In the opening attack, Davis, using Qin Yue's screen to drive past Paul into the Jazz's paint, completed a one-handed slam dunk against Okur.
A lengthy two-month recovery allowed Davis to readjust his physical condition to its peak.
But the main reason why this "King of Bragging" entered beast mode...
was due to Mike Malone's adjustments to the Warriors' starting lineup after the All-Star weekend, and Davis gradually understanding the opposing team's tactical philosophy.
Unlike last season when the Warriors needed Davis to control his shooting desires and peacefully assist Qin Yue, joining forces with him to launch attacks on the court.
In Malone's tactical system, the Warriors instead needed Davis to increase his offensive desires.
Especially after Qin Yue formally rose to the role of primary playmaker...
Whether it's Artest or Davis, they can both get plenty of "easy shots" opportunities on the court.
