inside.

At the same time, Gasol Jr., who had no chance in the first game, also played 20 minutes in this game. His position on the defensive end and two key three-pointers on the offensive end also made important contributions to the Lakers. It can be seen that vogel has also made its own adjustments on the issue of fifth place. Judging from the results of the game, his adjustment has indeed achieved results.

After James came to the Lakers, the team lost six games last season and lost in the playoffs this season. After losing, the Lakers can immediately rebound and refuse to lose in a row. With this victory, the Lakers returned to Los Angeles with a score of 1- 1. But even though Paul was injured and his physical condition was greatly affected, the Sun still played at a high level, which also reminded the Lakers that they could not relax even when they went home.
