Further reading:Modern mythical beast! Anthony Davis Pelicans era classic battles/top 5 peak moments
Known as the "modern beast", Anthony Davis has only played in the playoffs for two years in his career: firstly, he is in the highly competitive Western Conference, and secondly, he lacks suitable and stable helpers around him. As a result, it is difficult for us to see "Yimei" show his prowess in the playoffs. The feeling of powerlessness he felt from taking early vacations over the years may also have been the main factor that led him to switch to Los Angeles. However, once Davis is squeezed into the playoffs, we can always see him deliver amazing results; but unfortunately, in these two playoffs, the Pelicans have been forced to compete with the Golden State Warriors, the strongest team in recent years, and the furthest they can only cross First round mark. But all this will be rewritten in this year's playoffs. Davis has made an appointment to kill everyone on his stage like other legendary seniors of the Purple and Gold! Let’s take a look at the peak playoff battles of AD’s career:

A stunning three-pointer

In the second game of the 2020 Western Conference Championship, the Lakers once held a lead of more than 15 points in the first half. LeBron James, Alex Caruso and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope all contributed with firepower, and the natural enemies of the Golden NuggetsAnthony DavisIt is full of firepower inside and outside. But in the second half the NuggetsJamal MurrayUnder the leadership, Murray quickly caught up, and Murray teamed up with Michael Porter Jr. to chase the score to single digits, and tied the game in the early part of the fourth quarter.
However, the Lakers' outside firepower recovered, and Anthony Davis hit a difficult three-pointer in the last three minutes to open the score to 8 points. Seeing that the victory was in hand, at this timeNikola JokicSuddenly, he showed great power and scored 9 points in a row, but the Lakers failed to score a point. The Golden Nuggets reversed and took a one-point lead with 30 seconds remaining, and AD jumped out again, first cutting in and throwing to regain the lead, but Jokic single-handedly The hook shot was successful again, and the Golden Nuggets blocked the Lakers' attack again, leaving the last 2.2 seconds for the Lakers. However, at the last moment, the Golden Nuggets' defense was unclear. After AD held the ball, Jokic was unable to make a save, allowing AD to rush in and make a decisive victory. The Lakers won their second straight Western Conference Championship game.
I think this is the best game to watch in the playoffs this season. It was a hard-hitting game. The fouls were severe enough, role players jumped out, the coach was bold enough in his tactics, and both sides showed their star value at critical moments. AD said after the game he yelled "Kobe!!" when he made that shot.
Being able to put on the purple and gold jersey and complete such a difficult victory makes this experience even more precious.
